Right. But so many already knew that I am not surprised it was announced before the school board meeting tomorrow night. I do agree. Toby has his work cut out for him but I think he's up for the task. I was told he will take a pay cut but will be allowed to bring in some coaches of his choice. It's my understanding this is the 3rd time he has applied for the Jasper job. Third times the charm.

Prayers to you and your family.

I guess except for KJAS. lol Congrats to Toby Foreman.

Certainly not a well kept secret. But after learning last week who would be hired, I was asked not to announce until it is announced tomorrow. Everyone can be patient.

To answer the question as far as this website goes as to why the baseball coverage isn't as much as football and basketball, there are two specific reasons, One, our beloved admin Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) is no longer with us. Todd was the man that took care of pretty much everything here at SETXsports. He was the one who posted schedules, game threads, scores and standings for our coverage area teams in all our sports. It was a big loss for us when he passed away in August of 2021. Since then, we have never been able to completely fill his shoes. He was such a special person and we miss him dearly. Second, in the summer of 2022, I decided to retire (in hindsight, semi-retire) from the site. I had told my wife that when she retired as a school teacher, that I would retire with her so that we could spend more time at the beach together. I would no longer do any broadcasting and would take a step back from my admin duties. I told the owner (Jordan Wilson) that he would need to get some other mods to handle those duties. Jordan asked me to stay on for a little while until he could get others to take over. So I did. We had Bigdog and WOSdrummer99 take over the football forum as far as schedules, pickems, scores and standings. They have been a big help in that forum. Jordan went with a bot system to create game threads and the scoreboard thread. I helped when needed. Football forum is in good hands. As for basketball, several of the area basketball coaches were concerned that the basketball forum would die off without me tending to it. So they asked me to stay on and take care of that forum. I talked to Jordan about it and we agreed that I would handle that forum on my own with the understanding that after basketball season was over, I would not handle anything else until football season. I put a lot of love and effort in that forum and many folks have expressed their appreciation. But, those days are numbered as well. I honestly don't know how much longer I'll continue to take care of that forum. One, maybe two more years. We will see. As for the baseball forum, KF89 has done the best that he can with posting schedules and scores. I know how tough it is to try and do it all by oneself. It's really beneficial to have others invested in posting info in the forum. I was hoping other mods or members would help in that regard. A lot of truth has been stated in regards to the popularity of the three sports, particularly on this website. Football is definitely king and always will be. Basketball has always had more traffic on the site than baseball. I admit that part of that is how we (I) cover basketball much more than baseball. But even so, the basketball forum has 100,000 more posts in that forum than the baseball forum. It is what it is. KF89 is doing what he can but until we get others to commit to help out, the baseball forum will lack. Don't ask me, I am about to start my 4 1/2 month vacation from here. lol

You are insulting my intelligence (and severely underestimating the powers of an admin and what I am privy to). You are not fooling anyone here, CB. You actually make it pretty obvious. (particularly the occasional shots made at Silsbee). You making a post in the basketball forum is evidence enough. Only CB would call himself genius and come up with the new username of TheMissingBand. But I digress.

Comparing Trump to Hitler is a pretty big reach. Even for you CB.

My father taught me that kindness and graciousness won over anger and bitterness. My father was a pillar of our community. UT alum can attest to that. He was no push over either. Was Chief Umpire at Silsbee Little League for many many years. So he dealt with many a sour folk from time to time. I am certainly not trying to compare the two positions but just my way of saying we have a choice in our behaviors.

I am 36-4 ($100) and 35-5 ($250). Lost Vandy game. Still lead 100 pool. Tied for 1st in 250. Need an 8-0 day today. Got Zona, Kansas, UConn, Purdue, Florida, Bama, Virginia and Iowa St in $250. Same for $100 except for Kansas. I have St. John's in that game.

No. Just have to have a better bracket than the others that are playing in your pool. My $100 bracket pool has 14 of us playing. $250 bracket pool there is 8 of us. I am in two other pools. One is $25 and the other is $20. It's all point based. So many points for correct picks in 1st round, then 2nd round, then 3rd, etc. Point's per win get greater each round. I am leading in both my $100 and $250 pools. $250 pool is winner take all. $100 is 1st and 2nd.

I get it. Don't have to miss him. Not asking him to. But can also not say a single word. Pretty easy to do if you ask me. I also agree with you about all our leaders. But he is the ultimate leader so lead by example is what I say. Politics is so ugly these days. Case in point this forum. I hate that it is this way.

In my $100 pool, I am 34-3. Only loss today so far is tu/Zaga. In my $250 pool, I am 33-4. Same loss today. I have Illini, Vandy and Arkansas in the remaining three games for both brackets.

I don't think stomping on a man's grave is necessary to win anything.

Not sure I am considered a "y'all" any longer.

So I am a liar now? I hold my President to a higher standard. It's that simple.
