No, an 8-0 record by an average score of 37-6 makes it real easy for the "WOS group" to talk smack about Lumberton. P.S. to WOS92. No, what YOU just posted was the funniest thing I ever read! I gotta remember that joke.

Friday, July 28th, Oxnard-California 6:26am-Never fails, everyone I know, knows I'm in California, but they always forget about the 2-hour difference in time...argh! 6:45am-My head is still on central time, plus I can't get back to sleep...time to get to camp and hug Coach Parcells. 9:05am-After an incredible breakfast at the Ventura Beach Marriott (ham and egg omelet with pepper jack cheese), Jamie and I arrive at the Hayes RV Luxury Suite...otherwise known as the place where everyone in camp wishes they could be. 9:15am-Cowboys staff member asks when we'll start cooking the food...now I know why everyone was excited to see us. 9:30am-Jamie Lent, Mike Laroux, and I check in for credentials. Cowboys PR stud Brett Daniels tells me that T.O. might be the only one "off-limits" for interviews this summer. 10:15am-Jamie Lent discover "ants" infiltrating our kitchen sink in the RV...apparently tasting Mike Laroux's loaf of bread. 11:00am-Bill Parcells Press Conference about to begin, I can't control myself!!! Did I hear Jerry Jones say he "hopes" the Cowboys make the post-season? You sign T.O., Vanderjagt, extend Parcells contract, and you "hope" to make the playoffs? The ultimate Cowboys optimist has been muzzled? 17 of the 44 questions during today's press conference were about Terrell Owens...none of them were something we haven't already heard before... 2:07pm-Sports Talk begins... Jennifer Floyd-Engel tells me she wants to be in California, but won't be here until August 5th...we'll miss her. ESPN's John Clayton says covering Cowboys Training Camp is always a circus... Most open-line callers appear happy with the Rangers trading for Carlos Lee...most defend Jerry Jones for "toning down his Cowboys predictions." 5:00pm-Sports Talk ends...seemed like another good show. We start having player interviews on Monday. 5:15pm-First T.O. sighting around our RV and Smoker...talking with a couple of teammates... Smoaky's Camp Goal---get T.O. to the smoker, and eventually an interview inside the Hayes RV Luxury Suite. 5:45pm-Dinner time...time for some Buffalo Wings, and beating Jamie Lent and my son Craig in Putt-Putt. 8:05pm-Jamie had steak quesadillas, Craig ordered a healthy chicken salad, and I gobbled down a cajun chicken sandwich. We ate at Cronie's Bar & Grill...always good food, nice atmosphere, but terrible service and it was hot as heck. Sunday, July 30th...Cowboys lose a tight end, one practice today... 10:00am-I'm in a rut for breakfast, third straight day of ham and cheese omelet, although I added some veggies (mushrooms, green peppers, and onions) today. Tomorrow--no doubt, I'm ordering waffles with lots of syrup and butter. 11:30am-Bill Parcells Press Conference Notes *Tight end Brett Pierce has been lost for the season after reinjuring his ACL. *Defensive end Marcus Spears is having surgery today on his torn meniscus, should be back within 2-3 weeks. *Offensive tackle Flozell Adams will practice today, apparently ran 86 50-yard dashes on Saturday, although I would think "dashes" might be exaggerated. *Parcells said his short conversation with defensive end Greg Ellis was nothing more than talking technique, and Parcells says he and Ellis have a very good relationship and the ability to separate the business side of the game from the on-field side of the game. *Parcells singled out cornerback Terrance Newman as perhaps the most dedicated and player with the most commitment of anyone on the team for his off-season workout regimen. Parcells also added offensive tackle Rob Pettiti probably improved the most of any one player during the off-season...but said the second-year pro must take that improvement from the weight room onto the field. *Parcells said he's asked Newman to take any punt return duties "more seriously", and that he will be used as a spot return man at times...although the Cowboys are hoping Skylar Green gets most of those returns. *Parcells called tight end Jason Whitten "The Big Easy", in reference to Whitten riding the big wave (contract extension)...and says Whitten has a high ceiling, but not quite ready to include him in the same breath as Ben Coates and Mark Bavaro. *When asked which side of the ball is easier to rebuild through the draft... I think the defense for me personally, because there's wider array of people that I can look at and say this guy fits here specifically, and the key position on offense is at quarterback, and there are just very few of those options available to you on a yearly basis. And some of the one's that appear to be the cream of the crop for that year, have of those aren't any good at the end of the day." 1:03pm-Jamie Lent and I are on our way to Walmart to shop for football cards. 2:00pm-Fairly uneventful practice, intermixed with some special teams work for the first time. Linebacker Kevin Burnett and offensive tackle Marc Colombo were involved in a little cat-fight during the team scrimmage portion of practice. Burnett tried to land a punch, but the 6-8, 320-pound Colombo didn't seem fazed. I originally thought Greg Ellis was involved, but as usual he was a peace-keeper. Cowboys will have an intra-squad scrimmage next Saturday, and of course that's when coaches can see even more on tape, with younger players and bubble players under fire. 7:00pm-Jamie Lent, Craig Smoak, and I went to Andria's for some great seafood, but the line out the front door scared us off. The line suggests great food that's worth waiting for, but we didn't have time to wait.

