I'll never forget the fishing trip the three of us took down to Falcon. One hell of a good time.

Just because my 3000th post should be about my good friend in Heaven, Bobby.

It's a very sad day for us all.  My friend, my bleacher sparing partner, my fishing buddy, and a REALLY good man.  He was passionate about his Broncos and all of the high school athletes in Texas.  I just knew when the phone rang from his number it was to go see a game, sad to say it was not.  I wished I had a dollar for every time I was in a meeting or on a plane and Bobby called to tell me about some smack on this board and him prodding me to go poke at someone.  He would just laugh and laugh as he read these post, despite having read them 10 or 20 times already.  One thing I can say, Bobby was a stand-up guy.  He was always making football fun bets and he always paid up.  Either I was having to wear stupid shirts to a game or he was having to show up in a competitor's shirt, or even once with a stuffed crow on his shoulder.  Bobby, my friend, here is one more smack just for you......GOD SPEED my friend:
Dayton Sucks..............but they are truly lucky to have had you in their stands!!!!!!!!  Love you brother!  
 
  

I remember the first time I met Tex at a PNG GCM game in Baytown.  I was sitting there talking to some friends from PNG and he was sitting 2 rows down.  He turned around and said, you're from Crosby, you must be Cal.  I'll miss our friendly banter, dinner bets, and red vs purple shirts bets.  Most of all I'll miss a buddy of mine I met though here and such a loyal caring man that truly cared about his school and the kiddos.  Next year when Crosby plays Dayton, I'll wear purple for you my friend!  You'll be missed by many in the community and you left such a positive mark.  With a heavy heart your family is in my thoughts!

We should have a SETXSPORTS Hall of fame and make liltex the first inductee. He has my vote and I'm sure the vote of everyone on this board

Yea, it's true.  it's the same information I got yesterday from Ms.Tex...

Service will be Tuesday 3 PM Pace Stancel Funeral Home in Dayton. 

Wow, I didn't expect this. Good season Eagles. Then there was only one.

Maybe vidor can suit up and practice against them this week!

this just gives the me the red  a - - .
 

Man look, I really don't know what to say.  I'm at a loss of words, really...  over the years, I've built a really good relationship with him...  sports talks, the post game show...  just last year, the man came and gave me a jump when I was stranded on the highway in his neck of the woods in the moss hill area.  
Many prayers sent to his wife and family.. 

That's a great story. I see it has also made its way over to Smoakys site. We should all ALWAYS remember. Coaches get graded on wins and losses by the fans. To the kids they are many times so much more than a win or loss. Really heartwarming that so many coaches go above and beyond. 

ABSOLUTELY! We ain't changing a thing and I wanna give the man a raise. Besides, what we pay Jeff in Vidor has NOTHING to do with what other coaches make. I think he's worth $200K a year. 

Not so sure about that. A different couch could change up how the offense works and could bring out a whole new team. Same with the defense, on the other hand it could be a train wreck. Doesn't matter though cause with the salary, respect and love Vidor shows for JM he isn't going anywhere ever, no matter what his overall record is. If it isn't broke.....don't fix it and the leadership in vidor isn't broke.

I was told that no matter who wins that WOS will play at NRG stadium on Friday 7:30 pm, if we win as well.

My co-worker been talking Cuero all season and said it was the team that bothered the most. I will be trying to see if this game will be streamed so I can check it out.

WOW! I personally think this victory would be as big as us vs. PAM but wouldn't be a total shocker. One thing I've learned from a few years of watching high school football it's hard to defeat that tradition thing....Cuero has it.

You know I find all this so funny. It seems a good group of people talking on this thread don't seem to have a problem with the stealing of the items as much as they do with what Flanigan did. Same folks who also don't mind their stadium still has the name Carroll Thomas in big letters. Change it to Jerry Levias!!!

The BISD admin culpability has been mentioned several times, and to my knowledge, no one has refuted it.  So in the absence of defense, I guess most agree.  And that makes me wonder why there isn't more outrage directed at them.  Had they done their job, this is a non event.

Thompson was that way when he coached at Vidor as well. Great motivator!

I work for a large corporation. If I go to my boss, or for that matter if any employee of that boss does, with an ALLEGED impropriety and my boss doesn't act on it that makes the boss just as liable as the guilty party. If Flanigan went to BISD about this issue and they didn't act then I'm pretty sure they are as liable as Flanigan. Coach made a mistake that he tried to justify because his superiors didn't act upon the theft allegation. Both are at fault.

Prayers man; hope his surgery goes well and it will.
