Mr. Floyd did strike me as someone that would be very responsible with his fentanyl use.

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,

Poor Lamar Mens basketball has fallen on hard times under Brooks. They competed much better under Price. Have they beaten one decent team this season and the answer is NO

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.

To tell you the truth, they did call alot of fouls against the Tigers. 

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.

who is "y'all" ? Im stating facts. Im not a Silsbee guy. $a and 6a schools shouldnt even be allowed to play each other. But they do and a lot of times actually win the games. That is crazy. BMT has over 2,000 kids to choose from in each school lmao Silsbee has like what, 800? 

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.

It’s been a minute since y’all “ran the 409 in basketball” 😂

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

Coach Foster won his 700th game last Friday night against Woden.

Congrats to Coach Foster. One of the best coaches in the entire state. Great accomplishment.

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.

How are the Buna girls doing with the new guy?

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

Yep 55-29 at half then up to 66-36 at 14 minutes before they called off the dogs and let Lamar cut it to 20.

Final SAM 90 Lamar 70

 

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

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

Look pretty good today at Sam.  Only down about 30 at half.

Without their QB, they aren’t one of the best 4.  Michigan is hoping FSU gets in a 4 and not Bama

Yeah that key player factor is going to keep them out probably.

Highly doubt they drag it out to overlap with the NFL games. They probably make the announcement right before noon

Your lips to God’s ears. 

They are going to use that last factor to justify screwing FSU.

Maybe the committee says screw it and goes with an 8 team playoff now.  No one would be mad at that 

Easiest solution. In that event, I would throw Liberty in at 8 instead of haggling over a bunch of 2 loss teams.  

interesting

It’s pretty ironic. I’d be willing to bet that Little Cypress has the highest % of per capita Aggie “t-shirt fans.” 

😂 I’m not taking that bet.

I don’t think anyone is arguing that the Big 12 is a good conference this year. Like I said yesterday, Texas is only being seriously considered for a playoff spot right now because they won by double digits in Tuscaloosa. 

And they arguably played the toughest schedule in the country.  But that doesn’t jive with platitudes like, the SEC is the best!

I'm not here to defend Mack. I don't agree with his takes sometimes.

In this particular thread, it was Texas fans that brought A&M up in discussion.

Call me names all you want. My family has always been Aggies. Several have attended, including my wife.

Kinda like you have those WO-S ties. 😉

 

But I have been here long enough to see who really spews the hate.

I don’t agree with the term. That’s an aggy term.  And not one Mack came up with either.  I believe anyone has the right to root on who they want and are just as valid a fan as an alum.   It’s aggy nation who apparently believes people shouldn’t root for Texas unless they went there. 
 

Edit:  I will take it a step further.  It’s one of the dumbest terms in all of sports.  I apologize for using it to make a point.

Didn't say it wasn't. I have been very disappointed.

But that's not my point.

It seems some just can't help themselves. Got to always take their shot even when it's not relevant to the topic.

 

BTW, I am not of the opinion that the Big 12 is trash. I do believe the SEC is better. Glad we are there.

Cry me a river.  Would you like me to highlight the posts by whom that instigates these “shots.”  You are a “t shirt fan” (as Mack likes to call such folks) of a school that’s identity is based on taking shots against another school.  You guys just make it abundantly easy to counter punch.

Said this for years.  They went from having a shot of winning the big 12 and a chance at a possible playoff to what they are now. 

Meh, they were very mediocre in the Big 12 as well.  Usually middle to lower middle of the pack.  They are the best in the business at doing less with more.

Since everything is a trash conference compared to the sec, should that even be an argument? Lmao

Since we are all fishing….matchups, common opponents, who beat who….yada, yada, yada….how about this:

[b]Had Texas gotten one more 1st down, they could have taken a knee, beat Oklahoma, and end up undefeated. [/b]Oh yeah, here comes that trash conference again. Won’t be an argument next year. I’ll be waiting on that excuse.

BTW, why does a team’s injured QB have anything to do with discussions. My teams never get consideration when that happens (Colt McCoy ring a bell ?)

It is widely beloved among the pundits that had that happened, Texas would have been the 1 seed. 
 

for what it’s worth, if they do leave it out FSU and put in Bama, Texas will be favored against Washington.  This scares me a bit because people have underestimated the Huskies all season.  But IF that’s the case and IF Texas were to win that game, it would set up either a rematch against Bama OR a Texas/Michigan matchup.  Either way, two top 5 all time programs playing in Houston for all the marbles.  Talk about printing money.  It’s also a network’s opposite of dry dream.
