[quote name="TITAN POWER" post="907214" timestamp="1289679919"] Alright, games in Humble.  Anyone know if tickets will be available at the gate?  Does Humble stadium have plenty of seating? [/quote] You can probably call the HS (Kville that is) Monday morning and they'll be able to fill you in as for tickets. Link to the stadium... [Hidden Content]

[quote name="kville68" post="906837" timestamp="1289663748"] I know that there is an unwritten rule on this site about not agreeing with moderators or "seniors" and that anyone who dares is rediculed but I can not blindley agree with something that is not good for the students or the fans. If you were in Kville on friday you would have seen quite a few high school students around town. I saw two that people on this site would recognize their names. Why were n't they in school? Because they got in to late. I fully support this team and I want them to get what they have worked so hard for. Yes I understand that Jack is limited in his decision but the idea that he gets some magical tactical advantage to playing on Thursday is rediculous. I am not being a whinner because it some inconvienince to me. I am luck enough that my job allows me to take off when I want but how many people can have that option.  My wife helped many of the starters on this team to meet math requierments that not only allowed them to play sports but help them with skills that will allow them to graduate. When she sees them their school work is the first thing they talk about ....Then about how they are going to take the next team they are up against apart! If you want to drink the cool aid that no desicion made in the name of football is above question then go right ahead. There are also band members, cheerleaders and others that are effected.  People in Kirbyville support the Cats win or loose and did way before their recent succeses and will continue to. The team provides a source of pride and polarity that any town would be lucky to have. You question my loyalty as a fan because I disagree with this situation. Well I am a fan of these young men on and off the field. They give up  a lot to their community and I want to see them succeed. This is a lot of talk over a subject that we will never agree on.  We all want to see the keep winning and they never have to worry about fan support. Best of luck Cats! You can do it! [/quote] Then you can your way and I can go mine.  This is about a "football" decision.  Alvarez did what is best for the tam that is what he gets paid for...that and to win games.  Like it or not that is the way it is and will continue to be.  Again, go to his office and tell him what you think and stop hiding from him if you dislike the situation so much.  Throwing a fit on here will not change a single thing.  You are the only one on the soapbox constantly complaining.  Yes, other have voiced their dislike for the situation but they moved on yet you can't let it go.  I'd be more than happy if you just tuned in to the game Thur night.  Or will you be at the game?  As for the unwritten rule I am not sure where you heard that but it isn't so you might want to stop listening to Jim Jones.  We ALL disagree on here.  Even the mods disagree with each other.

[quote name="rykerx144" post="906826" timestamp="1289663488"] Did you ever stop to think that maybe there was a good reason they played on Thurs instead of Fri.  Maybe a reason that was more important than your reason for not playing on Thurs nite?  You are correct on one thing!! They are not thinking about the spectators! They are thinking about the team and what they feel is best for the program to have its best shot at winning this game and moving on!  Thats what they get paid to think about!   You want to watch a team that makes decisions based on whats best for the fans and the logistics of the game and not whats best for the program then watch the 1-8 cowboys!!!  I can assure you the alternative is a flashback of the 1-9 Wildcats and then you would have plenty of time to rest this time of year! [/quote] You're wasting your time.  I've argued this til I was blue in the face. ;D

I've been listening off and on and you seem pretty in touch with K-Ville (I am a Nederland Grad but like to keep up with what the little powerhouse up the road is doing), you must be a young buck to have this much time/care for HS football, enjoy it before you have a wife and kids..Either way good job and keep up the hard work.

