[quote name="ARSENAL" post="792487" timestamp="1271806614"] bullets what team you on in open co-ed? [/quote] average joes.  you?

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="792395" timestamp="1271794547"] That is a possibiity.  Just a difference in 15 year olds playing 29 hahah.  Long as we keep it laid back.  NOT GOING TO BE exactly like a six a side league.  small field .. big goals.  Keepers get more action and harder.  More scoring.. (the american way) ;)... heck we may have a three point shot... We want it to be fast, fun, and safe.  and maybe actually improve [/quote] sounds good.  in our open league we play co-ed against 16 year olds of both sexes, and it's fine. 

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="792345" timestamp="1271781386"] I am looking at having a small sided soccer league played at Kelly starting around May 1st.  Looking for high school players wanting to participate.  Maybe each high school gets a team or two.  Depending on the response on what days we play.  We will play the games around 530 and 630.  Girls also.  If we get enough girls teams and if not maybe co-ed.  Goals will be full side so great training for keepers.  The cost will be minimal and need waiver signed for insurance purposes.  Message me on here or call me on my cell phone.  409 719 2787 if any questions.  [/quote] if you don't get enough high schoolers for it, i know plenty of older guys (19-30) who would love to play in something like this.

i've made it pretty clear in other posts that i don't like this guy, but that being said, i doubt very seriously he's having to do any "recruiting" to get these players to transfer.  what 17-year-old basketball stud from houston wouldn't want to play for the best basketball program in the nation, especially when it's basically in his backyard?  the fault here lies with UIL rules, not with coach wise. 

i think some of the rules of the PGA need to be fixed.  I certainly admire the honesty of these golfers, but the fact that they had to make such a sacrifice over such petty infractions is pretty dumb.  i can understand turning in an incorrect score card being a reason for a penalty, but not for signing a score card that your playing partner had marked incorrectly.  it's just too rigid for me.  he loses a shot at a playoff because he nicked a weed on his way up on his backswing?  the contact was so minimal it could only be seen in slow motion?  who gives a crap then?

[quote name="PNGFan" post="791968" timestamp="1271693748"] [quote author=SFA85 link=topic=68741.msg791880#msg791880 date=1271680052] I know when the district merge and how long each school existed.  I blame those who were in power when Beaumont had 2 school districts and after the merger.  It is what it is.  Back on topic:  Congrats to CBT making those haters mad..... [/quote] If CBT was white, your whole attitude would be different. [/quote] If CBT was white then he'd be the "hater".

it's cheating.  still, the refs should catch it, and if it happens more than maybe once, the opposing coach should catch it as well.

[quote name="Rebel2" post="791754" timestamp="1271617462"] There is no doubt that its is a step below those leagues, but a quick drive to Houston is cheaper then flying to England to see a game.  Plus the air over there is full of volcanic ash..........lol [/quote] i hear you.  i went over and watched them play real salt lake in their home opener.  it was a fun experience.  there's not a bad seat in robertson stadium.  hopefully that will stand true in their new stadium as well.

[quote name="sig220" post="791698" timestamp="1271599436"] How about selling the naming rights and using the money for the athletic program? [/quote] would've been a good way to pay for that million dollar scoreboard...

i still have trouble watching MLS, although it's getting better every year.  to me, when you compare it EPL, Serie-A, and La Liga, it's kind of like watching a minor league game.  I want to like it, but i just can't get into it.  That being said, it's done a lot for our USMNT, which is definitely a good thing. 

52-3... wow.

We'll probably reel off 6 or 7 straight. ::) [/quote] i thought they might make it 2 straight, until the cubs reeled off 6 straight runs in the 7th inning today...