Actually, WOS and NED are even in the last six games (NED is up 3-2 in the past 5, though). WOS won in 2000, NED won from 01-03, and WOS won in 04 and 05. NED and WOS share the benefit of having good, stable coaching staffs. We lost a few key members of our coaching squad in 01 and didn't get them back until 04, and you see how much of a difference it made for us. When you talk about how come WOS or NED can win games against teams most people think will beat them, it has to be about good coaching -- getting players to be overachievers.

Well I am a Junior for the Lumberton Football Team, and I was one of those 6 sophmores that were moved up last season, we were some of the best players on that team. This summer everybody has been workin hard to get ready for this football season, we have a good attitude about this year, we want to change things, prove our community wrong and prove others that have graduated that we are not a losing team and all this hype will be for real. Our parents have been in full support of us throughout the years. Coach C has a great offense and everbody knows how to run it, we have good players and a good coaching staff so be ready for us to make some noise this year. Yea guys mock me all you want talk down to me and our team it will just make us work harder to prove everybody wrong. Good Luck to all the teams this year in Southeast Texas

yea lol but those days are over.....again i say, lets talk about a winning texas team.....lets talk about the rangers

ASTROS LOSE!!!!!ASTROS LOSE!!!!YES!!!! in case yall havent guessed, i hate the astros because they are stupid........lets talk about a good team like the rangers........ill start..........how bout them rangers???

There are some rules, but it's pretty much common sense issues -- don't call people names (you may not even be allowed to use anyone's name in a negative context during your speech), limit the discussion to 5 minutes (if there are a lot of people, they will ask the audience to limit the number of people who will talk on the topic), and a few other minor things they'll explain at the meeting. The MOST IMPORTANT THING: Get there early to put your name on the list of people who wish to address the board. If you don't get your name on the list, you can't speak! According to the WOCCISD website (www.woccisd.net), the board meeting will begin at 6:00 on Monday, July 31 (my birthday). The meetings are held at the administration building behind what I used to call East Campus near what used to be Wells Fargo bank (on 15th street and Green). I think the vote is going to pass without much issue, so, as emotional as this may be for some people, let's try to hold our head up high and act civilized. Ms. Martin is a joke and everyone knows it -- even she knows it -- so let's have a good laugh at her expense. Who knows? Perhaps the board can give me a pretty cool birthday present by naming my favorite stadium in honor of one of the greatest coaches in Texas!

Im not totaly sure of the rules, but of what I hear, GoStangs likes to fight the woman to death. The way he is, we may not have to talk at all. One thing I wanted to do, was for all of us to wear WOS football shirts!!!

