See what I mean... Big and powerful almighty DFW has 5 million ppl so they deserved by default the biggest and best. What about La-monroe with a student population of 7,000 in a metro population of 172,000, or La-tech or CUSA Southern Miss. Yet this area thinking is to think small, lower expectation, status quo rules while new and innovative stay away, country bumpkiness rules.. Cardinal stadium was 17,000 in the 80's, I dont remember 18,000 fans. Oh wait, a little paint here and a turf field and maybe suites for the rich will bring in those 18,000 while we play Nicholls st.... Your comparisons are very lame. Those are all very well established football programs that have been playing the last 20 years where Lamar has not. You can't really be serious about Lamar being FBS with a new 40,000 seat stadium in what is really considered being a "first year" program after being dead the last 20 years. C'mon UNLV, your comments are very unrealistic and borderline just plain stupid. Yeah, yeah, I know, "stupid is, stupid does" : We are just the meek and weak mental midgets in these parts. : Hey UNLV, "SHOW ME THE MONEY" please!!!! No, your thinking is very limited. There are those who go out and seek greatness. These people know the sky is the limit. These people always shoot to be the best, the first, the most innovative, the people who lead humanity out of caves and into the modern world. Then there are the nay sayers, the can't be doners, the limit builders, the critics of the geat minds, the ones who opposed leaving the caves. Curious, do you think a hog calling contest should be part of LU's halftime show? For the 1,000th time I ask you, please tell me where Lamar is going to get the money to do these big and bold things that you say has to be done for the Lamar football program to be successful? PLEASE LET US ALL KNOW WHERE THAT BIG MONEY IS SO WE CAN LET THE LAMAR OFFICIALS KNOW WHERE TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT!!!! :

Actually, I think Huffman will finish 3rd, but they will be the Div. 1 rep and face Silsbee. Here are my predictions: Div. 1 Silsbee vs. Huffman winner: Silsbee Div. 2 WOS vs. Coldspring winner: WOS Hamshire-Fannett vs. Cleveland winner: Cleveland I agree with that. Two great minds, huh Gas! ;D

Not that it really matters(except for me ;D) but the series is 13-2 with the last Silsbee win in 1998, first round of the playoffs. This is the only time Silsbee and WOS has met in the playoffs, so Silsbee is undefeated against the Stangs in the playoffs. ;D

Please explain to me what you mean by Vidor "plays all their games at home" this year. Vidor Pirates Aug. 29 Beaumont Kelly Sept. 5 Houston St. Thomas Sept. 12 @ Hardin-Jefferson Sept. 19 OPEN Sept. 26 @ Beaumont Central* Oct. 3 Lumberton* Oct. 10 @ Beaumont Ozen* (Babe Zaharias Stadium) Oct. 17 Port Neches-Groves* Oct. 24 @ Little Cypress-Mauriceville* Oct. 31 Nederland* Nov. 7 @ Livingston* Maybe you meant that the tougher games are home games. BTW, they did lose one of those home games.

Wrong. The only time Jasper applied pressure to Johnson was when the bad snaps happened. These were the only times he was "sacked" or dropped for a loss. Jeremy had plenty of time to throw the ball when he got good snaps. I agree that the Jasper secondary played well in coverage, but Jasper only was able to get to Johnson a couple of times. What Jasper's defense did do though was not allow Johnson to break a long run. They kept him contained in that aspect. Like I mentioned before, the 70 or 80 yards of losses from the bad snaps kept Jeremy's rushing stats so low, not the Jasper pressure.

And yet UNLV can't seem to understand this. He wants to put it off on this "Southeast Texas mentality" thing. He can't seem to understand that "Joe College" has $5 in his pocket to spend and not $100. Some how he thinks that $5 will buy he and his date a steak dinner.

???Didn't Vidor play Tuesday evening as well? : I am glad you mentioned that. Yes Vidor did play Tuesday night, all the way to the last seconds of the game. Vidor has players that go both ways also. Lumberton did have the luxury of sitting their starters in the 4th quarter of their game, Vidor didn't as they took a very good Central team to the wire. So, using the "tired" card really doesn't float.

Actually, this is something that Coach Mathews and Vidor does. They did it with Central last Tuesday night and invited Lumberton to join them in prayer Saturday night. Coach Mathews is a strong Christian man and it's a testament to his beliefs. You'll see Vidor continue doing this all season. I think it's great.

Thoughts and prayers to you, Mark.

Offensive Grogan, Nederland 377 yards rushing against Ozen and PNG Defensive Josh James, Silsbee 17 total tackles, 11 unassisted

You bet I'll make a prediction on this game after being questioned by some Lumberton fans as to why I would predict Central to win district. Lumberton 14 Central 32

Don't forget WTB. ;D

This is not a GOTW topic. It is the schedule for BISD broadcast games. The Lumberton-Central game will be broadcast by our Lumberton crew.

I agree with that last statement. Only thing, Jasper will probably win their game, I don't see my Tigers winning their's. I won't be shocked if the Bulldogs go down to Diboll, the Lumberjacks are good.

I figured Todd called the dogs early.

What's up with Benard? He hurt or is it something else?

HJ 85 BC 53 Oh wait, this is football HJ 29 BC 27

I knew you were a honest and straight forward man, Nos. Now as for Lazeek and that brother of your's... ;D

In an upset, the district streak en........ oh who am I kidding... Silsbee 14 WOS 27

Silsbee wins district this year on their way back to Austin. Texprep, wrong again.

WOS Silsbee The rest ( notice the considerable gap, it's worthy ) ( as for "The rest", right now I truely believe the rest are all equal )

This was by far their best defensive effort and their worst offensive output. The Tiger defense did their job, hats off to these guys. They were on the field way more than they should have been. The Tiger offense was at it's worst last night. As you can see by the stats, their rushing yards were very bad. You can attribute that to the many bad snaps that Johnson had to deal with last night. Silsbee had 4 go completely over Johnson's head and at least 7-8 that ran along the ground at Jeremy's feet. All these contributed to several losses of yardage which went against Jeremy's rushing stats. The one when the Tigers were at the Bulldogs's 3 yard line really hurt, ended up being a loss of 25 yards, Silsbee squandered a great scoring opportunity. Silsbee had about 15 rushes that went for negative yards, 12 of those due to the snaps, all coming at critical times. Silsbee would put together several good plays but then shoot themselves in the foot with either a bad snap or a ill timely penalty. It was just way too many mistakes on the Tiger's part that kept their offense from getting any kind of rhythm going. The passing game was a little off, as Jeremy over threw or threw behind his receivers and the Tiger receivers dropped a few. The Tiger o-line protected Johnson very well, but the timing was definitely off. The Jasper secondary had something to do with that along with the frustration that the Tiger's were experiencing from their own mistakes. All in all, a very poor performance from the Silsbee offense. I very rarely discredit a team for winning a game, but in this case, this was more of Silsbee losing the game and Jasper being the beneficiary. Tough, tough loss.

Also, it won't be long before we will celebrate Coop's first birthday here on the site. (that's web time)
