What has happened to Jasper?


Recommended Posts

During the previous regime, only 12 teams missed the playoffs in 10 years.  Last year only 3 of 8 made the playoffs and this year only Football made it. 4 times all 8 made playoffs. 5 if you include COVID year. I worked with Coach Crumedy for several weeks in the spring of 22 when he first got the job.  I am sure he will get this turned around, unless they are losing kids.

Ok, I'm fair -- why do you think this is political?

Fair? It has nothing to do with fairness... It's a high school sports topic. Lol. I guess you could put it in the "Locker Room". I don't think there's a "Who Really Cares" forum...

The point of me saying fair, is that I was just curious why this person thought it should be in the political section.  Maybe he/she can convince us.  🤷‍♂️

I'm not convinced.  High school football is the best place for this, and if he actually wants responses, it shouldn't be an issue for me to move it, which is what I'm doing.  That said, I swear there was a thread on this very thing started before there.

The football team made it to the Regional Final. Things are better in Jasper than they have been in many years.

In these 5 sports (volleyball, boys/girls basketball, baseball and softball) Jasper went a combined 2-58 in district play. Winless in volleyball, boys/girls basketball. One win each in baseball and softball.

I would say that things overall are not better than the last several years. Particularly in basketball and baseball.

What about track?

About the same as they have always been the last several years. They are good. I wouldn't say they are better or worse though.

Regional Final in football overrides all the other stuff. Track holding serve is a reflection of the football program. Good times in Jasper. Can’t wait to see how they do this coming year.

In your opinion. Many others would disagree.

The subject was the overall athletic program. Not just football.

Yep, things are going great as long as football is good and track holding serve. Anyone know how Newton is doing in the other sports?

Maybe.. however..  Many athletic director / head football coach have lost their job despite the athletic program as a whole being successful.. if the football team struggles.  On the other hand, when football teams are doing great but the rest of the program stinks.. AD/HFC still keeps their job.

WOS.  Newton. .. programs as a whole were fairly weak during those many years of football power and very few people even knew it.  Or cared. Yet, AD/HFC kept their jobs for years.

Meanwhile, I remember an AD/HFC at Barbers Hill lost his job after every program in the school won district championships and even had several team sports (baseball, softball, girls hoops, etc.) making runs at state.  But the football team was mediocre.  Fired.

I'm not saying you're wrong, just that perception is reality.  And the perception is that your athletic program can suck as long as football wins.. it doesn't matter how strong the athletic program is if football sucks.

Never understood why you can't be good at all 4 major sports.

If you are talented enough, and athletic enough to be a Regional Finalist football team, then you would think you would be athletic enough to at least be competitive in basketball. If you wanted to be......

And as big a baseball town as Jasper is, where did that tradition go? Where are those kids now?

I wasn't arguing the point of how an AD keeps his job. The question was "what has happened to Jasper" as in their whole athletic department. They were much much better in those other sports even when football was successful. Not anymore.

Something definitely has changed.

Roger.  I misread your comment.

Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

    • I’ve stated over and over that I don’t think that the hush money trial has merit. I also don’t think that the fraud/appraisals case in NYC had merit, either. I think that the evidence in the Election Tampering case down in Georgia is pretty damning, and the case about mishandling documents down in Florida is a real problem for Trump… because that’s what intelligent people do-look at the facts make sound decisions not based on their pwecious feewings.  You know, just saying “Bah! It’s all a bunch of lies because I love him!” Or “of course he did it! I hate him.” But thought processes are something most people are incapable of. They only manage to scroll social media for posts that validate their own opinions and them off as truth or fact when they are just outright lies… but they make the re-poster feel good inside so he believes them without question.    Every time I soundly refute the  idea that trump was good for the economy, y’all yell “but COVID!” His tax cuts provided a short term bubble in the economy by way of an exploding deficit and debt that our grandkids will still be paying interest upon 50 years from now even prior to COVID.  It’s like when Mama takes over the family finances, maxes out all of the credit cards and drives the family into bankruptcy.  Y’all would be the spoiled brat, immature and stupid children that spout off “things were so much better when Mom was handling the finances! We had everything we wanted! Put her back in charge!” Anybody that says “Trump was good for the economy” is just letting they world known that they don’t understand micro/macro economics or the effects of rising interest rates have on a debt the size of ours.    What none of you seem to realize is that the problems were facing today (interest rates and inflation) would be occurring even if Trump were in office because his fiscal policies are more flawed than either conservatives or liberals.    Libs: we should raise taxes on the rich and spend more! Conservatives: We should cut taxes on everybody but cut spending!   Trump: We’re gonna cut taxes and spend more!    It’s a recipe for pure disaster. He’s literally the guy who says “we’re gonna buy high, sell low, and make it up in volume!”    
    • The problem our buddy @CardinalBacker has is that the Dems have been cheating Trump since before his inauguration.  There's 4 cheats going on right now against a private citizen.  But yet he wants us to believe that the 2020 election was squeaky clean.  No cheating what so ever.  That a brain dead individual got 81 million votes.  But the other guy that was supposed to be so bad got 74 million, the most any President ever got for reelection.  Evil people don't turn on and off their evil cheating ways.

    • You just analogized to a tee the situation going on with the Trump New York trial. And I bet you can't even see the hypocrisy elicited out of your hatred. You once again outed yourself...without any realization of your actions. I'm not sure if Reagan actually set you up to expose your blatant hypocrisy, or if it was just a happy coincidence. You seem to thrive on humiliating yourself. Now get to work on providing that evidence of your emphatic declarations that Trump's economy was horrible. You failed miserably before, I bet you will again.
