WOSgrad Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 45 minutes ago, JasperDAWG said: honest thoughts? well here goes mine................our schedule f***ing sucks! yeah wos beat us like a step child behind the woodshed(but in case barbay didnt notice they did/ and are going to do 95% percent of teams last year and this year) really how does open week benefit the Dawgs the second week of season. take time and look at just the teams here in our area and see just how many have open this early. u will find a very few. then in the middle of district (regardless how weak the exception being tatum) u schedule a charter school from louisiana. yes i respect barbay and really to this point have been pleased with what he has done with the dawgs but the scheduling this year has me perplexed along with pissed. Although I have made clear that I share your perplexity of who is and, more importantly, who is not on Jasper's schedule this year, I feel compelled to defend the Jasper staff in this specific instance. As far as teams in the area, I don't think there was one in Week 2 that was available to play. As you can see from the weekly schedule at the top, Jasper is the only 11 man team with an open date this week.. I do know that Jasper was on a pretty rigorous search for a Week 2 opponent, but they simply couldn't find one. So, as far as the open date this week, while not the best timed in the world, it probably was a bit outside of their control so they should catch a break from any heat.

Eazy Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 They need an extra week to get ready for Silsbee. Quote

And I have no argument with what you said whatsoever. As I said at the outset I agreed with you that Jasper's non-district schedule is crap and I go even further in saying that Barbay's refusal to play WO-S (and according to reliable sources Silsbee until being compelled to do so by Jasper ISD administration) is grounded in nothing but pure cowardice. That being said, I also saw WO-S struggle to get to a full 10 game schedule for the very reason that sometimes, it is kinda hard to find the dance partner that can dance with you on the same date as you need. That is all I was trying to say. Quote
Bulldog92 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 Both of you make good points. Maybe that week in the middle of district could be a defacto bye week so that some of the younger guys can get some snaps in a game. I don't know if that team is any good, but it would give the starters a chance to rest if they can take control of the game early. Quote
pdawg119 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Posted August 30, 2016 Jasper better bring their A-game if they want to defeat the Fighting Byes of Open Week High. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Bulldog92 Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Posted August 30, 2016 We can practice for BYE with the best of them. They've never beat us. Quote

I know absolutely nothing about the football ability of Slaughter Charter. I do however, happen to know that they are located just north of Baton Rouge, which puts them in the area devastated by historic floods earlier in the month. So there remains the possibility that this date COULD become an actual open date. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

That was the only losing season of the Walkoviak era... Edit: We went 5-6 in '93, so GW had two losing seasons in 20 years at Jasper. Quote

Some schools might consider those two seasons to be "winning" seasons. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote

Back in 63 and 64, Jasper did not celebrate wins, they celebrated TDs, and not very often at that. In 1963 scored on Orange Stark, David Foster and company, it just made Stark mad. Really mad. Final score was 65 or so to 6 for Jasper. Don't miss those days at all. Jasper did beat Vidor something like 12-7 that year though. Only win in two years. So we need to have respect for those schools that are struggling. It easily could happen to Jasper again someday. camsdad 1 Quote
