Sounds about right.

[Morris_era]

WOS by 21

[PINETREE]

Silsbee Tigers Homecoming...just a little more motivation.....plus i'm a little prejudice.....Silsbee 28....WOS 27

[ThunderCat]

The score will be whatever it will be! To be honest this really isn't a rivalry game for WOS anymore! Silsbee folks hype it up yet fall short again and again! Yes they beat WOS years ago but this matchup isn't The same anymore! Hopefully there's no extracurricular  BS like during basketball season between the two teams! Silsbee will get beat for Homecoming and that's a dang shame!

[wosfan1992]

I say it'll be 42-13. Silsbee gone sneak one in on us and get a couple FGs. 

[purpleeagle]

WO-S  49  Silsbee 10

[ladybug33]

I don't care about the score just the win. GO WOS!

[ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING]

Y do teams keep putting wos on the homecoming list it's like they want that lip to be long after the game 

[aTmfan06]

WOS by 21. And I agree this honestly isn't a rivalry 

[tennisbc]

I too agree that Silsbee and WOS is no football rivalry. Can WOS say that have any rivalry school like PNG-Nederland? Maybe at one time Jasper but that has totally been dead. 

[BMTSoulja1]

No if Silsbee beats WO-S this Friday. I wonder what the 'this is no rivalry anymore' folk will say.  

And on a side note, even with Silsbee missing the player on offense and defense has a chance for the upset.  Just need a game plan to keep the Mustang QB in the pocket and not run free...

[Silsbee92]

Well dont accept the game next time.... or offer, if that is the case.

If it has no benefit, then it must not be worth your time.

Even with a Silsbee win it's not a rivalry lol

In Silsbee's case this season, they really had no choice in having the WO-S game as it's homecoming game. Silsbee has only 4 home games this season (actually 3 due to Harvey). Week 1 had PN-G coming to town. No one has homecoming in week 1. Week 5 is WO-S. Week 9 and Week 11 are Bridge City and Cleveland. The school district didn't want to wait that long in the season for homecoming (Oct. 27 & Nov. 10). The BC game is Middle School night and Pink Out. Cleveland game is Senior night. So really the WO-S game was the only reasonable choice.

But, as for Silsbee Homecomings go, it's never been about the opponent. It's always been about what date on the schedule works best for the school and the community.

[AggiesAreWe]

As far as rivals go, Silsbee has one. Jasper

WO-S is not a rival.

[fishcat]

Jasper and Silsbee are big rivals . Big hits very exciting game . I think Silsbee vs wos is going to be closer than people think I'm leaning toward Silsbee in a close one.

[WOSgrad]

The fact that this is not a "rivalry" game means precious little to me.  I truly doubt that the coaching that either Cornel Thompson or Randy Smith will be any less intense because some of us don't consider each other "rivals."  And come Friday, I doubt that fact will cause any less effort by either the Mustangs or the Tigers.

I for one, am glad to have a quality team like Silsbee on the Mustangs' schedule.  The last couple of seasons notwithstanding, the ballgames between the two schools have usually been a pretty tightly contested affair.  Second, I am glad to see at least one team, among a schedule of increasingly run heavy teams, that spends a good bit of time putting the ball in the air.  The Mustangs will definitely need such tests and reps to get where all of us Stang fans want them to be around Christmas time.

Finally, it appears that Silbee is joining WO-S as the team that nobody wants to play.  My understanding is that Smith tried at least 3 other teams, all significantly larger than Silsbee, in an effort to regain a lost game.  All said no.  WO-S fans can sympathize.

Aaw, I can roll with you this ONE time.  In this case, you're right in why WO-S is the homecoming opponent win the lack of Home games this year...

But you know my views on scheduling the homecoming opponent.  Lol

And you can certainly have those views when it comes to your Jaguars and other teams.

Being a life long Silsbee Tiger, seeing Tiger homecoming games for 50 years, being involved with the school admins and coaches and learning over the years how the system works, I can say with 100% certainty that the date has much more to do with when homecoming is than what opponent it may be. That's just fact, not opinion.

[kicker 2.0]

I could be mistaken but If I remember correctly(which I normally don't, lol) this same thing happened after Rita. It was either HJ or HF that had to use our game as homecoming because of the abbreviated schedule.
