I agree, except for at the QB position, and WW and Silsbee are two different animals. WW football hadn't had a winning football record in a decade before they showed up. Silsbee goes 3-4 rounds deep most years. Silsbee had a really good qb the last few years. But give them a potential all-american with the talent and athleticism they're already lining up, they have the chance to do something they've never done before. Whereas you put another great basketball player on a team that usually has a bunch of great basketball players, and hey, they're doing what they normally do, but a little better.

I understand. And the reason I said what I said is that the basketball team makes it to state all the time. Their odds will greatly increase to go back next year if the Bryants show up, but they have a shot regardless almost year in and year out. Conversely, if you take a football team that has never won state, but has gone 34-6 and won 7 playoff games over the last 3 seasons, and bring in a QB who some talk about as being the best dual-threat qb IN THE COUNTRY for his class... I just tend to think the football team might benefit even more than the basketball team.

when you factor in that HJ only placed 2 players on these teams, half of the rest of the starters in the district got first team or a superlative, with another 15 or so making 2nd. I sure hope there wasn't an honorable mention team for the district this year. I'll have to go back and see if I can find some newspaper clippings, but I'm fairly confident that we honored half this many kids across both the 1st and 2nd teams and honorable mention combined when I played. And I know for dang sure we didn't split any superlatives the seasons I got them. Maybe getting a little older is making me crotchety, but district awards across all sports have gotten out of control. "First team all-district" should be represented by a single player the coaches would pick to start at each position if you made the best 11 possible. The top couple of guys getting superlatives frees up some room to add a couple of more guys to first team. But not half the dang district!

the football team is very good as well. They had a down year last year and went 9-4. adding this family to the district does arguably more for the football team, although it is huge for basketball as well.

Unfortunate for my horns. with what they have coming back and coming up, I felt like they were a favorite to repeat as district champs. If the Bryants transfer in that changes a lot.

i made it clear that any future accounts will be banned the second it's obvious it's him. this was about his 6th account that's been banned.

Nope, I revoked his visa.

I've got to be really careful with what I put on social media, but this is a point I feel strongly, but bite my tongue on. Had the roles been reversed, with Metcalf stabbing Anthony under the exact same circumstances, the same people demanding justice for Anthony now would instead be demanding justice for... Anthony.

been a rough week

Lots of them comparing him to Kyle Rittenhouse. First off, the two cases are nothing alike. Secondly, they told us over and over that he was guilty, so...

the misinformation is appalling. The defense of his behavior is appalling. the complete fabrication of what happened to justify that defense is most appalling. A kid murdered another kid for telling him to leave, and possibly grabbing him by the shoulders. Many on the internet blame the victim. It's insane.

I'm not gonna get too excited just yet. They started last year 6-2, and then stunk it up most of the year.

Best bracket I’ve picked in a long time. 14 of 16 in the sweet 16, 7 of 8 in the elite 8, 3 of 4 in the final four, and a correct final, both teams. If Iowa St had cooperated I would’ve had a perfect bracket from the sweet 16 on. I wouldn’t have minded Houston pulling it off, but I won a little cash in my bracket group.

heck yeah! what a season!

80-90% of Texas high school coaches will never sniff either of these. What's your point?

nah, can't get past the boy cheerleaders. I do like College Station, though!

same on all this. but if Florida can find a way to win it I'll end up with a little spending money from my bracket group.

And I’m pointing out that I employ the same logic as most Aggie fans just did.

That’s not how it works. Just like how if Beard went to college station he’d be embraced there, but Aggy collectively lost its mind when Texas ended up with their baseball coach.

1. Don’t like the idea of an ex-horn going to their biggest rival. 2. as @TxHoops said, he’s one of the best coaches in the country, giving them a better chance to beat the horns.

Pitching was excellent the last two days, thankfully. Can’t score two runs in two games and normally expect one win, much less two.

Was hoping beard didn’t go to aggy.

second straight 1-0 win! Leiter gives them 5 scoreless 1-hit innings, and the bullpen combined to give up 2 hits over 4 to close out the win! The offense better pick it up, but the pitchers, and even the bullpen have been solid so far this year.

Tough when you're putting a lot of hope in a bunch of guys coming off major injuries or with almost no experience in the bigs. Eovaldi is the only starter they have in the rotation right now that has both experience and fairly reasonable health over the last two seasons.
