[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="959307" timestamp="1296615996"] Nederland and PNG both open with 21-3A playoff teams from last year. Nederland travels to West Orange-Stark and PNG will host Bridge City Feb 22. [/quote] Admin,  No BC vs. Nederland games this year?  Usually they play a few times in pre-district and the Bulldog Classic.  I guess with no Bulldog Classic this year(for the 1st time in 40+ years  >:( ) they don't play each other at all.  These were usually some pretty competitive games.

Felts and Bellow both had rbi's in the game. [Hidden Content]

Good video.  It looks like Kirby is getting a lot of playing time. What number was Felts?

[quote name="BaseballWarrior" post="958579" timestamp="1296575105"] Wouldn't this still be a violation if the athlete competed in baseball on tuesday, and ran track on tuesday wednesday or thursday? Or what about a UIL Academic event? What would be the ruling on that and where would the violation be implemented if it is a violation? [/quote] I'm not sure.  I don't know if that rule is correct.  How would small schools make it, when their students compete in every sport?

An "activity" is a game I think.  Students can only play in 1 game per week on a school night excluding a limited number of tournament and rainouts etc.  Most teams play Tuesday and Friday with Friday not being a school night. I know in the past coaches were able to move the Tuesday games up for weather, but not the Friday game because they had already played one that week. I may be wrong on that, but that is how it was explained to me.

Game Monday at 8pm Should be a closer game this time in College Station.

[quote name="bullets13" post="957527" timestamp="1296362154"] Great 10 day stretch for the horns!  Double-digit wins vs. #11 aTm, @ #2 Kansas, @ Okie Lt, and vs. #13 Mizzou!  They're 6-0 in the Big XII for the first time in school history, and they're already through the meat of their schedule.  They have a big game in College Station on Monday, and after that, they finish conference play against 9 unranked teams.  If they can beat the Ags monday [b](who are coming off an embarassing loss to Nebraska[/b]), they have a fairly reasonable shot at a 16-0 conference record going into the Big XII tourney.  [/quote] Nebraska was favored to win the game by 2.5 points at home, so I don't see how the loss was that embarrassing.  Nebraska is 15-5 and should make the tourney.  Still A&M didn't come to play and it showed.  They will have to play much better tomorrow against tu to have a chance.

[/quote] I know Crosby will be tough with Gabby on the mound.  He should be one of the top pitchers in the area this year.  Who's their #2? What does BH have coming back? 

[quote name="Rebel Yeller" post="956363" timestamp="1296229802"] [quote author=ForeverADog link=topic=79067.msg956345#msg956345 date=1296228703] Not being able to beat an upper classification team means you aren't better than that team. [/quote] The point is we do not get the opportunity to even try, since no 5A will ever schedule a 1A team. But each classification has to beat who they are in the class with. The teams in AA or AAA ball never get to play in the MLB World Series, but they get to compete for the championship of their league. We are 1A and being the best 1A is what we shoot for. Now for a final question is being the state champion in 1A better than being a district champion in any other class that gets knocked out short of the state title? Just a question.   [/quote] Winning the a state title is a huge accomplishment and the boys should be very proud no matter what the classification.  The coaches have recognized Evadale as the best 1A team in the state, but that does not mean they could compete with the bigger schools in the area. I've only seen Evadale play once. It was a few years ago against Nederland's JV that was comprised mostly of freshman.  Nederland knocked out their All State picher in the 2nd inning and went on to win the game easily. The other game that I know of against a bigger school was against WOS last year.  WOS was a 3rd place team that barely made the playoffs and beat Evadale 11-0 in 5 innings.  They will get another shot at a better WOS team this year, so maybe they will prove me wrong. I wish Evadale the best of luck and hope they win state, but when it comes to being on of the best 5 or 10 teams in the area,  I just don't see it.

Astros just signed him to a 3 year-$34 million dollar extension.  $11+ mil a year for a 32 year old with a career losing record??  I guess the Stros didn't learn from overpaying Carlos Lee. I knew I should have made my kid a lefty.  ;)

Didn't see where J'Covan deserved a technical on that one.

He just banked a three in from 25 feet with no time on the shot clock.  Everything is going right for tu the last 7 min.

I dosed off for a few minutes.  What the heck happened?

That was my first time to watch Texas play this year.  I was impressed with their defense and their play inside.  If they play like that Saturday, they will beat Kansas

39-27 Texas leads at half

I hope A&M has enough players to finish the game.

20-5 tu leads with 7 min gone

[quote name="Scooter!" post="951450" timestamp="1295489580"] Knight just said J'Covan is the best guard UT has  ;D [/quote] He is probably the most talented, I don't know about the best.

Not a good start for the Ags

It's about game time.  I'm ready to go.

Palmero is one of 4 players EVER with 3,000 hits and 500 Hrs and he only gets 11%!  This HOF voting is turning into a joke.  I believe most of the players from that era were "using" something,  take the best players and move on.

Palmero, McGwire, and Bagwell all got less than 50%.  The voters have penalized the "suspected" steroid guys.

Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar were the only 2 inductees.

I don't think there is anyway he gets in on the 1st ballot.  The voters have been tough on the guys with the steroid cloud on their name.  His numbers don't really compare with some of the other HR hitters of his era. Career stats-  15 years .297 ba    2,314 hits    449 Hrs     1,529 rbis

Bagwell is up for the 1st time. Does he get in?
