Great attitude BCB.....so true. I read in today's PA News that Todd Dodge is looking to SETEX for recruiting some players for his North Texas team. One of the first players he asked for tape on is Micah Mosley. UNT may not be big DI, but to have Dodge interested in you is an honor in itself. Anyone who might disagree with that statement knows nothing about Todd Dodge or HS football. I couldn't care less who is better. They were both fun to watch and both were winners.

Mosley/Nederland/2400+ yards rushing....missed one game and also played hurt....team leader.

You mean people still watch "THUG BALL"?. I gave up when Larry Bird and Magic Johnson retired.

In the words of the immortal Willie Mosconi...."I'd rather be lucky than good anyday. You can beat someone who is good, you can't beat someone who is lucky." For the record, I don't believe in luck. You just got beat....end of story.

Why in the world would anyone be upset with the Astros' payroll when Pettitte went to the freakin' Yankees. Looked at their payroll lately??? What a joke.

Good, but my reply still stands to the person who did write that.

I think the best way to decide this is to imagine that the game is on the line, there are two outs, and your last out is up to bat. Forget batting avgs. and HRs, who do you want to bat in that situation? I want Pujols!! I really don't have a problem with a player complaining when he has a legitimate shot at the MVP, however I don't think it should matter whether you're on a playoff team or not. Pujols is a class act and this is the first time I have ever heard of him being considered classless. He has always won with grace and lost with dignity. I wish Pujols was on my Astros!!!

Micah Mosley, Nederland RB

If Biggio stays healthy, I think he will play 'till he's 50....at least I hope so. What a clutch bat he is. I hope they keep Burke, but you know how it is. If you have to fill a void, then you have to let someone go. (How about Ensberg?)

Oh yeah Diva, Luke Scott is an integral part of the Astros. He is the best bat after Berkman...at least I think so. To look at Berkman, he doesn't seem like he has a baseball bone in his body, but he is one of the best.

I think this is a good signing since Clemens said he would not play for the Astros until they signed someone to bat cleanup. Berkman was getting too many intentional walks since pitchers didn't fear the hitter behind him, especially Ensberg. Berkman is their best hitter and needs to see some pitches. Lee should give him that opportunity. Hopefully Clemens will agree and play one more year.

Micah Mosley/Nederland/ 37 carries--257 yds.--2 TDs

Thanks man. I'm really not trying to PO anybody, just playing devil's advocate. I have qustioned our play calling from time to time, and I have seen it on other teams as well. Teams can be successful doing a certain thing all the way down the field. Then when in the red zone, all of a sudden change their strategy. I'm a firm believer in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type mentality. If your spread is successful for 99 yards and 30", then it seems it should work for 6". If he ran the keeper from the shotgun, then that is a QB draw, which is usually very effective because the safeties can't bunch the LOS due to coverage. It also give your QB a chance to find a hole. I'll let this go because I know this kind of loss is hard to take. I just hate to see it all put on one coach, player, or play.

Hey, I'm trying. I have seen lots, and I mean lots of QB keepers come up short or even lose yardage. The snap is often mishandled on a quick snap play like the keeper. Had he tried the keeper and failed, then he would be questioned for not going from the spread. I still say he went with what got him there. I truly don't think he coached to lose that game. One of my favorite plays close to the goal line (inside the 10) is to roll the QB outside with the option to pass or run it in himself. It's unbelievable how many times the TE or RB out of the backfield can be open on this play. Even Drew Bledsoe (concrete feet) has scored on this play by taking it in himself.

Some of you WOS people might tell me to mind my own, but isn't that the same OC that had you undefeated 'till the Giddings game? When you have athletic QBs and RBs like WOS has year after year, I see no problem with the spread on the goal line. Please tell me the advantage of being under center as opposed to the spread, except for a QB keeper, which is absolutely not a guarantee either. He went with what got him there. Just my humble opinion....that and .50 cents might get you a cup of coffee.

Reread my post about the watch, I guess it didn't sink in. My pacifier is that we made the playoffs when everyone was picking against us. If you dodged every game you are supposed to lose (on paper), you'd only play a couple games a year.

Hey, you also predicted GP by 7. Still bitter?

Come on EC.

Turnovers???

I'm undecided...check this out for a 40 year old pitcher. [Hidden Content],pos=P,team=010

Me too. I'll be eating turkey or ham for about a week. My wife makes the best cornbread dressing and giblet gravy (half of my plate). I really need to eat like this year 'round.
