Got something to be concerned about!

[quote name="becktobigs" post="819658" timestamp="1279805459"] [quote author=NorthoftheBorder link=topic=71083.msg819535#msg819535 date=1279736525] Hopefully he will be 6'5" 290+ by the time he hits LU.  Glad to know he is a good kid from a great family.  I hope he also will be a beast on the field. [/quote] Found someone that I assume is his dad old press guide listed at 6'3" 253 and kids are bigger these days and weight should make him still bigger.  [b]Joe Persohn from Beaumont French is his dad???[/b] [/quote] That is correct.

[quote name="Rizon" post="819647" timestamp="1279800535"] Very interesting year like last year. Show up or you will get beat. Aggie won't like my picks because his...well you'll see. I have heard of some injuries concerning very important players for some teams. Don't know the truth behind them but I'm going to assume no injuries until I get to go watch teams play in some tournaments. My picks are as follows: 1) Bridge City 2) Orangefield 3) H-F [b]4) Silsbee[/b] 5) H-J 6) WO-S If Orangefield uses the Granger girl as an Outside when she is on frontrow, they are going to be really tough. Could see a split between them and BC and playing a game for seeding.Really would not be shocked if we see a play in game between H-F and Silsbee. H-F lost a lot last year and Silsbee lost a very important person seeing as they ran a 5-1. Both teams always seem to just reload so I'm sure they will be tough as usual. Could be 2007 all over again but a couple different teams in different games. Good luck to all the teams on the upcoming season. [/quote] Indeed, clueless. ::)

[/quote] This is SE TEXAS and FORD PARK...............off course there are plenty of seats available!!!!! [/quote] Why wouldn't there be tickets available? It's just wrasslin. ;D BTW, I'll take Mark Henry over The Miz and I don't even know who the Miz is. How bout it? Any takers? I'll put $50 on it. ;D

Rizon is the one that is clueless. Remember? ;D

So I take it that KLVI got the contract to broadcast the football games? Not surprised. ::) I know I was told way back that Lamar was going to "explore" their options on who would radio broadcast their football games. Heard it would go to the highest bidder. Most folks assumed that KLVI would do it and they were right. Good move to keep KLVI as the flagship station for Lamar sports.

Sorry mactiger, just having some fun. ;D

[quote name="bleed orange" post="819470" timestamp="1279725959"] Do not listen to "Aggie" volleygirl. ;D ;D His brain cavity is foggy. ;D ;D [/quote] C'mon Bleed, you know that I am the volleyball guru around these parts. ;) ;D (besides, I didn't know it took brains to know volleyball) ;D That'll get'em posting ;D

This thread will remained locked until we find out if there is something going on. We have made some contacts and so far nothing has transpired.

[quote name="volleygirl" post="819461" timestamp="1279723677"] How many returning players does Silsbee have they were dominant last year but how many did they lose? [/quote] Enough to dominate!!!! ;D

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="819425" timestamp="1279717597"] Do all weeks count, or do you drop your worst one? [/quote] All weeks count. The reason you see some of the posters with less games is either they started later in the year in the contest or they missed a week or two. That's why there is a winning percentage. You will make a pick in every game listed for that week. You don't get the choice of games for that week. An incomplete pick results in a loss, I think. That's why everyone should check their picks after they have posted them just to make sure all the games were picked. It's easy sometimes to overlook a game or two.

Just wanted to give kudos to Travis, James and Ira for putting on another great tourney. 23 teams, over 50 games in three days, with all the top area teams represented. Great job!! Looking forward to this coming season.

Already hearing things.  ;)

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="819437" timestamp="1279719416"] Remember, Vidor is also bigger than PN-G.  Vidor will also need to miss for PN-G to go D-2... [/quote] Soulja, I think you mean for PNG to go DI, not DII. PNG can go DI if the district plays out like this: PNG Central or Nederland LCM Livingston or Lumberton

I was already contacted about doing the play-by for the 1A Div. I and Div. II games.

[quote name="smitty" post="819418" timestamp="1279716002"] Anything going on with the LC-M head coach?  May have put his foot in his mouth!?  Is LC-M looking for a replacement?  Anyone heard anything???  [/quote] Just what exactly do you mean by "foot in his mouth"?

