If you care to re-read, I didn't brand any person a racist.   I discussed racist statements.  I feel bad that we live in a society where people saying "a person of color should get that job" is ok, but saying "a white person should get that job" is a racial atrocity.  Or saying "Blacks don't make good QBs" is racist, but saying "a team can't win unless they have black players" is justified.  The statements are the same. 
It might be rare to find an all-white team that wins on occasion, but it's not hard at all to find hundreds of diverse teams that lose all of the time.  That kinda invalidates the whole "you gotta have black athletes to win" argument.  
 

Now we know where McGallion is headed.  I mean, why would they settle for Fedora when you can have SILSBEE's coach?

Here's the irony and the sad shape of the country that we live in.... Posters say that "you can't win without black athletes"...  but that is a racist statement.  The fact that the poster doesn't even realize how racist and marginalizing his statement is indicates a very small-minded approach to a very big world with a lot of complex ideas.  The posters have no problem, however, recognizing implied racism in a statement about building low income housing to attract better athletes.  "They" must mean minorties, and therefore the statement is racist, according to the simple-minded.  If you have a problem with the insinuation that building low income housing will attract minorties, then you should also have a problem with the statement about needing black athletes to win in SETX.  I think the argument about "needing black athletes to win" is just as stupid as saying "black athletes don't make good QBs..."  
To further illustrate this point, the Silsbee coaching thread should be mentioned.  A poster mentioned how he felt the next coach should be a "person of color."  That, in and of itself, is just as racist of a statement as somebody saying they "really need to hire another white guy."  However, the small-minded racist will justify one statement at the detriment of the other because of  his own personal beliefs... at the end of the day, both statements are racist.  They really need to hire the person that is going to be the best at properly motivating the kids to win the most games possible.... whether he or she  is white, black, or spotted.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out it's bad business to spend 20 million or so dollars on facilites so that a dozen athletic kids get a scholarship.
Want to go to college for free?  Check out the GI Bill.  The Army could always use some athletes.
No way out my you-know-what.  
 
 
 
 
 

Orangefield looks like something from Grapes of Wrath

Who is they? Please enlighten us...

I think even with the change in Silsbee now they will still be a strong contender for the district championship.

Does that mean Winters won't be transferring to BC?

see, thats the problem right there. If any parent in this area wants to gripe about a "tough" workout, drive down Newton street to the back of the WOS fieldhouse from August to December. Then they will see what a real "tough" workout is. All you hear from other places is people saying why cant we be like them? Or how do they continue to do it? Well because we didnt call it a "tough" workout at WOS, we just always called it normal practice. Its a mind set people. Plain and simple. #2015Statechamps is what that gets you......
 
Sorry, off soap box now. LOL. Just irks me when I hear parents gripe about coaches being too hard on their kids.

The entire O line is coming back (bigger and better), plus the horse RB from last year.  Most of the defensive line will return as well... The defense is going to decide how we do this year.  How well the LBs and secondary progress is gonna be key.  The defense struggled through district play last year, and our middle linebacker and heavy hitter safety are both graduating.  The QB is graduating, but his little brother took all of the JV snaps this year and will start as a junior next year.  He's the coach's younger son and has been playing in our system for years. We don't expect a letdown at QB, despite the change. 
 
We're excited and expecting big things from the team this year.  This is the second offseason under Dubois' program, and we think if they continue to improve we'll play better ball then we did last year.
 
One thing's for sure... we'll know a lot more about it after we play you guys and WOS.  

Should be a very interesting fall. I'm sure my son is already getting tired of me telling him to make sure the guys are working hard in off-season. Gotta make sure my Birds are ready.
