Uncle Si

pinelandflash  how is WS looking this year? I bought some land at San Augustine Park so I gotta be a fan now....LOL

If all San Augustine did was throw jump balls to the two big receivers I might agree with you that their loss would hurt big time...but I don't recall them doing that too much. One of the big guys played inside WR and the other was outside. Both very good, but definitely didn't rely on the jump ball/ deep ball. The only game they really threw the ball deep consistently was Shelbyille and that's because shelbyville manned up all night and SA was getting past them untouched at the LOS. Don't sleep on what SA could trot out at WR next year.

And I'm not sold on Williams being the better scrambler. The two are pretty similar athletically with Jmike being the bigger of the 2 I believe. At several camps this summer Jmike has consistently ran in the 4.5-4.6 range including being named QB MVP of the ETSN combine and recently at the Blue-Grey Super Combine (invite only) for the Blue-Grey All American Game. He also ran on both the sprint and 800 relays in Austin this past spring. There is obviously more to scrambling/being a running threat but 1000+ rushing yards from the QB spot speaks for itself.

And I know you weren't downing Jmike in anyway, and I have no intentions of downing Reshod either. Both are great kids, with great potential and skills. I just like to speak up for Jmike just as you speak up for Reshod.

Personally I wish the WS-SA game was week 11 instead of week 7 so that we could see these 2 go at it for a possible district championship.

For some odd reason, parents now days have this strange sense of entitlement and believe for some reason that because their kid has played at a particular school thier whole lives or simply because they are seniors that they should automatically be a starter on a team (regardless of athletic ability).  I'm glad we have coaches that recognize the importance of playing the best of the best regardless of senority or last name.

I'm not going to "save my comments"!  This is a freaking message board for posting comments and this thread was created to discuss the Hemphill Hornets.  It's VERY clear that you have an axe to grind with somebody in Hemphill and if ANYONE that has posted on this thread needs to "save thier comments", it's you! 

First I would like to say that HD, WS, and SA are not weak teams and that most likely Hemphill will have to play lights out in order to even have a chance to win these games.  Hemphill is in a rebuilding process and it's a true rebuild from the ground up from coaching staff, kids, system, and fans.....  It all has to be rebuilt...  You cannot do that by winning 0 games, you have to start by instilling a sense of self worth and confidence..  A team like Hemphilll needs to wins a few games early and do everything they can to keep all players healthy for district play.  I think Coach Lanius has mapped out a good non district schedule for Hemphill and if everybody will give the guy some time he will have Hemphill back to form within 3 years.

I also prefer Uncle Chris' Steak seasoning.  I cooked a couple of ribeye's and a 2 pound sirloin last night.  

On the Grill..................
 
Bacon wrapped Chicken Breasts:
 
1.  Cut chicken breasts in half (down the seam)
2.  Season with Tex Joy BBQ season and garlic powder
3.  Wrap breast halves with thick cut bacon using toothpicks to hold in place  (chicken takes a litte longer to cook so thin slice bacon will burn before the chicken is done)
4.  Insert jalapeno slices between the bacon and chicken
5.  Cook on grill at 275 for 45 minutes.  Dont overcook or cook to hot the chicken breasts, they will dry out quick.
 
Very easy/simple, but very good.

I like smoking pork backbone. Slow and low heat.

A favorite seasoning of mine is Montreal steak seasoning. You will be impressed. I often pre-coat a steak with a little olive oil before seasoning. If I have time to prepare and want to get fancy I'll top it off with a blue cheese and butter compound mixture kicks it up a notch. I'm getting hungry.

Mix Tony's seasoning in with a  1/2 cup of water and some Worcestershire sauce. Mix good and inject that into a brisket. Cut up Garlic cloves and using a steak knife, stab into brisket, so the garlic is "in" the brisket. The more the better.......
 
Then I use rub Worcestershire all over brisket and season outside withy Texjoy. 
 
