I'll tell you like this.  You were at that game, too, obviously.  And I distinctly remember that your boys didn't like getting hit.  A lot of the WOS fans were complaining about our boys hitting too hard.  And also remember how those WOS kids couldn't tackle to save their lives.  I remember when our RB hurdled one of your DBs on the way to another touchdown... The photo was on KOGT.  It looked like that DB hadn't tried to tackle too many people.  And honestly, after taking a year off from competitive football to play a little Pop Warner, I shouldn't have been surprised by how bad y'all looked.  Besides, we took our starters out at the half.  This year we're running it up. 

Playing good competition makes you better... It's nice to have cross-town rivals as tough as you guys.  Seems like it was fourth and goal in the Mustang red zone with under a minute left as were were trying to score and take the lead last year.  We didn't convert, and your streak remains intact.  You see, that's the good thing about our rivalry.  We have nothing to lose.  You're the ones that one day will have to watch a bunch of people dressed in red celebrating like they just won the Olympics. There will be kids in blue with their bottom lips stuck out.... clipboards will be thrown around on the Mustang sideline.... Somebody's going to dump the gatorade on Coach Stump...  We're all going to want our picture taken with your mascot, etc.... You see, late on the night of November 2, it really won't matter if WOS gets another W.  But if BC gets the win, you guys will be the chumps that let those kids from BC take one from you.  I'm ready..... Are y'all?

November 2nd. 

I was just asking if WOS was fielding a Pop Warner team or playing STJFL with a group of senior kids this year.  Sheesh.  No need to go all factual on me.  We were sad that our kids didn't get a chance to play y'all in the STJFL in 2010, because we lost a tough game in the semis to y'all in 2009, and it looked like 2010 was going to be our year.  Then y'all left the league to play what we thought was a soft competition in Pop Warner.  My beliefs were confirmed when this report came out and indicates, like I thought, that Pop Warner is for sissy boys.  Combine that with the fact that we went in to your house and put our feet up on your coffee table last fall, and I keep coming back to one thought... Who besides me is excited about some 8th grade WOS/BC football? 

[quote name="texaggies07" post="1230868" timestamp="1339858820"] The Trojans should be very good again this as Coach Barbay does a tremendous job and the offseason program is probably one of the best in the State.  We are deserving of the ranking at this point, but it is based off of last season.  We will see how good we are early on as we face two of those top five teams and two in class 4A.  [b]I would love to see a matchup between Coldspring and WO-S in the playoffs again it should be another great matchup as I'm assured they are much improved and very strong again this year[/b].  Should be a great year in 3A.  I think the field is wide open. [/quote] That'll happen in the first round, if y'all manage to win your district.  Because WOS is coming in 2nd to BC this year, baby!  B-I-G.... R-E-D... Biiiiiiiiiig Red! 

The bottom line is this.  We were the STJFL Senior Super Bowl Champions in 2010, and y'all were sub sectional regional semi-finalists in division 2 of the Eastern half of Pop Warner Youth Football in the Southeastern Division of the Eastern United States.  And then y'all came in second in your district in 7th grade football in 2011 to who?  The Cards. So.... are y'all going to play in Pop Warner or the STJFL this year?  It was either too hard over here or too hard over there.  Which was it?

[quote name="Gucci" post="1231299" timestamp="1340056175"] What is BC record vs Wos on the High School level?? [/quote] Belongs in High School Football Forum.  Lol. I'm just talking about how a group of WOS seniors fled BC and the STJFL in 2010 to play some agressive two-below in Pop Warner. 

This is the year where we find out if BC has been winning based on a few athletes or the system.  I'm hoping that this year will be the one that solidifies BC as a consistent top performer in 21-3A. 

Two years ago, WOS formed a team of senior-aged kids to play Pop Warner instead of STJFL.  They wanted "to be able to advance further than just this area."  Now my suspicions are confirmed... They were looking for a place to where tackling is frowned upon.  The dregs of each city can form up as a Pop Warner team and prance about the gridiron on Saturdays when cartoons are over.  The truf is out.  WOS was scared of BC's senior team in 2010.  I said it then, and I repeat it now.  We chased them out of the STJFL and then took our championship.  Not convinced?  The same age group went at again last year in seventh grade.  Result?  BC hasn't lost a game in two years. Who's fired up about some eight grade BC-WOS in 2012 besides me?

I think he's talking about how WOS will be booby-blocking with the rest of Pop Warner this year.  I'm wondering how many more kids will get hurt because of poor conditioning and limited hitting, other than on game days.... [Hidden Content] Also, Yoda was around "a long time ago, in a a galaxy far, far way."  Correct yo self.

