Grass... lol As a former band member I always preferred Turf. But the old astroturf was like walking on concrete. Don't know how the athletes avoided injuries. Marching in the mud so many times here in SETX. Lost a shoe once but never missed a step.

That wouldn’t be bad. At least being able to practice when it’s raining would help tremendously.

Keep digging... Vidor is not on here year after year looking for praise and rankings. Crosby supports on the other hand need to hear and feel the love. I'll make it better. Can almost hear the tears falling from your face.... Crosby is sooooo GOOD! They deserve to be champions! Crosby is #1!!!!

If that are the case, EVERY NFL team would have natural grass. They would spend the money on the grass to protect their million dollar investments in players. Money talks…

It would have been a better game.bcz,when he was in there they didn't stop him. Til he got hurt.

I love it, definitely can get used to this. 😎

Then why did Vidor change the field to turf?

Oh good grief, I forgot Climate Change. We’ve never had heat waves before. Never. Oh wait….. in 1913 hottest temps that was ever recorded was 134. 1913? Before all these durn cars took over? No way. Yep, we’re in a heat wave. Ain’t the first & won’t be the last. No folks, the skies not falling, just the gullible are falling for the Climate Change 🐂💩. Yes it’s changing, but man has little to do with it, and can do little to change it.

Has to be a monster truck.... only type of vehicle that could carry those big muscles

Now you’ve gotten into how much you bench press! WTH! 😂 Let me guess ….. you drive a Monster Truck too? 😂

great guy by all accounts [Hidden Content]

Back in the 90s…Nederland had some long grass lol

Leave it to Crosby to make a thread all about them. But yes back to turf and grass.

Not sure why the laughing emoticon, it wasn't funny.

The comparison of high schools having grass fields to professional teams having grass fields is beyond absurd. Pro teams have seemingly limitless money needed to maintain said field. And.. nobody uses the field except the team on game day. Do pro teams practice on the game field? No. High schools don’t have that luxury. I prefer a PROPERLY MAINTAINED grass field over turf, but SeTx schools can’t do that. Between weather and money (lack of) turf is the way to go down here. Or.. keep your, “It was good enough for grandpa so it’s good enough now” mentality and keep losing to out of area teams that can actually practice the day after a storm. No skin off my back.

I love a grass field. The smell, the feel, getting dirty in the trenches… I just love it.

It’s always someone else’s fault. We get it.

Ahhh now the truth comes out... crosby's Qb was scared of contact from a much smaller, less athletic Vidor DB.

Yep with 2 of our top RB backs out. What a awesome feat! Lol

lol, or a push mower.

Thats their mascot. The drawing of a bear was the hiccup.

A well maintained grass field is preferred but thats often not realistic at the HS level....so unless you can be like Alice and have professionally maintained grass, turf is more practical especially when you factor in the wear and tear of junior high and sub-varsity games added in....I've seen some awful grass fields across our state because schools cant afford properly maintain them

Damn right I'm SETX! Almost got me figured out except for.... Never been much of a drinker except for the occasional margarita at a restaurant or a bourbon at the ranch, married with 1 daughter, and from time to time I will push mow my yard for a little extra exercise (I'm not afraid of the grass). Hope you don't make your living profiling people.

Did someone draw a giant penis on their field again?

As far as high school sports go where the turf fields, generally speaking, are not the same quality and cost of an NFL field, there are more injuries on turf than on grass. I can quote numerous studies if necessary. It’s not just the field, but the correct type of turf shoes vs regular cleats that most high schools use. The caliber of helmets and knee braces and other PPE make a difference too. That’s not necessarily why I prefer grass, but it is a fact.

I feel like this tweet is pretty concrete...just saying

That seems to be a trait of most of our SETX talent. My son went to school with Tracy Byrd (I graduated with his mom) and he graduated with Clay Walker. Both good kids who seem to remember their roots.

If there is an active criminal investigation I can see the requested information probably about a particular person. Just a general fishing expedition where they are searching everyone’s records in several counties, I can’t figure what lawful right they have or what federal law says that they can go into other law-enforcement records without consent. Maybe there is such a law but I have never heard of it. I have had an FBI agent in my office wanting information on a particular suspect. I was more than happy to give them that information. I did not know I would be in trouble if the agent simply said, step out of the way because I feel like digging through your files.

I actually spoke to Jimmy Johnson privately one time for a few minutes. It helped being in police uniform. Jimmy was at an event at the Holiday Inn in Port Arthur and I ran into him. He was more than happy to talk and have a conversation.

Need more of this in sports and the world in general…. [Hidden Content]

I was at that Angleton game, stadium was damn near quiet the rest of the night.

Those who stripe fields on Wednesday nights after practice, prefer turf.

We're actually working on our collective as we speak. So far we've secured the grass farms and tire shops in town. We have a meeting with our local crawfish vendors next week which we're expecting to really be a game-changer.

Update on HJ turf! Field House is almost complete. Track still in the works. Auditorium finishing up as well. Middle school has most of its steel up and 1/3 of the block up.

Still on schedule, tight as it may be. Almost over the hump where rain will not be a big factor.

The new layout reminds me of the Beaumont Drillers meets southeasttexas.com

Nice layout. Just wish no ad popups.

I guess I'm in the minority? I liked the uniqueness and colors of the old format. This feels very "big box" like our board has fallen in line with other around the state. I'm sure it's for the best though.

Was definitely past due--still working on some other new features

I don’t care what anyone says… yalls RB doesn’t get hurt vs China Spring and y’all very well could’ve beat them.

Yes he can. After taking over the offense, he showed so much improvement thru the season. He definitely wasn't the same by the end. He got the ball out against eventual state champion China Spring. Just too many drops. Timing with WRs will be key to keep from being too one dimensional. We can't compete at that level if we lose our all time leading rusher like last year. Shaw and Mallet aren't Gales, at least not yet. Mallet, only a Sophomore, has the potential to break records.

I said before I thought it was a good year last year, for sure the way the first month and half went for the DAWGS. A magical run to game 16 is always nice to ponder. But realistically I think we will at least go 2 rounds again. Of course beyond that is even better. GO DAWGS!!

We've won outright or were co-champs 6 of the last 8 years in district play so we're kind of used to it by now. #6 is pretty stiff given the move up in class and the smallest enrollment but I think it would be more than deserved if we can start the season 2-0. I would imagine 1-5 are: 1. Denton Ryan 2. Longview 3. College Station 4. Manvel 5. Aledo

Thought it was 35 returning starters? I gotta get on the horn with my Mid-County connect again.

In the 5 years prior to last season FBM made it all 5 regional finals and played in two state title games. Their bad year last year they went 10-1. They got their reputation by doing stuff like beating Manvel by 30 in a regional final and beating our district champ 49-0 in a third round game. They usually have the most talent of any 5A school in the area outside of Manvel to go with one of the top 10 coaches in the area. Teams can have off nights but their reputation is very well deserved.

Just saw this. Bad enough they’re insane, but they impose their insanity on us. What a fubar. [Hidden Content]
