UTRGV was favored.

For what it’s worth, I think Mitchell has done a good job and I think that’s fairly evident, Brock or no Brock. I enjoy his antics where it pertains to the referees because I have felt that pain too many times (and it amuses me). In fact, being entertained by the coach was the only thing that made PNG basketball watchable for years. McDonald nor Jeffcoat have ever appeared to me to be guys who twist off regularly. I would say I’ve seen Clay Davis animated as well. Sure they can get worked up and lose it on occasion as most coaches can. And I can’t recall a time when any of the three has gotten animated where their team didn’t just receive a really bad call. But they aren’t in the same category. And both are really good guys (as Mitchell has been from my limited interaction with him). I have really good friends who vouch for him as well. However, if he was posting on the board as someone else talking about how great he is: that’s more than a little weird.

Can confirm. Also PG isn’t bad. Both bigs are more wings who are skilled. Both are accustomed to playing bigger, better competition than Silsbee will run out there in summer ball. Question will be whether Silsbee can wear them down with their pressure vs lack of depth. 5 on 5 with no subs, Booker T would be a solid double digit favorite. Lack of depth on their part makes this a lot closer to a pick ‘em. Imo. HJ would struggle with either team.

They did that twice. Kountze won 2 of 3 and then a couple years later, buna won 2 of 3.

Perk to LSU

I need a class with naps.

He wasn’t ever a D1 player according to some of the geniuses on here (well, one in particular). Only took him half of a freshman season to dispel that notion…

Serious question: should Big Ned have moved on from Brian English for not winning state? Because a big reason he doesn’t have a ring is his loyalty to Nederland. He has had opportunities to move on to places he would have a much better shot at a ring. Or does the state title or failure not apply to sports where it takes far fewer athletes to be successful?

Mfd sounded like he was there too?

Cool. Only 27 fouls and 18 tie balls until the boys play then…

HF 54 Livingston 45 F

I guessing a certain group of young men, got their collective behinds chewed by a certain man, for sleep walking through the first half…

How was I the first like on this one? It was funny and rhymed. Win win!

All but Oceguera basically.

We call “those seasons” just seasons.

Are you also as pro-rape as Artie?

Highly recommend tuning into Beard’s return to Lubbock tonight. One thing about it, those Tech students rarely disappoint in these situations (well maybe their parents and their pastors but not those of us that enjoy their jackassery). Chris might want to wear a helmet on the bench.

Stephenville wins that game with Smitty/Reagan coaching against Burnett. They were clearly the better team, and that was for all intents and purposes a home game for PNG (shoutout to Indian Nation who is second to none - well maybe second to 20th century MOJO). As I recall, Stephenville won by double digits, even after fumbling not once, but twice on the Indian 1 yard line. Just wasn’t that close. To be fair, that was one fine Yellowjacket team.

As others have said, Peevey would appear crazy to be interested in this job. To deduce why, one would need not look further than LCM’s treatment of his predecessor (Crouch), and PNG’s treatment of his would-be predecessor, Faircloth. LCM has always paid their coaches really well (Crouch stayed one of the highest paid coaches in the area) and, maybe more importantly, the admins stay out of their way and let them do their thing.

No one who knows my buddy Hagar would question that!! But we both had the good fortune or marrying (and staying married to) a beauty. And that’s more impressive anyway! (At least we can tell ourselves that 🤪)

I love the Silsbee fans. They are so passionate, they start a pregame thread even when they are playing Bridge City.

As long as you slept through the years in between. Lol. He’s a decent player. He’s not the best basketball player on his team this year, if all healthy. But it was a nice heater last night.

Good news is Adams was out a month and his first game back he was instantly the best player in the gym. Kid is obviously supremely skilled but what gets me is how rarely he ever makes a bad decision. He almost always makes the correct basketball play. Basketball iq is through the roof. When you combine that with a kid that has all the physical gifts he has…man you really have something.

It was. The other kid grabbed Jordyn’s whole left arm (as he drove past him) to the point that it turned him sideways with no call (in double bonus), then the kid who drew the foul actually stepped on Jordyn’s foot as he was going up. One of the Lamar photogs sent me the picture. That went from a 3 point play to give Lamar a tie or the lead to 3 out of 4 FTs on the other end. Same ref waves off a Harrison basket by calling travel on a sweet euro step. (He told Brooks after watching the replay “sorry I missed that one.” And the foul on Kason on the loose ball where the acu kid came across him to knock it out of bounds (which put them on the line and gave them 2 points at the line), was equally terrible. 3 huge sequences that all took away points and/or gave them points. All made by the same guy. Takes a lot to get Brooks to lose it. That ref really earned it.

I will tell you what’s not better in the WAC. The darn zebras. One in particular was responsible for about 10 points the wrong way for Lamar today. Good news is next week we should get Catt back, as well as Ball hopefully (his first action of season). Adams first game back was today and he looked great.
