If you have not been implying this whole thread that Boutte was not covered because he is black, and the other coaches you mentioned were white, then my apoplgies.

Because it wasn't mentioned on here either!

The BEAUMONT Enterprise has NEVER been home to Sutherland, yet anytime he has as much as a hangnail, they ALWAYS have a story on it! Besides, KFDM, KBMT, and FOX cover the entire area, right? And Kate Steinle has NOTHING to do with this subject matter. Typical Republican diversion, that my guy BlueDove usually speaks of...smh...Bottom line, it was not covered and it very well SHOULD have been.  Don't you think so, stevenash?

You brought race into it. Typical. Things do not change, partly at least, because everything is racist,

LCM has been a tear in the playoffs and Griff deserves all the credit in the world. With that being said, they did have to play a "playoff game" just to get in.

Jasper ends the Cinderella story this week, IMO. 

Good hire 

It does not matter how many years your kid plays select balll. There is only one way a PARENT should have any say whatsoever in regards to what happens with coaching. Get on the school board. The school board is people, elected by the people. Good for the parents getting their kid in select ball. However, to think that somehow gives you any say so whatsoever as to what goes on at the school is comical. If little johnny and his parent are that frustrated with the program there, this is america, and you have a right to move wherever you want. 

Lets please put to rest that select ball dads and moms should have any input on a baseball schools program. Get real.

Nobody is above a program. Dang sure no player, and absolutely no parent.

If PNG doesn't win with the 2 pitchers they have and defense - not good for the coach.  With MUCH respect to the Henry kid, there are scouts all across America looking at other "Henrys" too.  Not to discount his talent or future  but as a matter of fact that is whats happening to 100s or 1,000s of HS pitchers across the nation.  We played them tough the 1st district game- when he got ejected and his Dad started Easter bunny hopping on the field.  still cant believe it  no consequences  for either the daddy or player by the district, coach or UIL  Guess that's the way things are going.

Is it the coaches fault that PNG gave up 6 runs with their Ace pitching. I guess we can also blame him for the offense scoring 1 one. When all else fails, put it on the coach. A district championship in a very competitive district, that seems good for the coach.

Then Brad Stevens is one of best coaches in the country.

Brad Stevens is one of the best coaches in the country.

Finished close to the top for coach of the year. Has significantly overachieved in his two years with that team.

Also took BUTLER to the final 4 a couple of times I believe.

So lift to the point that most of the players were so sore they could barely walk.....Yes it was a scrimmage/warm-up, followed the next day by a district game for 2nd place. 

 

If your working hard ALL YEAR, one workout in MAY should not make you so sore you can't walk.

The title of this thread is priceless.

We (baseball players) lifted on the offseason football schedule, but that was years ago.

Yes but what about men who no longer have a penis.

Well, I guess that makes them women. I'm okay with that.

My view on it is this

Be whatever you want to be. I have ZERO issue with someone elses sexuality or gender identification. I want to make that clear.

In regards to public bathrooms: If you have a penis, pee in the Mens restroom. If you do not, pee in the Womens restroom.

I guess so.  So that means we have to 50 run rule you again in football.  What goes around comes around

I don't think any of them girls will be playing football next year, could be wrong. Beating up on the boys does "come around" for the girls program.

Most republicans I know don't think that anyone in their party does anything wrong. most dems I know don't trust either party

I am a Republican. I don't think Teddy or Donny are right for our party. Also, I do not believe that either of them can beat Hilary head up, which is very sad. I think there are more Republicans that will admit there candidates suck more than Democrats. Nobody in their right mind can honestly think Hilary Clinton should be President, just has Donald Trump has no business. Unless something crazy happens and Kasich wins the election, this could be the worse election to ever happen to this country.

It's still innings .. Which I don't agree with .. It should be pitch count ... 

It may be different for different places. I know our tournament last weekend was based on "outs". Pitcher guidelines were for 27 "outs". Which, to me, 9 innings in one weekend is absurd.  

As of yesterday, a close family member of his said he had not been offered the Woodville job.

I'm not taking shots at anybody, just assuming since a few of you guys were so quick to defend d3 sports that you must have a connection somehow, otherwise how would be be so imminently knowledgeable on the topic

 

and yes..everybody for Central is a great player, the problem is coaching, for the last 30 years across 3 schools after countless coaching changes, no Beaumont schools have been able to find the right guy, yeah that's probably it. Cuz we all know that the players are always showing up to practice and making it to summer workouts and that they are all D-1 or D-3 (same thing) talents if they would just be coached right. I mean look at lil' roger, his dad was in the marching band and his mom quit basketball in 7th grade but he's a by gawd stud and if they don't win it's on the coaches. 

Anybody can talk with sarcasm. Most people who do, do it because they are no real argument and cannot come up with anything legit to say. Nobody has claimed that "everybody for Central is a great player" (ignorant statement #3). You also insinuated that Nederland has more depth in terms of solid football players than Central, that is laughable. (#4) Centrals depth athletically is the only thing they have going for them.

alright alright alright....I retract my high school 2.0 statement

congratulations to you guys or your kids (whichever it was) for playing D3 sports

back to the topic though...I stand by my previous statement for every college player at those schools there are some downright bad players to balance it out, not much in the middle, this to me is their biggest problems. 

You made an ignorant statement. No reason to take shots at anybody else, or their kids because you don't know what your talking about.

And nobody that plays significant time for Central are downright bad players. They are loaded with talent across the board. Another ignorant comment.

0-2

not really the discussion, but I think you misunderstand me...I'm not saying the kids at d3 schools are bad, but they don't really compare to D-1 or even D-2 level talent...they are usually guys that were good high school football players. Let's say a good, solid, talented high school football players is a 0, and a D-1 prospect with multiple offers from major conference schools is a 3.....I'd say the average d-3 player is around 1.....a few steps removed from the other guys. Hat's off to them for continuing the play, but if they were really all that talented somebody would be paying them to play (by scholarship) than them paying to play (by paying private school tuition) 

I see both sides of the arguement. However, those private institutions that do not "give athletic scholarships", very much DO give scholarships. There are easy loopholes. The admissions and financial offices are aware (often told by coaches) who those highly skilled athletes are. They are taken care of. I know this to be a fact. So though they are not getting full rides at Bama, a large portion of them are getting substantial help from the D-3 schools. Very, very few are paying private school tuition.

I find it funny that so many people on this site believe that lower levels of NCAA are so bad.  Lower levels of college still have kids that are really good.  They're doing everything in their power to recruit the best players possible just like the "big boys".  College teams beat schools in a higher division every single year.  They may not be beating the Alabamas of the world....but 98%+ of the kids on just about any high school team can't go play at a vast majority of D3 schools in the country.  I didn't say be on the team..I said play.  Yes D3 schools may have some sub par kids on the roster..but the ones that play are good.  

This is a point that is often overlooked. There is a HUGE difference between going to play for and actually playing for. 

Congrats Zach. Lamar is a fine program.

The majority of NFL teams have nature grass fields. Guess the NFL is "behind the times"

Congrats to both! Good luck playing at the next level. 

Pig Boy strikes again. What a loser.
