On a positive note: rain SHOULD be cleared up by game time. Both teams on a turf field which takes mud and muck out of the equation and I have a nice “blanky” to keep the wind and cold off. Not sure how the BC Fans see this game ending, cuz most are keeping radio silence so they don’t have to take a chance of rebuttal afterwards. Raider fans mostly calling for a close one. I just wish they were playing in Bridge City. Last year they gave away a freakin hog trap instead of the normal “split the pot”. I need one for my deer lease. I heard this year they gave away a mostly complete partially used set of dishes and a gift card to the Dollar General. Maybe next year...

Few... I would say he means roughly 2 or 3 TD’s. TD’s referring to Touchdowns. Depending on PAT success, that would translate anywhere from 12 to 24 points. Therefore, I think he’s saying Huffman beats Splendora by the above-mentioned spread. He’s saying Splendora will lose.

I don’t know the answer to that. I’m saying that “on paper”, it looks like HH has the advantage over Splendora (record, common opponents, least points scored in a game, etc.) There are “match up” factors though. If Splendora’s players, style of play, coaching decisions, injuries on HH team, and any other factors that can expose a HH weakness can turn the table it could mean a win for Splendora. If I had a wish it would be for a Splendora win. If I had a $100 to bet on it, I would put my green on Huffman. Basically everything I said DMS. 🤫

I don’t know this poster, but there a lot of truths above. Certainly there are some other factors, but without the points above, a program will not reach its potential. Imo.

I’m not saying it’s a shocker, but I will say last year is last year... On paper it’s Huffman Hargrave who beat Liberty 34-7; whereas Splendora squeaked out a win against Liberty 16-14. Lumberton beat them last year too. Not this year though. Huffman is a pretty good team. I’ve seen Splendora too. Not bad. It’s all about the matchup. Huffman 31 Splendora 21. I would love it if Splendora won and shook up the DC race a little though.

Excellent post. Couldn’t have said it any better!

Gotta chance of sprinkles

So true...sad.

Unfortunately If BC wins the coach will get blamed and the school board will get calls. That’s a fact!

Soooo...no more Lumberton or Bridge City faithful wanna weigh in on this one???

Go to Scott, La. Might not make it home in time for supper, but you can eat it on the way! Billy's, The Best Stop or Don's...can't go wrong with any of them. I like Billy's. Their cracklins are freakin good too! And the Cajun Boudin eggroll w/ jack cheese. I'm drooling...

Agreed. I forgot about that. And their boudin was off the chain... Gonna miss that boudin.

Pretty good team! Won't make it past Carthage though. I hope the best for them. If they become the DC, maybe they'll get a good 1st round draw and get lucky on the 2nd round. Good luck to them.

Y'all are right. Depends on your starting point though. I can see a coach needing a 2 season "buffer" if the situation is pretty bad...

You're probably right. But the 1/2 that stayed would end up making a helluva team. Then once the winning begins, the players will come...

No doubt.

Vomit

Maybe not entirely, but you tryin to tell me Durley or Dan Hooks couldn’t have turned any of those teams around?

Gotta try it. Thx!

Be nice. He may have a learning disability.

Exactly! You beat me to it...

Well, the game is over. I've shut down Boreessentials weak sobbings with my superior skills of debate and argumentation , and now Raidergirl2010 has taken to attacking the Lions disc jockey. Lol. I guess this topic is through. So RaiderGirl, start off the thread for the Raiders next game, so we can get on with POing the next group of unsuspecting posters!...

Something I really love is Sausage. Pan sausage, Breakfast sausage links and my ever favorite, smoked "rope" sausage. What's y'all's favorite? I'm mainly talking about the store bought variety, but go ahead and tell us what you like. I really like Harrington's (Medium, Spicy, green onion, creole, you name it...) in Gumbo, on the smoker, in the oven, it's all good!. I love me some Zummo's links too, but never in gumbo - on a grill/smoker or in a skillet. Beasley's is good too! We've got a lot of local smokehouses that put out some good stuff. Surprisingly enough, Market Basket makes a variety of REALLY good sausage! Never really cared for an "Eckrich" style sausage. To each his own... What y'all got?

1.When did I say I was expecting a "blowout"? I expected Lumberton to win by 2+ scores - that was my exact post - they did! I've never said anything about a DC either. Ever. 2. I already posted that I was surprised and that Livingston should not be losing the way they are - they have improved quite a bit; however, I wouldn't say they've stood toe to toe in district. They've come a long way but still have a ways to go. 3. That's a silly argument - woulda coulda shoulda. There were lots of things that Livingston didn't do that, if they had, they would have won the ballgame. They didn't. End of story. Stop making excuses and fix it for next week. That goes for Livingston, Lumberton, Texas A & M, the Dallas Cowboys, (insert any other imperfect team here), etc. Fix it and getter netter down the road. I doubt losing to Livingston would be the call for a new head coach. Unless you think your team is really that horrendous. Because I don't. Maybe you ought to worry about Livingston and their coaching staff instead of pointing fingers in someone else's backyard. 4. I agree. There is light at the end of the tunnel. So quit making excuses for losing and keep getting better. 5. I don't know what you mean that "this may be (Lumberton's) best". But whatever it means, refer to the point in number 3. Stop pointing fingers when you've got as many or more problems in your own backyard. If you had higher expectations of your team other than making it to the game on time on Friday night, you might realize some disappoint too. Problem is, you're happy with a 2-8 season and spreading around excuses as to why you can't get better. Sad... By the way, l did like the use of the word "obtuse" at the start of your harangue. It didn't really apply, but it was a nice way to start your rant of excuses for the Lions and hatred for the Raiders.

You are right. Don’t let your guard down. But I believe Livingston lacks the discipline and coaching to beat a quality team. LC-M by 2+ scores.
