Here's the thing... they had a hall of fame coach in CT.  There was petition passed around to have him replaced because he was a "racist."  Then he retired.  Many in the community had already expressed a desire that the next HC at WOS be black.  Because, of course, some people wrongly believe that it's not racist to say "yeah, we're gonna hire a black dude this time."  By the time that the applicant list was released, there were only 13 applicants for the position of Head Coach of the winningest football program in Texas.  13.  
Do you want to guess how many people applied for the last opening for a perennial loser like BC? 
But don't take my word for it.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up How many of those 13 applicants weren't black?  Three or four by my math... and the reason is that EVERYBODY knew that the folks making the decisions in West Orange were going hire a black dude, no matter what... especially in light of the petition that they passed around to get rid of the best thing that ever happened to West Orange Football.
So you really shouldn't be too surprised when the people who follow the sport are delighting in the fact that the community/admin's racist ploy to hire "a coach that looks like us" has blown up in their faces.  
My opinion?  WOS should have hired the best guy for the job (regardless of his/her skin color), but it was gonna be hard to find another Hall of Fame coach... and previously playing for one or even working as an assistant under one won't do the trick, as evidenced by the win/loss records of guys like Toby.  
But you only have yourselves to blame for the mess you find yourselves in now.  Who knows?  Maybe if you hadn't been so overt in your branding CT a racist and then publicizing the fact that y'all didn't care if a coach was any good, just so long as he was black, you'd have gotten some decent candidates.  The public and the admin decided that some things were more important than winning, and they got what they asked for.  
 

Nah, this is a west orange team that plays to the level of its competition.  Jasper isn’t close to Silsbee talent-wise, and that was a close one.  My guess is Jasper in a close one but if they blow WOS out, the mustangs have officially quit.  

Senior night and i think it's pink out too. This is going to depend on which team we get on the field Friday night. Is it the one that scores 50 vs Newton. Or the one that can't buy a point in the first half vs BC. Is it the defensive wonder that held both HF's and Silsbee's high power offenses to their lowest point totals of the season?
The ups and downs, highs and lows, are so drastic now that there's no expectations anything will flow from one week to the next. They can't find any solid ground to build on each week. At this point we are exactly in the same position as last season. No progress. Still lost to all the same opponents even though we were home for a few of them. Even though we went to OT with some too. There is no more home field advantage. So now when Jasper steps off the bus Friday we've got our hands full. Hope we get another instant classic that comes down to the final minutes.

Ladybug: “they just hired the wrong black guy.”

Truer words have never been spoken. 

And I WILL be dry humping that mascot if we pull this off.

Still a lot of football left

WOS isn’t a bad team… they’re just not great anymore and it doesn’t sit well with the Mustang faithful. This is a tough district with Silsbee looking like they’re on the elite level, with WOS, Jasper, and HF all mixing it up for those 2-4 slots. WOS in its current configuration would still win a lot of DCs in most districts… just not the one they’re currently in. 
 
The Glory Days of going to state are gone, and just like it is for most teams, they aren’t  coming back. 
 
It’s no longer a football program with a school, but a school with a football team, just like it should be. 

WOS still has a chance to beat Jasper… they definitely beat BC and HJ… they will be in the playoffs

Better now than when they’re no longer the winningest program in the state. 

I'm sitting on the BC side next week

The Republicans refuse to accept victory and do everything in their power to shoot themselves in the foot. 

This would be a great week for Coach Hickman to lock down that contract extension. 

It’s not a “bad” loss on the board, but just an overall poor product on the field by the Stangs. They’re leaving a lot of meat on the bone over there.
I had the same thought. They’re not a bad team, they’re just better than what hit the field last night. 
 
WOS fan is coming to grips with being a good team, not a great or elite team anymore and it stings a little. 

I mean, can you blame him? The community painted him as a racist and sent him off in shame… now they’re destroying his legacy. 
 
I don’t think I’d want to sit with people that did me that way, either.
