Bigger Deal beating Silsbee in basketball or beating WOS in football?

I think based on the fact that in a given season you might have one chance at West Orange, where in basketball you might get at least two chances at Silsbee, it is a bigger deal. Also, it is easier to beat a team in basketball than it is in football. That's why in the pros you have to win a series. Great teams lose to bad teams in basketball all the time.

 For topic, I’d say beating WOS in football.

Now to respond to the above post.  This year, my G’sons team had “two chances” at Silsbee in basketball.  We actually had the lead over them in the second game (1-0).  Somehow, after the first butt whipping, chance was not what came to mind for the second - let’s see, game?  No, that’s not good either.  More like the My Lai massacre.

Right - I don't minimize how dominant Silsbee basketball has been by any stretch. No team has beaten Silsbee twice and most haven't beaten Silsbee once at all over the past several years.

It was my first time to see them live.  It was very impressive, or depressive lol.  And yes, they got beat in the playoffs, but I’ve no doubt in a rematch, Silsbee could have won.  Good team - good Coach, tough combination.

      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.  We'll be at McnNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      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.
