[Guest spinks]

According to the Silsbee fans and one of the experts on this board Jasper has NO chance.  They should not even play this game according to you guys!!!!!!!!! :

Should people predict Jasper to win, if they think they are really going to lose so no one gets their feelings hurt.   :

I heard from a reliable source that the Jasper bb players will be practicing baseball tomorrow.

Bailey and Spikes have a shooter's chance.

Obviously the odds are Silsbee will win this game but here is one thing to remember- the pressure really is all on them.  We can get on here and say how Jasper has no shot and they are going to get blown out and maybe they will.  But even if that happens, Jasper can walk out of that gym knowing that they had a great year and probably went as far as they could.  ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH, if Silsbee were to lose, their season to some degree would be considered a failure which is unfortunate but also true.  I know Silsbee has played in some high profile games this year with HJ and they know what pressure feels like BUT the pressure of a game that determines your playoff seeding isn't quite the same as a game that determines if you get to keep playing.  I imagine Silsbee will win this one and Congrats to them if they do but let's just go ahead, throw that ball up at 8:00 in Huntsville, and play that game anyway.  Hope it's a good one.

Thank you Jarhead, finally someone on here is talking with common sense. These two team have played and yes silsbee blew jasper out the water, but this was early and both teams have improved so expect a better game. Go Dawgs "We Believe"

Jarhead, consider yourself warned that logic is not always welcomed here.

Well I did kind of flinch when I realized somebody had replied to my post.  I've seen some of the blastings people get but I figured since I didn't actually say that Silsbee (or HJ for that matter) would lose, I might be able to walk out and not limp out!

Wow I still remember that game like it was yesterday, I'm still upset over it. But Jasper came to play that night, and it could happen again you never know even though Silsbee is the overwhelming favorite, you still have to play the game.

Good sensible and logical comment, Statechamp07.  However, sometimes sensibility and logic seemed to be condemned on this board.

[Ulrich von Lichtenstein]

Wow.  Does it seem eerie reading this thread after tonight's result? 

Great, great ballgame.  Great season by a superb Silsbee Tiger team.  This one is going to hurt those guys for a long time.  My heart goes out to them.

[Jasper#8]

sounds to me like silsbee talks a little bit too much crap and can't back it up.

Jasper showed them whats up.

No, just a few posters talk crap.  My heart goes out to the rest of them.  I know they are hurting right now.

[PoppaBearstarr]

no doubt about it I know they are extremely disappointed. I know becuase that is how I felt last year. Great season Tigers keep those chins up, You had a amazing run, with one of the most talented group of young men in SE Texas. Great Job Jasper looking forward to another match up with you guys, I know you played us tight last year at our place, baily and sparks went off on us.
