I can admit I was wrong

Today, 4 Manvel players signed LOIs to FBS schools.

How many Nederland players signed today?

Good for them.  I wonder how many Aledo will have?!  But, I'll say it again -- it's all about coaching.  I'm sure coaching had a lot to do with those 4 players signing.  A good coach can win with talented and less talented players.  A mediocre coach can only win with good players.  BTW -- I watched some clips of Aledo and their players do not look any different than Nederland's and PN-G's.  So, again, as many Titles as they have it HAS to be the coaching.

Enough to take Nederland down with whatever coach you want to have on the Bulldog sideline.

That's were you and I disagree.  I added some concerning Aledo.  Through all the State Tiles Aledo has, it would be interesting to see how many signed with big-time colleges.

Briles is a great example.  If he had stayed at Wolforth Frenship, he very well could have gotten one there as well. 

Briles never coached at WF. He left SVille after 99 title and went to Texas Tech as RB coach. Kendall Briles transfered for Senior year to WF (a suburb of Lubbock) because that's where the family was.

Aledo has big athletes. Big lines year in year out. That's something that's missing in local 5A. Teams have one or two big athletic linemen, but not 5. 

I agree... the thing is that those big lines year in, year out, are created in the weight room over a period of years.  I'll be willing to bet that there's a dedicated strength and conditioning guy or at least a solid o-line coach who's instilling a dream in fat junior high kids.

Some yes, but you can't teach 6'4" 290 lbs.

Last year, Aledo had at lease two lineman, one went to Michigan, one went to TCU, their QB went to Dartmouth.  There were others who went to FCS schools.  You would think you would at least do a little research here.

Aledo has 7 state titles in 18 years.  Do they ALWAYS have better athletes?  BTW, thanks for doing the research!

Briles won 4 Titles in 7 years.  Only one since he's left.  Stephenville has 5 State Titles in 20 years.  Like Aledo, did Stepenville ALWAYS have the talent?  Or -- was it created through coaching?!  Personally I feel C. Thompson at WOS creates his athletes.  JMO!

So he could replicate athletes exactly like the ones he has?...at any other school? Meaning FBS caliber players...

Yes and no... I firmly believe there are FBS caliber kids at lots of schools who never reach their potential because of limited coaching. 

WOS absolutely has their share of stud athletes... but CT gets so much more out of those kids AND the kids who aren’t as gifted and gets the job done, year in and year out. 

If believing that there’s a genetic force field around the Cove helps you sleep at night, good for you. It gets done because of their legendary work ethic and good coaching. Anytime you can hit Jerry world with a fourth option at qb, it’s not just athleticsm getting you there. Anytime you can return to the sc the following year with a complete new group, it’s not just athleticism. 

It’s all about molding the athletes you have to achieve their full potential. And it doesn’t start in high school. I’m willing to bet that there is a better football program in WOS Jr high than in a lot of high school varsity programs in the area.

He's playing for his 3rd straight Title.  It's not about how many FBS players you have.  It's hard for me to believe that they win every year and they just so happen to have great athletes every year.  When in Vidor, PN-G and Nederland -- not that far away -- they can't replicate the same thing.  It has to be coaching ability.  JMO.  What's your take on it?

I will be observing the talent of the State Title participants and evaluate how I feel they compare/don't compare to what we have locally.  I would suggest to those that are actually interested do the same.

But are you watching God-given gifts or carefully cultivated talents? I’m not sure I could tell the difference.

    • Yeah, I got that but talk about a stretch. It should seem obvious that Trump’s prosecution is purely political. If someone is going to do a whataboutism, at least make it similar.  This is so ludicrous that it’s like comparing a ham sandwich to a wallet.   
    • You consistently try to say Trump ran our debt up and that the stock market and job market cratered during his administration (along with other MSNBC talking points). That is a flat out LIE, and you know it. Not only are you telling a mistruth, you knowingly are telling a mistruth...which is a blatant LIE...which makes you a "(I don't remember what word you used to describe Trump, something like a purse for dirt)" does it not? You know for a fact that the economy, stock market, and job market was thriving under Trump. You know that the Democrats controlled the house, and proposed a budget that would hurt the economy, in which he shut down the government. Even after this fiasco brought on by Democrats, our economy flourished under his administration. Then Covid19 hit, and the blue states shut down the country. YOU KNOW THIS, but continue to blame Trump. You lie...blatantly. Again, what do we call these people that partake in disseminating misleading information. You coined it...that purse thing. Does the shoe fit? I bet it does. It is amazing that you try to put "MAGA people" into this little box for the soul purpose of allowing all negative attributes of anyone that will vote for Trump instead of Biden to be attributed. That is a sickening modus operandi of stupid people. It is hard for me to believe that you would adopt that childish stereotyping. But since you are willing, I'm willing to push back. I'm a Trump supporter. I will gladly vote for him over Biden. So get busy putting me in your silly little box of stereotypes so I can embarrass you some more. You've been shot down by practically everyone on this board when you say stuff like Trump is their Messiah, or that supporters overlook his flaws. Everyone on this board has stated that they don't agree with Trump on much of his behavior, but you ignore these statements and continue with your lies. Oh yeah, since I'm a Trump supporter, those comments were also directed directly at me. So let's go. Prove I'm a simpleton that will ignore all of Trump's flaws and vow to disown the bad ol' orangeman. Let's continue that diatribe you peddle. I now am interested in responding. I also have boxes I can place people in. Whose box is accurate? Better yet, whose box is more embarrassing? I'm fairly certain your box is more entertaining for the board to make fun of. TDS should be included in the DSM-6, or revise the DSM-5 to include it since this phenomenon is so pervasive now. You are a walking, talking picture of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Do you like that box? Can you refute the rationale for placing you in that box. Everyone can refute your rationale for placing them into your irrational box, while you languish in your TDS box.
    • Clinton got impeached because of it. David Pecker said it was true about Stormy today. Under oath.
    • Election interference. Cheating.
    • It’s not about worrying about Trump’s morality. It’s about him being held to a totally hypocritical standard that is applied to anybody else that’s not him. Double it if it happens to be a Democrat. What he did to Ted Cruz in 2016, for example. Accused him of extramarital affairs. Really? And the gang cheered the Master on. Sick is what it is.
