AggiesAreWe Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 The man use to be a coach. Who cares if he didn't play sports. He got a school district back on its feet academically, which is far more important than sports. Or at least thats what we all try and pretend errrr say in formal terms. Then name a school or the administration building after him. Quote

Dr. Thomas played football at Texas A&I in Kingsville back in the late 60's. Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 Then name a school or the administration building after him. Nah, I-10 is the right spot. BAM!!! It just comes out at you and millions of other people. What a legacy!! Yeoj 1 Quote
NorthoftheBorder Posted July 3, 2014 Report Posted July 3, 2014 The name is fine with me too. I remember beating LeVias in a pick up racquetball game in Houston, back in 90's. I knew he looked familiar but someone had to tell me who he was. Nice guy. So let me get this staight, this is your way of saying that you are a superior talent to Jerry Levias??? Hmmmmm........you are like Herman "the helicopter" Knowings or Earl 'the goat" Manigault of NY playground fame. They were far superior to any talent that ever played in the NBA, just bad breaks kept them from making it to the big time!!! So that is your story..............SMH!!! Quote

Man, I have much respect for Levias. He helped open up some doors for those coming in behind him. Point being, I 'd beat my momma and especially yours if I had to compete against them. understand 1 Quote

bedelmon Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Steve Shaver Stadium..... Last Beaumont ISD Coach to bring home a Texas 5-A Championship.... If Thomas was so good, why was everyone moving out of the district under his reign? thetragichippy 1 Quote

Baller 93 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Isn't BISD in the hole they are in right now because of Mr. Carol "Butch" Thomas? So why name a stadium after a man who started the fire, saw the writing on the wall and ran......? Where is Mr. Thomas now......... :rolleyes: Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Posted July 5, 2014 Well, It's not confirmed that Dr.Thomas did anything... He was here... The district thrived... FBI came in... And nothing... He retired and that was it. I don't think it happened on his watch... Yeoj and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote
mighymouse490 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 i like willie ray smith stadium. afterall, ALL golden triangle teams have members of his special team, any player from the G.T. can win his award. most all play at the butch. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

So why name a stadium after a man who started the fire, saw the writing on the wall and ran......? Where is Mr. Thomas now......... :rolleyes: I think :mellow: well I know a lot of people would love to blame it on Butch. BISD thrived under Butch. Wasn't perfect but who is? Me and Butch got into a shouting disagreement once. The man was no pushover and he was paid a salary that he earned. The sad part is that people harped on his salary, why? I don't hear or didn't hear any other complaints about salaries in this area. Yeah! I know, the complaint was always "no other supt." Blah! Blah! Blah! Quote
Baller 93 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Posted July 7, 2014 2 Questions 1) Who hired all these crooked people, that put BISD in this position? 2) Why did Mr. Thomas leave in the first place when he was making that much money? KABrother 1 Quote
BLUEDOVE3 Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 2 Questions 1) Who hired all these crooked people, that put BISD in this position? 2) Why did Mr. Thomas leave in the first place when he was making that much money? #1. Can you prove they were crooks before they were hired? #2. Probably had no other challenges since the district was running smoothly when he left. Quote
Bigdog Posted July 8, 2014 Report Posted July 8, 2014 #1. Can you prove they were crooks before they were hired? #2. Probably had no other challenges since the district was running smoothly when he left. Yeah, real smooth. Funny how alot of this stuff started coming out after he left, although some of it was going on while he was there. http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Thomas-says-he-s-leaving-while-things-are-good-2675125.php Quote

Unless you're saying he pissed off a lot of former S.Park students from way back in the day. Have you seen their new campus, lately? Mr. Buddy Garrity, SFA85 and Yeoj 3 Quote
