  1. To be fair, I hate on EVERYBODY. Silsbee just seems to come up in the rotation more often.
  2. Some kids just have a lot of quit in ‘em. Jk… in Silsbee’s case, I think that it’s a community/personality thing. Sometimes being really gifted athletically is a hinderance to the hard work and sacrifices it takes to win it all. We haven’t had anywhere near the success in baseball that Silsbee has had in basketball, but the communities are alike in that they have certain expectations for one program and completely lower expectations for their football programs. I’ve got the opinion that the Silsbee community doesn’t have the stomach for a coach that would demand the behaviors necessary to win an SC. You’re not getting better at football by playing AAU games or select ball… and when a lot of your best athletes focus on a sport other than football, the football gods will make you pay.
  3. [Hidden Content] Another Republican Rep has announced that he’ll be leaving his office by April 19th, cutting the R majority in the House to ONE. The same day Majorie Taylor Greene (remember her? She was the one in the Trump hat at the SOTU making a fool of herself) today introduced a resolution that will call for the new Speaker of the House to be removed, just months after the bruising fight to replace the ousted MCarthy. What did Johnson do? Well, he brought forth legislation that (GASP!!!!!) had bipartisan support. So he has to go, huh? And to make their plan work like last time, the handful hardcore righties will have to work with the Dems to make it happen, lol. The sane Rs won’t touch this nonsense with a ten foot pole. The American people will NOT put this dysfunctional group in charge again, guaranteed. The republicans don’t deserve to lead anything until they wrestle the control of the party back from the right wing nut jobs that are currently calling the shots for the Rs. They got the House and all they want to do is fight over who gets to be the Speaker. It’s just insane. On a similar note, today Ken Paxton announced that he is going to file charges against Hunter Biden for over-inflating the value of his paintings. I can’t believe how stupid the Rs are these days.
  4. And if my aunt had nuts they'd appoint her to a high-ranking position in our military.
  5. Fair enough.... I can only speak about the ones that I've watched, and they weren't state qualifiers.
  6. Are you just gonna gloss over the big hire that BC made this offseason?
  7. There must be some mistake.... I don't see Silsbee anywhere on this list.
  8. There are plenty of reasons that taunting, personal fouls, excessive celebrating, etc get penalized in organized games. Basic sportsmanship, the games "getting out of hand" leading to fights, and the list goes on. From what I've seen, 7-on-7 games tend to get far, far away from the spirit of the game-to see who can score more points. It turns into a trash-talking, posturing, exhibition of "Talent" that will hopefully lead to getting noticed by a scout and NIL money... not getting better at the game. Like I said, I'd rather sit in a gym all afternoon and watch "Big Baller Brand" wannabees act the same way.... at least I'd be indoors.
  9. Not a great analogy, for numerous reasons. The cabinet maker won't come back around and complain to me that he's gotten screwed because he only made $20,000 this year and everybody else in construction makes $100k plus.... when the difference is that everybody else is working year around and this cat only wants to work for 14 days a year. Secondly, the cabinet maker provides me with a service that I can approve or disapprove. He might have to do something over or even correct something before paid, but at the end I receive a tangible thing or service. A teacher does his/her "best" and if Johnny still can't read, it's Johnny's (and his parents) fault. Don't even start mentioning tying teacher pay to student performance... which is how it works in the real world, where a tangible thing is exchanged for pay. Teachers are just like "sorry, I did my part... if it didn't work, it's not my problem. Teachers chose a part time job because they are, by definition, lazy.
  10. If your job can be accomplished in 150 days per year, it's a part time job and should be paid accordingly. I said what I said.
  11. I know of a “business” that runs a split crew on 4/10s… one crew works mon-thur and the other works tue-Friday, then they switch schedules every week. It’s nice for the employees… you get a regularly scheduled four day weekend every other week. Except it also means that they have, at best, half a crew in the office every Monday and Friday, or 40% of the time. They don’t understand why people are unhappy with the fact that you can’t get a phone call returned, ever, because the days when they’re all there, they’re playing catch-up. Boss is getting replaced as we speak, btw. Word is that the new boss will be forced to return the crew to 5-8s if they want the gig. Some jobs (not jobs that require public interactions) DO work well with 4 day work weeks. A good rule of thumb is “if you have posted business hours, a four day week is a bad idea.”
  12. I was low-key expecting to see guys slapping each other in the face with white gloves.
  13. The Admins, Teachers, and Students are always for it... I mean, who wouldn't be? Except it causes huge problems for working parents, worse testing scores, etc... The only caveat to that is IF teachers are willing to take a 20% cut in their pay, I'd reconsider. Educators collectively overestimate their value to the rest of society. Always have, always will. You don't work for the super, and you don't work for yourself. You work for the public. That's me, you, and anybody else that lives or owns property inside of a school district. In what planet would an employee working a 187 day schedule while expecting 260 day pay decide that the number of days that they work should be dropped to 150 days per year? It's laughable.
