    Pak, I see your opinion on the whole thing. I don't agree, but obviously nothing I say will change your mind so I'm not really trying to do that. Clearly there are other ppl in this thread that agree with you.

    I think it's an insult to say that they have no coaching. I see teams here in Florida that have tons of talent with a true lack of coaching (low pay, no resources don't make for great coaching situations here). Could he do better? Sure. Does he have some of the most talent in the area? Yeah. But to say that the players are basically doing all of this in spite of him seems wrong to me. You say that the players will run through a brick wall for him, that's part of coaching.

    I give him credit for staying at PAM with a relatively unappreciative fanbase. Based on what you're saying, you're not the only one that wants him out. I don't get it, kind of reminds me of Mark Richt at UGA. Maybe another coach can take them to the next level. No guarantee though.

    Whatever's best for him and PAM, I hope happens. If that means he stays, I hope yall learn to deal. If he leaves, I hope they find a good replacement. Lord knows he's gonna have to deal with fans that want him out even if they go to the 3rd round.

  7. Newton players receiving FBS offers

    I know it's no shock, but Newton has a trio of players that have received FBS offers in the last week or so. I love rooting for Newton bc they always treated me awesome when I went up there. And they (along with WOS) always kept football coverage going until December lol.

    2019ers Tamauzia Brown and Darwin Barlow along with 2020er James Sylvester all received offers from Baylor recently. Brown and Barlow were also offered by Southern Miss. Brown also has prior offers from Lamar and Oklahoma State.

    I'm always amazed at all the talent that comes out of that small town lol.

    Here is another one like clockwork. Sorry, but as a community the expectation was much higher and I think we as supporters about to try and get rid of the Xbox. In MC that might be the standard to just make the playoffs, these kids expected to be playing next week and wasn’t satisfied with just making it to the third rd. That team wasn’t great. They were competitive. Manvel is a great team. I can tell you was really pulling for pam smh... that was sarcasm.

    PAM would be crazy to drive Kenny out of that head coaching spot. They didn't just make the playoffs, they made it three rounds deep and were 50 seconds away from beating a very good Temple team (all 3 teams that beat Temple this season are still playing this week). Pak, I'm sure you're not the only one with high expectations for them. Once you get to this part of the playoffs, all the teams are good or great.

    But, if for some reason, Kenny was let go, I hope PAM doesn't pull a Tennessee and listen to the fans on who to hire. Be careful what/who you wish for. And Kenny would find a job just fine in that case.

    I'm sure he makes calls that fans don't like (I see it on here), but you're assuming the replacement will be better.

  12. Should Roschon Transfer?

    The UIL's rules make it so that it's really tough and it's almost a moot point. But I'll say this. If he had that same exact situation in Florida, I think it would make sense for him to transfer. But it's also way easier to transfer here. I disagree with WOSGrad's implication that wanting to transfer makes automatically gives you a low set of values. It's a different time. Some transfers don't make sense, some do. I think this one, if it did happen, would make sense.

    He'll be successful at PNG next year, I'm sure BF will find him some good weapons. But he's asked to do a lot with no defense to support him.

    Well, if you want to call coach Harrison and personally ask him for an apology/explanation, go ahead. Because no matter what you say, this clearly is still bothering you.

    Anyways, you hijacked a game board that had nothing to do with that, so congratulations. You are the arbiter of what any and everyone else should determine is sportsmanlike and unsportsmanlike. PAM could have made a mistake but can you voice your displeasure and move on? Apparently not. So yes, karma got those bad ol mean ol coaches by only letting em win two playoff games instead of three. You constantly try to separate players and coaches with your sympathy. I've been coaching for the last 3 years and I'll tell you something, pretty hard to do that.

    I don't even agree with Pak on a ton of stuff he says but to bring this up again unprovoked is ridiculous. But congrats, you get to dance around as the PAM players (AND coaches) are done today.

    If that is what you get from my post then you obviously missed the point.   I visited Vidor, for the first time in nearly five months, for Thanksgiving.   It was front page news on the city newspaper.   Obviously you don't see how the actions of a team, and misreporting,  can affect tensions off the playing field.  Or don't care.  

    But trust me, if the teams were reversed it would of made national news.

    You said karma played out last night. You obviously didn't say karma played out the last two weeks when PAM won. So what you are implying is that PAM got what was coming to them because the players didn't shake hands. I'm not sure if I'm reading that different from someone else in here, maybe a 3rd party can help me out and tell me.

    Also, I'm not sure what misreporting you're speaking of. I see a column in the Vidorian which has a very editorial headlne of "No handshake exhibits no class". I don't know if the writer interviewed anyone from PAM or just went with his opinion. Conversely, I saw the Enterprise interviewed both coaches about it. So where exactly is the misreporting? And to say you can care less when you brought it up again is a contradiction. So what point did I miss?

    "You"?  I think you'll find many people that believe Karma finally played out last night.

    Your coach was more concerned in teaching severance and division instead of sportsmanship.   Whether it was done because Vidor beat them last year or because of a community's history that cannot be changed or erased, the Pirate team was never the problem.   Actions have consequences and even "fake" commentary and spin from a local "reporter" cannot justify them.

    For the kids that spent countless hours of sweat and tears to show maturity and sportsmanship, I hate that your season ended early.  For those that condone the leadership of the Titan's coaching staff, I can care less.

    So Memorial lost last night because they didn't shake Vidor's hands all three times at a game in the regular season if I'm to read that right.

    Don't say you could care less about it because you brought it up unprovoked after weeks when it's been done.
