    Thanks for the compliment.  My wife and I are hardly to blame.  He's mostly self driven and has his priorities right.  

    Also, I do know other parents and kids that are in the midst of this behavioral issue.  Looking at it from the outside looking in, a majority of these issues, contrary to popular belief, begins at home.  Priorities are wrong.  Many parents are 'checking out' too early.  Kids get to high school and parents feel like they raised them this far, now it's on them.  Because 'when I was 14/15 years old, I had a whole kid and/or was basically raising myself, you should be able to do it'.  Horrible mindset, but that's how many think.  Just look on social media.  Parents ***** and complain about every little thing about the district.  'The district is frisking and patting town my kids'.  'The administration are allowing fights to happen'.   'Car pool lines are moving too slow'.  'Even though my daughter came to school with hole in her jeans and I know it's against the dress code, I'm pissed because she got suspended'.  The complaints go on and are endless.  When I have time, I'll screenshot the countless amount of crying and complaining about everything.  BUT, when the district put out a statement about what they are going to do to stop the vandalism, fights, bomb threats, and other disciplinary issues, THEN ask the parents to do their part (they gave a list of things that parents can do to help remedy the situation), all goes mute.  No one responds at all.  THIS is the problem.  You see literally no involvement in the local PTA.  Hardly any parents show up to project graduation meetings or events.  But as soon as little Johnny gets in trouble, they're at the school acting a damn fool and showing their arse.  Probably to post it to social media.  This is part of the problem.  

    Personally, I commented on one of these whiney posts and I suggested that the district is ALWAYS looking for volunteers.  They'll never turn you down.  One parent (that's right, ONE) replied and asked me if I volunteered and questioned my involvement.  Even though it was non of her business, I did inform her that I was a volunteer for the last 4 years.  Needless to say, I got no reply after that.  

    I say that to say this.  Most of the problems in the district is NOT the district it's self.  Not saying they are totally innocent, but these parents can make a difference.  

    I'm really in the know with PAISD, and there's these same kind of problems.  Also with Silsbee ISD.  Same issues.  Districts are handling the problems the best that they can.  But for some reason, the bigger districts like PAISD and BISD seems to be in the media and in the spotlight way more than others.  Strange how that happens.  

    As far as employment, yes, the turnover rate in BISD is high.  Look across at other districts.  Turnover rate is high in a lot of districts.  Don't believe me?  Go to other district websites and view the job postings.  The fact of the matter is that districts are asking teachers and employees to do extra things outside of their job description, partially due to covid or refusal to hire more employees to help ease the burden.  Or maybe the job just isn't paying enough.  BISD and PAISD pay scale is pretty much on par with every Texas district.  Or maybe the teachers (employees) have friends that are detractors and hear them say things like, 'girl, you need to get away from that hellhole.  BISD is going down hill and you need to get out while you can.  Come work in this district with me here in Tim Buck Too.  To be part of that 'flight', they make the move, then immediately start talking crap about the district.  'I'm glad I left.  Best decision I've ever made'.  

    Sorry, I may be rambling, but these kinds of things be on my mind.  Sorry if I got off subject.

    Good Post !  As the old saying goes " If You Are Part Of The Solution You Are Part Of The Problem"

    We have two weeks to correct the unfortunate mishaps of the players since it was their fault!! Hopefully they can have a players only meeting  and fix the issues or they can call up their pee wee coaches to help them out!!!😥

    That wouldn't be a bad idea, That can only help with team unity and accountability perhaps your son can make that suggestion or head the meeting being he is one of if not the key players on the team .

    It’s likely just going to add complexity to a snapper/center, and even if you practice game time execution versus practice execution. 
     

    it’s a choice do you spend time on QB/C snapping the ball in a corner for 10 minutes a practice for one play or do you have the QB throw 20 more routes, or the center get 20 more shotgun snaps. 
     

    everything is an opportunity cost because you have practice time limits. 

     

     

    Ok, that makes sense , I just was looking at it as just you should be prepared for any and everything but to the coaches defense I think he had his backup QB in so may not have had time to work on other things, thanks for the clarity.

    just asking do yall snap from under center? I know Crosby never snaps from center so if you don't do it you basically have no choice but shotgun. 

    Not real sure if that is that is the case all the time, but if so,what's wrong practicing under center for occasions like this or goal line situations. just asking?

    the definition of "bad coaching" would be to put a kid under center if he had never practiced that...not sure if this is the case at BU, but sounds like it may be...you cannot, especially in a critical moment, call on players to do things that they have not worked on

    I can agree with this, not trying to bad mouth a coach because there job is hard enough. I do question as to why, be 1 dimensional and not be prepared to huddle under center for situations as running out the clock or on the 1 yard line etc... If I need a yard,why would I start 3-5 yard's behind the line of scrimmage?

    Is anyone surprised about this other than @TxHoops?

    I am not surprised by the new AD decisions at all, everything he has touched has turned to crap . Whats surprising is, the worst athletic program Lamar has had in the last 20 years or so haven't been touched which is Track and Field . Tic Price was at least trying to recruit local talent, and out of 7 seasons only had 2 losing seasons . This new AD is a looser and has come in and is destroying Lamar entire athletic program right before our eyes.

    I was in a similar situation, but the guy from Kimball actually was a good sport about,congratulated us and said he was looking forward to seeing us against them next year. That was an awesome game to watch that was like an emotional rollercoaster, proud of the team the 409 and support received.

    I don’t know about that, but I respect your choice.

    Arceneaux, made two shots that I never saw coming. Both times I really thought the game was over. The first I actually was congratulating some Kimball fans. Well yOu can imagine their faces when we tied it, then won it. On two incredible shots. Oh yea, they looked like they had been had, lol.

    it was priceless. Well of course, they didn’t return the congrats, lmao. It was an experience all Wolves fans should’ve experienced. Damn it was good.

    Come on are you REALLY going to make this a discussion? The 2001 Ozen was definitely the best ever to come out of Beaumont, and its not even close. The Hebert teams in the 80's rank 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, but this years BU team is benefitting from the Covid schedule and from being dropped in classification. They are really good and will probably win the 5A title tomorrow, but if you put this team up against Austin Westlake or Duncanville, they would not be the clear favorite and would likely get beaten convincingly this season being so young.  I hope they win it all though! 

    I agree that the 2001 team was on another level, that team was possibly 12 deep , but I disagree with the idea that this team benifited from Covid they played who was put in front of them .People tend to forget the 01 team beat the #1 5a team that same year . It really is hard to compare the two but if I had my choice I would take the 01 team all day no comparison.

    He wasn't the only one.  Just the first one that I noticed.  At least 2 more.  1 was faking an injury.  The trainer would come over and stretch him out and whenever the trainer would walk away, he'd laugh about it.  Another special team player came out after half time and just left his shoulder pads in the locker room.  I did notice a few other seniors that called them out towards the end of the game for quitting.  Something in me tells me where those kids would be going to school if the schools had not merged but I'll leave that alone...

    I do admire the coaches for rolling with the kids that still wanted to get out there and try to compete and letting the returning players finish the game out for you.  What the kids have to realize to be like the Manvel's and other teams that consistently have good programs, there is no time off.  Next season starts Monday...

    I blame the quitting on the coaches , you have to have the right culture and that starts with the coaches weather you winning by 20 or loosing by 50 you still have to play with a certain attitude. I agree you quit on me,go somewhere else because you are here. Also,as far as what school they may have went to b4 merger we don't know but as of now they are merged so it doesn't matter one way or another,starts with the new coaches and the attitude they install within these kids.
