i guess silsbee was tired of those close games with OF. what a huge win!

what a win for spurger!

we got a important player comin bak??????so we will win tonite no doubt if one player makes that big of a difference, ya'll are going to have trouble making the playoffs...

should be a good one... Ozen has to be a slight favorite in this one, but i'd love to see my hawks get a win...

Gumbo 1 My Stomach 0 I think Gumbo takes it, but not until the middle of the night, after I've fallen asleep and let my guard down. Oh, wait, this is the nederland/vidor thread. I'll take somebody by 1. Either team, it's tough to tell. Vidor is scrappy, and seems to find ways to win games, but Nederland really needs this win. Good luck to both teams.

I won't, but I'm pretty sure he's psychic (or has a tap on my phoneline)

The refs were bad... so what? They made bad calls both ways. I've heard griping about a discrepancy in the foul count, and how HJ shot more freethrows. OF chose to slow the ball down and play a very conservative and slow-moving offense. The advantage of this: it keeps the score low, and keeps the hawks from running. The disadvantage: fewer freethrows. I promise you if OF had decided to play at the type of pace the hawks wanted to play, the bobcats would've been to the line much more. Of course, they probably would've lost by 20. I say congrats to the Bobcats coaching staff for finding a gameplan that worked and sticking with it. Being even slightly critical of a coaching staff which led their team to a 2-point loss to the defending state champions (and with a shot to win it at the end, no less) seems pretty silly. I think it's also silly to use the refs as excuses. When the hawk fans did it earlier in the year, they caught tons of grief for it, and by all accounts the officiating there was much worse than in this game. There is no reason for it be excusable now for OF fans to blame the refs. You had your chance to win, and didn't get it done, but you made a damn fine run at it. Be proud of the result, and of your boys, and quit looking for people to blame for the loss. You got beat by a better team, but you sure made things interesting!

I don't think Ozen (if they even play them), will struggle all that much against them.

maybe instead of changing grades, DISD should worry about changing principals...

i finally saw a replay of dempsey's goal, and he looked to be barely leaning offsides before he came back and received the ball.

i certainly won't argue that statement.

hey dick, i heard from a very good source that he's leaning towards the Brook. you better save that steak dinner for his parents

waco, lubbock... i thought that was the same place . you're right though. baylor's outlook is good right now.

Baylor picked up a huge win in lubbock last night to move to 5-2 in the big 12, and 17-4 overall. this is one of those wins that is crucial for getting into the big dance. TT is a pretty good team, and these are the types of wins that Baylor really needs. there's a ton of talent at the top of the Big 12 this year, and baylor won't find many more wins there. If they can keep beating the middle of the pack and the bottom feeders, they should end the season with enough wins, and enough wins against decent opponents, to make it to march madness.

this was a nice win for the horns. the sooners are a really solid team.

and lance had a very successful college career, i might add. it's weird seeing someone on ESPN that you were playing against in 6-pack a few months before. so how is denver's team?

it was insanely loud in there, and they couldn't hear him. it also appeared on a couple of them that the guys were new to the team and were having trouble understanding exactly what howard wanted with his hand signals. i think also he was already pissed off because the US conceded about 7 free kicks from right outside the box, and about half of them were dives, and the other half were a result of bad defending from the outside backs.

i'm having trouble figuring out why he kept all of this trash for so long, unless he was planning on doing just what he's doing, or maybe blackmailing roger. i'm also curious to see just what can be proved by testing this stuff after this length of time. how can you prove it hasn't been tampered with? i just don't see how this stuff is going to be considered viable evidence, but i guess we'll see.

yup, and what's sad is the talent they've traded away the last few years to get bad pitching. wouldn't mind having chris young back. adrian gonzales, maybe. what about carlos pena? to the rangers' credit, all the deals that they made last season are going to be beneficial to the organization. maybe nolan will come in and help turn things around. then again, maybe he'll neglect the program and spend all of his time making commercials.

ok, it's now official. shaq is a sun. i think the heat definitely got the better end of this deal, unless shaq get's hip replacement surgery in the offseason.

Yup, i think that will make all the difference. Hawks by 12.

my take from the game, having actually been there at field level... first off, what a phenomenal atmosphere. the mexico fans outnumbered up about 15-1, but they really livened things up. the score could've been 2-0 at halftime. gooch's header was amazing, and jozy's finish was nice. dempsey's goal could've counted (i couldn't tell), and mexico's 1st half goal came off a ridiculous call leading to a set piece. the final could've been 3-1. that being said, the US was outclassed the entire game. mexico dominated about 75 minutes of the game, and killed us on the outside. convey was terrible, moor was bad, and corrales killed us all night. Mexico had an option down the line every time they touched the ball. there was no connection between our forwards and midfield, and every time mexico got the ball, they took it right down the field and were able to attack. The US just sent long balls up the middle the entire night, and it wasn't very effective. we had basically no good chances in the second half. ricardo clark also looked bad in the midfield. benny should've been in the whole game, and maurice edu should've seen the field sooner. when they came in, the US looked a little better. Tim Howard had a really nice game, and Jozy looked pretty good up front considering his lack of experience. Donovan had an up and down game. Gooch and Bocanegra were solid in the back. The US needs to improve a lot. It didn't help that the ref called a terrible game. He was so blatantly biased against the United States that even had they played better they would've had trouble getting a win. All in all, the US was very fortunate to finish with this result. Even though they clearly SHOULD have won, they didn't deserve to even tie. But what an experience!

shaq has no upside. the suns will be hurting if he keeps missing games at the rate he has been. i agree that parting with marion may be a good move for team chemistry, but shaq is a poor choice. anywho, it's fine by me. anything that may potentially hurt the suns is good for the mavs and the rockets.
