i don't see the bashing your talking about.....not in this thread. I read some not so positive post, but far from bashing. Can you point out any statement that was negative or bashing....and that is not a true statement?

CALLING TD CALLING TD TD, Whats your take on this? Your the most rational, level headed (except when someone pisses you off ;D) straight talking wos person I know. I would respect and might even listen to your post ;D

this 1 post shows that some WOS fans are too emotional :'(

Although, I agree with what your saying about commitment, I don't think this had anything to do with VB coach. Her no comment actually translates to "I cannot speak about this because I'm really pissed and will lose my job for telling my real opinion". ;D ;D Are you sure about this statement? Nope.....but it will look pretty bad if the volleyball coach agreed to walk away........don't ya think??

;D ;D ;D

First, this LONG thread has both positive and negative post on it. It has NOTHING (JMO) to do with WOS, it's about the situation and how it WAS handled and how it SHOULD have or COULD have been handled. The only negative post I have seen is on the girls that left their team. I think WOS has a great football program, but I'm starting to think the WOS fans are WAY to emotional. :'( Starting to think? You should have come to me sooner hippy. I could have clued you in. ;D LMAO ;D

Great but what happens when the bus has already left for the game? What if that is the only transportation they student has? How are they supposed to get from the volleyball game to the football game, in Houston, then? It would be different if the game was somewhere such as Beaumont or something but it's in Houston... I think it's called planning

Why do that? People love to down WO-S. Coop.....read some of the WOS comments......they give a lot of ammunition

So now its everybody else's fault because they wont step up and play WOS? : That's a good point. Do you really think it's the traveling part that's the problem.......... Why not blame it on the people that actually made the decision...........and the ones that "let" it happen.

Your probably fixing to get more than you bargained for ;D ;D 8)

This might be a fair statement. I think that WOS is more scrutinized than every other school. So, if that's true.......why? I don't think it has to do with jealousy..... I think it is because of the success of the football program. That may be true for some, but it does not bother me. I hope all of our schools from this area are successful. I think it may be a perception but I don't think it holds to the majority.

I agree, but WOS brings a lot of the negative on themselves........

You know something we don't ??? ???

So how do you choose? The football team can have 3 cheerleaders, and the drill team can have 7 less dancers, but the VB team cannot play with 3 people. And to someone elses point, they could play at 4 and be there by 1/2 time if they planned it.

Where's Skipper when you need him. I bet you he knows someone who is a cousin with one of the buss drivers that talked to the sister of the VB coach ;D ;D

AMEN!!! The rest can stand along the football sidelines the rest of the season. Any reporters out there gonna try to get an interview with the VB coach or Hooks......maybe ask some of these common sense questions??

Your correct but how is HOOKS gonna handle this support his VB coach or tell the VB coach to put the girls back on the team. Hooks should have already handled it before it made news. It's pretty simple, you play volleyball this Friday or you don't cheer, drill whatever the rest of the season. I go back to the VB coach...........how can she coach a team she cannot manage??

Ok, you know the volleyball coach is not happy....if she is happy, she needs another job. So, how is she going to coach that team in the future when those girls walked away from a game. Coaches put in lots of time and take lots of crap. If the coach don't take this well above Hooks' head, I would be surprised..... I would be pissssssed!!

Agreed. The 3 that are not on the drill team or cheerleading squad, gets shoved aside for the good of the football team. Oh, we can't have a non-district football game way over in little Brookshire without some of the cheerleaders and drill team members attending. That would be a travesty. : im not saying this situation is right or wrong but how does this benefit the football team? there is a conflict in schedules,which i dont understand how it happened, and the girls who are involved in more than one activity made a choice with their parents backing. i agree they should get the boot, but i dont understand how anyone has made this a football issue. I think it became a football issue when those girls made the choice to attend the football game. To me, a football team can play without cheerleaders and drill team.........BUT, a volleyball team CANNOT play without the players. To me, irresponsible decision and bad parenting by the parents!!

At one of the games this week, the scoreboard and the officials clock was WAYYYY different in the first half. Luckily, the REF's let us know. Thats an issue, but I doubt the league is gonna pay the $$ for a ref to work the clock.

I AGREE. SHE HAD AN ISSUE ABOUT HER KID'S PLAYIN TIME, AND THAT SHOULDA BEEN HANDLED "IN HOUSE". NOT IN FRONT OF ALL THOSE VISITING COACHES AND PARENTS AND KIDS (WHO WERE STILL WAITING TO GO SHAKE HANDS WITH EACH OTHER). BUT IT'S BEHIND US. AS FOR THE FORFEIT, WELL, IT IS WHAT IT IS. WE BROKE A RULE, WE'LL PAY THA PRICE. BUT I'M SURE I SPEAK FOR ALL MY COACHES AND PARENTS WHEN I TELL U 92 THAT WE APPRECIATE THA SUPPORT. NOT JUST FROM OTHER COACHES IN OUR ORGANIZATION, BUT FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE. AND FROM OUR PARENTS...BCUZ THEY APPRECIATE WHAT WE AS VOLUNTEERS ARE DOING WITH THEIR KIDS. THIS PAST SATURDAY WAS JUST A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD...WE'LL BRUSH OUR SHOULDERS OFF AND CONTINUE TO DO WHAT WE DO EVERY SATURDAY: PLAY HARD, PLAY TOGETHER, PLAY WITH CLASS, AND LET THA SILVER HELMETS DO THA TALKIN!! Previs, way to man up, accept responsibility and move on. That's how a coach is supposed to act!! Good luck in your future games...........you have some excellent coaches and players

Parents, are almost something we should train for ;D ;D
