Rangers started off really hot and have been pretty mediocre, since. If the bats ever get it together they're going to be pretty tough to beat, though. Pitching has been pretty good, other than Rocker, who needs to be out of the rotation at this point. Bats have been pretty anemic.

Oh I get it, all the venom is welcomed to get spewed at BH here, that's all good, but if anyone dares to post anything positive about BH then you think its a problem and you call them out. Got it. 

you nailed it! Or maybe you're just too close to the situation to see the irony of BH folks on here trying to tell everyone y'all don't think you're better than them only for Stevie to make this post

Remember merthiolate for the scrapes?  It hurt worse than the scrape, lol.

Never tried this, but my father-in-law put campho phenique on a cut i got at the beach one time and I swore i'd never trust him again.

I turned 42 Easter Sunday.

Just curious.

Shocker BH an A and GCCISD right on the B/C line.  So academics, community support, and athletics are all superior at BH so why would BH concern itself with Baytown again?  Why would anyone in Baytown with the means not move their kids to BH? Seems like an easy answer for any parent. 

also, why would anyone read that report and think "i better get on the website and rub this in!" that mindset might be the reason some people feel the way they do about the hill.

Historically this program has great tradition, Mitchell could get them back to where they were if he doesn't get the silsbee job.

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 is just a basketball coach looking to advance his career in basketball.

English is not leaving Nederland just yet so the head basketball coach position is not open for Bryant to apply for.

Bryant will not go to Nederland and bring his sons without being the head basketball coach.

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

Today? Probably. 

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.

he’s the only coach that has brought lumberton to the playoffs and he’s been 2 time coach of the year at lumberton which we all know is one of the worse basketball schools in Texas. He won at dville(terrible basketball school), spurger(pretty good b-ball school back in the day), and now lumberton. He’s competitive every where he goes. This is always a dumb convo that goes in a circle because yall don’t like the energy he brings and what he expects out of the players. He coaches hard and you don’t like that. 
 

Silsbee was healthy that game from what I remember. Same Silsbee team that beat Yates the same year. 

 

 

 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.

I just don’t think he can run that system at lumberton. He’s been the only coach that has been successful at lumberton. I don’t understand the flack this guy gets constantly when he’s proven to be a winner. 

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?

Getting some conflicting word on who has applied.

I do know this. Bryant is no longer in the running for the job. Couldn't come to an agreement.

HF isn't mad.

It’s not approval. It’s a right of freedom. The ACLU defended Panthers, it also defended the Klan. That’s what we stand for. Unfortunately President Weasel doesn’t see it that way.

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

Not agreeing with a war and being approving of white supremacists are two different things

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

I side with academic freedom and freedom of speech, not the politicization of such.  I sided with the rights of the Charlottesville haters until they started running over people. What’s your beef?

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.

QB position is the most important position and can effect the game a lot especially if it's a dual threat QB. But it's still just one guy. And accolades aren't doing anything for you once that whistle blows 

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.

Football is an 11 man sport. Basketball is a 5 man sport. 1 or 2 guys will make a lot bigger difference in basketball than it will in football. That's why WW won more playoff games in basketball than football with Bryant. 

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.

The reason I said basketball is because Silsbee is a known basketball town. But yes they will help the football team as well.

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!

I do agree with you that they will make Silsbee better in both football and basketball. Which is very scary with how good Silsbee already is in basketball.

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.
