I have more knowledge that you 2 geezers put together. I know that neither LCM or Lumberton are in the playoffs. I know the last winning season either of you have seen was before Martin Luther King got shot. I also know the sports tradition in Lumberton is to just try not to get hurt. Winning isnt neccessary. It's pointless for Lumberton fans to even have hope these days. Just go to the game to get out the house😂😂😂. If the game is even close that's a bonus. Kid show up knowing the chance of winning is not just slim it's just none. Lumberton has alot of growth and has a decent town. All they growth and no sports wins. Who's moving to your town? Retirees?

Actually this year was a winning season but that’s beside the point. You still haven’t answered how you managed to go to the game while listening to the broadcast and putting your tree up at the same time? Please answer that simple question and I’ll leave you alone. Since, you know, my team sucks so I obviously know nothing about football anyway.

I was just taking a poll. Thanks for answering truthfully. Bad Santa don’t want to answer lol

Not that he can't answer for himself, but he couldn't play football because of a health condition he had during high school.

Not sure why this is so important to you to know who did or didn't play football. What's the point?

One thing going for Silsbee, they have never lost to WO-S in the playoffs.

Well, that is due to a couple of things.  Recently, Silsbee was in a different classification.  Other than that....they didn’t make it far enough for the teams to meet up.  So thus far 1998 and 2018 are the claim to fame.

Oh, I do hope you'll need your rain gear.

Who else is superstitious about sports?  I certainly was when I played back in the ancient times.  Silly.  I had to eat a grapefruit on Thursday night watching a particular TV show or else I would jinx us.  Don't remember the show, don't remember how it got started.  

Last night I felt I had to change seats at the half because the Tigers were flat.  Seemed like the Buffaloes had the formula.  The Tigers weren't out of it by any means but they needed some breaks and some big plays.     So I changed seats and look what happened, 28 unanswered points in the second half.  My rational brain tells me that it's happenstance coupled with the fact that the Tigers stepped up and performed.  But my primitive brain tells me it was all because I changed seats.

Last year at Legacy there was a moment when it looked like Cuero was about to take control for good.  The grandkids were with us there at Legacy and they are big Harry Potter fans.  Cuero had just scored and was driving again so I told them needed something so they should cast a spell.  Happily they obliged.  They consulted among themselves and came up with a hex and chanted some Potter stuff and waved their arms and the next play the Tigers recovered a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown.  I mean the very next play!  Remember the play?  It was hilarious!  You should have seen their faces.  "Granddaddy!  It worked!  It actually worked!  We did it!  We did it!"  It's become legend in our family already.

See?  That's how these things get started.

And now it's the rain.  If it rains the Tigers will beat the Mustangs in playoff situations.  The quality of the teams has nothing to do with it.  It's the rain you see.  I was there in 98, wasn't it at TJ stadium?  My daughter was a senior.  I was there last year when it was obvious to everyone that WOS looked very uncomfortable right from the start but the Tigers seemed to be thrilled thrilled that it was storming.  Weather is the great equalized and that's factual and reasonable.  But what day it decides to rain is happenstance.  And I love it.  And why not?Usually these things are decided in delivery rooms 17 or 18 years ago or by who moves to what town are by who can find and keep the best coach.  But every now and then fate rears it's disturbing head. 

I wonder if the Mustangs would trade every single one of those regular season wins for the two Tiger postseason wins?  Oh those lovely intangibles.

Anyway, PM showers on Thursday but it will have moved off by Friday.  Oh well.  Doesn't mean the Tigers have to lose.  Does it?  I'm calling the grandkids.

Would they trade EVERY SINGLE regular season wins for the playoff wins?

No.  That would mean different playoff seeding and in some instances, that particular WOS team wasn’t that good.

No I didnt play football, basketball, or baseball in high school🤷🏾‍♂️. Not sure that doesnt qualify me to speak on sports. I have family members who have had Pro Bowl NFL careers, cousins who were recent Tiger Qbs/Willie Ray Smith winners and some standouts at West Brook and Ozen. I've been a guest on sports radio 790 twice this year and 1590am with former K-State QB Mike Bishop and former Texan Arian Foster. I have 2 very close friends who work in the Houston media and we all talk about sports. With that being said, yes I have a pretty good sports knowledge that goes far beyond high school where I didnt play. If you need proof inbox and u can view my IG or FB sir.

Silsbee will have to show up and tackle alot better than they did in the 1st meeting. We all know WOS has a good defense and its important for Silsbee to play in front of the chains and not get hit with holding penalties and offsides penalties. If Foster can throw the ball like he did in the 2nd half of the Giddings game, Silsbee will stand more than a chance. I've only seen highlights of WOS but they seem to be balanced in the run and pass.

    • RWG Stem vs Liberty Magnet tips off in 5 minutes in the main gym.
    • REL actually improved this year to 6-4 which was remarkable because like you said, they had a lot of injuries and their bench was thin before that.  It’s crazy how the smallest of the 3 GCCISD High Schools finds a way to at least field a team that can hold their own but you’re right that coaching is one aspect of it.  Not that they’re a top 150 team or even close to it but if they’d lost a couple less guys there’s a real chance they could have beat Texas City and gone to at least the 1st round of playoffs this year which for GCCISD football might as well be State for how hard it is for them.   You’re spot-on about GCM and RSS coaches.  GCM coach is 2-28 over 3 years and RSS coach is 15-45 over 6.  Hard to get kids to participate in what they know from the outset is a losing proposition.  I watched the GCM/NS Game.  I was worried someone would get hurt, felt sick.  All 22 of NS starters are high level D1 Commits, QB is 19 years old, and GCM lined up a bunch of Sophomores against them, kids that aren’t even old enough to drive.     I know GCCISD wouldn’t ever do it but they really ought to stop insisting that the 3 High Schools play each other for their first 2 out of conference games.  At least let GCM out of it.  All 3 schools are in different Classifications so the wins don’t matter except for bragging rights around town and with REL winning both those games every season all it does is kill morale before the first District game is even played.  Let GCM schedule some OOC games on their level like Houston Sterling/Sam Houston/Chavez for their first 3.  That way there’s a good chance even if they lose every District game they could end up 3-7 and if they beat Channelview 4-6.  GCM having to lose to RSS and REL to start their season every year is just a killer.   You want to know why all the talent at EF Green Jr doesn’t show up at GCM?  Because that talent transfers to North Shore after 8th grade is done.  Straight-up.  They don’t care if you know either.  Those kids moms get on Facebook and brag about it.  Of course, most of those kids end up so far back on the depth chart that by Sophomore year they want to transfer back just so they can get to play at all but then you run into the eligibility thing.    Anyway, sorry for the off-topic tangent, this is a BH thread.  
    • They are very good. Really good shooting guard that's '6"3. Also have a do it all forward that's '6"5. He does everything for them. Score, rebound, defend. Maybe not as quick overall as those other teams, but I think they will at least make state semifinals.
    • Brookeland is playing Frankston in Aux gym. Game started at 1pm  
    • What’s your take on brookeland?  How do they compare to those teams in the late 90s early 2000s?
