I can't blame Coach Haynes for wanting to get out of this game as you are correct, this game is a complete mismatch. 

However, at the same time, I can't blame Coach Sloan and the folks at H-J for being po'd at now having to scramble to find a 10th game (if this game is actually off).  Scheduling those games are hard enough to do as it is.  West Orange-Stark had to get a charter school for its 10th game.  Silsbee had to get an opponent that is still not officially a varsity team. Jasper had to schedule not 1 but 2, Louisiana charter schools to get a 10 game schedule.  Bridge City, after being jilted in almost a similar manner as this, was not even able to find a 10th game.  For all you and I know, this might have been Coach Sloan's only option for a 10th game.

And let's remember, when this game was agreed to in February of last year, H-J was coming off a 2-8 season, a far cry from the teams in 2013 and 2014 that each went 3 rounds in the 4A, DII playoffs.  That made it look far from the mismatch that it appears to be now.

I agree that an HJ/BC game would be interesting on many different levels.

 

Bridge City is playing at Jasper Sept. 29

    • Well, the ones who are upset by this are the same ones who can’t define a woman. There was another woman who everybody came down on for hunting. We are a nation of the offended.  
    • For what it’s worth, polling after this came out show her with an 81% disapproval rating.  Only 21% of republicans said she’d be a good choice for veep, and only 28% of self-identified “very conservative” voters said she’s a good option.  Bragging about killing a dog apparently resonates poorly across political affiliations.  
    • They don’t, and they won’t.  May not be an issue in South Dakota, but certainly is on the national stage.  Even my mother in law, who strictly watches OAN and thinks Trump is a great guy who’s never committed a crime in his life is completely disgusted by this.  I know about bad dogs, and don’t have an issue with what she did,  and I’m sure most of us on here agree.  But as is often this case, it’s not going to be our opinions that decide this election.  I thought she might be a valuable running mate that could bring in the female vote, but I’m hoping Trump has the sense to stay away from her now.  
    • I like the approach, here it is, if you don’t like it don’t vote for me, it’s refreshing to see the Ronald Reagan approach. Not every statement needs to be based on a perceived reaction from folks. Don’t think for a minute democrats didn’t have this knowledge, just not the right time to use it, remember Romney and the dog carrier, they knew.  
    • The year after he left DC spell had them boys physical… beat Roschon Johnson and the Indians at home. They were roughing him up all night long.
