I miss my dear friend every day.

If DuBois can find a passer, and will throw some, the Slot T will work great.  And like I’ve heard, he has a great bunch of Juniors to be coming up, he should have a great two starting years.  2025 will tell the tale if the first two are successful.  To my knowledge his previous HC jobs were at schools not previously running the Slot T.  Kids in Vidor been running it since flag football.
And again, Best of luck to Coach Dubois.
  

I have a relative like that. Maybe everyone does.
It is more woke nonsense but has been around a lot longer than woke.
American exceptionalism offends the heck out of some people. 

ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I wouldn’t have stopped either.  
That’s a what if with a few scenarios.
What if the officer was running radar but he was not watching it at the moment both passed? You can tell that they were both speeding, but it was only his judgment as he was not looking at the radar. The officer could certainly make a lawful traffic stop using his opinion on what he saw, but can you justify citation for court and prove beyond a reasonable doubt?
What if he saw both cars speeding but then saw the second car committee second traffic violation and since he could probably only stop one, chose the driver that didn’t use the turn signal?
What if the officer just randomly chose one of the cars and after speaking with the driver, wrote only the citation for no turn signal?
 I hated writing citations and rarely did. 
 

I was being facetious.  Coincidentally.. I like the Slot-T.  I also like the spread.. and I like most offensive schemes when ran successfully.  None of them are designed to fail.  No coach says, "We're going to run this offense.. and hope for a few yards or even getting back to the line of scrimmage.  And if not, we'll just punt and try again next drive."  They're all designed to lead into substantial gains.. Having said that, the slot-t isn't good for playing catchup.  So when you need quick scores or to make up ground, it's not good.  But, the slot-t wins state titles every year.  Hard to say it isn't effective.  I like to think coaches do what they feel puts the team in the best situation to win games based on either their personnel or knowledge. 

Sarcasm understood, Mine was continuing the sarcasm. Agree with you 100%. The Slot T clearly works as do most systems when run and executed correctly. 

It's hilarious to me.  The Orangefield Coach/Team was emphatically congratulated on the season they had... while running the Slot-T.  Coincidentally, the predicted front runner and spread team of the district (Anahuac).. had their season ended by eventual state champ and another Slot-T team (Franklin).
It's almost as if people don't realize the irony. 

Congrats Vidor I wish you all the best and Hope for many successful seasons.

Sinking fast, my friend!  😁

Final day of 13 days to glory?

In 2016 Dubois’s BC team threw the ball occasionally. They hit the tailback and what I’d call a tight end numerous times through the season. I felt like Dubois would have opened it up even more if we’d had more arm on the qb. 
I have a good friend who played in a wing T system in West Texas all through jh and high school and he came with us to a game or two.  One of the things that he pointed out to me was how our qb would pop his head up on passing plays immediately after faking the handoff.  He was like "yeah, our coach killed me over and over for that..." Dubois will throw it if he's got a kid that's capable. 

If the QB is not developed early on, such as middle school then you won't have one ready by the time he gets to varsity.   If the system is changed it will need to be on the lower levels as well.

It's funny how in this world, you really can't have a opinion. Matthews did a hell of a job, and changed many kids lives for the better. In the eyes of every fans you are judged on the what have you done lately rule. Let's be honest with coaches from High School to Pros, you must win, you are judged by that. I feel if Matthews schemed a passing game into his playbook, his teams would have been difficult to beat over the years. However my hat is off to this guy on a great job. I enjoyed the games my sons played against him. Wish you much success coach.

A lot of conjecture/unsubstantiated rumor being tossed around about crap that most on here have no idea about. I don’t know Coach DuBois, but I wish him the best of luck. 
 
GO RAIDERS!

But.. but.. he's not elite..
 

Btw, for those of you that think the Slot T is boring, you must not have seen the 32 Wham out of the “I” formation from Coach Brown.  Personally I thought the world of him, but his play calling left a lot to be desired.
My son played OT & DT as did the other tackle (1986 I think).  Both ended up joining the Marines.  Figured the jarheads couldn’t throw anything at them they hadn’t already seen. On a side note, they were some of the first troops to land and met each other on the tarmac in Saudi, and was in Desert Storm.  Other young man passed away over a year ago.

A man to look up to. 😂😂👽😂😂

Baddog beat me to the "Bluto" Blutarsky quote, lol.

Heck baddog, this Administration has just figured out it was the Japanese that attacked Pearl Harbor.

Just reading through these. My brother jokes that he still has shoulder trouble from my dad yanking him up on any deep fly ball back in the dome foam days.  Thanks for the memory. 

What’s a real knee slapper is THIS administration is just now figuring this China Virus stuff out, when everyone else knew it all along. What nit-wits. 

😂🤣
 
Kerry didn’t think they were having a serious conversation about climate change because he got caught in a BS lie! Lol

I actually know this one….Texas Independence Day. Gave a short speech over the school PA system in 8th grade @ Bowie Jr. High school in Beaumont.
