    I only said that because I thought the previous  poster was being hypothetical...  meaning passing teams are affected by rain, not particularly WO-S...

    I was speaking more in general. Both WOS and Silsbee seem balanced. I would argue that a running team, would have an advantage in wind and rain over a team that throws 50 times a game. I wasn't talking about last years WOS/Silsbee matchup.

    Weather effects both teams and benefits NO ONE.  Smh.  It's all about preparation and execution...

    That's not entirely true. Torrential rain can neutralize a predominate passing team if said team doesn't have a strong run game. Not necessarily the case with WOS or Silsbee, just in general.

    Oh, I do hope you'll need your rain gear.

    Who else is superstitious about sports?  I certainly was when I played back in the ancient times.  Silly.  I had to eat a grapefruit on Thursday night watching a particular TV show or else I would jinx us.  Don't remember the show, don't remember how it got started.  

    Last night I felt I had to change seats at the half because the Tigers were flat.  Seemed like the Buffaloes had the formula.  The Tigers weren't out of it by any means but they needed some breaks and some big plays.     So I changed seats and look what happened, 28 unanswered points in the second half.  My rational brain tells me that it's happenstance coupled with the fact that the Tigers stepped up and performed.  But my primitive brain tells me it was all because I changed seats.

    Last year at Legacy there was a moment when it looked like Cuero was about to take control for good.  The grandkids were with us there at Legacy and they are big Harry Potter fans.  Cuero had just scored and was driving again so I told them needed something so they should cast a spell.  Happily they obliged.  They consulted among themselves and came up with a hex and chanted some Potter stuff and waved their arms and the next play the Tigers recovered a fumble and ran it back for a touchdown.  I mean the very next play!  Remember the play?  It was hilarious!  You should have seen their faces.  "Granddaddy!  It worked!  It actually worked!  We did it!  We did it!"  It's become legend in our family already.

    See?  That's how these things get started.

    And now it's the rain.  If it rains the Tigers will beat the Mustangs in playoff situations.  The quality of the teams has nothing to do with it.  It's the rain you see.  I was there in 98, wasn't it at TJ stadium?  My daughter was a senior.  I was there last year when it was obvious to everyone that WOS looked very uncomfortable right from the start but the Tigers seemed to be thrilled thrilled that it was storming.  Weather is the great equalized and that's factual and reasonable.  But what day it decides to rain is happenstance.  And I love it.  And why not?Usually these things are decided in delivery rooms 17 or 18 years ago or by who moves to what town are by who can find and keep the best coach.  But every now and then fate rears it's disturbing head. 

    I wonder if the Mustangs would trade every single one of those regular season wins for the two Tiger postseason wins?  Oh those lovely intangibles.

    Anyway, PM showers on Thursday but it will have moved off by Friday.  Oh well.  Doesn't mean the Tigers have to lose.  Does it?  I'm calling the grandkids.

    That game in ‘98 was our “Murphy’s Law” of games. We made every mistake imaginable in that game. All 3 phases..... Not trying to take anything away from the Tigers that year, but we were making mistakes that we hadn’t made in 2 seasons!

    If LCM would have beat LaMarque. Might have gotten a ring. We scored the most on them in the playoffs

    Y’all had what La Marque had not seen...a very well run option with Omey at the helm! I was there, In the dome on y’alls sideline. I remember thinking it was just a matter of time before the Coogs would figure out how to defend it. They were that good. I was hoping y’all would win to avenge our loss. We had them, we just broke down and make mistakes we hadn’t made all season. Can’t beat an elite team with mistakes like that.
