Past Due Time To Name/ReName A Bmt FB Stadium

[mytwocents-28]

Chill out dove. I was just wondering.

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.

Dr. Thomas played football at Texas A&I in Kingsville back in the late 60's.

Nah, I-10 is the right spot. BAM!!! It just comes out at you and millions of other people. What a legacy!!

 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!!!

LOL!! 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.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Name it Memorial Stadium North, we have just as much success there if not more than what BISD does. ;)

For the right price anybody can name it.

[understand]

How about naming it Jim Crow. that would make a lot on this site happy

[SFA85]

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[bedelmon]

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?

[BADSANTA]

Silsbee stadium would he named after Henry!

[liltex]

To my understanding the supt did a ok job w/some likes/dislikes.Give alot of educated educators a big title a task & right @ 348K = perks & yrly pay raises(highest paid supt in Texas) & I'll bet THEY do a real good job

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:

[BMTSoulja1]

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...

[mighymouse490]

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.

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!

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.

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.

:rolleyes: Not sure what the article was suppose to prove. 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?
