So Dr. Patterson is an amazing person no question about it. Having worked with her as a teacher of her child she was always really positively involved. From what my contacts (former colleagues) in the building can tell me that nearly all of her mistakes that are being viewed are about athletics. Every school in the entire district has been measurably better under her leadership. She has taken several schools that had rating issues such as the middle school and Barrett Primary and pushed them into well rated academic schools. The education in Crosby has literally never been better than it is today. Within a school district with 50% free and reduced lunches you have a thriving academic environment. Football coach hire was a failure under her leadership and those ultimately fall to the Supers feet in these sort of districts. The truth is firing the coach and hiring a new one is much more palatable then firing a Super, especially one with a lot of community support and who has measurable achievements. Not privy on the baseball coach situation but I'll take your word on it. Four day work week is in year one that'd be like measuring success for your child at the two week mark and saying your kids an A student. 85 Million Bond is about growth, and getting buildings up and running before every building is beyond capacity. It won't be the last bond because the area is exploding with growth. I wouldn't be surprised if the two high school talk starts again. Too many people forget what a Superintendents job is. It has nothing to do with the football team or baseball team and if that's all your going to look at with a district then you need to get your priorities straightened out. As someone who has three nieces and nephews in the district I could care less if the entire athletics program imploded if it meant my family gets a better education. I'm about as hard core a Crosby football fan as there is but priorities are waaaaay off on this post.

Agree 100% we dont need a PA announcer yelling FUMBLE while the play is going...talk about inserting yourself into the game....

Hey band wagon, there are ups and down at all setx schools. You also will soon talk about remember23season. Fun to talk trash when your on top. Support those HS kids no matter what. Coaches did great planning tonight also.

In all fairness, playing the game does give an advantage in some instances, but it's not the end all be all. Go all the way back to Howard Cosell, Bob Costas, all the female sportscasters. None of them necessarily played, but they sure get paid a lot of money to talk about it knowledgeably. I'm sure you're a great guy and an even better coach, but as far as being likable, you're not. And I'm trying to be nice. I'm glad that you're financially secure, and your family is very proud of you. But save it for them please. On that note: PNG is not what I would consider an Elite team, but they're not trash either as you insinuate. They beat a highly ranked, highly successful program in FBM. A proud moment if you're an Indian fan. I'm not necessarily and Indian fan, but I do support all SETX teams & SETX Sports. Do I think PNG is ready for a finals repeat? No. But they're definitely a decent team. And if you're using being "qualified" to be able to speak about high school football on a local forum, then you shouldn't even be able to post on here. This board is comprised of folks from every walk of life that enjoy discussion and some ribbing. You know, social discourse. If you don't know what that means, it's defined as a form of communication that has a social purpose or distinctive social aspect. Well sir, from the looks of things, you're not qualified to speak socially. It seems as your only reason for getting on here is to bash PNG and talk about how great you are. Well, hell, you can do that by yourself in front of a mirror, because that's the only person who really cares. Now, go on over to the Political Forum and get you a dose of all of us screw balls over there. You can complain, and gripe and name call and anything else you wanna do, and you'll fit right in.

I don't have grandkids but you do sound like my parents when they talk about my sisters kiddos. Tia's always hits the spot!... Can't talk about food this early in the morning. I'll never make it to lunch lol

Sounds like a heck of a job by Hardin to use the clock that way. I was shocked as well that Anahuac only put up 13pts. They got what I believe , at least for now, will be the district championship game this week between Orangefield and Anahuac. I know last year there was a bunch of talk on this game between the bobcats and panthers, and the bobcats won. Be interesting to see how it unfolds in Orangefield this Friday night. Although a win by the bobcats against Buna was expected, it did show they understand how to win games in this district. I’ve heard some great things about Anahuac this year. They will need more than 13pts this week as the bobcats aren’t Hardin. Looking forward to seeing the outcome.

Man, talk about busting some chops!!!! Could you come up with some new material? I’ve heard crap like this all my life, so I’m pretty immune. Lmao Go check on lsu since you hate the pros so much. They should have dropped a spot with that last one.

"Sent them packing from the playoffs"... Dallas is usually sent packing 🤣 unless you wanna talk about when the dinosaurs roamed the earth because that was the last time Dallas was relevant.

