No it used to happen year after year.  The last few years have been different until this one.  But I do believe what Mike said above teams are coming in and taking advantage of it and we have to stop letting them get to us.

Hats off Jasper, you brought it to us.  4 is a stud!  Then i have tomsay hats off to both teams for a great clean game!!  Not many flaGs at all tonight and i think only 2 15 yarders one for each team and they were both horse collar calls i believe.  Good game for my Tigers too.  A team took us out of our game and yet we fought from behind and pulled it out in the end!!

Wow ok i have 3 season tickets right about the 50 yard line $75 each!!

I heard those turkey legs are very good too, I need to get down there for the experience. Mustang 4 Life!

So far this has been the most undisciplined team that i have seen maybe since Smiths first year here.  Way too may  15 yarders this year as a whole.  People are right if we dont clean that up it is going to cost us big sooner or later.

# 2 in the state 15-7 10:47 left in half

Drelon has to do whats best for him.  Thats a tough decision,  in a way and not so hard in another.  After people have talked about the comparisons that were made to the past teams before this group even stepped foot in high school, i have thought about it a time or two.  That first championship team was just too deep, 2 legitimate starting lineups could have been made.  But comparing to that second team…you still had McCain and Adams…ok you can put Drelon and Harris right there with them.  Tyler thats a tough replacement for this bunch but Bottely does a good job gets ho shooting and great defense.  Down low Williams has been great.  But the spark plug that pushed that group over the top was Bush.  There hasnt been anyone that compared to that.  If Drelon somehow ends up playing Jones may be that sprk plug that just pushes them over the top.

Great game by the Hawks…Not anything to take away from the way HJ played but from the games I have been able to see online or in person in the playoffs,  the Tigers just arent quite playing like they are capable of.  Just dont seem to be able to get on that roll yet.  Hopefully we get there now because its going to take a lot more from here on out.  

Liberty was opportunistic and got A LOT of breaks and apparently they were good enough to take advantage.  They almost lost the ball, but didn't, about 40 times it seemed.  And they turned a bunch of those favorable bounces into points.
The first quarter was almost too good, shades of the best of McCain/Adams/Bush days.  I guess a letdown is always possible after a quarter like that and it came and it was a humdinger.  Outscored by Liberty in the 2nd quarter?  And halftime didn't fix it much they came out flat and the lead shrunk to 13 in the third, and I'm sure I wasn't the only one getting the funny feeling in the pit of my stomach.

The line was what? 36?  A 45 or even 50 point win wasn't out of the question.  But I had a feeling something would happen.  I didn't know what, but something.  In the prediction thread I said around 30, maybe a few more.  

I haven't followed Liberty at all so #3 was a complete surprise to me.  He was all over the place against the No. 3 team in the state.  Is he always like that?  Based on his performance tonight I think he could start for almost all 4A teams in the state, including the Tigers, or if not start then be the 6th man.   I'm watching him warm up, non-descript, wearing glasses, kind of nerdy actually.  And he's introduced as a start.  Hmmm, I wouldn't have figured that.  And then he comes out and basically keeps his lowly 4th place team in the game till they can catch their breath.  I wonder if there may have been a basketball camp or two in his past.  

Williams did not play all night, not sure of first half but he sat whole second half in warmup top.

And the Tigers had Dickinson right where they wanted and let it slip away.

I hate our starts that i have got to see so far. No one can make anything and fall behind by 8-10 early.  I expect the touch of the football players to still be off but Harris seems to be struggling as well. 

Figures i have texanlive…

If they lose to Dickinson, they will play loser of South Grand Prairie/Shadow Creek on Saturday and that will be it from what info I was given. Not sure of the time of that game.

Yes watching now and he was just left open way too many times.

Yes watching now and he was just left open way too many times.

Exactly let them keep going from the 25…..not bring it down to single plays to decide….

This is the part of the overtime rules I do not like.

I understand the coaches wanting not to have to worry about the weather,  but yes a friday afternoon is horrible for fans.  As far as the texans mot wanting a game to be played there on saturday, thats ridiculous.   They just dont want to be embarrassed by having two good teams play there on a saturday when only one good team ever plays there on sunday!

It’s amazing how the Astrodome held three playoff games on Saturday with a game on Sunday. 

BU wins 63-59 after Yates knocks down a pair of fts with 9 secs left.

But at the end Yates is putting it away at the line 58-52 1:00 left

BU is gonna take the air out of the ball now when they have to set up.

Once again i will have to resort to listening and watching online.  Have to go to Rosenberg tonight. My 9 year old has to be at the softball field at 7:45 in the morning for a nice cold wet and nasty tournament!!

I like Scott Loar, who is the commentator that Jasper brought in most of the time, but he goes over the top even for a homer. Ron Vickers has gotten better doing play-by-play, but he struggles a bit with what's happening at times. It's not a shot at either of them, but just an objective observation. We were spoiled by one of the best local announcers around for 40 years. He's a hard act to follow.
I don't know who does Silsbee's games now, but Mike was exceptional as was Gary Stelly in Orange. I'm an audiophile, so I listen to more games than I watch. We had three really good ones in SETX for a long time.
