    I stole this from another board, but it represents my sentiments regarding some of the comments made here toward Skip. This guy said it better than I could have...

    "No matter how good you are, or think you are, you can never take winning for granted. Witness tonight - Baylor, the first team with a losing record at the time of the game to take out a #1 teams in NCAA history. The same Baylor that we all know has NO DEFENSE.

    Stanford holds Oregon to only 14 points and wins in overtime 17-14. This is the Oregon that has dominated the west coast teams and put up a lot of points all year.



    Very well said!

    My real message to the Navasota's, Stephenville's, West Orange Stark's, Carthage's, LaMarque's and all the other teams still in the playoffs---A true champion plays every down of every game like they are the underdog. It is alright to be confident if you back it up with the way you play. Being cocky is believing that you can't be beat. There are a lot of teams that have players with special skills, but only a few that get the most out of every player on the team. Practice with pride, play with pride, but win or lose with class."

    ...and to add to it... We as WOS fans have witnessed our own "Baylor vs K-States":

    1990 #1 WO-S (10-0) loses to CE King (4-6) in the first round

    1998 #1 WO-S (10-0) loses to Silsbee (6-4) in the first round. A team we had shut out earlier in the season.

    Everybody has their own opinions, but respect should never be confused with a lack of confidence... Those who think it is don't really understand one or the other... JMO

    Tonight I saw my 1st Mustang playoff game since 1988.  See I moved out of state before the 89 season got started and while i always have followed the Mustangs via friends, family, newspapers, radio and eventually the internet, I hadn't seen any playoff games and probably only a very few regular season games scattered through the years.  I moved back to Orange this last summer.  Since I never seen much (if any) of the teams through the 90's and 2000's I can only speak of the teams I watched from 77-89.  So here are my top 5 teams.  I am interested and looking forward to readings yalls responses.

    1) 1987- That 15-0 team will probably be #1 on most if not all lists.  The standard bearer for all Mustang teams to live up too.

    2)  I guess most would say the 1986 state champion team, but the 1985 team was a pretty darn good club as well.  That year they went 10-0 in the regular season and lost 19-6 to a VERY good Houston Yates team.  I believe the 19 points Yates scored was by far their lowest point output of the season. (I think they were averaging something like 50 a game). Too me, had WO-S beat Yates they would have won the 5a title that year as Yates did.  But they didn't beat Yates so I guess the 86 team gets the #2 spot.

    3) The above mentioned 1985 squad.

    4)  The 1988 state finalist team.

    5) 1980.  Steve McCarty's last season. That years team was 9-1 with the only loss coming to Port Arthur Thomas Jefferson. That was the team that featured Todd Dodge and Brent Duhon and were ranked #1 all season.  Sad part is this 1980 team was probably better than the 1979 WO-S team which won district but since at that time only the district champions went to the playoffs, the Mustangs stayed home.

    There you have it. Like I stated earlier I can only speak of the team i followed, so i look forward to reading your opinions.
