SFA85 is gone.  So is PNGFan.
LET ME MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR!  If you wish to comment on face, we have a forum down stairs called the Politcal Forum.  There are a bevy of folks down there pro and con that are more than ready to debate or support your views, whatever they may be.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL BE NO RACIAL COMMENTS OR RACE BAITING on any of the sports forums.  Those that wish to do so WILL BE GONE!  THIS AIN'T THE NFL AND I AM SURE AS HELL NOT ROGER GOODELL.  You want to get racial on THIS forum, YOU WILL POST HERE NO MORE!!!!
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS!!!  And if you wish to question, you had better be careful......I AM NOT IN A GOOD MOOD!

To those who followed this thread to follow a football game and got treated to both racial and race baiting comments for the second week in a row, on behlaf of SETXsports, I apologize.  I was tempted to set out a warning post after last week's game but I thought that some would be able to better contain themselves.  I guess I was wrong and I happened to be out of pocket as I was taking my wife to dinner for her birthday, so I am just catching up now.
But I can do something about it now to see that the chances of this happening again are remote. 
The Warden is pissed and some folks will be sent to hole!
 

That’s a punk a## comment from a PNG fan....
 

I'll keep it short.  Congratulations to the Indians on an easy win that was never in doubt from the opening kickoff till the final seconds ticked off.  I hope you all had no injuries and make a good playoff run.  The better team, better coached team and better prepared team won tonight.  
 

Lol.... “by definition, it doesn’t.” 
Anybody who believes racism can’t go both ways is the most ignorant of all the racists.  

Some kids are just tired of the wear and tear on their bodies. The talk about concussions is absolutely having an effect on kids playing longer. 
I think it mostly comes down to being able to fill out a few applications the summer after you graduate with no experience and having your pick of a number of jobs that pay better than anything available in rural areas. I think the idea of driving five miles down the road for a couple years to get a process operators degree and then making $100k plus per year is a definite possibility for kids in the Golden Triangle that just isn’t as realistic as a kid from Burkeville, no offense. 
If your Dad made a good living at the refinery and had a boat and the whole family drove nice cars, you just don’t feel the pressure to keep playing. The same life your dad had is available for you, too.... all you have to do is accept it. 
I know a kid that went to two different pro camps this summer after the draft... neither one worked out, but when the third team called and invited him out, he declined... just wants to wrap up his Masters and get on with life.
I never had the chance to go to the NFL, and I’d like to think nothing would stop me from exhausting every opportunity to play... but I’ve never been in this kid’s shoes and all I can do is understand that it’s the way that HE feels.  
 
 

All kidding aside, a lot of kids from down here really don’t care to play beyond high school. I know... I had one that graduated last year that wouldn’t even bother to talk with college coaches who reached out to him. Anybody who played us last year knew about our o-line. Not a single one of those  seniors is playing ball this fall. It wasn’t because none of them were good enough to play at the next level. In fact, there’s only one kid playing college ball this fall from last year’s team.... and his name didn’t get called over the PA a lot last year if you know what I mean. We just don’t prioritize playing college ball as highly as schools in communities where there aren’t any options for a young man graduating from high school. When high school is over, it’s time to move on with your life... and for all but a few, that means leaving football behind by choice.
As far as you thinking that I “should be uplifting for any high school kid from our area that is going to play college ball,” I think that you kinda have your priorities out-of-whack. 

Oh lawd jesus please don't let Corrigan pull a upset this week lol I might have to disappear and delete my account lol

That kid is starting at QB as a freshmen for Texas St.

I think they are ranked #12 right outside of the top 10  lol

Don't worry Backer, the pain will go away with time. 

BC laundry list of injuries gonna make it real tough this week......

All BS aside, I think Silsbee once again will take the field with a much more talented and faster team.  I think it all comes down to how effectively we can stay inside the chains (we can't keep ending up behind them with pre-snap penalties, etc...) and whether or not we can get any pressure on the Silsbee QB. If Silsbee's QB has enough time to let those speedy receivers get past what's left of our secondary, it's going to be a long night... if we can't keep matching the Tigers TD for TD.  
If it comes down to a coaching duel, I like our chances.
Go Cards!

I think I will take Siksbee in this one. Martin and Taylor maybe a heck of a backfield combo for Siksbee. I don't see anyone holding Barnes and Lowe. Silsbee defense is always a question mark but I think they get it done Friday. 
Silsbee 34
Bridge City 28

For real... Loser of this one might still make the playoffs, but will likely finish far down or last in our district and face somebody like Carthage in the 1st round.  

Someone needs to promise a Silbee D-Linemen a Burger from Hamburger Depot for every tackle behind the line of scrimmage. Important game.  Must win.  I'm confident the Offense will do their thing...

I don’t know what happened to Silsbee, but they have been two different teams this year. I think they regain their confidence and take this game.

Yes we did lose but it damn sure wasn’t the WOS by whatever they wanted, putting Freshmen in at halftime like was predicted. IJS

I get tired of the “Team A has more penalties than Team B, therefore the officiating was bad” line of thinking. 
There will always be bad calls and missed calls.

The Cards will find a way to get it done. 
Go Cards!!!!
 

I can guarantee if PN happens to lose that Roschonsbigbro will be doing the turkeyleg

Yes.  I'm aware of his situation last year relinquishing the RB spot for the better of the team.  Having to do it again and be mature about it.  Tells me about his character.  I can't wait to give him some encouraging words when I see him...

It didn’t hurt for y’all that we lost Baker and Lara. That #28 took his first snaps that I’ve paid attention to tonight. The loss of Tims on defense was a big one tonight, too. 
I looked up one time and one of our offensive guards was in the secondary on defense. The last kid kicking off is a d-lineman in his first game back from breaking his arm. I’ve never seen him kick before. That’s why we were going for two. It wasn’t strategy. 
Good game Bears. How’s it feel to be alone atop the district? Nice work, and good for you LCM17... you’ve been like Moses in the wilderness. Enjoy the ride, Amigo.
