CardinalBacker got a reaction from Hagar in Turf fields
Is this a joke?
The only label Silsbee’s stadium has is for having the most jacked-up playing surface in SETX. That’s the reason why (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) Silsbee has never hosted a playoff game.
Jasper, PNG, The Butch, Huffman, and probably even Lumberton, are all nicer football facilities than Silsbee’s. Livingston is the only local school that I can think of with worse parking. Plus Silsbee’s lighting is bad. I like the dirt pile, though. Except that’s not dirt, it’s a big pile of dashed hopes, unfulfilled dreams, and excuses.
Even Bridge City gets a flyover by the Mosquito Control plane. Silsbee is downwind of Evadale on a bad night.

The Legend of Jack Dallas.
Three straight SC games with 2 rings.
Plus a much deserved Willie Ray Smith award.
Nobody else even comes close to those stats

CardinalBacker got a reaction from Hagar in Slavery Never Ended -- It Was Perfected!
No... a slave by definition was the property of another, not the government. There were few (if any) rights that were afforded to the enslaved.
I do, however, think that we have ceded too many of our personal freedoms in exchange for “safety” and “the greater good.”
My take on modern slavery is totally different. I think it was outlawed in the 1860s but definitely exists. Our urban areas are modern plantations.... they just don’t require anybody to get up and head out to the fields and nobody realizes that they are free to go. Dependence on our modern welfare system has ruined the lives of millions of Americans.

I never saw "southern" slavery until just now.

Slavery in the U S defined slaves as chattel property. Like cattle, or goats. Your comparison of that to having to get permission to drive or fish is juvenile at best, irresponsible at worst.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up I don't know, man... any time that they start loading the bodies in semi-trailers I get a little concerned.
But that's just me.

Dontre had the better year, but Jack had the better career. Jack's first year, he led the Mustangs to the championship game after going into the summer of that season as the slated starting quarterback..........of the JV team.

CardinalBacker got a reaction from SmashMouth in Let’s Pray they DON’T
Jumbo Fisher was talking about the possibility of A&M playing their games in empty stadiums this fall.
I still think we’ll be fine by the fall, but this thing has defied my expectations all of the way around.

CardinalBacker got a reaction from Boneyard Boys in 10-4A-1 Who wins it.
Let's see.... Vidor tended to stay in the mix in 5A and Lumberton didn't. I don't see those levels of performance changing.

I just turned it on last weekend... I hadn’t heard anything about it, but I watched the whole thing. Nobody could make up a story like that.
Joe mostly wanted to be famous... I hope somebody tells him how famous he is right now.

Michael was a family friend of ours. He and my wife were in the band together at Lamar. He was her big brother. Very sad day for all of us.

CardinalBacker reacted to navydawg31 in If..
Well if you read the title it says If. If the schools are closed. But at this rate I am sure it’s going to happen.