[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="819411" timestamp="1279715015"] Are we doing straight up up picks or are we doing the point spread thing?  [/quote] The point spread pic'ems were only in basketball. These will be straight up picks.

SILSBEE=DOMINATION!!!! ;D

I see that Mr. Berry retired before it was built. Why didn't Butch do the same? ;D

I personally am glad that BISD is getting new buildings for their schools. Been a long time coming. If it is because of him, then kudos to the sup. Good job. But, that doesn't mean he should get his name on a building. I guess I am old school. I always believe those kind of things should be done as a memorial. I know that buildings and stadiums get named by living folks all the time, but those folks usually have bought the naming rights or bought the building. (donations). I know I live outside BISD, I really have no say in this matter. But personally, I thought they should have named the staduim Durley/Smith Memorial Staduim, after Alex Durley and Willie Ray Smith. They could put Butch's name on the natatorium beside the staduim. From an outsider look driving by, the name on the staduim looks self gratifying. But, that's just me.

[quote name="SFA85" post="819191" timestamp="1279635545"] [quote author=ECBucFan link=topic=71081.msg819177#msg819177 date=1279633609] [quote author=SFA85 link=topic=71081.msg819166#msg819166 date=1279629315] But does your mother still live in SP and pay taxes in BISD?  If not, then no gripe.  The protectors of SP had plenty of opportunities to enshrine the 3rd floor since it became a middle school in '86.  Most of the people whining about SP being demode don't live in BISD and should get a case of hush mouth.  BTW, there will be a new SP built on the same site so it's not like SP is gone..... [/quote] 1) Mom just passed away, but [u][b]I PAY [/b] [/u] bisd taxes. I will say whatever I want to, 85. Period. 2) Wether Mom "lived in BISD or not", she [i]cared[/i] about SP. Duh. 3) You run your mouth constantly, but have the nerve to tell others to "hush mouth"?    >:(    [/quote] Sorry to hear about your mom, but sell the house...... And since you're handling the affairs, I don't see nothing going on in Stowel so again, you have no say.... And just like you, I have an opinion that none of you Butch-haters like but will see as long as I'm not banned... So in conclusion.... Enjoy small and old Bucanneer Stadium The majority of Us in BISD will enjoy and our kids will benefit from the fruits of CBT's labour...... [/quote] FYI, East Chambers got a new stadium a couple of years ago. ;) They also have the best high school gym of any school in the Southeast Texas area, regardless of classification. SFA85, how do you know ECbucfan doesn't live in Beaumont?

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="819089" timestamp="1279582443"] Don't get me wrong.  I much prefer the plan which creates a 6A over the current attempt to divide each class into two different divisions.  But this plan of 4 teams from each district further dilutes the championship.  That means in an eight team district all you have to do to make the playoffs is finish in the top half of the district....in a six team district, 2/3 of the teams will go.....and in a district like 14-1A, they are just playing the district schedule to determine the playoff seedings. [/quote] I wouldn't mind the 6A move, just keep it at 3 teams to qualify for the playoffs.

I have stated numerous times, 4 teams is just too much. The only way to justify 4 teams qualifying for the playoffs would be if those 4 teams come out of at least an 8-10 team district. This 4 out of 5, 4 out of 6, or 4 out of 7 is ridiculous. I even think 4 out of 8 is bad. I wanted it to stay 2 teams, but I have no problems with 3. Going to 4 teams is just another way for the UIL to get more money, plain and simple. It has nothing to do with "the social needs". ::)

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="819087" timestamp="1279581829"] Well, if my math is right from 11-Man 1A-5A 544 teams will make the playoffs (128 in 5A, 128 in 4A, 96 in 3A, 48 in 2A (DI), 48 in 2A (DII), 48 in 1A (DI), 48 in 1A (DII) this year and next. If the 6A plan with 4 teams reaching the playoffs out of each region, 768 teams from 11 Man 1A to 5A will make the playoffs.   Is it the "little league" mentality of everyone getting a trophy?  Not hardly.  [b]The bigger justification can be found in Page 15 of UIL Football Manual under Section 1250 (j) of the "Football" Plan which states, [b]"Fifteen percent of the gross receipts of post-district games shall be paid to the [University Interscholastic] League...."[/b] For that, you can do the math[/b]. [/quote] EXACTLY!!!!!!
