Let’s just say one I know very well.

My post wasn't meant as a sleight on any of the current players. I've been very impressed with what I've seen so far. But I do think Whitmire coaching is a very big advantage for them (and sounds like you agree). I've just seen him win a ton of games over the years when he had the worst of it, talent-wise. Including a few against the Bobcats, unfortunately.

Glass houses 😄

That was my dilemma as well. Interesting note on Kountze. Wasn't so long ago that they were pitching a fit about another kid in the district being an illegal transfer (although word on the street was they were doing East Chambers' bidding). Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for the kid, a couple of the other superintendents in the district at the time had known the young man's father for practically his entire life. To the point they let the two complaining schools know they were barking up the wrong tree and squelched it. As anyone knows who knows me, I am all for letting the Kountze kids play. But I am always amused by the hypocrisy in these sorts of thing.

agreed - my top 3 as well. No idea on 4th though. I usually default to Buna though.

For sure. If they had made a bowl game, I would have put them against the crappiest team I could find…

I’ve said for years Whitmire was one of the most underrated coaches in SETX and won a LOT of games with less. Bobcats lose one of their most loaded senior classes I can remember and stand at 13-1 going into district.

I agree. They scare me more than Bama btw. They are also a better team. And Bama will more than have their hands full with Michigan. I’m not sure the final won’t be chalk.

It’s hilarious all the talk on social media is how Bama’s QB is better now, yada yada yada. Which of course is the talking point of all casual fans. The true football folks know Texas won because they won where most football games are won - with the big uglies We whipped their tail in both lines of scrimmage, I’m sure their younguns are better. But our experienced fronts on both sides are still healthy and the best in the country.

Sounds like you’ve seen some good games today.

That’s certainly true. But both of these young men are extremely bright and energetic. I haven’t seen KJ yet with Buna, but I can tell you the level of coaching (in a varsity game) I saw from Remi quite frankly surprised me. And I went in expecting a lot. He is wayyy beyond his years and was doing more than I’ve seen an assistant do 99 percent of the time. Reminded me a bit of a couple of current highly successful coaches when they were assistants at high profile teams in this area. And by the way, kudos to Coach Whitmire for giving Connell that freedom. Of course, he more than anyone knows what he is capable of.

I understand on paper it looked questionable. But I knew what kind of basketball mind KJ has and his passion for the game. And he’s always wanted to coach girls. It was a diamond in the rough situation to me. I also understand how well liked Remi deservedly is there. But I think he will end up being thankful he stayed with boys. I tend to believe things happen for a reason. He’s destined to be a very good one, maybe even a great one.

Yeah, not sure what the thinking is when someone can’t win at a program like U of H. Then again, not sure how much thinking Borne did in general.

Oh I knew. That post wasn’t made for you. I probably did a poor job of making a point but was trying to point out that “trace amounts” when it comes to fentanyl can be deadly amounts.

So much this.

I know without question you say this is in gest but for those who are unaware, there is no such thing. I hate the word "literally" because it is misused so frequently but the use of fentanyl and playing Russian Roulette are very close to the same thing,

Depending on the definition of "decent," I would say UTSA has the potential to be decent. I watched both of the games with the Roadrunners, and they have some talent. I thought they were pretty poorly coached. It amazes me how virtually no adjustments are made in game. And I was lambasted on here for defending Tic during his last season. The Cards won two conference tournament games that year, one against a good Sam team before losing to Abilene Christian who went on to beat UT in March Madness. For those keeping track, we haven't been back to a conference tournament since, after back to back last place conference finishes. I stand by my statement that Coach Price was the third best coach in Lamar basketball history since the Pecker Tech days, behind the obvious two legends. Of course, the great Marco Borne saw fit to fire the man (the day after telling him he would get to coach the last year of his contract). In fairness, Borne did so on his way to rehab so who knows what his mindset was. Needless to say, ended up being a final parting gift as he promptly followed Tic out the door after making a final hire or two. Good news is I am fully confident our current AD.

It important that kids have a way out when they realize they unknowingly joined a cult…

To tell you the truth, the Tigers tend to foul a lot. It’s just part of how they play. Some games they get by with more than others. I prefer refs let more go, especially some “fouls” but Silsbee should almost always have more fouls than their opponents.

Silsbee has NEVER shied away from bigger schools. 409, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas. And more often than not, held their own and won more than a few. Iron sharpens iron. I wouldn’t be comfortable telling Joe Sigler how to put together his schedules. His results have spoken for themselves. It may not be for everyone, but I think it would be a bit foolish to say it hasn’t been a successful formula for Silsbee.

He meant they get run by that other team in the 409…. In fairness, as they should.

You said a mouthful. I’m not there are any better. And there may not be a better coach in the country who is as “under the radar” as Foster. Which I would bet is exactly how he prefers it.

They just won the Nederland tournament. I think they are 9-3 or something.

Score was closer than the game but we won the second half #MoralVictories

Scratch that. We hit a 3 to cut it 26!
