[/quote]I mean I know they taunted the stands, but is that not somewhat the same thing? I'm not saying that it wasn't tasteless and disrespectful but you have to admit that so was the singing. [/quote] If it was tasteless and disrespectful, then any other event that occurred doesnt change the fact that it was tasteless and disrepectful.  Wouldn't you agree?

Once again, changing the topic to avoid what this discussion is about. Can you not stick to the topic at hand? [/quote] I've decided to just concede the discussion until Nederland plays an opponent worth discussing... ::) ::)...Plus the fact that a KID who is ACTUALLY A PART OF THE PROGRAM, understands logic better than the adult fans...MINDBLOWING... 8) [/quote] Sorry Dicky but you are ( yes, I know how hard this is to believe) WRONG on this one.  When you are in the playoffs, EVERYONE is worth discussing.  One doesn't need a basketball pedigree to comprehend that.

I believe they would have to win 2 more games each and they would face off in Huntsville in the regional final.

[/quote] People FEAR what they don't UNDERSTAND... [/quote] That's a great "saying" but it doesn't really address my question.  You mentioned a couple of other teams that were dominant at one time or another.  Why didn't people have similar concerns/suspicions?  After all, there are other successful situations where, as you said, people feared and didnt understand.

Dickie- Why do you think this stuff is continually brought up about Yates and only Yates?

Dickie- if you truly believe what you just said, lets make the bet this (since you obviously can't lose)  You give me points equal to 70% of what Ozens last winning margin was over Nederland, and I bet $100 to your $20.

[quote name="captredass" post="1185546" timestamp="1330184917"] Coldspring will be ready due to the hype, but this could go either way. It all depends on Coldspring's guards. They have too many second half turn-overs and still unable to shoot the outside shot with confidence. Stafford was closer than it should of been, coach almost waited too long to sub some of the guards, Coldspring three big men kept them in the game with rebounds and defense. Coldspring by 6 points, if the referee's allows them to play. [/quote] I havent seen Coldspring play but am thinking that the more the refs "let em play" the more that favors Silsbee (unless Coldspring is more physical than Silsbee)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="1185532" timestamp="1330183063"] Question for Nash. Why are you so confident in a team that's not your Hawks especially since you have lost a bet previously in almost the same instance?  One would think that you would bet on YOUR team. [/quote] I can understand your line of reasoning.  Perhaps this might prove as an example.  If I had bet on Silsbee -Hj in the first game, I would have lost and you could have questioned me on why I was betting on HJ again especially since I had lost a bet in almost the same instance.  It would have worked out ok.  As for the real reason I am betting, it has little to do with the money and more to do with being able to discuss it with Dickie in the event I was victorious ;D(somebody has to try to keep him reined in)  Just remember, if you guys win, Soulja, you have to deliver winnings to Vitale after I pay you.

We have a considerable amount of experience with the Navasota folk.

ok- you are covered-  All we need to know is whether or not Soulja wants some easy $ also

Soulja- I will cover you for $20 also under one condition.  If I lose, I pay $40 to you and you deliver the $20 to Dicky so I don't have to face him.

Dicky- Here's your chance to take another $20 from me

This one makes me extremely nervous.  Hj has beaten Navasota every time  in these games.  Odds are working against HJ in that situation.

Congrats Ned Bulldogs- I appreciate you validating my contention that a large amount of intellect mixed in with a respectable amount of talent can go a long way.  Just remember, if you have to play the Houston Rockets, you're gonna get killed.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1185163" timestamp="1330136673"] Just ask Andy Martel.  He took a forearm to the head. [/quote] Andy Martel was blatantly assaulted.  Took a shot most football players don't experience.  The most rewarding part of it all is that he stood straight up immediately, much to the surprise of the cowardly offender.

Here's hoping the Jags wear the dunk-o-meter out!!
