Long time listener first time caller a couple things here on warm ups 1. You are allowed 21 match games and 3 tournaments (can also do 23 games and 2 tournaments and a few other combinations but no one does that), how many games you play in a tournament doesn't change anything. You can play 6 or you can play 3 and it still counts as a tournament. Jamborees or showcases or whatever you want to call them count as one of your 21 games. The UIL changed this to 21/2 or 19/3 about ten years ago and then changed it back after a year or two due to coaches not being happy at all with the change. Not even sure what the original reasoning was for the change to be honest. 2. The warm-up era was huge when the UIL switched from allowing 2 teams to 3 teams to make the playoffs in the late 90's I think it was. At that point in time (most of the 00's) if you won district you had a first round bye which meant not playing for a week and a half and that was felt to be too long by most coaches, so that is when you saw the warm-up game really take off. Once the UIL allowed 4 teams to make it now there is only a week between games and you started to see less and less warm up games. I also think the mandatory UIL one game suspension for an ejection has played into this as well. Now not only are you risking injury with only a week between games you are also risking the potential of having a first round suspension due to an ejection, so that plays a small role as well. In my opinion (just one coach others may feel totally different), the only real value in warm up games now are like what you see with Coach Sutherland at EC and as mentioned above is you lose so many games to the football team making the playoffs and you have an opportunity to make one up because you didn't even get close to your game limit. Also, if you are a massive powerhouse like Silsbee and you more or less ran through your district without any close games at all like they did several times in the last decade, you don't want to go into the playoffs without having played a close game in a month and a half, so going and playing high level competition in a warm-up game adds value. Also think that if the UIL flips to what they did with volleyball ( and rumor is it is probably going to happen) and the regular season ends on Friday and the first round of the playoffs starts on Thursday/Friday the following week, which would leave Monday/Tuesday as your warm up game options, in my opinion the warm-up game is completely dead at that point.

Brookeland 58 #6 Moulton 43 Final Brookeland has advanced to the Regional final for the second year in a row

You can try that nonsense with someone else, I voted for the turd 3 times but will be critical of him if he’s not following through on his promises. You’re a cult member not a supporter. You need to layoff the orange dust.

Looking forward to Warren beating Newton this year when they get a good coach.

Russia Hoax was a perfect example of a crooked DOJ and no one has been arrested for it even with proof. We can’t run a country with a sitting President (Obama) spying on an incoming president and manufacturing nonsense against the incoming administration in order to destroy them. That’s just one example of many.

Including you? You have made some yourself.

The district put out a survey that was pretty detailed about what people want in a HC/AD along with strengths and weaknesses of the athletic program. It's nice that they're listening for once. Anyway, they're closing that survey on March 1st. I would say that they're very early in the process.

Silsbee beat 6A top 10 Summer Creek 3-2 today in tournament play. The girls are very young and are off to a hot start. Freshmen starting at short, 3rd, and RF. 16 + home runs already and the defense is improving. Let’s keep it going.

BC-66 Palestine-54 Bush had 37. BC couldn’t get any shots to fall but pulled away to about 23 late in the fourth quarter.

Everything you says is true. Imagine that. They create an Act to protect themselves from legal opposition, even if they are in the wrong, and most are. Most are lawyers themselves anyway. They implemented no term limits. They provide themselves with elite health insurance, different from the American public while regulating our health insurance. They vote to shut down our government, halting services and pay for our government employees, except for their pay. They never miss a payday. The list goes on of their preferential self-serving treatment. No sympathy here.

not going to lie, I was more curious to hear from his supporters, who're being surprisingly quiet right now.

Was just informed by a very credible insider that Toby is very interested in Jasper and look for him to apply.

I can't wait for coach Iggy Azalea to come back and tell us all about his illustrious coaching career and how much smarter he is than all of us.

True dat!

We’ll no doubt the Epstein Administration is holding strong.

Think he applied there once before. Here too and we know how they both turned out. Now that the world has seen the results of the most talked about coaching hire SETXsports history. Maybe a former coordinator of a big rival would work for Jasper. Shoemaker was a 4th place finisher in 6A but just dropped to 5Ad1 in a tough district with the College Station and Pflugerville teams. I've also seen some prospect rankings that included some of his players. Not sure if he'd be interested at this point.

Yep. Jimmies and Joes.

Man! Where the heck are y’all buying groceries? KROGER: Choice Boneless Beef Brisket Untrimmed Whole in Bag (Limit 1 at Sale Price) $3.99/lb. I never pay full price even before inflation. Pork Butt was $.99/lb. last week. I’m smoking it tomorrow, vacuum packing what we don’t eat for stuffed spuds, brisket enchiladas, & barbacoa tacos. We gat about 4 different meals for about $12.00 total for the main course. 😀

This Epstein thread really reminds me of the climate issue democrats are so passionate about. 1950's - Greenhouse effect 1980's - Global Warming 2000's - Climate Change The Epstein Files - Initially - This is the end of trump, we got him now. -After first release - They have redacted names to protect Trump - He's in there somewhere -After Latest release - He's covering for his friends.....

