People with stolen diplomas shouldn’t talk about what’s fair.

Eventually the $$$ will talk. They’ll get someone to bite, it would be interesting to see an actual list of candidates/finalists.

Talk to me

Enough of the Baytown vs, Barbers Hill talk. Keep it to the topic of Barbers Hill AD/HC open.

BH has no room to talk about home cooking. They ve been cooking since the 90s in all sense of the word.

LOL. I don't think Berneathy would be caught near this job. Talk about a non-fit. LP typically keeps their coaches. Only rare instances like TJ Mills & Tarr have been let go. Renfro left to take over his home school of Clear Springs. All others have retired from LP. Pretty secure job.

I think Barbers Hill fans should be the last to talk about officiating when they clearly robbed PNG a week ago. Officiating everywhere is not great especially when your on the receiving end of a call. Coaches and kids cant coach/play and ref , if everyone does their job you can put yourself in a good position to win.

Dems would ask a question, then talk over him while he tried to answer.

The man is 1-18 vs top 5 teams…4-20 vs top 10… he got out coached tonight. Penn state has a lot better roster than ND. He does not understand situational football, he can’t win a big game. SMU and Boise state was a very easy path to the semis… don’t get me started all that talk he did this week with ND needs to be in a conference and tried to little bro Marcus Freeman.

This is the problem, Poole at BH has a massive ego and typically gets what he wants when he wants it. Kids don't want to cut their hair, well that is not an issue because he can expel them with impunity because he has the absolute 100% support of the community, especially the old guard "we can, we will we're Barbers Hill" folks. Even with the media crawling all over the district on the issue, he continues to operate the way he always has because of that support. I actually like that aspect of this community. Poole very rarely misses when he swings, so that breeds the confidence to make controversial moves whenever they may arise. It may even play into the willingness to force out a damn good football coach simply because his son isn't playing as much as Poole would like. He's done this same thing at least 3 times before and each time it has worked out beautifully because the candidate he brought in after the previous was disposed of was considered a big enough fish make the community forget about the last guy. This actually may be the first time he has run up against a chance that it won't end up that way. Trust and believe, if he were to land a coach with the last name 'Dodge' this offseason, none of us would ever talk about this situation again. The only conversation would be that BH somehow hired Todd/Reily Dodge, and they were on a Rocketship to the moon. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out because if it ends with a relatively unknown coach who doesn't produce the football success those in town expect, it could go sideways for Poole. I guess we will all be sitting around with our popcorn to see if he can pull another rabbit out of his hat.

Rumor is that Brady is trying to talk Belichick into leaving NC to coach da Raiders. Thoughts?!

Exactly - Words don’t cost money. We can talk about it again in six months if people want to (RIP @purple eagle)

It’s a football forum. Let us talk football!

Tell me how y’all feel about Lcm next season

@Reagan - yikes You ought to know Trump better than that. If there was something there he would not have nominated him. Again — adults have entered the room! @LumRaiderFan - yikes Have there been any charges? Surely there must be a conviction by now. Seems you live in the world of guilty until proven innocent, unless it’s your democrats. Anyway, I’m enjoying watching the snowflakes melt. @thetragichippy - I guess 17 is age of consent in Florida? I wouldn’t know 🤔 So, DOJ investigated and dropped the case because there was not enough evidence........SO HE MUST BE GUILTY When they talk about two justice systems they are not lying. Innocent until proven guilty unless you are a republican....

Ok, I just DO NOT understand how all this works with open enrollment schools and transfer procedures/regulations for students participating in UIL Sports?? I’ve read through discussions on a few of the playoff game chats and there’s been a lot of talk PRAISING various Coaches for being good “recruiters” and using “the portal” to acquire some of the ATHLETES transferring from other schools?? Anyway, it just took me off guard because it wasn’t the typical…fans spreading rumors or making accusations chatter….came across as if it’s all totally LEGIT and PERMITTED just like College Football!! So, I’m REALLY confused because I didn’t think that stuff was allowed in High School…open enrollment or NOT??

Talk about an important drive coming up for Malakoff.

