AggiesAreWe

What about a larger visitors stands? The current ones are on average of a 2A school, not 4A.

Not much of a question. :

I just have one question, is there an elevator up to the pressbox? ;D

Jags take it, 7-6

Chris shot a 3 over par 74 today to finish tied for 36th after the second round, making the cut by 2 strokes. After shooting a 3 over 38 on the front nine, Spinks got birdies on 10 and 13 to get back to +3 with 5 holes remaining but a double bogey on the par 3 15th brought him back to +5 where he finished. Chris will tee off at 8:40 in the morning on #10 for his third round. Other local players that missed the cut: Brandon Ellis of Village Mills 79-75= 154 Charlie Jabbia of Beaumont WD

Ivory "Chopper" Williams qualified for the finals but just finished 7th out of the 8 qualifiers in the final. Chopper had a terrible start, was last out of the blocks and only caught one runner finishing with a time of 10.1.

Be careful with that word "NEVER", it can come back to haunt you.

NO CARTS!!!! That rules me out of ever playing. This heat is terrible. In our invitational last week, we went through 25 cases of bottle water a day and used over 30 kegs of beer. That's not even counting how many cases of soda we went through. Also, every cart was rented each round, morning and afternoon, players and spectators. We started watering our greens immediately after each round because of how dried up they would get by the end of the day. We watered till midnight each evening just to keep the greens in good shape. The fairways remained hard and fast, couldn't get enough water on them without the help of rain. I personally drank at least 6 bottles of Gatorade each day during the round, along with "other" beverages.

Hey, we tried to do Bridge City games in the past, but the BC administration turned us down. They wanted nothing to do with us.

Former Hardin-Jefferson and Lamar golfer Chris Davis, better known here as Spinks, is tied for 26th in the Texas Amatuer Championship after shooting a 2 over par round of 73. Chris will tee off tomorrow in the second round at 1:30. Here are the scores after the first round: [Hidden Content]

I got Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe.

Let's hope Coach Crouch doesn't get the blame for poor play calling like Hooks didn't get the blame at WOS.

I have not seen anyone say that WOS is a place someone would hate to go to. I only posted that it is a tough place to climb the stairs. ;D

I'll take care of the lunch and you can take care of my meal at Pappadeaux's when we all get together. We 3 need to meet on a Saturday in Beaumont at a certain restaurant with a great atmosphere anyways. We will call it a "setxsports business lunch" to discuss some things about a show? Name the time and place. I believe we can put it on the SETXsports tab. ;D

Gabe, you're still getting a "pity" lunch out of my winnings. Just know that some t-sip sucker is paying for it. ;D

I don't think the Raiders will lose to Silsbee. But then again I know you are biased just like I am. When was the last time Silsbee beat Lumberton? Had to be in the 90's. '99 was the last time Silsbee beat Lumberton. Lumberton has a current win streak of 4 games but these two teams have not played each other since '03. The overall record is 15-5 in Silsbee's favor. Silsbee has scored 598 points and given up 206, averaging about 30 points a game while giving up just 10 all time against Lumberton. Silsbee has 8 shutouts against the Raiders while Lumberton has recorded 1. They have played just 8 times since '92, splitting those 8 games. They played 12 seasons in a row from '78 to '89, the first 12 years these two teams started playing each other, and Silsbee won 11 out of the 12. They have since only played the 8 times in the last 18 seasons. Silsbee will stop that win streak this year.

I took joy in winning $500. Had it been me winning the same money for LSU losing, my joy would have been the same.

As for fans, it is Cleveland. Stadium conditions, Hamshire-Fannett. Rivalry, Jasper. Plus the parking is atrocious there. Refs, I never believe refs cost anyone a game. Ect, WOS, because Dan R. Hooks Stadium took half my big toe last year. OUCH!!!!!

I did hear of some hugging going on between you and Joesbros. ;D

Just in your beer. ;D Just giving you a hard time, bro.

Mitchell - ugh. It seemed like every time I turned around he was at bat. Ask Joey, every time he came up all I could say was "Didn't he just freaking bat??" :D What about that defensive back that mowed down your whorns? ;D

The predicted starting five for Silsbee will be '5"9 Hill, '6"2 Lane, '6"4 Stallworth, '6"7 Barnes, '6"7 Thomas. But, Silsbee may not start both bigmen. They could go with '6"0 Bolton, '6"2 Harris, or '6"3 Johnson on the wing. :o No shooting guards!!!!! Totally different team for Silsbee this year. Last year with Byers, Walters and Robinson shooting outside and now teams should be able to pack it in on them and make them beat you with the bigs or beat you from outside. Very true, Lazeek. I spoke with Travis and Ira and they both commented that this will be a very different Silsbee team this coming season. They will try to take advantage of their size and make it a half court game. You will most likely see scores in the 40's, 50's, and 60's from the Tigers rather than the 70's, 80's and 90's. They still have a couple of shooters coming up from the JV, but not as prolific as the three that has graduated. It will be very interesting to see this type of Silsbee team play. One advantage I see, we will have a taller PG('6"2 Lane) which should enable him to get some passes inside.

The right fielder Mitchell was impressive too. Great speed and very good bat.
