Old Pirate

I been on this old river bank since that Lucky Gamble fellow jumped off the train in these parts and will be here long after this McDaniel fellow leaves town. The school - supt. & board - ain't done much right since Gamble concerning football. Comeaux was the closest they come. McDaniel will probably do the best he can but it don't change the fact he's hired because of the Red Raider connection after getting run off at New Diana. As far Bickham, people don't talk about the fact that he coached them DOWN. That group that graduated in 07 beat everyone's tail in 7th grade, 8th grade, and as freshmen on JV - including the mighty East Chambers Pirates. Then they held their own as sophomores against varsity competition. Then Bickham comes and they finish third two years - Comeaux would have at least gotten second out of that bunch. But now since Bickham gets there they go down to third. Then this year we see how great a coach Mr. B was with his wonderful district record. They should have gave it to Pachuca, he has givien them two great years and if they couldn't see what a fine coach and man he was in that time then they don't need to be in their positions. I agree with SteelerCzy, come election time some NEW folks need to be in charge and that goes for MR. RED RAIDER, too, I could tell you some stories on that one but it can wait for another thread. Wish this McDaniel fellow the best since he is here.
