  1. Dayton had several starters out, including our Quarterback and big linebacker, not to mention our top receiver who doubles as probably the best defensive back, out for more than a half. Hopefully they will be able to finish the rest of the season, as the potential to win out is there. They are a scrappy bunch and I don't believe they will give up. The AD is retiring, so if the administration and school board choose to look for a replacement and combine the AD and HC  title, there should be enough money to attract a few highly qualified candidates. In my opinion, Dayton does not need a separate AD and HC.

  2. Congrats to Nederland, they played a good game. I think Dayton underestimated the Bulldogs and was out coached. The play calling for the Broncos, especially running the QB to the short side of the field so many times was ridiculous. How many times do the Broncos have to be beat up the middle deep before an adjustment is made? The front three for Nederland beat Dayton's front five most of the night. Back to the drawing board for Dayton.

    I just read this whole thread, and there was literally one comment on the very first page like the ones you're describing that was completely out of line, and that poster had already received a warning from another moderator.  The problem with threads like this is that some people can't handle any negativity about their communities and programs.  This thread contains a lot of truths surrounding the shortcomings ofTarkington football (which would also hold true to several other struggling programs in the area, including my alma mater), and some folks get defensive and don't want to hear it.  Apart from the one comment about inbreeding, for which the poster had already received a warning (I went back and just deleted the post), there's very little on here that criticizes the community or the school beyond issues pertaining to the football field.  I couldn't find a single post about an individual player or coach that was out of line, and just the one about the community as a whole that crossed the line.  Tarkington has averaged about 2 wins a year for the last decade.  Honest talk about the program, and what they've done (and haven't done) to improve that is not "downgrading the kids and community".  

    Negativity about communities and their sports programs are one thing, but all three terms inbreeding, need a new gene pool, and genetic disfunction were all on the first page of this thread and totally inappropriate. Genetic disfunction post is the ninth post on the first page. The other terms were deleted. I made no mention in my post about any comments about a single player or coach that was out of line, nor did I comment on or was offended by any of that discussion. I think you were referring to a post by someone else. The missing teeth term referred to past posts about the same communities mentioned. Thank you for responding to my post.

    Well you know how it goes, some communities can be bashed, others cannot. Barbers Hill has had so much garbage spewed at it, its ridiculous. Haters gonna hate. 

    In a similar vein, coaches are not supposed to be bashed here, per the site rules, but Art Briles is routinely beaten to a bloody pulp and no intervention happens. 

    See, IT ALL DEPENDS.  

     

    I agree, I've heard it all. I have attended many BH games through the years, some football, boys basketball and a ton of girls basketball. Started watching Pennie Hall coached teams in '96, they were so well coached. I still hear how they accuse BH of paying the referees.  

  5. Prairie Man and Texan007 commented on how some are making disparaging comments about kids playing sports and the community as a whole in areas such as Tarkington, WH, HD, and Hardin. I have seen comments about missing teeth, inbreeding, genetic disfunction, and communities needing a new gene pool regarding these communities before their sports programs can be successful and the moderators must have not seen these and called them out on it. I realize there are a lot of topics and comments made on SETX and can understand how they can be overlooked. I have enjoyed this Website for years and hope it continues. The posters that jump at every opportunity to downgrade these kids and communities must certainly do so from a very high perch and air of superiority over the little people from these communities.
