i'm a living witness to that song being BAD LUCK!!! westfield was in PA and westfield peeps was on the other 5a board at the time saying jamal wasn't gonna run on them, well he did lol...PAM jumped out on them and the birth of that song reared it's ugly head. it was raining that night and we were picked to lose, well mid 4th that song played. One of my best friends  i was sitting next to, Jamie Johnson was so excited we were up big , he began to dance with his umbrella twirling it...next thing you know everyone was doing it. we look up and westfield  is only down by a touchdown or something like 10 points...we had like a 20+ lead on them or 3 td's...ever since, BAD things happen when that song is played. period. the other team scores or the game gets "interesting" all of a sudden. Bigd92 can confirm

Wussup bro, have you seen dist 10? It's a monster. I just don't want us to cruise thru this regular season and run into a buzz saw in the 1st round.

I thought we were friends B..lol

remembering this one ^^^ lol

I think this will be a close game.

Trying not to look too far ahead, but being in this district. Memorial can keep it simple, cruise to the playoffs without opening up the offense, and still have surprises waiting. The only bad thing is they may not have that team that pushes them to see what they got. Last year's loss to PNG, is where the offense found it's legs. I'm trying to figure out who would be that team that forces them to flip that switch. 

lol... Reminds me of the scene from the Temptation movie. I'm  Roshcon and these are the indians. lol..

I think it is time to move in one direction or another.  It has been 5 years since Butch Thomas retired and several audits have been performed by BISD or its associates in regard to BISD while Thomas was the super.
If BISD Board of Managers have the goods on Thomas, then they need to turn it over to the Jefferson County DA or the US Attorney.  Then, an indictment needs to be obtained after which he can be tried and, if the evidence shows it, convicted.  Once that is done, then I figure that a change of name of the stadium will be no brainer at that time.
However, absent that, BISD, as Dr. Frossard noted, has much bigger fish to fry than whether folks like the name of the football stadium.   It is time to move forward past this time.
Of course, if someone wants to buy the rights to the stadium and rename it, I think BISD should not put up a fight. 

Most people that want the name change, don't even live in Beaumont!

I don't know but when you label someone a 'Crook', out here, you're arrested and put away.  With all the investigations by FBI to name one, when was Thomas arrested?  

That's why certain people are pushing for a change so hard now. They know that board of managers vote will possibly be very different from the elected board's vote. SMDH...

You do know our district is NOT in dire financial straits, contrary to popular believe.  Therefore, it's not like anyone is chomping at the bit to collect money.... Matter of fact, the district still has a pretty good surplus of funds...
Basically, I wish the detractors would just stop skating around the elephant in the room and just say what their real issue is.

He just got an offer from Alabama as well. He's an excellent young man and these offers are well deserved!

Talent wise.  Nederland has some kids every few years or so that are good enough to play in college.  And by and large,  most of them did.  PA sends people every year. So blaming or praising a coach for “getting scholarships “ is kind of silly.  Those kids and their families are doing more of the work on getting the scholarships by uploading videos and social media. But you can only do what you can with what you have.

That was with Port Arthur Jefferson.  As 1985 stated, Thompson's stint at Memorial was less memorable.
Believe me, I am looking forward to a new Memorial coach as much as anyone for I might have a coach there who doesn't feel he is above answering my emails and I won't have a coach's wife who snipes at me by pm when folks on the board pick on her little boy.
However, I think a lot of folks are discounting the results that he had while at Memorial.

Hey Kronos, ya boy dipped on y'all. You made that man feel unappreciated. Had an entire sports site calling him Xbox. Lol Smh. Be free Kenny ray be free
 

I believe this is the best thing that could happen to PAM. His teams won because of the individual talent of players, never because of his superior coaching ability.  Memorial has the talent to make a deep run into the playoffs every year.  I'm hoping they bring in a top quality coach for these kids.  They deserve it.  

You know, there would have been a time I probably would have knocked you off the site.  But really, I think the worst thing I can do to you is to let you continue on and make a rear end of yourself....which may I say you are doing a wonderful job of.
Yes, it is obvious that you know nothing of me or you would know that the last 25 years of my life before this spring were spent in the Greater Houston area....Houston, Katy, Clear Lake and Baytown.  So I speak from experience when I tell you how Houstonians look at us.  And both black and white, it is looking down at us.
Now, believe me, I am no fan of just about anything the pakronos writes here.  And I can show you the posts where I have done the same thing to him that I am doing to you right now. But what YOU have managed to do is give one of his actions credence.  I recall when he wrote about the fact that he would be actively rooting against Vidor AND PN-G.  He mentioned that folks from those communities really wanted Memorial to lose.  By your posts, you have managed to prove that it wasn't one of his senseless rants but that there was some basis behind it.
Congratulations!

LMAO! I'm not touching this one.

IF HE WANTED TO DO SO, I don't know that there would be a single school that would turn down a chance to have Roschon on their team.
But why would a quarterback, who has gotten just about anything that he wanted, including the chance to play for the college of his dreams want to leave the school that has afforded him that chance.  To leave for a school in a town that he has never set foot in?
This is ridiculous and if I were Roschon I would be offended at the implication that my pool of values is that shallow.

RJ will be wearing Purple and White of PNG again next year he's not going anywhere.

I have worked at Memorial Stadium for the past 5 or 6 years. I work in the press box right next door to the visiting coaches room and can tell you that this is a BOLD FACE LIE! I am usually at the stadium 3 hrs before the game starts going all over that place preparing cameras, referee mics etc. I distictly remember going back to the press box elevator, holding the door for your coaches (which was LATE mind you) and showing them their room. At NO TIME were there any "ARMED ESCORTS" with them. Please stop letting your distaste for ONE poster get the best of your mind and fingers. (Clouding your thinking and typing such nonsense)
This is a perfect example of why I've chosen to just read post and not comment. People are just doing the most these days. 

PAK you know this bulldog has been having y’all back since y’all beat us. I almost hit the nail on the head with yalls kicker going to win it for y’all and move onto round 4. 

PAM in a close one IMO. Ball control and game management is key. Can't let Temple get in a rhythm... Change snap counts, have an audible to go to depending upon defensive alignment. Don't hesitate to drop it off for a free 4-5 yard gain until they walk the DB's up. I HATE WHEN COACHES DON'T GIVE THEIR QB THAT LEVERAGE. Make the game simple. Just a few thoughts.

I will say this.  This is from my lil perspective.  Against tough teams (PNG, Ned) you go with your proven players (you'll have to play 4 tough qts.  Decent teams (Central, Lumberton) when the game is out of reach you give your talented back ups more burn ( the backup qb, the two running backs from early in the season #6 and #20.  They play a lot of receivers from what I've seen.  Against trash teams, I would work on certain plays (scenarios) with the starters and start pulling them in the 3rd qt.  It would all go towards keeping everybody fresh for those tough playoff games where you hope everyone will be healthy.
