I'm Guilty!!! I'm Annoying & I post a lot. I'm only Annoying to people who allow me to annoy them. I'm posting now to be annoying. Is it working?
If my Son comes home with a subpar performance because of lack of Effort, you haven't seen Annoying until you witness how I will unleash on his Butt. For those that know me, that's putting it mildly. We don't rise & grind @ 6am daily & make sacrifices for him to just exist. That Crap Annoys me. Paying for camps, equipment, driving to games, admission to games, food, training, mentoring, Fathering......
You get my drift; this lifestyle can be Annoying to someone who doesn't live this life. So, you're Damned right I'm annoying or annoyed; which ever comes first. Either you're In or Out.
We don't do things Halfass & that's why we won't be paying for College God willing. JMO

I know that Brenham is on the fringe of the SETX coverage area, but we are discussed here often enough to throw our name in. Earnest Patterson has to be on any list in this area of best RBs. He is in for another monster year and with the QB back, teams will have to respect the passing game after the way he threw in the playoffs last year. That respect for the passing game should open the lanes for him even more with teams not being able to stack the box. JMO

Brenham's QB-Caleb Hill
 
He didn't take over full time QB duties until the middle of the season and came up huge in the playoffs!

We will need some players to step up, but like Dayton they always do. Might have some growing pains early while they are learning, but when it starts counting Coach West will have them where they need to be. Lot of speed on offense and defense as usual and having key skill players back (QB and RB) helps leadership. I think the Cubs will still be very good, how far they go depends on growth of the younger players. Playing 16 games last year will help them cause they got the extra practice and the experience of the playoffs.

Now, Now, y'all knock it off  before it escalates!!

Stupid autocorrect. Switched from my droid to the tiny I phone that's not very conducive to posting on SETX. . . . Either that or just a flashback to college. Seems to be working as a recruiting tool for the Aggs though.

Now that's what I'm talking about! That's a heck of a recruiting tool! Ha Ha couldn't let that pass!

My view on that is kind of opposite. IMO comfort breeds complacency. The reason schools like NS and Westfield are so good is because the kids scratch and claw for pretty much everything they get. I wouldn't want my son to keep job somewhere in the hopes that he can change the course of company. I want him to go to work for one of the big dogs where he will be challenged from the day he walks in door.

If your kid plays for a loser or a mediocre program and they're giving great individual effort that isn't producing team results then they become more accepting of failure. Winning or upper tier programs expect to win all the time so failure is unacceptable. More prestigious programs usually have better coaches, community support and track record with scholarships. IMO it helps them get a better start to life outside of football.

That was cool.

No, they didn't. Aledo did a class act and raised money to help the boys out that their vehicles were broken into. Not sure how much, or how It was distributed, but I know they helped raise funds to help them out.

Not counting OUT anyone, just gave my opinion on what I have seen thus far.

Just from what I have seen, the winner of GR and VE takes the title. Think they will play Hallsville in the final.

Congratulations to GR. They played better than we did and deserved to win. Good luck at State and I have a feeling this won't be the last time these two programs meet this far in the playoffs!! Great season Cubs and with all the returning starters for next year, we will give it a great run again!! CO CUBS!! KKD!!

Whoever will be in Arlington for the title games will be more exciting than Dallas Cowboys this yr ;)

Please ignore CSCougs. He's an embarrassment to College Station.

Congrats to your Tigers on a great season. I know this isn't how they wanted to go out, but they played hard and battled until the end. I was impressed with your Coach's attitude and graciousness in defeat. Your team reflected his attitude as well. Silsbee supporters have much to be proud of.
 
Good luck to the Silsbee Tigers in the future.

If they play in the playoffs and history holds true, one of them will at least play for state!!

I just want to say that yes, I fully understand the incredible sports season y'all have had. While Brenham does have more experience and there are expectations, it is never taken for granted when we are able to make a deep playoff run. It is hard to do for any team, new or old! I keep up with all sports and saw the talent GR had in both football and baseball about mid-season because of the teams they were beating. I agree with many of your points except two..... 1. You think that GR doesn't get any respect because they are new, Brenham didn't get any respect in football and we were the first public school in Texas. We were picked to lose every week in the playoffs, INCLUDING against GR!! Some respect you because of what you do and some DON'T respect you because of what you DO, it is what it is, get over it IMO! 2. Brenham will not be surprised by GR at all. Brenham expects to play a VERY good baseball team tomorrow night in the Regional finals. Surprises happen when teams expect less than what they get, we expect to play a good baseball team. It is going to be a great series and I'm excited to watch. BTW thank you for the compliment on our QB, happen to know him really well and he's a great kid(also starts on the baseball team). GO CUBS!! KKD!!

Can we just agree that both are very good teams, who have both played tough schedules, both are talented, and it will be a great game? And please quit with the whole, they are a 5A team playing 3A. No, they opened a couple years ago as a 3A and are MOVING up to a 5A(old 4A) because they will have all 4 grades for the first time. They get it handed to them in all other sports, but because they are good in baseball it's a problem? Honestly, IMO, baseball is the one sport that any classification can play with another. Take several of the past 2A State champions and they ALL played preseason 5A tournaments and competed just fine. Pitching is the great equalizer and when you have it, regardless of classification, you can compete. Larger schools may/do have more depth, but best 9 on best 9, no, it doesn't make that big of difference when you have pitching. If Brenham was not playing Thursday, this is the game I would pay money to see because I feel it will be a great one. Two teams, playing great baseball in the playoffs?? Doesn't get any better!!

I know that's right :D

Brenham and Dayton never rebuild they only reload you know that! Even when several graduate others step up and play! With both teams having key skill players returning they should both be very good.
