82 5A State Champs

[quote name="SFA85" post="791584" timestamp="1271532885"] Ahhhh what short memories CBT haters seem to have.  I remember BISD being all over Ch. 6 news every Thursday night back in the early 90's with cars lined up all around the building with people voicing their concerns and anger over attendance zones, etc.  [b]Back then the crybabies from the West End was wanting 'neighborhood schools'. [/b]  CBT came in and not only had a sound attendance plan(the elementaries were back to K-5 before or right when he got here), but simplified the middle and high school zones and unloaded West Brook by creating Ozen.  Now the whining is over South Park which the majority of the crybabies don't even live there anymore plus how the and the pace of the schools are being built.  Well, I'm in favor of CBT's name being on the stadium complex.  All outsiders should hush and worry about their own and all West End crybabies should either vote their reps on the school board out or move..... [/quote]What??? Are you serious? Thats not the way I remember it. If I'm not mistaken, it was the folks in the Pear-Orchard neighborhoods that we're screaming "we want neighborhood schools back"....and low and behold, Thomas gives them Ozen. These were the same folks screaming for de-segregation in the early 80's claiming "we want the same education the white kids are getting"....and what happened? The segregated Forest Park and Hebert and got West Brook. You cant make everybody happy all the time. To set your facts straight, it was not the west end crybabied, as you call them, that wanted neighborhood schools.

[/quote] would've been a good way to pay for that million dollar scoreboard... [/quote]scoreboard has already been paid for by private dollars [/quote]You're pretty high up in BISD.....what do you think about the new stadium name?

[quote name="SgtRey" post="791751" timestamp="1271616651"] [quote author=82 5A State Champs link=topic=68672.msg790878#msg790878 date=1271388501] I'm all for the stadium, I'm just totally embarassed at what the name represents. At this point in time, I regret to say that I am a BISD taxpayer! SgtRey, I saw you at the board meeting....what are your thoughts on it? [/quote] I have never been to a meeting before....from what it sounds like apparently he is given credit for intergrating schools and improving the overall district's education.  I had no idea of the racism that excisted here....more so, the reverse racism (if that's such a phrase)...It's ok for african american to dislike the white man, but if the white man dislikes the african american....your facing the 3rd degree....what ever!....I hate everybody that uses race as an excuse for one's success or an excuse for one's failure.  YOU CAN NOT DENY HARD WORK.... I THINK THE STADIUM SHOULD BE NAMED AFTER MR NIELD, THE ONLY PERSON ON THE BOARD THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH AND IS NOT AFFRAID TO STAY QUIET.  HE ALSO THE ONE THAT VOTED AGAINST IT.....    [/quote]I agree with you 100%. I find something else odd. There were 26 items on the agenda the night they voted on this. IT was #24 out of 26. The way I see it, with it being late in the meeting, there would be less opposition to the naming since most folks would be home getting ready for bed. Dont know if this a true statement, just saying......

Somebody's gettin paid!

How about just plain ole' BISD Stadium. Thats a helluva lot better than the name it got!

At least we'll get the first win in the new "Carroll Thomas" (throw up in my mouth) Stadium! Can I go vandailize the sign when it goes up?

I'm all for the stadium, I'm just totally embarassed at what the name represents. At this point in time, I regret to say that I am a BISD taxpayer! SgtRey, I saw you at the board meeting....what are your thoughts on it?

Unfortunately my friend, it is. What would have been wrong with calling it, oh I dont know, the BISD Multipurpose Athletic Complex? At least I could have respected that. I am totally disgusted with this. I think.....yep, I just threw up in my mouth!

Could someone please explain to me why it was thought, by some, that it was a great idea to name the BISD Multi-purpose Center after BISD's overpaid superintendent? What has this person done that is so great that he should have this facility named after him. A normal and prudent man would have declined that this facility be named after him, but I guess this man is neither normal, or prudent. I guess this is his way of creating some sort of legacy for himself. This just makes me want to vomit! Shame on you BISD board members for voting this way. It SHOULD have been maned after someone that has actually made a difference. Of course I wouldn't object to naming it the Carroll Thomas MEMORIAL Stadium.....that has a better ring to it, dont you think?

That was a waste of a thread. :-\

[quote name="westend1" post="780360" timestamp="1269291624"] You never get to see enough of the guys from other schools, but Christine Michael was as good as I have ever watched. [/quote]I concur. By far, the most talented RB I have ever seen play.

Group hug time! LOL!

Nobody on here is saying that LaPorte will be a pushover. I mean, they make it three rounds deep last year, so obviously they are doing something right. We are simply saying, dont expect to come into the 215 and dominate the competition. I expect the Bulldogs to make the postseason next year, along with PAM, NS and WB. However, I expect them to be in the 3rd or 4th place spot. This district is gonna be tough for them, as I fully expect the district title to come down to WB and NS again.

The last time I remember LaPorte was in our district, they did not fare so well. Welcome Back to the 215!

Congrats to both winners.

They must be 'skeerd'!

Aren't ya'll missing one more preseason game? I only see 4.

[quote name="scooter!" post="756414" timestamp="1265519793"] WB vs PAM for the title, NS third, LP fourth [/quote]I applaud you for being a fan through thick and thin, but I believe this will be the same ol' PAM team. They'll be at the top half of the bottom of the district. Sorry.

[quote name="Newbie" post="756319" timestamp="1265501704"] 21 5A should be WB and NS with LP not far behind. [/quote]Maybe so, but they'll have at least 2 losses.

......and so the smack talking commences! ;)

Man, wassup? You dont give no love to the fine folks aver at PAM! I guess they aint gonna win again this year! LOL!!! :D

Not only will we get to play the first game in the new stadium, we will get the FIRST WIN in the new stadium!!!!LOL!

Incedentally, does anyone know what our schedule will look like next year.......who, where and when?

West Brook and GP North Shore for the 21-5A title!

Cant wait till next August!!!!