Blue, get the respect before you talk the smack! I will go out on a limb here and say that Lumberton does not make the playoffs this year. It looks to me like about a five horse race for 3 spots. I see it this way: Central Nederland Ozen Dayton PNG Any 3-way combination of the the above would not surprise me. Anybody besides these 5 making it would surpise me.

the worst i have ever played in was against H-J my sophmore year (03-04 i think) at Buna we lost 71-15 we had 14 guys that night on the varsity. our starting quarterback was sick with the flu our center had gotten hurt in practice the day before. Some guys had failed and quit and one guy got in a wreck that ended his season. on the last play of the game the QB for H-J faked the kneel and ran it in for another touchdown. talk about sportsmanship. I was a sophmore weighing in at about 165 pounds roughly and had to play center for the first time all year and I was blockin this nose guard who looked like he had just got out of the pin and had a beard. I remember one play he took me with one hand and threw me into the backfield. That game was the worst for me. The worst I have ever been to as far as weather I'm not sure but as far as play I saw LCM get beat by PNG pretty bad one year. I also heard that at a Coldspring game last year there were kids sent to the hospital because of fighting on the field. Not sure on the truth in that but if so I bet that was a bad game.

Unless at least two of your losses are in pre-district, 7-3 probably won't get ya the playoffs in that district. If you earn that record though, you'll have to beat New Caney, Cleveland, LC-M and Vidor. That's four wins. That means you'll have to pull off at least THREE major upsets among your games with PN-G, Nederland, Ozen, Central and Bridge City. I just don't see that happening. Certainly anything is possible, but y'all are just going to have to prove it on the field. All of this talk is kind of funny to those of us not from Lumberton.

Oh my!! This is getting good! I like people that can take some smack talk!! :wink: This makes it fun! Earlier you said 7 and 3. Who are the 3 yall will lose to?

It is easy to talk smack about Lumberton from the WOS group because you know you don't have to play the Raider's this year...so just keep talking....but Bridge City will find out first hand...wait and see.

Ok this will be the look of 22-4A Nov 10th. Talk all the smack, and ya'll will this is the fact. Central Nederland Lumberton Dayton Ozen Vidor PNG LCM Raider Pride!

Pretty neat site, except for this comment While in Orange, I re-met old friends wherever I went-- I knew some of the police and fire staff; I interviewed the county judge as his daughter was my high school homecoming date years ago; when my careful navigating got our satellite truck stuck in mud, my high school friends pulled us out with their F-250. Im going to have to have a talk with this guy :twisted:

9.3 on Pinkston in 1999..... Was loading the boat after a day of fishing on Pinkston. Pulled the boat out of the water and started putting my rods into the rod box. I noticed that one of my reels had a slight backlash so I walked down to the boat ramp and casted the spinnerbait into the water to get the backlash out. I caught the 9.3 on the retrieve! TALK ABOUT LUCK!!! BTW, if you have never fished on Pinkston, you are missing out! That lake is FULL of big bass!!!!!!

But he has a point. If the media didn't talk about HS games and promote them, then what? I'm done with this dicussion.

can anyone answer my question? why is Silsbee so special this year? they have always given wos a good game in past years, and there is a lot of talk that the district may come down to wos and silsbee.

You watched it? Pro Wrestling talk has been hot on here. You would be surprised how many people like it.

awww. Bless your heart. I'll give 'em 2-8. Undefeated in JV means about as much as it does in Pop Warner. It doesn't always translate to varsity. We've had some LOUSY JV teams, and when do you remember a LOUSY WO-S varsity team? I don't. It's not the same. I'm sorry, but I can't put that much faith into a team that lost to Gulf Shores Academy. With all due respect, that might be the most embarrassing loss any team in this area has ever had, including the WO-S 84-0 beating of Lincoln back in 93. I'm sorry if this is disrespectful or harsh, but you guys from Lumberton have to understand that NOBODY is going to buy the talk from a team like the raiders until they've at least STARTED to walk the walk. Last year's team didn't even crawl.