Really bad coaching at the end of that game and Clemson. Funny the talk once was can Bama lure Dabo away when St Nick retires. Now it would no doubt be a hard pass for Bama. Things sure can change rapidly.

Out of the country and just thought the score was backwards but I guess not. Congratulations Kirbyvillle. I’m not sure what happened but EC needs to figure it out!!!! All the talk about coaches needs to look at past history and give them a break. Put your crystal ball up.

Crazy part is I never once used me coaching in an argument (y’all actually bring it up) & quite frankly I don’t have to cause I KNOW y’all don’t know sh*t! 😂😂 Y’all sit on here & talk about stuff y’all have no clue about everyday then tell someone who actually spent a third of his life around the game from playing & coaching that he don’t know what he talking about…it’s laughable & I get a kick out of making y’all look stupid. So let me get this straight Rez a guy who’s never played this game or coached it telling me my arguments are dumb when you’re literally on are sports forum talking about a sport you have no clue about outside of being a casual fan…makes a lot of since in your brain I’m sure.

Don’t play that - You directly mentioned PNG when you tried to take credit for victory away from them. And, it’s time to put up or shut up about your illustrious coaching experience - You keep hinting at it without specificity. What school? What coach? What years? Why, with your vast knowledge, did the school allow you to leave without bags of gold and a coaching contract? The fact you remain intentionally vague after weeks of crowing tells us either (1) you’re lying, (2) you’re embarrassed by the level of your true coaching experience, or (3) you’re an alien who kidnapped a real human and is trying to learn how football people talk. I think it’s the second one. Regardless, it doesn’t for one second matter who, where, or what you coached, no matter how many times you appeal to your own authority. I don’t care if you’re the flesh-in-blood Bill Belichik with Nick Saban looking over your shoulder. It does nothing to cure how incredibly weak your arguments are.

Pretty sure it wasn't that bad.... Hard not to talk about the referees When there was 20+ penalties and 75% were personal fouls. Thank you for the feedback.

That's smack talk? Saying we gonna show up and try? Lol you're cute.

Claiming “will we show up and punch em in the mouth again?” is smack talk. All y’all punched was a bus ticket home.Nite nite young man.

Talk smack about what? That we'd come and try? Did we not? Go to bed. Never ever said we'd win last year or this year.

Won’t need any. Just learn if you talk smack, be prepared to get it back.

You make valid points. The problem is some of the same people who oversee the decision-making process within the district are the problem. I know that the head coach at WOS appears to be a friend of yours, personally I don’t know him. I knew the previous coaches at the school, and many in the community knew them too. I’m not sure how the decision was made to hire any coaches within WOS, but many were not happy about it. (They have the right to be like it or not). When people are asked to approve bond money, and pay taxes, they should have a say in what their tax dollars are paying for. Many people who have made comments about WOS business really have no idea of what needs to be done to fix the situation in my beloved hometown. They just make jabs because WOS is 90% African American. The educational issues at WOS can only be dissected by the people who live there, not by outsiders. My niece finished at WOS in May will be 2 years, she got a partial scholarship to go to UT, hook em horns! She finished #5 in her class; she is still making A’s and will be a junior this coming December. There are others doing the dang thing at other D1 universities too. Part of the solution IMO to help cure most socially disadvantaged situations, in all of Orange is to re-build the community, talk and listen to the people who live there. Maybe then they will not be so openly upset about the hiring process of coaches. (GET)business opportunities, more jobs, just invest in the people who live in Orange.

Not you too!!!. You know at all school there are under achiever yet you guys never talk about that SMH. Let's see this is a football thread and maybe that is why his answers are related to football. Talking badly about the kids at WOS educational scores is and I quote "Good Christ this is getting old..." 😉 "

This game and score will be the talk at breakfast tables around the country in the morning.

All right folks the crap talk is over. Just pulled up to the stadium. Hope both teams play well and leave tonight injury free and a dislike for each other to keep this Rivalry hot😎Let’s go Eagles

Apparently Nederland isnt too confident, dont be coming on here after the fact to talk. Call your shot now Bulldog fans

The thing is we beat them 2 yrs back. Haven’t Beat WOS in 30 years. Lol. I hope WOS can win 6 this year. Big change from couple yrs ago. I guess WOS can talk about the good ole days.

All replies I’ve read are heresay. Talk to the man and get back with me.

Real talk
