AggiesAreWe

But give AAW more credit because Bluedove actually thinks Hamshire Fannett is going to be a force in BASKETBALL in the future.. ;D I am hesitant to go there because a lot of other "predictions" recently have backfired Oh that hurt. :-[ But the truth does hurt from time to time. :'( I did win the pickem contest. ;D

I am giving you guys a head start. I will start next week and you all will feel my dominance.

This post will self destruct in 15 seconds! ;D AAW loves HJ HAWKS!!!!!! :D Who paid? Those HJ fans treated this Tiger fan.

I admit Stafford is a very good team, but this is the same team Silsbee had their way with last year in the Area round. I believe Stafford benefited from the realignment by getting moved to Region IV from Region III. I year can make a big difference (sometimes even less than a year >) but I am not sold on this team just yet.

This post will self destruct in 15 seconds! ;D

You know, I am needing a job right now. I think I will apply. ;D

I see the same four as this year. Ozen, Central, Livingston, Nederland.

Rockets win it, 99-92

What? You said it first? Typical Aggie : For your information Blue, I had this conversation at the dinner table with a few HJ fans last Saturday night. They will tell you.

You see what happens when you talk at the dinner table. ;D You HJ guys heard it from me first.

Another addition to the list. Thanks agains guys!

:o What does that mean?! It means what I typed..............Silsbee is likely a better job, more athletes, more tradition and more recent success!!!!! Why would he leave Silsbee for Central...........now Ozen on the other hand??? : : : : .... Please tell me who is the judge of 'the better job'. and please tell me since when did Silsbee had better athletes and tradition than Central. : : Robert, I don't know about the better athletes, but Silsbee's basketball tradition is better than Central's. I realize that Central has not been a school as long as Silsbee, but the schools that combined to make Central, French and BCP, weren't the most tradition rich basketball programs around. BCP did have some good years, but they never made it to Austin.

Why? Do you know for a fact, ahead of time, that somebody is planning on forfeiting. Didn't we just witness a team "who had no chance in h-ll make it to the regional final? Who was that? By the way, now that all the hoopla is over and it hopefully will not be taken as an "excuse", Jasper played the last qualifying game against LaVega and the two tournament games without a second team all-district player Scott Middleton who was out with an injury. He is only a soph so you never know, the Dogs may be back sometime in the future. Excuse. : Right. Sounds EXACTLY like the one that Silsbee played on a little bit because a "key reserve" did not make the trip to Huntsville. You walked right into that one. ;D Hey, I never said mine wasn't an excuse. You were trying to say your's wasn't. Besides, I was asked why a certain player did not make the trip. I did not post the info to make an excuse. We don't need excuses. Jasper won the game. Not in the game that you were using an excuse for. Isn't that what we are talking about, using excuses in losses. You seem to be getting senile with every post. : No, it is what YOU are talking about. And you seem to be getting more dis-respectful with every post. I said that I hoped it would not be taken as an excuse because I did not mean it that way but you jumped all over it anyway. Okay, it WAS an excuse. I will clarify my statement if I mis-spoke in my senility. If Jasper had had Middleton playing, Jasper would have beaten Silsbee by twenty or more. ;D ........ I have no issue with HJ, the game outcome or its fans. They are very good folks and I wish them the very best at state. Then what was the point of posting it if you did not feel that way? In your mind you felt that it could be an excuse but you try to cover your tracks by giving your post a disclaimer. I posted in the Silsbee/Jasper game thread about the Silsbee player not being there because a HJ fan had heard that a certain player for Silsbee wasn't there and he asked me who it was and why he wasn't there. No excuses were made. You posted first using the word "excuse" in this thread, not me. I just called you on it, that's all.

I'm gettin old Gabe. I hate to admit it but it's true. I won't admit it, I have a full head of hair As for Aggies, don't you have a boring basketball game to get ready for? I really hate you don't see a great baseball game when you see one. I have played in too many great baseball games. If you've seen one, you've seen them all. ;D Besides,I didn't see this game. But one can never see enough great basketball games. ;D (and I mean BOYS basketball games)

We will be broadcasting the game here on this site. Audio only.

The Silsbee/Liberty game hasn't started yet because they are waiting on Gabe to come over and cover it. ;D

Prime? You never had a prime. ;D Oh, and you mean to tell me that these two storied baseball programs could only muster 1 run between them. Geesh! Glad I wasn't broadcasting this game, I would have needed those guys from the "Cheap Seats" to start talking about their social lives to keep the listening audience rivited. : ;D (before anyone from BC and LCM jump on me, I am just giving ole Gabe a hard time)

Thanks goes out to these fine men and business: UBS/CDM Financial Group Stan Davis Chris Davis Beaumont Bone and Joint Institute Dr. Gene Isabell Allstate Insurance Company Brent Walters Star Graphics Paul Skinner Mike Holland Radley Electric Inc. Terry Radley Great American Medical Supply Chad Benoit Thanks to these folks for making the HJ state tourney broadcast a reality.

Remember, I will be locking this thread at 10pm, Wed. night. Get your brackets filled!

Staying at the Crown Plaza for $69.95 a night!!! Sweet!!!! Thanks Livewire!

Oh, you are entitled to your opinion, Sabine. I just agree with Nos. Also, if you need to throw things in my face to make you feel better, so be it. BTW, Sabine's success or lack of has nothing to do with my smugness of Silsbee. You kid yourself if you think otherwise.

uhhh....I coach at Hardin-Jefferson, I coach basketball, and we play a very fast pace and I still don't think a shot clock should be implemented in high school. I also believe that claiming that Texas is "behind the rest of the nation" in basketball is a putrid attempt at best for an excuse as to why we don't have a shot clock. High school games that use the shot clock are the exception and not the rule for this nation. The games you see on TV are on TV for a reason. They involve kids that Nike, Adidas and the likes are trying to promote. How do you think those TV spots get paid for? The ONLY reason they may use a shot clock in those games (which I still don't ever recall watching Lebron's HS games on TV and seeing a shot clock involved) is because they can afford to have a fourth official there who is qualified to run a shot clock. Train someone to pay attention for an entire game to when the ball hits the rim??? Seriously, and "train" them to not get caught up watching the game but ONLY the ball hitting the rim??? Doubt it. Not at the high school level. You are from a 2A school that I am very familiar with as I used to be a head coach very near there. Ya'll would have just as much trouble finding someone who could keep that clock as any other school (small or large) in the state. GET'EM NOS!!! ;D
