I just want to seriously discuss the fan base, not all, but most of that of png is on the verge of disgusting. First off prayers to RJ. I never wanted to see the kid hurt, shook up and battered yes, but never hurt. Now, you so called pride, honor, and tradition people need to go have a seat!!! Bottom line, your team got donkey stomped by a real team. What??? Ohhhh no cupcake padders this year??? The excuses or problems you now see was predicted at the end of last year!! That prediction and reality is PNG IS NOT GOOD!!! The kids can only do so much, but this is the reality you face when you thump on your chest like you a powerhouse when actually you just an ordinary non talented entity behind the green curtain. Myself and others stated once Riggs left, the passing game will struggle against a non cupcake team. I can see why some are voicing him to sit, but that kid don’t want to hear that nor should you be saying it. He wants to enjoy playing football. Just because he has all these rankings etc... doesn’t translate to automatic playing time in college NOR GUARANTEE HE WILL PLAY QB AT THE NEXT LEVEL. Let him enjoy and encourage him to getting back on the field. Again heal up RJ. PNG fans, some of u are ridiculous smh... I remember many saying this team was special roflmao... now it’s a dumpster fire roflmao

I think he did to a certain extent. It’s not just about eyeing up talent... size and speed. It’s also about judging the work ethic and commitment of the group. It’s obvious to people familiar with the program that the team hasn’t been willing to do their part. Of course some have, but across the board it’s a “no.”  
If you’re a player that waits until two-a-days to get serious, you’re setting yourself and the team up for a big failure.  If you do that for a few years, you’ll end up with a disastrous high school career.  
Some dudes just want a letterman jacket.  
 

If HJ wins this one, I guess I'll be a Hawk fan for a while. 

Bridge City by 10.  
 
I mean, we’ll be back to Bridge City by 10 if we leave after halftime. 

Jasper by 3+ TDs

You are definitely correct, but it is still somewhat suprising.  It will definitely create more chatter until wos shows its teeth!

Wos getting shut out. Unheard of.

KFDM is reporting it as a 6-0 vote with 1 abstention.

Russians posing as Chinese?

High School football!!
Prayers for a safe year for all teams. Let’s all go out and represent SETX proudly.
Let us know how your teams are looking. I’ll be watching Silsbee this morning and Lumberton this evening.

Selling the naming rights makes the most sense IMO. I’m sure there are plenty of people in setx that would be willing to pay a pretty penny to get their name on that stadium. I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about having too much money, even if the district isn’t in dire need of it.

That's the way to go. 
Bring in some corporate money, even multiple corporate money, to benefit all the kids in the district financially. 
Example: Welcome to Goodyear/Entergy/Home Depot Stadium. 
 IT IS JUST A NAME!!!
It will not effect the kids playing, the parents supporting & the district benefitting.   It is after all BISD, a school stadium. 
The stadium will always be  "The Butch" to most people.  I could care less if the name is changed.  This is what we will all call it!  It's a name that is easy, quick & familiar.
 

The District was so poorly managed that the State has to come in and clean up the mess... and the ISD isn’t out of the woods yet. In fact, there are no indications that the state intends to turn anything over anytime soon.  
But people think they should leave the stadium named after the guy who ran the whole thing into the ground. 
And your right... a LOT of the people in Beaumont would like to see the name stay as it is. But then again, these are the people who elected that bunch of clowns in the first place, and who will undoubtedly elect the same clowns (or their kids, lol) to pick up right where Butch, Calvin, Haynes, and everybody else left off. 
There are WAY too many people that actually DESERVE to have that facility named after them. Sadly, based on his body of work, Dr Thomas isn’t one of them.  Unless you consider being the highest paid Super in the state AND still having your district taken over by the state for corruption a good thing.  
 

Sell the naming rights. 
Nobody can argue for turning down money just to keep a controversial name posted. 
 

I appreciated the link provided. In fact, I thought Shapiro was particularly tactful by not even addressing the content in his post.... just a link. 
I don’t follow local news closely, so it’s doubtful that I would have ever known what happened had it not been for Shapiro’s posting. 
It seems like some people don’t like the message and feel like attacking the messenger. 
Honestly, if you haven’t talked with your young athlete about EXACTLY what happened to Blain, your missing a good opportunity.

I understand that you are upset and believes the article puts some sort of necessary stain on Blain.  But let me ask you this, did you believe that the toxicology and autopsy results of the sudden and unexplained death of a star college football player who played in, of all places, the fourth largest city in the United States would go unreported by the media altogether?
If so, let me shatter your illusion:

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Look, I myself have railed on the limits of newsworthiness of any act beyond the football field, good or bad.  And I will confess that many times the target of such railings have been the staff at the Enterprise.  But I think your ire at the Enterprise in this case is a bit misplaced.  First, the idea that if Matt Faye wouldn't have published his article, that the autopsy reports would have been Harris County and the Padgett family's little secret is a foolhardy one.  Second, the explanation of why an otherwise healthy 21 yr old football player died suddenly is indeed a newsworthy story.
The coroner's report, the Enterprise report or the Houston TV station's report do not change the fact that Blain Padgett was a good young man who came from a good family.  Instead of getting upset with the media for reporting it, you should hope, as I do, that authorities and the Padgett family (as they have pledged to do) find how Blain came across this substance so that justice can be done and his death will not have been in vain. 
 

Disagree.  By and large we are all simply a product of our choices whether they be good or bad.  I don't think simply sharing a link that sheds light on what transpired takes away from the young man..We all make mistakes. Many of us are fortunate to not pay the ultimate price while many others are not. If anything it should serve as a cautionary tale as well as a great opportunity for others to educate themselves and loved ones on the dangers of opioids.  
 

Need to change their names from the Tigers to the Silsbee Transfers lol

HJ will beat HF

lol    7/7 will be out the window when WOS and Silsbee and others start hittin their tails!  

BC needs to stay with the slot t in my opinion. I don’t remember them having much success using the spread. I just hope Deshazo gets the support from the community and they don’t run him off.

I agree completely.  

One can't go undefeated every year.  There's more than just a couple of great coaches in the State.   Overall Duboise did good.