[/quote] That's interesting.  I can't remember which game it was but it was an away game where the opposing team was obviously taking their time subbing in and out while trying to protect their lead, keeper taking time shagging ball, defender kicking ball to the stands, that the center ref said he was adding so many minutes of play to the game which makes me wonder, was this an unusual event?  Do local refs do that or have the discretion to do it?    [/quote] [b]I have seen refs stop the clock when teams attempt to that, but i dont know that i have every actually seen refs add times[/b] [/quote] ditto.

i've seen some of that in a few of these award threads, but not in this case.  Washburn was nominated by frogger, who's identity i am not at liberty to reveal, but i can assure you that person has no vested interests in nominating her.  then washburn's mom chimed in to comment.  That's a far cry from her mom getting on here and starting a thread to convince everyone that her child deserves an award.  This comment might have merit, but not in this thread.  I'm also in agreeance with a certain post that i had to delete in reference to the fact that in MANY sports of many classifications a comeback player of the year is given.  there's no reason not to give one here.  

now 5-3, should be 7-1 if not for two blown saves by francisco.  they've got a tough schedule coming up.  they finish with cleveland tmorrow, then have 3 @ the yankees, 3 @ the red sox, and then three @ home against the tigers.  if they can go 4-5 over that span, i'll be happy.  anything better than that is a bonus.

[quote name="hj_hawk_60" post="789719" timestamp="1271191887"] Bullets, I know the way this is set up does make a popularity contest a possibility. We could work on a different format for next year, but I feel that there needs to be some kind of recognition given to the local soccer players like that given to football, basketball, and baseball. [/quote] i absolutely agree.  i think it's great what you're doing.  i just figured i'd take the time to at least ASK the people to do their best not to make it a popularity contest.

[quote name="Rebel2" post="789532" timestamp="1271160848"] Bullets13000, I do believe it makes a difference.  The 3A and 4A girls play in the same district and have enrollments that are closer then the big 5A schools.  If the keeper for WB only allowed a couple of goals in her district then by all means she should be the 5A top keeper of the area.  Just name another one for all the 4/3A teams that played one another in district. [/quote] that's what all-district is for.  this is the all-setx team.  it would be pointless to make a separate team for 5A considering there's only what, two 5A schools in our area?  I can kind of see where you're coming from, but it really doesn't work in this situation.

[quote name="Frogger09" post="789340" timestamp="1271117172"] [quote author=rip2506 link=topic=68500.msg789319#msg789319 date=1271113829] [quote author=Newbie link=topic=68500.msg789316#msg789316 date=1271112307] The results just prove there are more Lumberton supporters on this forum than any other team. No contest. [/quote] that cracked me up...... I am still laughing. That's cool, if they out man us then they have the right to win the contest. I am still laughing!!!!! [/quote] I'm gonna have to agree! I just looked on every poll, and on each where there was a lumberton player she was either in the lead or 2nd highest! Funny stuff! [/quote] exactly what i was trying to address in my post on the thread about the all-setx nominations.

down 5-0 now, looks like another loss, and possibly another shutout for the stros.  if they don't score, this will be their 7th loss in a row to start the season, and also the 3rd time they've been shut out in those 7 games.  they've also had a game with only 1 run, and a game with only 2.  they better figure out a way to jumpstart their anemic offense!

there's a reason why several of the other sports do not consider fan voting in making their all-setx teams, as well as when they do rankings.  it ought to be pretty evident why based on the results of several of the polls so far.  unfortunately, there are only two (well, now four) moderators who spend any time in this forum at all, which is nowhere near enough to get a fair amount of opinions in picking a team.  this means we're relying on you, the fan, to be fair in your voting.  this is not a popularity contest, and it's not about voting for all of the people that go to your school or your child's school.  vote for the best player, and if you don't know much about a particular group of kids, don't vote at all in that category. 

[quote name="Rebel2" post="789096" timestamp="1271072789"] I don't think a 5A keeper should be included in the list with the 4A teams.  As far as the 5A keeper shutting out the 4A teams, big deal.  They are biggers schools and should beat the 4A teams. [/quote] She also allowed something like 2 goals in district against 5A schools.  She shouldn't be excluded from this list.  In fact, the current leader in votes right now plays for a 3A team.  These lists aren't about classification, but about performance.

YES, that includes PNG, Nederland, Lumberton.  Just sayin...... [/quote] When PNG and WB played PNG actually scored twice, [b]but both goals were taken away[/b]. I understand that they did not count and someone will probably have something to say about this.. but the ball did hit the back of the net. Tatum Crochet should be added to this list. She only allowed one goal in district play. [/quote]   so they didn't score?  ;D

Frank "I suck this year" Francisco blew his second save opportunity in a row, as the Rangers lost 4-3 today after leading 3-1 going into the 9th.  The rangers are 2-3, but should be 4-1.  They've missed a really good opportunity to have a wonderful start to the season.
