BREAKING: Suspect arrested for murder of woman found in Beaumont motel room

Friday: drive to Austin with wife and daughter, dinner at Pinthouse Pizza. Saturday: Mississippi State vs Texas at DKR, dinner will be all the free we can get our hands on in the Terrace Club.

If Shelbyville and SA win, I'm going to need some recommendations for pre game meal in SA next week. Same for Colmesneil and West Sabine. May end up in Pineland so would need a place there or along the way.

Should not even be close for a red state. IJS Cornyn may have been a better choice.

I'm real curious what that post game speech sounded like the other day, and what the end of practices are looking like this week after the shenanigans on here.

turds float, too, so I guess that's why i'm keeping pace only one behind you and rising up to the top my own self.

Texas City is extremely one dimensional. TC will run it outside and the RB is really good. I think Ned gives up a couple of long runs but wins easily.

Gotcha....didnt know he wrote a book... I do know when we wrote a feature before the state game on Hickman and taking WOS back to the title game we reached out to Coach Thompson and he only gave us a "no comment" Which kinda told me all I needed to know

Cornel Thompson’s book is titled “WOS Football, A Way of Life,” a 424‑page history of the West Orange‑Stark Mustangs football program. It was written by Cornel Thompson, the longtime West Orange‑Stark (WOS) coach who spent over 45 years with the program Thompson’s book is a detailed historical record of the winningest high school football program in Texas, covering: Players, coaches, games, and records across 45 years Behind‑the‑scenes stories, halftime adjustments, and coaching decisions Early program history, including the 1977 consolidation of Stark High and West Orange High Profiles of predecessors Steve McCarty and Dan Hooks in early chapters Season‑by‑season accounts, including state championships and playoff runs All‑state players and statistical records at the end of the book Thompson describes the work as a “family affair,” noting generations of players he coached over decades Thompson said he wanted to preserve the legacy of WOS football because “nobody in the state of Texas has done what we’ve done for forty‑five years” He emphasized that the book was not written for profit, but to document the program’s unmatched consistency and culture The book is self‑published and sold directly through Thompson: Paperback price: $35 Copies are available by contacting Coach Thompson directly

It’s like playing Russian roulette

Bye Week is always a mystery team. You just never know what they're going to bring to game each week.

I think we're just looking at what actually benefits the game from two different perspectives. You mentioned that an extra 6–8 possessions could change the outcome of a close game. Absolutely they could, but isn't that part of the point? Those are additional opportunities for BOTH teams to execute offensively and defensively. Why should a team that's trailing be denied opportunities to compete simply because the team that's ahead can hold the ball? And I disagree with the idea that controlling tempo somehow disappears with a shot clock. You can absolutely still control tempo with 35 seconds. You can run your sets, work for high-percentage shots, and play deliberate basketball. What you can't do is hold the ball for two minutes without ever attempting to score. There's a difference between controlling tempo and avoiding playing offense altogether. I also think we're overlooking one of the biggest benefits of a shot clock: rewarding good defense. A shot clock gives the defense an opportunity to earn possession without having to gamble for steals or commit fouls. As far as smaller programs and inexperienced players go, I understand the concern, but at what point do we stop treating fundamental basketball skills as disadvantages that the rules need to accommodate? Every team has strengths and weaknesses. Some teams struggle against pressure, some struggle with size, and others struggle with depth. We don't change the rules to eliminate those disadvantages. We coach our players to overcome them. The one point we agree with, again, is the financial burden and officiating concerns, especially for smaller schools. Those are legitimate issues that deserve solutions, but I don't think logistical challenges and competitive disadvantages are the same argument. Ultimately, I think a shot clock makes basketball more balanced between offense and defense. It doesn't force teams to play fast. It simply requires them to actually attempt to score within a reasonable amount of time.

Weather should never be the excuse seeing as both teams had to deal with it.

I was playing music in Louisiana and afterward went to a musicians house for food and drinks. The mix was 50/50 Republican/Democrat. The funniest thing that came up was how brutal Texas political ads are versus Louisiana, especially the Paxton/Talarico ads…..We all had a great time and managed to share our political beliefs without throwing insults at each other. I was not called homophobic one time for believing boys should not play in girls sports. My point is hiding behind a keyboard and insulting folks that don’t agree with you is not real life. I also found out Talarico is not real popular even among Democrats in Lousiana.

I did purchase a gold coin. It was a donation to his campaign. $99 bucks and he won in 2024 - money well spent. These races are tightening up.
