kicker 2.0 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 8 minutes ago, JimThorpe said: Clearly this would be a huge win for Silsbee, arguably the biggest ever. But what about WOS? Obviously it couldn't be the biggest, not for a 4 time State Championship School. But how big is it? To me the 86 and 87 wins were the biggest because they came against the very best in Div 4A. 2015 and 2016 were huge of course, especially when combined with the 4 straight appearances. But WOS didn't beat the BEST 4A teams on the way to the championships. I think both Carthage and La Vega would beaten the Mustangs in those years. And probably Argyle in 2015. From what I've seen so far this year in watching Silsbee's run, Div II isn't quite as tough as Div I, which stands to reason. But that's neither here nor there. The bottom line is that the WOS program is arguably the strongest in the state for the last 40 years all things considered. And where does that put us? Well, the WOS faithful can (and do) say, "We beat you guys practically every time we meet in the regular season and preseason." But Tiger folks can rebut, "So what? We get beat regularly by a certain 3A team (that shall remain nameless). Big deal, none of that ever keeps us from making the playoffs. And you guys have never sent us home in the post season. We, on the other hand, HAVE sent you home. And that more than trumps all those less important games." So, can a win on Friday be just another Forest Gump type moment for the Mustangs? "So we went to the playoffs... again. And we won our quarterfinal game.... again." I wonder. Not "beating the best" 4A teams, is very subjective. Also, the UIL decided the new classifications, not WOS. lol Gasilla, #1stangfan, WOSdrummer99 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we would have beat Waller, we would have played LaMarque the following week. We were seriously overachieving making it that far to be honest. Nah Kicker we had another game vs Friendswood in the 3rd Rd before LaMarque our sophomore yr in 96. We overlooked Silsbee our senior year because when we played them earlier in the season & limited them to -17 total yards and one first down. That still has to some kind of record . . .

WOSdrummer99 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Since the split to multiple divisions the playoffs are watered down. 10 yrs ago going this deep was as far it got.

I remember when wos lost to the tigers in the playoffs. They made it all they way to la marque which skull drugg silsbee 49 to 28 or something like that. I did see them play el campo the game before that in the Astrodome (the greatest stadium in the world) they ran all over the ricebrids that day.

That season we would have matched with LaMarque in the 4th round, not the 3rd like our next season. Yeah, we destroyed the Tigers in pre district in '98.

ST413 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 All this talk of previous wins against us or our playoff win vs you mean virtually nothing. The only thing that it gives is the “they can’t beat us” or “we can’t get past them” mystique. You can even throw out that game a few weeks ago. These are both 2 different teams now. I have questions still in my head for both sides not only pertaining to this game but anymore that the winner will play. Naturally I want to see my Tigers win but I really want a good clean game with no injuries so that the winner will be in good shape for the next week. dj, Goblin and wo-s#1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. But if you had a child on board it’s alot faster to drive to Bmt then a hour a away to check on them. Because I’m sure most family’s don’t follow the bus. Closer you are it’s faster to respond to your child is my point BMTSoulja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers2010 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I get it. I would go to the game if it was here in SETX. But, I don't want to drive that far. Plus, I would have to scrounge up some gas money. CardinalBacker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wosfan1992 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 On topic. Talk this week’s game not years ago. With that being said Texan Drive is pretty much like our home stadium in the playoffs. We love it there. Days go by and I feel more confident that we’ll pull this out.

BMTSoulja1 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 If people knew how to act, this could've been a really good money maker for both schools. AAW, would WO-S and Silsbee split the proceeds? Would UIL get the dough? Concessions? Would NCISD get that? How does this work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