That sophomore WR for Columbus doesn’t get a lot of talk because of Rigdon and Schobel…but he is a monster…He is what beat Bellville earlier this year.. we couldn’t cover him

Did BISD ever increase the pay for their head football coaches and make them competitive to other schools their size? I know in years past the talk was the pay being low…

I didn't say all. I was speaking about SOC. North Shore is nothing like SOC. North Shore is a much better school district for education. SOC is factually one of the worst educational schools in Texas. One of the poorest schools in Texas. But hey, great football team with plenty of swag and gear. And talk about a dumb statement? Open up all schools to open enrollment? So kids in Texas will end up with what amounts to an 8th grade education when they do graduate? Yeah that makes sense.

According to our coaching staff that like to call out fans on X the reason Crosby is not successful for the past two years is because we are under resourced with too many expectations. Apparently winning seasons and beating 5a-d2 opponents that we have crushed previously and competing with the exact same schools we've been playing with for the last 5 years is too much and we give too little to the program. Coaching staffs note this is how you lose your fan base in a weekend this is the talk of the town, that next school board meeting is going to be lively. Cougars coaching staff

According to the tiebreaker system, looks like Memorial will still win Pool A unless they go by head to head. The rules talk about points but nothing about head to head. I am going to assume that's an unwritten rule and HF will win Pool A. If so, this is the schedule for Saturday: Gold Round Robin 10:30am Hamshire-Fannett vs. Silsbee 1:30pm Silsbee vs. Stafford 4:30pm Stafford vs. Hamshire-Fannett Silver Round Robin 9am PA Memorial vs. Humble 12pm Humble vs. Brazosport 3pm Brazosport vs. PA Memorial Bronze Round Robin 9am Eisenhower vs. Texas City (A) 12pm Texas City vs. Conroe (A) 3pm Conroe vs. Eisenhower (A)

That open enrollment talk was put to rest 2 years ago, the only ppl saying SOC has open enrollment and recruits are idiotic dumbasses. Yessir! I agree!

Man y'all need to stop with all of this foolishness, it was all good a year ago! I watched #4 in the first series on defense bumping into two SOC kids after the play making his presence known ( i get it nothing wrong with that). I saw PNG OL doing extra activity after plays. When PNG OL make pancake blocks, they lay on the kids as well and talk noise ( i get it nothing wrong with that). Thats what come to those kinds of games. "It gets chippy" as the announcers would say. Stop belittling SOC kids and coaches. Its always an excuse, like the SOC head coach said. What's your new excuse? Gloves? open enrollment? etc.? y'all are some sore losers on every level all the way down to flag football in y'all youth organizations. The post i've seen from PNG supporters is ridiculous and sad.

These football powerhouses are using open enrollment as a form of NIL in college. It’s done to get some of these kids out of unfortunate situations and to a better life. It is what it is. I’m not opposed to it whatsoever. Having said that, schools like PNG better seriously consider the benefits of adapting to this new trend in high school sports. Anyone who couldn’t see the talent gap from the opening kickoff is either naive or doesn’t know ball. Some of the kids PNG put on the field last night were severely overmatched. It’s no fault to them, it’s just facts. There will be some who say “well we won last year”. Last year was a coaching clinic. PNG could play that SOC team 10 times and lost 9 of them. Last season was a perfect storm. If PNG continues to be strict about transfers, that chip last season will be all we talk about for the next 50 years….because there likely won’t be another one. Out of the 8 schools in the 5a D2 quarterfinals, 7 are open enrollment….PNG is the outlier. Look at other predominantly white football powers (Austin Westlake, Southlake Carroll) also open enrollment. We’d also quickly move to D1 which means driving to Beaumont, PA, and Barbers hill opposed to Montgomery and Huntsville. I know why some of you would be opposed to open enrollment. I’m not from here, I’m from Nacogdoches. Our school was about as diverse as it gets. I see the honor, pride, and tradition. What I also see is an old school community unwilling to adapt to new culture. A community that stands solely behind the purple and white….heavy emphasis on the white.
