No truth. I have actually watched a game where a team had 14 players suited up but only 6 played.

I believe Jasper's weakness is their defensive front. They are very small. A big, athletic offensive line leading a power run game would give Jasper lot's of problems (aka Diboll). Jasper's secondary is as good as anyone's so IMO you run it down their throats as long as you can. I think Bellville could possibly be that team.

And I answered his tweet with this comment: I guess my issue would be 0-10, 1-9 teams getting in while 6-4, 7-3 teams stay home. I think all districts should have a minimum of 7 teams if you're going to have 4 teams qualify. Right now the current playoff system is more about geography and not about success. Here's another way to look at it: Coach A is coach of a team in a district with 7 teams. He has compiled a record of 37 wins and 16 losses over the last 5 years, making the playoffs 1 time, advancing to the 3rd round. Coach B is a coach in a nearby district (less than 50 miles) that has 4 teams in the district. He has compiled a record of 11 wins and 44 losses, making the playoffs all 5 years, not winning a single playoff game. Coach A has beat Coach B's team soundly all 4 times in non district play. Yet Coach B resume can state he has been to the playoffs 5 times more than Coach A. I really don't have that big of an issue with 4 teams going as long as every district has a minimum 7 teams. A playoff system (any and every playoff system) should never have 0-10, 1-9 teams qualifying. I am old school for sure. I don't like this "participation ribbon" society that we have become.

Yes. But that thing is too high up to climb for my old a**!!!

He married a Silsbee gal and she came to her senses and dumped him.

I will always believe a playoff system is flawed if it allows teams with 0 wins or just 1 win to qualify. That's a complete farce.

If the UIL wants to keep the 4 team playoff system, then they should do whatever is necessary to make every single district a minimum 7 team district. I realize that this would cause more travel for some schools but the UIL has never really been concerned with schools travel situations anyways.

My dislike of the current playoff system has nothing to do with Silsbee. But you already knew that. Always trying to dis the Tigers when you can. My point is I think it's a complete joke to have a team make the playoffs without winning a single game or just one game but yet there are teams that won 6 maybe even 7 games and do not qualify. I agree with bullets. I wish there was a way to adjust the playoff qualifiers by how many teams are in a district. 4 team district, 2 go. 5 team, 3 go, 6 team, 3 go. Only allow districts of 7 teams or more to send 4. That way, you have to win at least 2 district games to make playoffs.

I have always liked the two team playoff system. Never have liked the four team. Particularly when you have some 4, 5 and 6 team districts. It only requires a team to win one or two games out of 10. In some cases, 0 wins. (Houston Scarborough made playoffs a few years ago with an 0-10 record) That's ridiculous.

Huntington will not score

Saw them up close (stood on sidelines) when they lost to Shelbyville earlier this season. Silsbee got this. Won't beat them as bad as last year, but Silsbee should win.

I am happy for Hardin-Jefferson for making the playoffs. It's been a rough, tough season for those guys (injuries and losing close games) But, here is just another reason why I dislike how the UIL has made the playoffs these days. Yet another 1 win team is in the playoffs. I don't know of any sport (professional, college, high school) that has one win teams make the playoffs. Sad, truly sad.
