I said last season that it may have been Boutte’s best coaching job (same with Foster at BS). Both did way more than they should have with the talent they had. Boutte is most definitely still on top of his game.

That is all understood. But if you think Texas and OU came to the SEC with hat in hand, on their proverbial knees (as your first post alluded), and that A&M had been a part of the discussions in the Southernly, democratic SEC…. But whatever narrative makes everyone feel better about themselves, cool. This is nothing more than the SEC being proactive and blowing the Big 10 out of the money waters. Some people just have to eat Lima beans to make that happen. This is about capitalism, not democracy.

I like and respect you too. But if you think Vanderbilt wields as much power as Bama, I have some things to sell you. Yes they both a vote that counts the same. But that’s where it ends. All of the above sounds great and, frankly, a bit utopian. But that’s not how college athletics (or life) works. Probably would be better if it did. But it always boils down to who needs who more and who brings the most to the table. And the power brokers (from the sec side) are exactly who you might expect them to be.

A&M fans are DEFINITELY against Texas joining, at least as far as the overwhelming amount of social media indicates (friends, etc). The reason why, I am assuming, is the biggest recruiting pitch disappears.

Alabama apparently wants this move. End of story.

Big bruising RB out of Cleveland. Had no idea he was coaching there.

Ok, I’m going to hell…

He’s good but he can’t go left…

Look out Concordia and St Thomas! Evadale’s a coming!

Any high school coach who thought, “Hmm, the one thing that Silsbee team needed was more depth” should get out and watch the other 800 or so teams in the state. The one thing Silsbee has been elite at in those runs is being deep.

I think they have a chance to be very good. Crazy you could have two different groups, that good, that close together at that size of a school. But no, although very good, not as good as that bunch.

He also knew enough not to get dunked on by West Brook’s own Christian Dews.

I like to go bold with my predictions.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say Beaumont United and Silsbee will both be very good.

100 percent agree.

[Hidden Content] Someone needs to tell those gomers in Collie Station that the law only changed 2 years ago making that, in effect, no longer a thing. Caruso is an NBA player so he can afford a UT lawyer but he could even slum with a fellow aggy and walk these charges.

I was wondering the same thing. But he’s never entered the portal to my knowledge. Whoever it is, they might have to be a walk on. I could be wrong but I’m not sure they have any schollies left.

This one is for my favorite Catholic 😉 A teenaged boy goes to confessional. “Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.” The priest asks, “Is that you, Little Johnny?” ”Yes, Father, it is.” ”And who was this girl you were with?” ”I can’t tell you Father. I don’t want to ruin her reputation.” “Well Johnny, I’m sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me how. Was it Emily Jones?” ”I cannot say.” ”Was it Lauren Peter’s?” ”I’ll never tell Father.” ”Was it Amelia Parker?” ”I’m sorry, but I cannot name her.” ”Was it Grace Smith?” ”My lips are sealed.” ”Okay, so it was Mia O’Malley then?” ”Please Father. I really can’t tell you.” The priest sighs in frustration. “You’re very tight-lipped, and I admire that. But you have sinned my son, and you have to atone. You can no longer continue to be an altar boy until 4 months have passed. Now go and behave yourself.” ”Yes, Father.” Johnny walks back to his pew, and his friend Jimmy slides over and whispers, “What’d you get?” Little Johnny grins... “Four months vacation and 5 good leads!”

Hogs had a fight at the bat rack...

Yeah that was a big get for them. McCain was no earth shattering news. He’s been there since the spring after a brief stop at Clarendon. It was widely known he was going to be playing for the Seahawks next season. And obviously that is huge for Lamar PA as well.

Love this story my friend. As I predicted, this has become one of my favorite threads. Now I’m about to watch this video you posted.

One of the most impressive things about Sigler to me is that he is still doing it. He’s done it long enough, he could have ridden into the sunset with his rings and a full retirement. Kudos to him for continuing to impact young men’s lives for the love of the game.
