Badsanta with just a complaint but no solution.  Go figure.  My guy should be on there, but I can't tell you who to take off?  As with ALL lists, there are those who don't quite make it that feel slighted.  Such is life.  

Thanks Dickie!

Thanks Dickie!

Another conference championship for baseball. 
First since 2012 and DP’s first in Austin! 
This ain’t last year.

“I have recently realized that I am either too old or too young to just play games when it comes to coaching. In other words, high school athletics for me is not just about passing time or doing something for amusement. There are two parts to this thought process:
If we are keeping score, we are playing to win. 
It has to be about something more than the score and trophy.
Coaching for me has usually included something more: Core values and priorities. I have found that this has made me a better person, as it has caused me to continually examine and improve my own core values and priorities, so that I might be a more effective coach and teacher. In the realm of high school football, both the need and the cost of winning has never been higher:
NEED—Sports are so much more visible than they used to be; patience is much less existent. Players, parents, and communities all want a winner, as it is sure to propel them onto bigger and better things. A coach can be a sensation one year, on “the hot seat” the next, and can be the hottest commodity around after that. It’s all part of the deal when you are cashing in the big-time paycheck of coaching (high school coaches who read this are laughing loudly now). 
COST—The arms race is not just limited to powerful countries, but has developed its own niche in football. Teams are constantly searching for the new product, scheme, or activity that will put them over the top. More and more resources (time and money) are used to take a program to the next level. Improvement must be constant; if you’re not moving forward, you’re falling behind. The increased cost of football means a couple of things:
If a team is going to be competitive, they have to be willing to pay the price. If they want to be champions, they have to go above-and-beyond the average. There is no way around this—the price for victory must paid or it cannot be obtained. If parts of the program are not willing to ante up their share, others must pay more from their resources. The demands of the job are growing—not only in the area of “what it takes to win”, but also in what is expected of the coach. He is expected to not only win, but also: to get his players to college; solve all problems associated with members of the program (“Your star can’t remember to bring a pencil to class and drives too fast in the parking lot; what are you going to do about it?”); and, to be on call most hours of the day.
The hindrances for coaching are growing. Things like increased paperwork requirements (currently 7 different forms for every player) combined with lack of access to facilities make the job harder. The demands of the job are growing; the hindrances to the job are growing; the resources are not. I find myself lacking resources. My choices then become to change the priorities of the program (character development and winning), change my values and priorities in order to make up the difference, or change the leadership of the program.
I find that I can no longer be the type of person I want to be and still run the type of program I want to run in the current environment. It is for these reasons that I have decided to tender my resignation as Head Football Coach of Hernando High School. I have enjoyed the experience of working with some excellent people while here, and thank you for the opportunity to do so. I wish you continued good fortune with both the success of your program and in the development of the young men of character that our world so desperately needs.”
 

Texas swept TCU and won the Big 12 title outright.  
 
Okie Lt led the division by 3 games with 4 to play and went 0-4 while Texas went 4-0

Head:  Michigan vs Nova...Nova wins it all.
Heart:  Loyola vs Kansas...Kansas too much takes it all.  

Most likely because it was completely his fault that they were terrible.  If you can't take a terrible basketball team and turn them into champions after one year then you have no business coaching. 
"eyes rolled"

I think Dickie V should get it purely for entertainment purposes on this message board.  Place would go crazy.  

Records are relative. Kind of like coach of the year awards. Usually go to a coach who's team either won state or at least made a deep playoff run (there have probably been exceptions). The real coach of the year was probably some coach that no one heard about ,at a school no one thinks about, that didn't have squat to work with, that took a team that should of gone 0-fer or maybe a win or two and went 5-5 or 6-4.....
I'm sure plenty will disagree, but some might agree....

Big 12 with 4 of the remaining 12 teams in the tournament.  TeamFirst may even know those percentages.  SEC u later. 

So UT superior to aTm in this too?  Gotcha. 

It’s wild that this administration will actually follow the law.......
 
Asked for further explanation on the department’s position, Hill said Friday, “Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, not gender identity.”

So no QB or CB in entire class for LSU?  Gonna hard to play 7 on 7 like that lol.  Coach O gettin it dun.  

I keep looking for LSU in the top 10 in recruiting, but don't see them?  I need a report from TeamFirst.  What's going on in Cajun Country.  

That's weird.... I use a computer to do all of my math for me.  
It's never made a mistake yet. 
Sounds like somebody got reminded that the education system is here to support the athletic programs... not the other way around. 

Thank God he is trying to gut that ridiculous Obamacare program.  My family's health insurance and premiums have risen each year since it's inception.  I guess when you hand out free health insurance, someone (working class) has to foot the bill.  Not a big fan of being forced to pay for other people's free stuff. 

Team First is the heckler at a baseball game. Never has a team to root for. 
Just heckle, HECKLE
Still can’t fix stupid 

Yep, once we add the linemen then we jump to the #1 recruiting class.  Good call teamfirst!

LOL...still whining.  Best team won.  Get more disciplined.  It's not a track meet, it's a football game.  They line up and run the 100 m, PAM wins.  They line up and play football, PNG wins.  Tough pill for you to swallow I guess.  

Man, that is "Remaining Strength of Schedule". Texas already played Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and USC that is not being factored in. See a more accurate ranking system that ranks the schedule for the year, up to the date. Check my link above and tell me about it. Texas #4 Toughest schedule in the country to Aggie #37...SMH.

Now losing to Troy St. at home on your homecoming?  That's a bad loss. #SECSEC