Well, shes from Deweyville, so cant read anyway. She makes a killer mac and cheese though. ;) [/quote] You just made my day! lol  I can't stop laughing! :D

[quote name="jr-high-gran" post="906805" timestamp="1289662802"] >:( That is just ridiculous that the games have to be played on a week night. Are they not thinking about the spectators and the students? We would like to go and support our team. But it really makes it hard on the parents and the students that want to go and be there for their. They want the students to be alert in class the next day but are they going to give them a break because they was up the night before cheering they team on. Why NO!!!!! their not going to do that. Make it easier on all of us and have the game either on Friday night or even on a Saturday. Come on People........KIRBYVILLE WILDCATS ROCK we are on a roll and need the SUPPORT OF ALL.......... [/quote] We all understand but Kirbyville and La Vega aren't the only teams in the state playing a Thur game I can promise you that.  We here at setxsports.com would be more than happy if you listened to the broadcast if you cannot make the game.

Thur. 7PM Turner Stadium in Humble

So Joey is coming out of retirement? I knew he would last! ;D

[quote name="w" post="906615" timestamp="1289631512"] It used to be that if the coaches did not agree on something, they have to flip a coin for it.  Does that still ring true?  Also, why would a coach want to play on Thursday night so he could scout on Friday?  They get film on the other teams and they have a scout team that goes to the game.  I can't see purposely making your fans drive a good distance on a Thursday night just so you could scout the next night.  Maybe they couldn't get a stadium on Friday night.  Either way, it helps having fans at the game, getting them pumped up and being loud.  Maybe there are other reasons for scheduling Thursday than just scouting purposes. [/quote] About the scouting on Friday.  It give the head coach and his varsity coaches a chance to get out and see the games themselves which is a huge advantage.  Yes, they will have film of the game they go see but it appears that they like the chances a little better if the varsity coaches are about to do the scouting. The truth is we fans are at their mercy.  They make the call based on the best interest of the team not the fans.  That may seem wrong to many but I don't question Alvarez or La Vega's HC.  The both are very sucessful coaches that have done alot for their towns.

[quote name="kvillefan1992" post="906556" timestamp="1289627986"] I think thats a great idea...All kville teachers...do test on Thurs. Take it easy on our kids friday!!! :) ;D [/quote] Somebody needs to get that message to my boss to let me take off half a day Thur and all Fri. from here on out!  ;D

No kidding.  Applause to you bh89-2!

[quote name="wildcatfan2000" post="906537" timestamp="1289627581"] I'm kinda hoping for Nac. or Huntsville. Not to keen on the Thurs. night games either. I have 2 lil ones in Elem. school and it was rough on them having to wake up this morning to take tests after being in Lufkin last night. If they do choose it to be a Thursday, could they please schedule the tests for Thursday instead. It will be rough on the kids having to take tests after only getting a few hours sleep. But I do see the point on wanting to scout on Fridays after playing on Thurs. It's smart on the coaches part. But rough on those who have to travel and work the next day...or go to school the next morning as well. [/quote] Very respectful post wildcatfan!  We all understand the troubles it causes in the kids having to get up for school.  Trust me I didn't want to go to work (in PA) this morning after driving 2 hrs back to Bmt but I had to.  It's the price we pay for being loyal fans.

[quote name="Wildcat89" post="906512" timestamp="1289627030"] are they still discussin time & place? [/quote] Yes, I haven't gotten word but I will be the first to know.  When I know I will post immediately.

BTW, Kirbyville will be visitors wearing ther "Winning White" uni's and La Vega will be home in blue.

I broadcast the games and I can't make it.  You (Kville68) aren't the only one missing out or unhappy because it will be Thur. but there will be a broadcast of the game and we would be more than happy to have you listen.

[quote name="kville68" post="906462" timestamp="1289625284"] I still say its wrong to schedual it on a Thursday. The team belongs to and represents the entire community. If Alverez did not pick it he still does not have to agree with it.  It is not what is best for the students or[b] student[/b] athlets and that should be enough of a reason. [/quote] You say you support the team to the end.  I have a question for you.  Would you rather be at home missing the playoffs or have a good chance at going back to state?  It's simple.  Sooner or later the games will start being on Fri and Sat until the title game...oh, but wait!  The title game is on a Friday at 4:00pm in Dallas.  I wonder if you will be screaming then if Kville is in the title game?  I don't think so!