Then place it on HOT grill....You want to sear both sides.......so, depending on heat, leave 5-15 minutes a side........Then place that in smoker on grill and smoke around 250-275 for about 1 hour.......Then I place in pan uncovered and smoke for another 2 hours........then cover pan with tin foil and finish in oven at about 300 for another couple hours.........
 
I sometimes add onions on top when I cover and place in oven......
 
It's very tender and taste great

Sounds great.  thanks for the recipe.

Got the idea from the best BBQ in Texas thread.............. What are some of your favorite things put on the smoker or grill............. Favorite season/rub? Favorite BBQ sauce? I am a simple guy that cooks simple, I have stuffed and smoked pork loins, chicken breasts, and other things but afterwards I always find out that sides are made for the side not for covering up the taste of the meat your smoking or grilling IMO.... I'll start with grilling and Ribeye's....... 1. Choose a good cut (I prefer 1 inch thick) with plenty of marbling. 2. Let your steaks warm to room temp before cooking. 3. Get your grill hot... I cook ribeys at atleast 400 degrees (this is important) 4. Place steaks directly over the heat and cook for 4 minutes per side. You should get a dark caramalization on the outside and a medium rare inside. 5. Remove the steaks from the grill and let stand for 5 minutes before serving......... Everyone season's their steaks to their liking and there are many, many ways to do so. You can never go wrong with a little sea salt, cracked pepper, and a little garlic powder this is probably the most popular blend of steak season and it really allows for the steak to be the main flavor with subtle garlic, salt, and pepper accents. I would however encourage you to go by your local brookshire brothers and go to the Fiesta brand season rack and get the Fiesta Brand "Uncle Chris' Gourmet Steak Season". It is absolutley the best commercial steak season that I have ever tried. It is a really great blend that doesnt over power the beef flavor of the steak. If you try this make sure to use  liberally and I promise you will not be disappointed. Will post more later.......

West Texas Style BBQ, between Silsbee and Evadale. Best BBQ in Southeast Texas.

How can you enjoy ribs and that Evadale smell at one time..ugh!

Locally - West Texas BBQ  between Silsbee and Evadale is pretty dang good

I agree, but I just dont believe that they will improve enough to be legit contenders for the district title.  I do think that they will fight it out for the second or third spot (more than likely third).  Last year the WS vs Shelbyville final was 60-21 with two of Shelbyvilles scores coming late 4th when WS had subs in.  Offensively WS will be just as fast if not a little faster this year as whole than they were last year.  The defense may slow a little but they will be bigger and stronger.  I really dont think there will be any decline for WS, so will Shelbyville improve by say 40 points??  I honestly dont think so.  I do see that game being a little tighter to the tune of a 3 score differential. I think it will be something like 42-21 WS.  If SA can tighten a little on defense they will also come out on top over Shelbyville.  SVille will not be able to hang with SA speedwise.  Joaquin and SVille will be a good one, the winner of this game gets 3rd.

Being from another 2A town in the same region, I'm afraid you may be correct!  I dont think Centerville is too much different than Mart. 

Just wanted to take a minute and say congratulations to Sabine County native Justin Twine. This remarkable young man was selected 43rd overall in the 2014 MLB draft by the Miami Marlins. He was the 3rd overall Texas high school player taken. Whether he actually goes to Miami or decides to stay at TCU I will be supporting him and his team. For those that don't know Justin he is great young man. One of the most respectful and humble people I've ever known. Justin never and has never been one to brag about his accomplishments. I've heard him brag about his teammates and their accomplishments but never his own. Well Justin, I'll do the bragging for you!! You are one of the best things to come out of Sabine County. We are extremely proud of you and will be faithful followers and fans throughout your career. Justin, words can't describe how excited I and my family are for you, when your name was called last night we uncontrolably jumped from our seats hollering and fist pumping as if our hometown team had just won a state championship!! Great job buddy, you most definately deserve this!

After reading that mess, I think you need to change your name to "Smokin Crack Baby"!

So, you are a self-admitted syrup sipping blunt blower from way back??????????  And you have the audacity to talk about folks from Chester and Southeast Texas????  Come on Lil' Wayne!
