Is this game Friday or Saturday?  Thought I heard it was being played on Sat.  If so, does anyone know kickoff time? Thanks

Is the same percentage of administration staff being cut as teachers? I really don't know the ratio of administrators to teachers, but I believe, that if your district needs to reduce teachers by say 10%, then shouldn't administration be cut by the same amount? I know that administration is important, but are they as important as the teacher in the classroom?  I don't know....that's why I am asking.

[quote name="hitchpin" post="951273" timestamp="1295471003"] the old argument "if you don't like how they do it then suit up and do it yourself" is lame. i didn't sign up to nor accept pay (however poor it is) to do it, they did and they should do it fairly without emotion or bias. alot of officials do it for the love of the sport not the pay, kudos to those who do. i'd bet they're among the best. if we run out of officials, oh well. i'd be just as happy with the kids calling their own compared to some of the mess i've seen this year. i swear i think the kids would be fairer to each other than [u]some[/u] of the grown men calling. [/quote] Are you kidding me?  You never have done it, yet you are an expert.  You, without ever officiating a game can tell refs, that have gone thru at least some training, how it should be done?  As was posted earlier "man up", put on a shirt and experience it.  Then get on a board and read all the threads about how terrible you are at calling a game. ;D

[quote name="east texas bb" post="950982" timestamp="1295440317"] I wouldnt have a problem if they were held accountable and would call the game by the rules, I get so tired of officials allowing teams to ride or handcheck a player in the game for the entire game and also crashing the boards.  It has become where the players are rewarded for being faster and stronger, not rewarded for the skills the make the game the beauty that it is at times and should be always. [/quote] A coach once told me to play the game the way it is called.  Don't whine about it, just play the way the refs will let you play........I thought it was good advice, I stopped worrying so much about the officiating and concentrated more on my game.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="892802" timestamp="1288543557"] SETX refs suck the worst [/quote] These comments crack me up!  Have you ever tried to officiate a game?  If you are able to give such criticism,  then I would think that you should be able to call games.  Join TASO and increase the performance level that you say is so bad............I mean by looking at your screen name, you must suck at being Santa so why not become a ref and change it to Refssogood ;D

[/quote] It may have just been poor coaching/clock management, but from the stands what I saw was more troubling.  It looked to me like the coaches quit on the boys.  On both the 3rd and 4th down plays that ended Nederland's offensive night, there were potential pass interference penalties right along the Nederland sidelines.  I expected the Nederland coaches to be going nuts.  They weren't.  I'm sure they said something, but there was clearly no passion.  That, coupled with leaving the 3 TOs on the board, makes me concerned that the coaches gave up.  I hope that isn't what happened because the kids never gave up. [/quote] These forums crack me up.....on this board, fans are upset becuase they "expected the Nederland coaches to be going nuts" and over on the Barbers Hill board, they are complaining because the coaches were going nuts.  Its funny that on every board, when a team loses, it is always the coaches fault.  They should have passed more if they ran the ball, they should have run the ball more if they passed, it was the refs faults,etc, etc....  More times than not, the team with the best athletes wins (IMO).  Maybe this year, Vidor is just a little more athletic than Nederland (I don't know, because I have never seen either play).  But I think history proves the coaching ability of the Nederland staff.  I mean, I don't remember the last year that Nederland was not in the playoffs.

[quote name="NPC" post="851054" timestamp="1284902380"] Here is my opinion: I think we can relate the state of the world's economy to this particular sitiuation.  All the bailouts were needed because someone was [b]GIVEN[/b] something because it was politically correct. Athletes and parents in today's time expect the samething, equal time and treatment. Unfortunatley, when these mislead kids get into the real world they want the same treatment but mom and dad can't intervene.  Point in hand, school and athletics play a key role in training our children for their future and I am not talking just academics. Adversity, challanges, failures and discontent are things that build character but some parents do not want there children to experience these things.   What happen to the day where it was prideful to just to be a part of a the team, get a uniform and [b]HAVE A CHANCE TO PLAY.[/b]  Bottom line when your child goes to work for his first time and he is not getting enough hours, working in the wrong department, feeling as if they are not being treated the same as the others they have 2 options: quit are pull up the bootstraps and grind to be noticed.  If I am not mistaking this is what used to be refered to as climbing the ladder of success.  Too many want to jump from the bottom to the top but you miss all the important steps in between.  Enough said!!!. By the way NPC stands for Never Politically Correct. Excellent post NPC [/quote]

So.........let them play, only not in their "game" uniforms.......what is the big deal?

Wonder which version is the truth? Hard to say, but I would bet the coach's version is probably more accurate.  I believe the media would have named the coaches that were charged if there was anything to the story, plus, the anchor lost credibility with me when she indicated that one of the coaches had an outstanding arrest warrant.  Sensationalizing to make more of a story than is really there. 

[quote name="tigerguy" post="816097" timestamp="1278274327"] And I believe most of those schools are successful in basketball! Its hilarious that you are still whining about this! ;) ;) [/quote] [IMG][Hidden Content];

There are a lot of comments on this thread about all these schools that have "universal off-season" and players that have to "lift on game day".  So I would expect anyone that has made these claims to be able to provide the answers.  I am just curious as to which schools would make their players lift on game day.  If you are going to make the accusation, then back it up is all I am saying.
