I will take that bet

I am sure Saladin will be back. Not sure about Bernard. I don't think Eli will be back yet.

No wonder. Still a good outing by BC though.

They've beaten SATCH twice this year, I believe.

Good catch. Changed "absolutely" to "completely" so as not to use "absolutely" twice in the post. Unfortunately, forgot to change the accompanying article. But it was indeed a nice catch and not a bad diversion when you can't dispute the era of irrelevance that began when the piggies fled to the SEC

I think he's saying BS fans claimed they wouldn't lose another game last year and then fell way short of that prediction by actually losing in the state championship game...

They have some good, young guards. But overall, better than either Beaumont team IMO. I didn't see the game last night but was at the first district matchup. Neither team looked like they were prepared to make a deep run. Folks at the game tonight would have to weigh in on whether either or both look much improved.

Panthers hold off the 4th quarter run by the Jags this time. Good win!

Ozen 38 Central 29 End 3

Quite a run by the Lions in the last 2 minutes...

4 point second quarter for the jags. Wow

Agree with all of that OT. And it really is a dang shame. Few things sadder in this life than wasted talent. And he has a ton of it.

And been absolutely irrelevant ever since* ** *in before the 59 yards comments **congrats on beating daddy in an completely meaningless bowl

Jawann still looks like he could play.

Not positive but at least the gym is bigger. HF's seems like a jr high or elementary gym.

Forgot about BH. Never think of that district as SETX, even though I know they're in our coverage. Just like the western 6A schools. Speaking of, Channelview's gym is in the conversation.

Not even close to the same Texas team playing now. Only Texas' 3rd game under Shaka and were just returning from China, then on to the Bahamas. BUT, I am sure A&M has also improved and a win is a win and you guys have scoreboard. And you were correct earlier ITT - Vandy is a much different team in Nashville than on the road. That's nothing new this season.

Least favorite: HF - antiquated with side goals hanging off everywhere obstructing views. And MUCH less room than WOS. Favorite: HJ - nice gym, plenty of room, and always nicely adorned in some form or fashion. Enjoyed the player's cutouts this year. Favorite gym in SETX is obviously EC with honorable mention to Evadale.

^ should have read your next post first.

How is Vandy favored?? Makes me concerned the Ags might lose. Vegas apparently thinks it knows something we don't...

I do enjoy pushing buttons but I really have no ill will towards A&M. As I've said before, I may very well have a child there one day and will have no problem writing those checks. In the end, A&M is a very good school. My only stipulation with my kids is that I will not pay should they choose to go to OU. Because, as I've told them, the only reason they would go there is to piss me off. And I'm not playing that game.

I just assumed you were comparing him to Tevye...

They don't have a game scheduled but it is very possible they could meet in the playoffs. I would also love to see the two play and would probably make the drive to do so if they do meet.

I wasn't at the tournament but heard a lot of second hand accounts. From both sides. I am sure everyone wishes several people had handled things differently but it is water under the bridge. The kid who was criticized is a very good player and a very good kid (according to more than one person I know well and trust). Likewise, Clay Davis is a fine coach and an even better person IMO. And that comes from personal knowledge. I know your personal choice for best coach would share that sentiment. Speaking of which, hard to argue with your choice of Sutherland and your observations of Coach Foster. Both great coaches and teachers of the kids, and both of whom are molders of men by leading by example...

This situation had absolutely nothing to do with race. It was an issue of whether coaches used good judgment in administering punishment to the kids. But I'm sure that wasn't your point. It's not like HF is lily white. As for BISD, I am sure there are some at least whose motivations and distaste are at least partially racially motivated. But there are many, myself and some of my close friends of color, who have been disgusted by the corruption and lack of ethics by many within the district who were entrusted with taxpayer money, and more importantly, our children. Just as there are some whose critiques were racially motivated, I believe there are others whose blind support is racially motivated. As far as the TB situation, it was another unfortunate mistake on his part. If he gets it together or Deionte Thompson enjoys success there, I am sure you will just as clearly see overwhelming support for either of them. OF, unfortunately you are correct that there are still a LOT of racist people in this world, and this site has its share I am sure. But invoking the race card when it's not really an issue does nothing to eradicate the problem; rather, it is much more likely to have the reverse effect. Fewer people are likely to hear when the situation actually involves the ignorance that is racism. Just my 2 cents. For whatever it's worth.
