  1. Just messing with you. I agree with most of what you said. I don't know the answer. I'm betting it has a lot to do with some non-local, execs making the decisions to focus other things. The decision makers are not in touch with what their readers/viewers want. I've heard that from at least one former Enterprise sports writer.
  2. I've never understood the people who say a player is judged by who he plays against. I guess Saban should have cared about opponents when looking at Deionte Thompson and Tony Brown. Or Devwah Whaley was overrated cuz of 22-5a weakness. And Grayland Arnold couldn't compare to a mighty bruin based on that weak, little district Kountze plays in. Listen people. If you're a stud with tons of potential, then it doesn't matter who you play on Friday night. And then there's that IT factor. RJ has IT.
  3. I expect Soulja to be here any minute. That D word gets him fired up. :-)
  4. Easy there killer. Let's just focus on Baytown Lee. If we improve in all 3 phases every week, not just defense, we should give some teams some trouble.
  5. The 7 is probably accurate because Livingston has some athletes and can get loose every now and then.
  6. Defense will get better each week. They are young. I think only 2 or 3 Seniors
  7. 16 in the 8th grade sounds like some football players at Odom in the mid 80s.
  8. Disclaimer: This transfer is NOT for athletic reasons. PA Memorial has a better communications program than Sabine Pass.
  9. I predict Lumberton will never move back down. The enrollment will always stay just ahead of the slight adjustments UIL makes every 2 years.
  10. This is the guy that Barnes beat: Schwartz (Plantation FL) is ranked #1 in the U.S. at 100m, with a time of 10.15 that set a World Under-18 Record. So, Schwartz holds a current World Record and Barnes just beat him and 3 other guys that can fly. On this site, when we use the term "World Class Speed", Barnes is definitely in that category. Congrats to Kalon Barnes. That's awesome!

  11. Sounds like PNG made that statement. Stay hot Indians!
  12. Yeah, I'm pretty sure Pace coached the team that went to the world series in Ft Lauderdale, Fl. Maybe '85 or '86?
  13. I would not assume a sucker punch, per say. But when that kind of melee starts, one tends to punch anyone who appears to be an opponent, looking or not. When my jaw was broken, I had no hard feelings toward the guy afterwards. He was actually a teammate and it was an internal team fight(off vs def). The other time I was sucker punched, it was a personal, premeditated act against me and me only. There is a big difference. Understanding the difference is key in situations like these.
  14. Cougar, I don't follow Desoto but is it safe to say they could have had 2-3 more titles by now if it weren't for Allen and Kyler Murray?
  15. What years did you play big league? And did you play for coach Pace?
  16. Thanks for the legal lesson. I'm not a lawyer but I did sleep at a holiday inn and watch a lot of csi, so here we go. Most of the injuries are consistent with heel stomps and kicks to the face, with the exception of the mouth wired shut. The broken jaw was likely from the single punch which rendered the recipient temporarily unconscious. These are not facts known to me but educated guesses based on years of experience. I've been sucker punched on more than one occasion by guys bigger and stronger than "Big Mo" and had my jaw broken. I know the kind of blows that drop someone and the kind that don't. I know the kind of force it takes to fracture an eye socket and destroy the sinus and nasal cavity. I also know that when a big confident fighter like Big Mo drops someone, they don't feel compelled to keep viciously beating a man when he is unconscious. It's the weaker bystanders that do that kind of cowardly mess. From what I've heard and read there are not many witnesses and even less evidence that points to big boy doing the bulk of the damage. But you are probably right. I'm sure he'll be convicted of a felony and spend a year in jail. Look, the only reason I'm even in this forum is because football season hasn't started yet, so don't get so worked up.
