at the half, Baylor down 10

on a positive note, i have a confirmed date to wrestle/spar with marcus over spring break! i'm pretty excited. i've never been badly beaten by a professional fighter before!

i was glad to see they got a 14 instead of a 16. at least they have a slim chance at an upset.

Baylor started out well, but they're falling behind a bit. they're down 27-17 with 10 minutes left in the first half.

you're right, and this is the wrong thread to discuss it, so let's just leave it at this... moving it to another old, equally unsuitable building is not much.

knock knock...

i wish they'd build us a pre-k friendly head start building instead...

i did, as did MC Fan, but it's over and done with. i've apologized, and coach has explained himself, so it's all good.

A) I didn't know you were a coach. it wouldn't have affected my response if i had known C) the difference was that i was referring to you as a poster, not a coach (For instance, had i said "that coach from LCM is terrible. what a jackass! he should be fired!!!", then my post would be deletable) D) it's obvious you can coach due to the success your program is having this year, so there's no need to believe i'm criticizing your coaching ability E) i'm sure that your response was a joke, and i took it out of context. my bad. F) can't make it Thursday, but I don't believe that you are generally a jackass, so no worries there.

my 10-point buck field dressed at 90 lbs... he had an eating disorder!

i felt like you were being a jackass to me... if you were, i don't really care what others think about you. if that wasn't your intention, my sincerest apologies. as a coach, one who teaches, i figured your answer to my original question would've been more like "yes, we're playing them there because we lost a coinflip" rather than what felt like a sarcastic remark. again, if that was not your intention, my apologies. not being a coach of HS soccer, i felt like my question was reasonable. i haven't played HS soccer in nearly 10 years, and i don't have children playing HS soccer, so i could not remember the policies for soccer playoff games. i've been following basketball playoffs recently, and all of those games were at neutral sites.

wow, that's a pretty crazy result

i love masters week, but it doesn't have anything on march madness.

indeed. i didn't sign away the right to speak my mind when i became one, either.

congrats!!!

So that means that Silsbee could be one of the only school in SETX who has ever had a #1 national ranking in a athletic sport....... Could be. HOwever, you must remember it is just 3-a and from a weak region. and in America, it's a pretty irrelevant sport.

no need to be a jackass about it, i was just asking. i just figured they would look for neutral sites.

way to go!

7/10 games with solid teams from two major conferences, 8/9 games with a solid big conference team against a great mid-major, traditional powers with lower seeds to possibly upset and make deep runs, no clear-cut favorite to win it all... i don't even know where to start.

he went to a great school, but his timing was bad. he left a program on a major upswing to go to a traditional power that has been on a steady decline for a few years. if he can right the ship next season, however, and he can become successful at basketball U, and have an extended successful run there, he'll have an opportunity to be remembered as a great coach. if it doesn't work out, he should have no trouble finding another good job at another good basketball school.

duh!

its not about having a back bone its about helping kids. coaches get to caught into winning so much they forget the real reason they became a coach your argument is backwards. if it's not about winning, and it's about helping the kids, you'd let kids go unpunished so that they can continue to play basketball? you're saying he's too worried about winning because he'd kick a troublemaker off the team??? kicking a kid off the team or suspending him is one of the best things that can happen to a young man going down the wrong path. if he loves basketball and his team enough, he'll straighten up. he'll learn that his actions have consequences, and that being 6'9" or having a sweet jumpshot does not make up for acting like a fool off the court. "helping" a kid by letting him get away with things and keeping him on the team will just reinforce the belief that he is above the rules because he's a good ballplayer. that is very understandable but what happens when you go to kick him off or suspend a player for a game, the people above you step in and stop it everytime cuz they know what the kid would be doing if he wasnt playing basketball yeah right. the only reason they stop it is to keep him on the team so they will keep winning. you honestly think anyone out there says "well, he's getting in trouble all the time, but imagine how much trouble he'll get in if we kick him off the team. let's keep him in the program for his sake!" no way that happens. he stays because he can ball, and that's it. if he's not very good, he's off the team.

Bingo. nothing like it. the only sporting event i like more is the World Cup. it's like march madness for soccer fans, but it only comes every four years.

Houston Rockets forward Carl Landry was treated at a Houston hospital and released after being shot in the leg Tuesday morning. Police said Landry, 25, was shot near downtown early Tuesday morning.
