These folks should have to pay triple. How did they pass any entrance exams? The dumbing down of America in full swing.

Definitely the concrete barriers. [Hidden Content]

Just testing my memory banks. They fail me sometimes. I know they had problems with Harvey and Imelda. Let’s face it though, Harvey flooded people who had never been flooded before. He broke the flood plane maps. Not sure how blame can be laid.

I don't know who the other coach was, but this guy has no head coaching experience, and minimal high school experience. after graduating from college he spent a year each in defensive coaching positions on bad college teams before moving to high school. Not sure what he did from 2019-2022. Last year he spent was at cleveland, who was terrible. He may be great, and I don't care one way or another, but if Liberty passed up a coach with a history of success for a virtual unknown with no previous success at the high school or college level I'd be pretty frustrated if I was a panther fan.

How do you know that Harrison is not a big opportunity? I don't really know him, but maybe just maybe he is what Liberty needs. I was just wondering what you know about Harrison that doesn't make him a big opportunity.

The last 2 or so minutes are so true

Looking back at the exact wording, it seems like you are correct and it was the concrete barriers that were the ultimate problem. I mentioned it in my last comment, even if it was just the barriers, did Texas take his property? I think a case like US v. Causby might go a long way to proving his case. Causby had an egg farm and during World War II, the US government started flying four engine heavy bombers for the war effort, low over his farm at full power. The extremely loud noise killed a bunch of his chickens and caused many of the rest of them to quit laying eggs. Even though he legally still on the property, he sued, saying that the federal government had effectively “taken” the use of his property from him. The US Supreme Court sided with him, saying that for the purposes of the Fifth Amendment, the federal government had indeed taken away the use of his property. It wasn’t intentional but that didn’t matter. It seems like this case would fall somewhere along those lines.

That might have added to it but it said that they intentionally raised the roadway to help it act as a dam. Even if it was the dividers and no intent, did the state “take” his property without compensation? I think that it is interesting that a local landowner fought his case all the way to the US Supreme Court and won in a unanimous decision. So while he has not won his case yet, he won the right to have his day in court and possibly heard by a jury.

Barrier

and I thought it was the concrete dividers used for construction lanes that caused the water to be dammed. I guess I missed something.

Yeah I remember the pictures of the water piled up on the north side of the highway, it was bad.

That’s a president? How embarrassing.

Really good hire! As I stated previously on this thread, Mike T has been an essential part of WB’s success the last few years & is a student of the game & I have a ton of respect for how he goes about things as a coach. Big on teaching kids how to do things the right way to prepare them for not only basketball but the game of life. He’ll be fine there, my only question is what kind of talent does WB have returning? Best thing about this situation for Mike T is WB will be 5A for at least the next 2 years, so he should win a lot of games & have some deep playoff runs.

So which coaches kid gets the QB job? Trotter or Barrier

A Winnie land owner (and others) sued the State of Texas after they built IH-10 a few feet higher in order to help contain storm flooding. Sure enough a hurricane hit and flooded the land. The storm improvements worked!! Unfortunately the state sacrificed several people’s properties in using the interstate highway as a dam. Richard DeVillier tried to sue Texas under our laws and Constitution and the US Constitution under the Fifth Amendment “taking clause” (eminent domain). After a favorable ruling in the federal district court on the right to sue Texas directly, the Fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans overturned that ruling and said that the DeVlier had no authority to sue Texas directly. On Tuesday a unanimous US Supreme Court ruled that DeVillier and others had the right to sue Texas directly under Texas law and under the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution. The case is now sent back down to the lower court. DeVillier and others have not won their lawsuits as the case has not been decided on its merits at a trial. He still has to go to prove his case. What they did win was a unanimous Supreme Court agreeing that he has the right to bring Texas to trial for taking his property with just compensation.

Don't jump?! What?!

@Big girl @UT alum Amazing, isn't it?!

So I assume Dad got job back on Anahuac

I think Rangers will be ok in the long run. Not sure about the stros tho. Been a while since they were like this. Too bad we are in the same conference

Yes, this is true.

Hogs beat Tech 5-4 for mid-week series sweep. 25th straight home win!

I figured you would feel relieved since I’ve never ran Silsbee down. 🤷🏾‍♂️ And why would you feel embarrassed? I see a thug, I call a thug out. I figured we are in agreeance that we don’t like miscreants…

So Barrier left Rusk to come back to Anahuac??

From OISD Facebook Bobcats clinch District Championship The Orangefield Bobcats clinched the district championship Tuesday night with a 6-4 win over the Hardin Hornets.
