I could see Buna being a good fit for him, depending on what he wanted to do. I've heard very little about who's applied for this one, so who knows.

He worked at HF for a year or two previously. Shame we can't offer him a better paycheck...

I guess if Harvard should allow Hamas supporters to do it, you'd be all in favor of the Klan camping out in front of the LBJ library for weeks heckling and threatening any minorities who happened to walk by in need of using the library. I don't believe you on this one. On free speech, sure. But taking over campuses? You're being disingenuous. There's no way in hell you'd support a radical movement that differed from your beliefs taking over a square or area of campus for days/weeks at a time, and support their right to harass, intimidate, and disrupt, all in the name of free speech.

The majority of the crap he catches on here is a result of the nonsensical posts from his groupies, not the energy he brings. One district championship and a handful of you guys started inserting him into every conversation about elite coaches or elite job openings that came up. Never seen anything like it on this site for another coach. The last four years have at least calmed some of that down. But to get back on topic: I personally don't see Silsbee hiring a guy who coaches a completely different style than what they run, and has had minimal success against them.

what exactly does it take to be considered a "winner". I'll agree that he's improved Lumberton some, and I'll agree that being there means limited resources some years. I don't think he's a loser, and I don't think he's a bad coach. But does one district championship over the course of a career define him more than all the other results?

FIFY

HF isn't mad.

Would the Panthers or the Klan be able to create camps in the middle of public universities and protest for days on end?

"a war" and massacring 1,200 innocents (with many rapes and kidnappings thrown in) are two different things.

would you take exception to white supremacist protestors being allowed to take over at UT, disrupting learning and threatening minorities? or would you support it? And would you support UT faculty allowing, and even leading those protests? I mean, it's freedom of speech, after all.

If it's who I think, then I can't see that one happening.

your nose tackle is one guy. a linebacker is one guy. your average wide receiver is one guy. but an elite dual threat qb is the "one guy" who can literally take over a game by himself, assuming he has a halfway decent line in front of him. he was worth about 7 extra wins a year for WW. What would he do for a silsbee team that went 3-4 rounds deep the last 3 years?

my little cousin plays over there.

Wimberly is open. Warren is retiring.

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.