Tony Gwynn, Jr. collects 1st MLB hit exactly 24 years after his father's first hit San Francisco Giants 7 Milwaukee Brewers 6 July 19, 2006 (by JANIE McCAULEY, AP Sports Writer) SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Barry Bonds bobbed his head and sang along to an old hip-hop tune by Bobby Brown while sitting back in his chair, seemingly without a worry in the world. A day before he could be indicted, Bonds delivered the big hit that started San Francisco's winning rally Wednesday. Ray Durham capped the comeback, hitting a two-run single off closer Derrick Turnbow's glove in the ninth inning as the Giants turned a couple of lucky bounces into a 7-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Back in his corner of the clubhouse afterward, Bonds enjoyed Brown's song "My Prerogative." Bonds could be indicted by a grand jury on perjury and tax evasion charges as soon as Thursday. Bonds led off the ninth with a pinch-hit single, right after Turnbow thought he'd struck out the Giants star. The seven-time NL MVP, who turns 42 on Monday, did not start following Tuesday's night game. "I just saw it and hit it, that's it," Bonds said. "Just like Ray did. ... It's hard to pinch-hit in that situation. He got ahead of me early and I worked the count full." When asked whether he was anxious about a potential indictment, Bonds said he would only answer baseball-related questions. Eventually, he lifted his hands to shoo away a group of reporters. "See you later. Have fun," he said. Jose Vizcaino pinch-ran for Bonds, and with one out, Steve Finley hit a chopper up the middle that skipped past shortstop Bill Hall and deflected off second baseman Rickie Weeks' mitt. The ball bounded into center field for a double, and Moises Alou was intentionally walked to load the bases. Durham, who homered earlier, hit a one-hopper that could've become a game-ending double play. Instead, Turnbow reached for the ball and it glanced off his glove and caromed into right-center for the game-winner. San Francisco earned its second straight one-run victory following a team meeting Tuesday, giving the Giants momentum going into a four-game series at home against NL West-leading San Diego starting Thursday night. "The win is a huge lift," said Durham, who homered for the fifth time in eight games to give him 15 on the year. "If we lost with the first-place Padres coming in, it would have been a struggle. I was sitting on a fastball and he got two strikes on me, then I got my fastball. The ball hit the pitcher's glove and I think it would have been a bang-bang play, but there was no way I was getting doubled off, no chance." Turnbow (4-6) blew his fourth save in his last seven appearances and was so upset he declined to talk to reporters. "He threw the ball well today," manager Ned Yost said. "The 2-2 pitch to Barry might have been a strike but it wasn't, because it's Barry. Finley's ball was a tough play. It had a strange hop." Gabe Gross hit a three-run homer, Carlos Lee hit a two-run homer and Hall added a solo shot for the Brewers. Tony Gwynn Jr. had a pinch-hit double off Brian Wilson in the Milwaukee ninth for his first Major League hit. His father's first Major League hit -- also a double -- came exactly 24 years earlier to the day, on July 19, 1982, for the Padres. The younger Gwynn received a standing ovation when his accomplishment was announced between innings. "He hit a double, too," said the rookie outfielder, who was told before the game that it was the anniversary of his dad's first hit. Brian Wilson (1-0) pitched one inning for his first Major League victory. "I don't really think about wins," he said. "The whole game was a ton of emotion. We all felt we were going to win, even down five runs." Lee connected in the first, sending the first pitch from Matt Morris over the wall in left-center for his 27th homer of the year. Hall led off the second with his 19th homer and second of this series, in which he drove in five runs. Gross homered in the third and fans began booing Morris as the Brewers' hits total increased. Durham hit a two-run homer in the fifth off Doug Davis that pulled the Giants to 6-4. San Francisco rookie Eliezer Alfonzo hit a solo homer in the eighth, and also doubled and singled. Finley had two doubles and a single, a sacrifice fly and scored twice. Morris came close to having his five-game winning streak snapped. He hasn't lost since June 9 against Pittsburgh. Notes Lee homered for the first time in the second half, with his last coming July 9 in a loss to the Chicago Cubs ... San Francisco's Omar Vizquel stole his 17th base ... Giants catcher Eliezer Alfonzo stole the first base of his career.
