Just read she’s a senior, she’s staying on The Hill to graduate for sure.  

Willing to bet there's a friend or family that she can stay with for a couple of months.  Have seen that exact scenario play out before when a coach left a school while his kid was close to graduating.

We all have biases, it is human. I try to eliminate them but that can be a challenge. 

If you have an example of my bias feel free to ask me about it, I'll be happy to discuss with you in an open forum or in private. 

I don't have any problem with you at all. All I said was, paraphrasing, you are human like the rest of us. I clearly have biases too, but I guess I am just real enough to say it. If you want to talk privately thats fine, but I don't have anything specific to say to you. 

I will add this, its not necessary to think like a few others do here. Every word I say is picked apart to the N'th degree by the eternal critics (not claiming you are one). The "that" thing is a perfect illustration. It was less than nothing spun up by the usual suspects. No surprise, the immature pot stirrers thrive on stuff like that. 

We are good, as far as I know. But feel free to PM if you need to. I'll happily talk if you want.

Well I am not on Smokey but I see all the nasty comments being hurled. 

I never dreamed simply using the word "that" would unhinge so many but when there is 24/7 derangement syndrome I guess "that" can happen. I guess its nice to be so important "that" one harmless word can cause so many of you to trip out!  Meanwhile the constant racial insults and racial threats are accepted and supported. 

God Bless y'all.

I swear, if I have to explain the joke it takes all the humor out of it.  You might not get it, but there’s folks in here who do.

If you’re from Beaumont, maybe you can tell me why yall let the Pig Stand close?  I loved that place.

Well, if you keep up with Beaumont news, it’s different from the 80’s/90’s. Lol

I think as long as Abseck doesn’t bring his DC from BH with him he should be alright. That guy gave up 30+ points a game and from what I hear was part of the reason Abseck got run out of town. Somehow he’s still on staff though so maybe he’s gotten in good with the board.  

[PackAttack]

Coach Abseck has hit the ground running here in Lufkin. Reaching out to kids, working to get a full time strength and conditioning coach on campus. New turf coming in our indoor practice facility and at Abe Martin Stadiun. Other improvements in the works too. You can see things happening that have not occured here in the last 13 years, and maybe as far back as the Outlaw days. The man has really been on the move in his first month on the job putting things in place. Someone told me he was still looking for a DC. So I guess the DC at Barbers Hill is not going to be part of the staff. In fact several coaches from Quick's staff are remaining to coach with Abseck. Our forner OC and RB coach went to Groveton. Sure wish we could have kept our DC, he is good, but someone told me he was headed to College Station. Sorry to hear that news.

Anyway, really like what I see and hear going on right now, will be interesting to see how all this all comes together in time.

I am glad everyone feels so good about Abseck landing in Lufkin. Abseck was treated with much skepticism and some outright criticism when he arrived at his previous location, and that was before he even started. Just a coincidence, I guess.

Well, if that existed before he got started working at BH, that seems to indicate a lot of division existed in the selection process, maybe other community powers trying to pull strings.  I know Carl Abseck says he is happy to be in Lufkin, and everyone associated with the program likes what he is doing right now.

No coincidence.  There’s VERY rarely a choice that’s universally liked at the outset.  I mean, just take Abseck’s name out and place Simper’s name in its place in that paragraph and it reflects the current situation at BH.

Simper’s also been busy putting his own mark on BH.  I don’t want to get into exactly what the moves are but he’s shaking things up, has his own way of doing things, and at least from what I’ve heard he’s doing differently it seems like they’re all good ideas.  We’ll have to see what it looks like on the field but there’s a lot going on and at least right now it all sounds really good.  
 

It’ll be interesting to see what opinions are a year from now.  Both Lufkin and BH have high expectations for their football programs and both are in the same District.  One program is going to end up on top of the other next season.  The Coach of the team that comes out on top will have silenced any detractors with that win.  The Coach that ends up on bottom is gonna have a harder row to hoe.

It was all outsiders who didn't like Abseck when he was hired at BH. I did not hear a single person at BH dislike the hire. 

These same outsiders now think Abseck is a great hire for Lufkin. Coincidence, I am sure, LOL.

There should not even be a question that Lufkin is a heavy favorite when they play BH this year. They more than doubled up BH, 32-14 this season. Like everyone here says, BH has no athletes, and Lufkin has enough athletes to win the SEC. What would have possibly changed that BH would now be expected to win? Lufkin by 25+.

What is this, “Opposite Day”?  Or are you just trying to get out ahead of folks picking apart each loss next season by accepting said losses in advance?

BH still has athletes.  They’ve got some talent at QB next season, one young and one a transfer and they look good.  Correct me if I’m wrong but even though Abseck was willing to sign off on transfers up until the moment he vacated his AD position I don’t believe many BH kids/parents took him up on it.  BH has home field advantage this year, (Lufkin has the long road trip), so while BH is the underdog the only way BH gets blown out is if they completely fall apart in the 1st quarter and can’t recover.  If that happens, Abseck will run the score up on them worse than 25+ like he used to against the GCCISD teams.  Simper knows all this, and he’s got the whole offseason to get ready for it.  If BH gets blown out it’s 100% on Simper and Poole and what a mess that’ll be on The Hill!

You know, if BH is really in such bad shape, maybe they ought to schedule REL/GCM in out-of-District play this year.  They’d probably have to pay a little money to make it happen but yall got plenty of that.  Just a thought.  BH couldn’t beat Deer Park last season before their troubles began, so they definitely don’t want to be scheduling any “statement” games in OOD this year.

One transfer? Care to elaborate on that?

Not much else to say about it except what I heard and that’s what I heard.  I mean, I wouldn’t out the kid even if I knew his name which I don’t.

Ah ok. Just curious if you had seen the kid and whether or not he could be a potential starter for the Eagles. I know the Sophomore lefty looks promising, but if I am Simper and I know I need a successful year 1 to overcome all the BS, I don't necessarily want to count on an underclassman backup.

DC has three daughters that are extremely good athletes. BH is a great place for those girls to be and BH is more than happy to have them I'm sure..

Never like senior transfers. I think it rarely works out and should not be allowed.

If I have the timeline correct it's Hardin, Anahuac, Rusk, Anahuac and now Barbers Hill.
