Do y'all still sing the song about the Gay Caballero?

You know....

 

"He's the Gay Caballero,

He comes from out there Cuero,

He can't wait to get to San Franscisco....

Just to swing... his...rope."

 

Because honestly, that's all I know about Cuero.  

Dude, Chill...

I’ll be here. Honestly I don’t know anything about Silsbee. I did watch them beat WOS last week and maybe it was the rain but I didn’t see the speed you guys are talking about. 

A combination of huge amounts of rain and WO-S having a very stout defense...  

A little bit of the speed was in display on defense and a couple of breakaway runs.  Key word, a little bit.

And to be honest Speed helps but technique neutralizes that. Hell we were state champs in track 3 out of 4 years a few years back with a hell of a class going through but we never won it in football. Just saying 

Silsbee had the 2x state 100m/200m champ for 2017 and 2018. Silsbee has been know for it's their speed for years. There are 5 or 6 track guys on the football team.

This is the first 5th round appearance by the Tigres that I can recall. Is this their deepest trip ever?

This team is without a doubt not as heavily stacked as some of the previous Tigre squads. Honest question for the Silsbee honks. Do you guys think that this success can be attributed more heavily to the drop to 4AD11, or the new offensive scheme/discipline that Coach Smith has been implementing in Smoketown?  

I think the road to the F-I-F (Fif!) round is much easier in D2, but I also think that playing smart, disciplined football is paying off for the Tigers.  What do you guys think?

2nd appearance in state semifinals. First time was 1977.

IMO, dropping down to DII has more to do with the playoff success.

The only reason i would say dropping down has helped them is because there is no Carthage. Honestly if you take Carthage out of this region then Silsbee would have probably done the same thing in Division 1.

Basically by putting it that way I’m saying that you can’t take anything away from what Silsbee is doing this year. Because you play who you play, and you still gotta go out there and win the games. There’s plenty of teams who drop down (Lumberton for example) and it doesn’t always automatically translate into deep playoff runs.

I would agree. Silsbee played and lost to Carthage 5 or 6 times. No Carthage I see Silsbee going to the 4th or state with the 2015-17 teams.

Not sure what year it was, maybe 2015, but when Dontre Thomas was yalls qb. I remember that was my first state championship game to go to, and I remember telling my Father in law that y’all could have beaten either team playing that day. I wanna say it was Waco la Vega and somebody else.

    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level. 
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