I agree with that to a point. As I’ve preached my opinion on here many times, it’s a combination of coaches, kids & community support. Really gotta have all 3 if you want continued success. You gotta have a good horse and not a mule for sure. But you also have to have a good jockey/trainer and an owner who’s willing to spend the money it takes. Since we’re doing the Kentucky Derby thing.

What's that quote from future HOF and state champion coach Cornell Thompson once said? "You can't win the Kentucky Derby with a mule". I'll take a multiple state champion coach's word on the subject over anyone else. Now, back to Jasper being open.

Remember my bee and fly epigram? It applies here.

yeah …..the border doesn’t bother you till you lose your job to an illegal or your daughter is raped and murder by an illegal. I will say Trump has done an excellent job on the border.

These are the teams I am picking to win in our 19 2nd round games: Atascocita over FB Elkins North Shore over Pearland Humble over Dawson West Brook over Kingwood Park Baytown Sterling over Crosby Beaumont United over Lake Creek Livingston over Bullard Huntington over Trinity Orangefield over Hitchcock Buna over New Waverly Onalaska over Central Heights San Augustine over Overton Chireno over Douglass Big Sandy over Granger Brookeland over Lometa I got 15 of our teams moving on to 3rd round. I have Summer Creek, Crosby, Kingwood Park, Bridge City, Silsbee, Trinity, New Waverly, Central Heights and Sabine Pass ending their seasons.

Nope, this is what America sees. [Hidden Content]

Makes 24 consecutive years for Silsbee to advance to 2nd round.

Trump doing a great job of making the democrats own their policy all while pointing out how damaging and dangerous they are to this country.

spoiler - YOU are the cult follower

This is a post I made on the Silsbee thread. I'll repeat it here. I'll bet BC people would agree...... Here's what needs to happen. A double header. Silsbee and Yates in the first game and BC and Washington in the second game. And I'd like to see it played on this side of Buc-ees for a change.

Brookeland 67 Broaddus 56 Final

I hear he led the Mardi Gras parade this year and he’s had like 3 surgeries since his Sotu appearance.

"Well....Bye" - Curly Bill

Not a good look for Gavin...... But at the same time, if they still vote for him, maybe he is right..... Biden got majority of the black vote, and said if you don't vote for me, you ain't black..... Hillary claimed she kept hot sauce in her purse....... I guess, sometimes the truth is not a good look.

So does Trump get credit for the Dow being less than 44,000 on Inauguration Day to where it is now? Or are you simply a hypocritical hack that only chimes in when the market drops? And you’re one of the financial geniuses that claimed Trump was going to destroy the markets a year ago.

Provide something besides X to back this

Once again, all comments in this particular thread discussing if it's the kids or the coach will get deleted. Take those comments to the Elite Coach thread.

Here are the coverage area teams I see advancing out of their respective regions: 5A D1 Region III Beaumont West Brook 5A D2 Region III Beaumont United 3A D1 Region III Orangefield 3A D2 Region III Onalaska 2A D1 Region III San Augustine 1A D1 Region IV Brookeland I would have Atascocita winning 6A D1 Region III if it weren't for Katy Seven Lakes.

Reviving this one so we can help out some of the other coaching threads to stay on topic.

You guys remember when Trumps DOJ said the Epstein assassination footage got “accidentally” deleted? And then turns out.. they had the footage after all?? But whoops, there was a lapse in the footage when Epstein was assassinated, because the “system resets every night” Trump administration, behind closed doors, laughing at how absolutely gullible their supporters are. They fall for this crap over and over and over

Great win for USA Hockey not for Blowhard Patel.

I have said it will be very difficult to get convictions. However, a large part of that is because of the heavily redacted documents. Why so many reductions if people aren’t being protected? Our justice department is not doing their job, simply acting as directed by Trump.

The hypocrisy of the left never ceases to amaze….. [Hidden Content]

Silsbee assistant coach Ira Brooks will be coaching his last home game tomorrow night. Coach Brooks will be retiring at the end of this season. Coach Brooks has been coaching at Silsbee for 32 years. He has been a mainstay and key component to the success of the Tiger Basketball program. His JV teams have always been successful and have won many district championships even when several freshmen and sophomores were playing varsity. Coach Brooks has earned the respect and love from many coaches in our area. He has been a fantastic coach but an even better man. He will be missed. Congrats to my friend Ira.

Talked to Crum at length at the DFW Clinic about the possibility of going to Travis and then last night on the phone....obviously the family dynamic played a big role in his decision....I know that Jasper returns 16 starters...they played 13 sophs and 5 freshman on varsity last year... I think Bronson is the internal candidate if he wants the job and the vibe I got is he does want the job

In the name of Love.

Been sitting on this info for over a week now. Good luck to Coach Crumedy. I have heard that Malcom Bronson will get serious consideration for this job.

A bee doesn’t waste it’s time trying to convince a fly that honey is better than crap. 🙂 Some folks minds aren’t worth the effort trying to change.
