West: Cubs don’t want to change date of Lamar Consolidated ballgame again

Brenham High School football coach Glen West doesn’t know if the NCAA will allow the Longhorn Network to broadcast the Cubs’ game against Lamar Consolidated High School.

Actually, he doesn’t care whether the game is broadcast on the fledgling network at all. He just wants the game to be played on Sept. 1, as it is currently scheduled.

Brenham announced last week that it had moved its game against Lamar Consolidated from Sept. 3 ahead two days to accommodate the Longhorn Network, the joint venture between the University of Texas and ESPN. But in the interim, the network has come under fire as critics charge that airing high school football games would give the University of Texas a recruiting advantage and violate NCAA rules.

West said this morning that he does not know whether the Longhorn Network will follow through with its plans to air the game, but he has already signed a contract allowing the network to broadcast the contest. He said ESPN told him on Wednesday that it intended to officially announce the game this weekend at the Texas High School Coaches Association convention in Fort Worth.

But those plans may be in limbo as the network discusses its plans with both the NCAA and the Big 12 Conference. Regardless of whether the Longhorn Network is allowed to air high school sports, West wants to keep Brenham’s game against Lamar Consolidated scheduled for Sept. 1.

“Our whole thing since the get-go is that we don’t like playing Labor Day weekend on a Saturday,” West said. “We don’t think the crowd will be very good and it messes with the next week. There’s just not anybody in Brenham excited about playing a Saturday game Sept. 3.”

The game was originally scheduled for Saturday because Fort Bend ISD features multiple high schools sharing a stadium and as the home team, Fort Bend ISD selected which of its games would be played Friday and which would be played Saturday. The game was then moved to Thursday at the Longhorn Network’s request.

Brenham will begin practices on Aug. 1, and will be allowed to practice in pads beginning Aug. 5.

Graduated defensive back Rodney Hubert will be playing in the THSCA all-star football game Tuesday night, and on Monday night graduated Brenham High School basketball player Deonnte Breedlove will play in the THSCA all-star basketball game.

Lamar Consolidated is not in the Ft. Bend ISD, but rather the Lamar CISD which also includes Richmond Foster, Rosenberg Terry and George Ranch.

And while I understand and agree with Coach West's misgivings about playing a Saturday game, I've seen a few Brenham games and I have never seen them have a problem with crowd support, regardless of date, time or venue.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      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.
