Back in 70,71 at HF, it seemed like every road game was somebody's homecoming.

Coach Koening was not happy, and called it an insult to be everybody's Homecoming.

This changed over the next several years and didn't get to see those perty homecoming queens anymore. Coach K called it Respect.

Homecoming is nice for girls(being chosen Queen) in all but for the team I see it as a major distraction.Being chosen as the other teams opponent on their homecoming usually fires up the team and sometimes spoils their night. BTW Halftime takes too long on Homecoming night.

Actually, I like what Silsbee decided to do a few years ago for their homecoming. They have decided to schedule homecoming for the best home game on the schedule, regardless of the date or what team it is. This year they have WOS as their homecoming and in the last few years they have had the likes of Jasper, Kirbyville, Nederland and Ozen as their homecoming opponents. This is in no way of offending their opponents. They just decided that they wanted their homecoming game to be the best home game on the schedule. To add more excitement to it, and maybe keep the players more focused on their opponent.

Not trying to dampen the subject, but you need to check your tickets....I show WOS & Silsbee playing in Orange!!!

no offense but i thought it was funny when jasper picked kville in 04-05 for their homecomin and they lost 42-20...so

and in the 05-06 year..kville was chosen for about 3 homecomings...of course we all bea them again..

kville never lost a homecoming game while i was in highschool...so

the other teams get big headed and think that since its their homecoming they can beat us but obviouslly they were wrong..and kville has made sure to win their homecomin for the beneift of the seniors... go cats!!

Yea, and you need to check the date on my post. This thread was from last year. You can see plain as day that my post was posted on Sept. 28, 2006. WOS played in Silsbee last year for Silsbee's homecoming.

In that same year, Silsbee had Kirbyville as the Tiger's homecoming, and Silsbee destroyed the mildcats 41-14. It wasn't even that close.

Back in my day the coach didnt allow players to be escorts for the HC court some coaches do though

Being a homecoming queen escort was one of the perks reserved for the team captains when I played.

Aaaaah ....... nothing like kissing a homecoming queen. *sigh*  The good old days.  ;D

It seems to be a little of both. The stands are always a lot more full during homecoming and a little extra motivation coming from a larger, louder crowd (usually with home fans on the visitor side, too). But the distractions cannot be overlooked. Its all hype during the week and usually it is few of the starters that escort the girls, so they are taken out of a lot of the halftime speaches and adjustments.

I'm thinking the glitter of homecoming is a little more of a distraction than a helper, but that's TX high school football. Homecoming is a rich tradition in my opinion, and important part of celebrating your school's past and presence. That being said, WH-Huntington tonight at West Hardin's homecoming. Go Oilers!!

Silsbee played our homecoming against WO-S last year this year it is against H-J I think.

    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
    • It’s actually sad that he’s so in your head that you continually create these stupid analogies.
    • I get called way worse all of the time… and it doesn’t matter to me.    But it’s like this…. Let’s say you have a favorite football team-maybe the Cowboys. As a diehard fan, you whole-heartedly believe that the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL every year… would it make it sense to cash in your IRAs and borrow every dime you could borrow against your home and bet it all on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl this year? That would be letting your devotion and affection for your team make a really bad choice that will have negative consequences of your plan doesn’t work out.    That’s kinda like sticking with Trump when he keeps losing and shows no sign of winning this year.  But at least you can proudly boast that you were DC4L.
