    I have actually seen HJ this year, and i can vouch for their classiness. In fact, even though "classing up" the uniforms was a nice touch, I think they are hding them back on the field. The tuxedos restrict flexibility, especially when throwing the ball and tackling. Also, it seems like an inordinate amount of time is wasted with "equipment time outs" while players search for monocles between plays. Maybe only players who need glasses should be required to wear them? 
    In some ways, it does improve sportsmanship, but it also dulls some of the aggressiveness that is NECESSARY. Yes, telling your opponent, "That was a dandy run, friend," is sportsman like and even quaint and endearing. But requiring your players to say "Many pardons" every time they slip through the line or break a tackle quenches that competitive fire. 
    I don't mind being required to wear a jacket to the concession stand, but I don't like being called "riff raff" when I order a link and popcorn. I don't carry enough cash for caviar or escargot, and wine and cheese are hard to enjoy in the stands. I also have to protest the parking being valet only - especially when the man at the podium tells the valet to park my truck "in the nearest body of water."
    I enjoyed HJ's halftime show, but I felt bad for the kid marching with the cello and the nine kids who had to carry the piano and the pianist all over a muddy field. I hope the girl who fell off of the piano is OK. That was scary. There were sequins everywhere.
    The chandelier over the field is beautiful, but the rigging holding it up is bound to cost a fortune.
    And "Puttin' on the Ritz" is a weird choice for a fight song.

    I still respect Silsbee, always will. I ALWAYS pull for Silsbee come playoff time. But, you blame the WOS fan base for the (more than usual) talk that's gone on. You may want to go back to some things said this summer by Silsbee folks if you want to trace it to it's origin. I think several Silsbee fans understand that. Like I tell my kids... When you open your mouth in haste, be prepared for the backlash to follow... You don't get to choose how that will go. After this game, I believe things will get back to normal.

    Yes this is so true, and I'm not getting ahead of myself but, Kennedale, has a running back #5 he is a beast. We will need to bring our "A" game to beat them. Even though they the (Wildcats) have lost a game they seem to be peaking right now. Silsbee will score next week as well IMO. Right now WO-S needs a challenge for our future run heading to the playoffs.

    The outcome was decided when this game was scheduled. I will give you credit for starting the excuse-making before kickoff though.

    Absolutely true. The excessive number of cops on the visitor's side and a particular incident a few years ago when one of our fans was escorted out just for being "too loud" prove your point.
