not this year, but they've definitely closed the gap.

I know when i played football, i didn't know a single kid who did it. I also didn't know how to get them (not that i tried). I'd be surprised to find out that this is that big of a problem in high school sports. I'm sure it occurs, but not like it does at higher levels where the pressure to perform is so much greater. I'm kind of inclined to agree with the bandit. We're going to spend a lot of money to catch very few offenders.

out of curiosity, how does one become a moderator on here?

. i'm scared of coop. he never sleeps!

if the yanks had lost, and all four series ended in a sweep, would that have been the first time it had happened?

he said they were average, i did not. i just asked him if we should change the name of the game. i think it's two pretty good teams that could make for a very good game.

In response to West Brook being ranked higher than Nederland, that's a toss-up to me. Being in different classifications, it's tough enough to put them in the same poll... west brook would beat nederland heads up, IMO, but it's kind of like comparing apples to oranges. you have the heads of two different classes, so i just put the undefeated one on top. if someone came out with a different poll and put WB on top, i wouldn't blink. Also, in response to wrcom, i put PNG at 3 because i felt that their losses were more impressive than some of the other teams wins. i stated before that 3-5 could flipflop around pretty easily also, feel free to cut and paste and change it up to show how you feel it should be.

i'm not going to rank ya'll higher based on what ya'll did last year. i know ya'll are better than your record indicates, but i tried to be fair. no way do i rank you above undefeated nederland or the brook, or lumberton, who beat you and is undefeated. PNG, Central, PAM could all be swapped around there, and maybe lumberton moved up, but i can't justify putting dayton in the top five with a 2-3 record, and no district wins against the top half of the district. that being said, there is NO doubt in my mind that dayton will be competitive the rest of the year, and is capable of beating any team in the district on any friday. if ya'll knock off some of the teams ahead of you, you'll certainly go up in my opinion, and keep in mind this is only my opinion. there were a lot of complaints about the SETX rankings, so i simply created my own. how do you see it (and please justify your response). I'll respect any educated opinion.

I'm all over the place on here

so should we change it from the cat bowl to the litter box?

he never had any. he's making ridiculous statements all over the site.

yeah right. my karma would go up in flames

my pleasure

the dog drives me nuts

undefeated at this point means nothing if the quality of opponents isn't there. sometimes a 7 point loss can be more impressive than a 40 point win.

he's cocky for a reason. the point of this forum is not to talk badly of individual players. you seem to be full of opinions, but you're ignoring the facts... HJ is bringing back a lot of quality players. they lost ryan, but they've got people ready to step up and fill his shoes (as much as anyone could hope to). They're the DEFENDING STATE CHAMPIONS. anyone who counts them out before a game is played is out of their mind. Silsbee may beat HJ this year, but to guarantee it now is ignorant. why don't you wait to see a game before you spout off about how slow and terrible HJ is. you might be surprised.

i'm tired of seeing kids with the whole world in front of them throwing it away for an easy buck.

they're always competitive.

yup, i don't see the commitment to the school... one year and run. granted, i don't blame him for leaving, but i don't think he deserves to have his jersey retired. there's more to getting your jersey retired than just being a good player. i think commitment to your team and school, and also what you've done for that school should play a role. what did durant do? he had a great season, gave us all hope that he would return, and then took the money and ran.

COOP, do you ever sleep? ;D

this is almost an impossible question to answer. every school/school district has different expectations out of a head coach. some coaches may have to win district every year, while some may only be expected to treat the kids right and sneak out a few wins. There is no particular standard that every coach/AD is held to... like titan said, the community will let you know when it's time.

why are the two star running backs still in the game with a 42 point lead? i don't know about the backup situation, but it seems like a waste to have a star running back hurt late in the fourth quarter with that big of a lead.
