[quote name="WOSgrad" post="978663" timestamp="1299431382"] Well, let me clarify here.  I didn't intend this to be a pro-football or anti-football thread.  I mean I am ready for football to begin!  I have the preview questionnaire form prepared. I am working on the letter to the coaches and as soon as Kirbyville names their new head coach, those questionnaires are being mailed out to the coaches! And the numbers do bear out that football is our big forum here so certainly our attention to football should not in any way be curtailed and as long as I am in some way responsible for the football forum, it won't be. What prompted me to open this topic is that at some point in the future...it may not be next year...it may not even be in the next 10 years...but it will happen...that we will see a slowing of growth of the site due to football.  Common sense just tells us that we can't sustain the type of growth that has occurred during the football season forever.  At that point continuing growth of the site will depend on these other sports and the growth in January and February shows that we have the potential, if we just pay some attention to these other sports and employ some of the other tools that we have employed in the football forum, to achieve that growth.   And I think dropping a forum, less than 24 hours after the local teams runs counter to that appearance and threatens that growth. Like I said above, this is not personal, it is strictly business. [/quote] I agree totally. (well except for that last statement about it being not personal ;D ;D)

The #7 state ranked Carthage Bulldogs will take on the Silsbee Tigers, Monday night in Jasper at 7pm. Carthage comes in at 6-3 on the season while Silsbee stands at 7-0. This will be a great test for these Tigers. First pitch scheduled for 7pm.

AMEN BROTHER, AMEN!!! I actually think the forums should be kept at the top a few days after the sport is over, to give a little more look at all district and all state teams plus some season summary talk. I thought it was lame of Kerry to move the girls basketball forum the minute (probably the second ::)) that it's sport had completed. Could have stayed a couple of days for some state tourney talk, wouldn't have hurt anything. Just keep in mind that the boys basketball forum should not be moved down when the clock strikes midnight on March 12th. ;)

[quote name="Youknowwho" post="978584" timestamp="1299390789"] The team  with the best record plays the team with the worst record  same as baseball. [/quote] Nope, that is not how it is done. Check the two previous posts, they have nailed it.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="978436" timestamp="1299373247"] Still my pick to win state. [/quote] They are lot's of folks pick, including mine.

[quote name="ShlyKBMT" post="978523" timestamp="1299381528"] Dallas Kimball is better than LM or Ball [/quote] Kimball is much better than LM or Ball.

It's an inside joke with a friend of mine who coaches at Mexia. He views this board. I picked HJ to win this game. Not at all happy about them losing for many reasons.

I know that some school districts are considering the "pay to play" plan. A student would have to pay a fee (not sure what the fee cost would be) to be able to participate in any extracurricular activity (sports, band, cheerleading, drama, UIL academic competitions) I doubt seriously if this could work, but I know of a couple of local districts that are considering it.

[quote name="BIGMO44" post="978070" timestamp="1299300000"] Great game Rebs...very slow start for both teams.  Evadale had somewhere around 13 turnovers in the 1st half and you just had the feeling that Evadale was the better team.  Way to finish strong guys.  One game from the BIG dance!!!  Thanks to SETX and Aggies for the coverage.  Hey Aggie, you were the best lookin broadcaster over there tonight...LOL [/quote] And the most informed. They were all asking me for info on all 4 of the teams. BIGMO, I am looking forward to 3 more games. ;) (oh, and Papadeaux's was great, ate my weight in oysters on the half shell) ;D

Don't sleep on Mexia!! ;D

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="977324" timestamp="1299249022"] True AAW...It has really only been BADSANTA!!!!! ;D ;D [/quote] As much back and forth he goes on his predictions, I can see where one would think it was multiple fans. Maybe he has multiple personalities. I think I'll start calling BADSANTA from here on out as "Cybil". ;)

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="977289" timestamp="1299245500"] First Down I have seen Mexia on tape..........very quick, deep and athletic.  Reminds me of a team that HJ had trouble with during the regular season. I can assure you that HJ is focused squarely on the Black Cats. And that the people stirring the pot and talking trash on here are SILSBEE [b]fans[/b], that are deep down inside hoping that the Hawks trip and fall!!!! Good luck tonight First Down....come introduce yourself to me.  I will be the smaller of the two guys broadcasting the game!!!!! ;) ;) ;D ;D [/quote] Make that Silsbee FAN, as in singular. Rob, you and your conspiracy theories. ::)

Get those picks in by 3pm today!!

Six errors, really. Focus guys. You fought back from three runs down and the errors that lead to the three runs to take the lead. You didn't get down and worked hard to get back in the game, last year yall mite have folded but not this year. Get a handle on that ball. Go Tigers!!! [/quote] It's the one thing I was really concerned about this year with Silsbee and that was defense. That's 10 errors in the last two games. You can have outstanding pitching but commit 5 errors and you will really be hard pressed to win games. Tigers have to get better defensively!
