Have been to all but one of the home football games.  I made it to a basketball game last year and a handful of baseball games as well.  It's a good thing to take the oldest boy - who is 5 - to.  Plus we both enjoy the drive over from Humble.

Season ticket holder to football games.  Been to every home game since it was restarted.  Either watched or listened to every road game.

Used to be season ticket holder for men's basketball...from 1993 until I couldn't take it anymore sometime during the Mike Deane era.

Used to camp out in college for men's basketball tickets to get the best student seats where we could torment the opposing team.

Attended LU beating Baylor and many other games.  Remember the SHSU "rose bowl" game..but I can't recall the details of how that all came about.

I even remember when we used to have a band that wore real band uniforms and not swamp people overalls.

In 1988 there had been huge fight between the two teams. Dubbed "The War of Roses," the story of how the fight broke out varies.

One account is that after Sam Houston beat Lamar the two coaches walked up to shake hands, someone dropped a bouquet of black roses between the two and, before anyone knew it, the two coaches squared off after a miscommunication about it.

The other story was that either someone from the student body of Lamar sent dead black roses to coach Bob Riley of Sam Houston or someone from Sam Houston sent the dead roses to coach Ray Alborn at Lamar.

After the game one of them shoved them in the other coaches face. Either way, the result was the same. After seeing that, the players squared off and a brawl broke out.

[size=12pt]I too have been on the Campus a few times, especially since footballs return. 

I think I have related this story before, but not sure here.  I have parked at the McDonald Gym lot and on my walk to the stadium I was admiring the change.  I commented to someone near that it had been nearly 40 yrs since being on the campus, at least that older part.  Someone else came up from behind heard me and said we have a beautiful campus and when we walking together I pointed out the Montagne Center he was astonished and was impressed with the Stadium too.  He lived in Houston, but went to South Alabama. Crossing over to the tailgating areas he was totally blown away, totally impressed with what was going on. He went on to will call and to meet up with friends.
If you have not been on campus in a while, you should.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
