He's steadily improving rapidly. Not that your opinion matters much based on some of the wild projections you've made on this site 

*** Clearly those D1 colleges see it different. Their opinions are the ones that count.

Yes he was.

He is definitely a good looking player and I have no doubt that he is going to be a good QB in the future, but I find it shocking that he has those offers. I would expect a D1/P4 player to dominate 3A JV competition and he did not (at least to the level of that caliber of recruit).

Luke Babin now with 3 offers TT, Baylor an U of H. 

Was he the JV QB this past year?

Most "fans" have never coached a day in their life and don't understand. Hopefully H can pull it out of the ditch this year...

Talent pool is on the rise. Big things coming 

This should be a year for Jasper to win the district but WOS is going to be on the comeback with their young group. WOS will be back to normal next year. HF might be the top competition at the moment. Not sure about Silsbee.

Honest question, are you referrring to him individually or the programs sucess? What would the sucess look like? They were 4th place and lost badly to the three teams ahead of them. They were one TD away from 5th place and no playoffs.     

He played well and had the attention of every team in the district. They will be glad to see him go

Well, I got a whole house full of 1 football player that played in college, 2 cheerleaders one of whom cheered in college. Football games are super important for the cheerleaders, but I would say 80% of their efforts (and my money) went to competitions.

No doubt they spend a lot of time training and competing but cheerleading would not exist without football. Even the schools that don’t have football and still have cheerleading are supported institutionally by the schools that do have football. Cheerleading is part of the “football game day experience”

Maybe the title of the thread should be -

What happened to all Jasper sports, excluding football? 

And also basketball and track. Basketball had losing records 6 out of the last 10 years. Everything is normal there. Volleyball has had horrible years before and so has softball. Probably should make the title: “what happened to Jasper baseball and girls basketball”

I walked by it when I was there watching 2nd round softball vs LaPorte.  It’s gonna be nice. 

Is it going to be ready for the upcoming season? Seems like they have a ways to go.

This whole thread seems odd to me. We have a ex coach wanting someone to say they were better than what you have now. I think coach Crum is doing a outstanding job and definitely going a better job of recruiting players to college than the last Regime.... But this is only my opinion

Yep, his feelings were hurt and he wants to try and detract from what is happening now. Needs to move on.

Probably going into insurance like all coaches tend to do. Our education system is failing more and more. Sad to see. 

No

He didn't account for the '18 season that the Bulldogs were 12-1 and could have easily gone farther barring injuries to key players.

I accounted for it. They made it to the 3rd round. That is not the 4th round. Make sense?

You have said that the playoffs equal success, so yeah they were very successful in making the playoffs. 

You mean “losing season success”? Yes they were very successful at having losing seasons in basketball. In the good years they were mediocre. Baseball is down. Track is the same. Football is better. 
 

The only thing that is worse than normal is baseball. I think the baseball coach is actually from the previous regime. 

5 minutes ago, AHUDDLESTON said:

I don't understand why you keep comparing Jasper to those others.  The question was about for 10 years all teams had success now they don't. Compare Jasper to Jasper.

Not sure what you mean by "all teams had success"? Basketball is doing about like they always have, which is mediocre. Decent year then bad year like normal. (5 of the previous 8 seasons before Crumedy had losing records). Track is similar to normal. Baseball is down.  

One thing for certain is that they went farther than any previous team in football for the last 20 years.

Ask college coaches what type of athletes they prefer…many will say they prefer to have multi sport athletes 

They really just want top players who are the best at the particular sport for which they are being recruited. 

2 hours ago, AggiesAreWe said:

But according to some (one), that's not important in the grand scheme of the overall athletic program.

Just ask @89Falcon

Yep, Spring sports are fun and it is always nice to win but make no mistake, they pale in comparison to winning in football.

Would be interesting to see if Spring sports have the same forum traffic as football on SETX or other platforms?

It was no defence that hurt Rusk. Barrier’s stats were good.

And the coaches at Rusk loved him. He would have been very successful if he had stayed at Rusk (but he would have dealt with Jett Suratt/KJ Edwards till he graduated).

If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.

No, if the football team makes deep runs and the track team stays competitive, he will have plenty of options. Have you ever watched a Gilmer basketball or baseball game?

Coaches can't be in the dugout to coach, but the coaches are setting the schedule. The coaches are organizing it. The coaches are setting the lineup in advance. The coaches are determining who is pitching and how many pitches they are throwing.

Fall baseball is like 7 on 7. The coaches may not be calling he pitches or the plays, but they are in "control" of the situation and they are present and "observing."

Which schools?

We're in a tough spot because I believe the most successful days in football are still in front of Coach Crumedy. Short-term, difficult decisions are probably coming with some of these other coaches. Being the laughingstock of East Texas in every other sport is ridiculous,

It has been working in Newton.

The thread question is about their overall athletic program. Not just football.

If? You talk as they will. Things are so much better.

Understood, as football goes, so goes the program. If football loses or becomes stagnant and mediocre, Jasper will find another AD. If football continues to go deep in the playoffs the AD will be celebrated (just like everywhere else). 

5 minutes ago, AggiesAreWe said:

Your first comment on this thread was saying how Jasper athletic program is so much better because the football team had a good season and despite the fact that the other 5 sports went 2-58 in district play. That's narrow minded.

Got it, you definitely lost track of the transcript. "YOU" specifically referenced my comment about the question about "how football was better" and then you convoluted it with an opinion you made from one of my earlier comments. 

For the record, if Jasper continues to go 4 rounds deep in football there will not be enough losses available in Spring sports to matter and if Jasper can continue to make deep runs the coach will probably receive a raise to entice him to stay. It might be "narrow minded" but is "reality".  

46 minutes ago, AggiesAreWe said:

So if Jasper fails to make it to Regional finals next year, then things are not better?

Saying things are better because of one football season (when the discussion is about the overall athletic program) is pretty narrow minded.

But, coming from you, I completely understand.

Yes, that is how sports and playoffs work. Teams that go farther are considered better than teams that dont. 

As you have lost contact with the transcript and revealed your narrow scope of concentration, my comment was in direct response to the question about "how the football team was better".

A lot of SETX schools play fall ball as well.  Hell, I remember a couple years ago, the starting QB for a local team showed up to the game after football practice still wearing his girdle and thigh pads. 

Which SETX school participates in Fall baseball? Kids in SETX play Fall ball on their own but the only "Fall ball" the schools are playing is football.

Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.

Let me help you understand: "Making it 4 rounds deep is better than not making it 4 rounds deep".
