Silsbee is going to crush us and I feel awful for these kids already. They grew up dreaming of wearing that silver hat and being part of a legacy of greatness. The only thing that kept us in this game was effort from the players and their athleticism. It is so hard watching it die. Can you even sort of imagine those runs right up the gut against a real WO-S defense?

WO-S as a legendary program is done. Apparently it is going to take some folks multiple faceplants to realize it, but that winning percentage is going to plummet faster than you might expect. No one is saying that WO-S won't compete. Occasionally they will field a talented squad that will partially overcome coaching shortcomings, but our reign as a program that is routinely a cut above with kids dreaming of a silver hat from peewee on is over. Don't know what you got til its gone. We predicted this.

What you "believe" really doesn't matter. This was talked about long ago... If the right predecessor was not selected, it would all come tumbling down and we were right on the mark.

2022 version...
"The Mustangs will go far in the playoffs, they said. They do have the talent and athletes like in years past , they said. They are having a down year, they said. See, they lost 5 regular season games they said. Well, well, but now here they are going home after the 1st round and now playing basketball in December. Never overestimate the new Mustangs staff”

I had expected it to take longer to plunge the program into mediocrity, but maybe it is a fitting tribute. Hopefully people will finally realize just how singularly important Coach Thompson was to the program and the real ramifications of his absence.

who said they were an expert? when did this become a place where one cannot express an opinion, expert or not?

I am shocked by the number of people that seem to be unaware that Coach T was there from the very beginning. That was his team long before he was the head coach. We had a brief period when he left and then he came back. We saw what happened. The proof was in the pudding and some folks can't see it. They will learn now. Plenty of schools in the area have had horses over the years. There was a reason for the consistent success and it wasn't just the athletes. The slow degradation cometh and the legacy is about to fade. It will be slow enough that it'll be gone before people realize it. Like anything else, all good things must come to an end.

wow, so there ARE sane people that comment here :)))

You peoples’ deified adoration of Donald Trump is downright creepy. He could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and you’d accuse the FBI of a setup. The man is a grifter who is  sciopathically  narcissistic.  Federal judges don’t issue search warrants on  a whim. He’s already been caught smuggling documents out of the White House.  The law is the law and if you’re a suspect, you get investigated. Biden didn’t ask his FBI chief for a loyalty pledge. He understands separation of powers. You conspiracy clowns only believe in the justice system when your enemies are being investigated. When it’s your demigod under investigation, it’s heresy. I have no TDS, your cute little acronym for anyone who questions your omniscient leader. I believe in the rule of law, I believe Donald  Trump has broken it, and I believe he’s going to pay.

I'm not trying to diminish one over another and I didn't play, so I am going by what my friends who did had to say. I was there 85-89 when the dynasty started and back then it was understood that although Dan was the head coach, that was Coach T's team. "Defense wins championships." Coach T became DC in 1981. He was also the strength and conditioning coach. Also importantly, he was the disciplinarian. WO-S' reputation is defense and conditioning. Discipline.
From 1985 to now WO-S has missed the playoffs just 5 times. '92 when we forfeited some district games, '99, then 2001-2003.
Coach T was gone to Palestine and Huntsville 2001-2003.
It could be a wild coincidence. The district was tough. Going 8-2 and missing the playoffs is tough. But, it could also be the proof in the pudding. I bleed blue and silver. I WANT to be wrong. I just don't think I am.
People were fighting for Toby because they believed he was the best chance to continue a legacy because he spent so much of his life a part of it. Every little change we hear about from outsiders coming in sounds like the death of what has worked for so long. It just sounds like it is really finally over.

An awful lot of folks have no idea what we lost with his retirement. They are about to find out. His imprint was on that program LONG before he "officially" took the reins. Irreplaceable.

So , it sounds like you guys think that any view that does not comport with your views is ipso facto "divisive." It also sounds like you guys think that the majority or popular view is the one that should prevail. Simultaneously, you appear to support the side that lost the majority or popular vote by a pretty significant margin. Weird echo chamber here. One would think there should be lots of cognitive dissonance, but I guess that requires cognition . . . 

I will defend Hillary. I do not agree with her politically on a variety of issues, but she is probably more qualified to be president than anyone else who has ever run for it and she is certainly more qualified and capable than anyone in this race. I have no doubt that she has enough concern for this country and her legacy that she will handle it responsibly. She is intelligent capable and experienced. The political propaganda attacks on her are hilarious. Republicans control virtually all of the legislative apparatus and most of the executive apparatus in this country, spent millions with this Benghazi farce, and it turns out there is nothing of substance in her woodpile. She has been under intense scrutiny and outright attack for literally over 25 years. If there was really any substance to these wild allegations, does anyone actually believe that somehow ALL of the Republicans in places of power have either been coopted or bought off to maintain their silence? It would be more comical if it wasn't just sad.
Trump is a clown show, trolling his own supporters, demonstrating just how far we have fallen. This whole circus has been scripted. Hillary was presumed to be the heir as soon as she lost the nomination to Obama. The entire reason for the Benghazi investigations was simply because that was the ONLY ground available for the GOP to build an attack. It has been remarkably effective as millions of people assume she actually had something to do with wrongdoing there. Just like millions of people thought that Iraq had something to do with 9/11. The beat goes on. Trump has had ties to the Clintons for a long time. His nomination sealed her ascension. And you bought it.
Can you imagine if a democratic nominee acted like Trump and said and did the things he has done? Trying to equate Trump and Hillary is a joke. On you.