STJFL= Scared of Titans Junior Football League There.  I said it. 

You know, I'd written another long-winded response to the racial issue, but I think I'll let it slide.  Good luck, Titans.

BigTitan, This isn't the time or place for a discussion on race, but since we're here.... It's comical for sensible people to watch our black friends try to defend their ruffled feathers over the "n-word" when you've probably got a hundred songs on your iPod that use that "horrible, offensive" word.  If black people really found that word offensive, we wouldn't know who Kanye West is.  Period.  The fact that y'all get so offended if a seven-year old white kid drops that bomb is amazing, considering that YOUR race worships guys who drop it all of the time.  In fact, I'd dare say that you, BigTitan, in all probability use it when you're in the company of your black friends. The real racists aren't seven year olds that use words like that or queer or whatever.  The real racists are grown-ups that look for the slightest possibility that race might be the major driving force behind all of the issues in life that are found to be unfavorable.  Whether it's white folks moaning about blacks on welfare or black folks moaning about whites keeping em' down. I think you cleared up how you feel, and how I've always suspected a lot of folks feel, when you said "[b]but hearing some stories that were told to me, CERTAIN people would have REASON to Hate another.[/b] 

I really felt for the Father who had to explain to his kid what those racist young white kids meant when they were dropping N bombs out there.  It made me think back to the time that I had to explain the N word to my kid....  "Look, Mike jr..... It's a horrible word used by some people to call a black person that points out centuries of unjust treatment and enslavement.  It's also a word used by rap artists to sell m-m-m-millions of  CDs, but that's different."  There's two different sets of rules, ain't there, One4all? I'm way off track, so forgive me.  Later.

....or maybe you don't understand the difference between 1.  Drafting through a pool of kids and forming three (hopefully competive) teams from one metro area. 2.  Having all of the kids from the same area come together, tryout, then selecting the best thirty or so kids to play on a single team and sending everybody else home.  It's funny that the PA League chose not to let a bunch of their own kids play, and is now crying that their "chosen few" aren't allowed to play, either. 

There's a HUGE difference...... One city might have three teams like PNG, where you might have a coach's kid or two that are automatically going on a team, plus drafting through the rest of the kids taking the good along with the bad.  Some teams will end up with a game changer or two, other teams will have suspect coaching.... the teams' records will be varied. That's COMPLETELY different than having tryouts with God only knows how many kids are available, then selecting only the cream of the crop to represent your metropolitan area.  I mean, if you want to play select-style ball, then cherry-pick a team play select ball with a league of your choosing. PA asked to join the STJFL, ignored the rules that were in place long before they asked to be included, and now want to act butt-hurt that they aren't being included going forward.  It doesn't have anything to do with PA's kids or the way that they play, for that matter.  It's all about the PA board's unwillingness to follow league rules and guidelines. Good luck in whatever league you choose to play in next year.

I think all of the posts from Titan Fan about the whole league being "scared of the talent" and "racially motivated" (my paraphrasing, btw) are laughable.  We watched the STJFL Titans (not just one team, but several), and while they were successful, I don't think ANYBODY was scared of playing them.  In fact, the only people that I saw scared were the PA folks watching their Senior team play BC when their QB got the wood laid on him by Justyn Romero.  Close game, considering we took every kid that wanted to play from little ol' 6k population BC and hung with the hand-selected "best" from 48k population PA.... That was also the only day we saw the police at an STJFL game... One of the PA fans got ejected for cursing a ref, then refused to leave.  The police had to escort him.  Seems like he didn't understand the concept of "rules" either.  And as far as the local 4a schools being scared to play the Titans... We're not scared of the game, we're just scared to walk back to the car at your stadium after the game.  Right, WB?

It amazes me that anything I say gets edited, but calling people queers is okay, as long as it's not mikelbene that's doing it..... I wish I was a mod so that I could bully people from my pc.... Loser.

"let's go [b]Beach[/b]" Oh.  That's not what I thought you were yelling.....

Do y'all remember when all of the Nederland and PNG honks were moaning and groaning about having to drive ALL THE WAY UP THERE to Livingston to play when the visitors' stands only hold 142 people and they don't even have a parking lot?  How did that final score look on your big, new, shiny, 1 m-m-m-MILLION dollar scoreboard, Indians? I think that Livingston OWNS the right to be called the winner of Mid-County Madness for 2010!  Go Lions!

Um.... how can I say this without ruffling any feathers.... WOS got exposed by Lumberton last weekend.   If anyone can help me find a way to state that fact in a manner that won't offend anyone from WOS, I'd appreciate it.  

Boo hoo. ***** this post will be deleted in three.....two.....one........***********
