I understand that in addition to swapping into the 4/2/5 and renaming the chain gang, Hickman also was the mastermind behind the scorebot.

Isn't it weird how this board can't ever seem to talk about the obvious story of the day when it's NOT favorable to Trump? The NY scenario honestly seems like a giant hoax to me, and takes away from investigations that seem to have actual merit in my opinion... like the 1/6 inquiry (not so much), the Georgia Election Interference Investigation and the Mar A Lago Docs investigation...

I'd rather be trashing in winning that whiny in losing any day of the week.

Never heard of her.

Seems like good practice for a potential situation later in the season. All you have to do is stop them.

IF WOS keeps playing like this, we'll get one sooner or later!

Why do people still get mad because other people still fly the Confederate Battle Flag? Why are schools named after anybody? Why are people more upset about old statues than current day black on black murders?

Def not giving his 112%.

My money is on the Silsbillies, but I wouldn't count out WOS by any means.

LCM isn’t In that district. i like Silsbee for the dc and a tossup between WOS Jasper for 2-3 with HF sliding into the fourth spot.

I don’t have a problem with the updated scores in the heading. The posts inside the threads are practically incomprehensible and they litter the entire thread.

Scoreboard Bot is a terrible development

We’re holding back our secret weapons for District Play

You're not wrong.... I don't think you can point at a single cause for what we're seeing. And it was in motion before COVID, too. I'm a big MMA fan, but I think that it has also desensitized people white a bit. When I was a kid, boxing was king on TV and when somebody went down, the other guy was sent to a neutral corner. If you watch fights on TV today, it's gonna be MMA and they're in mount raining down elbows... except there's no ref to save you in the school bathroom. When I see those beatdowns in schools or whatever, I always think "that's nothing that 10 years in the pen won't fix." So often today fights aren't about setting differences or besting someone physically. It's purely an assault done to inflict maximum damage. It's not mutual combat. MOST of the time in these videos it's one of more kids piling on someone that doesn't want to participate.

I thought the same thing... I have a feeling that Fox got the right film and Klein had the wrong one... Mostly because he mentioned the Fox piece but didn't mention the wrong clip being used.

This is a good year for Newton to win... except Newton is off this year, too. I think WOS bounces back this week.

So THIS is the Blue Link Defense we’ve been hearing about! Actually I’m glad they changed the name before this happened.

Y’all all keep losing sight of the big picture. They FINALLY have a “person of color” for a head coach. The rest is irrelevant.

I second this... I can remember once when a couple of guys hopped on one kid at a party and they were considered the biggest losers in the whole wide world. Only a coward would gang up on someone. Square up an do it, or don't. Kids today look up to other kids who gang up and jump on a single kid. "Oh, they snaked him! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" It just feels like a general decay in our social fabric and it's worse in some communities than in others.

Any school that hires a super and fires a head coach three weeks in is a backyard tire fire. No matter what color shirt you’re wearing.

I think it has more to do with the beat down we put on those coo-guhs a few weeks ago, and for that all of Cardinal Nation apologizes.

Brother in law incoming….

I hope it doesn’t come off like I’m wishing bad outcomes on Coach Hickman… my irritation is directed at the admin and people in the community who used everything available (including unproven claims of racism by CT) to make the swap.

In 2015 Jack Dallas was their third option at qb got them a ring. That’s not genetics alone, that’s a system. You can’t win with athleticism, hard work, or coaching alone… it’s a combo. It’s not luck that LCM picked up Peevey and started playing actual ball. WOS will be good, but great is still a big question mark. New coach has some big shoes to fill and my money says that WOS fans will regret hiring a coach solely based on a single qualification that has nothing to do with scheme.

Well, for starters it was most important that the kids have a coach that looks like them.
