I agree with everything bolded. As for the sour grapes, sometimes they're warranted. My team will never lose to SOC in a state final game, so while I have an opinion on the matter, it doesn't affect me the same way it's affected PNG. If I lived there I'm sure I'd be a lot more passionate about the subject. I'm also sure there have been plenty of sour grapes in Silsbee over the last decade when their basketball teams deserving of being state champions have lost out to houston teams or Faith Family because of a broken system. And i personally don't blame anyone from Silsbee a bit if they're still upset. As for SOC, there's a difference between having done no wrong and not having been caught doing wrong. Is it possible that every D1 player that transfers in is doing so on their own with no encouragement or interference from the coaching staff? I suppose it is. But that seems unlikely, and I'm not sure how anyone could be confident saying that it's happening that way.

Types in tariffs. American people are on the hook for his deeds.

I think this subject can be viewed in many ways. But what I believe 89Falcon is trying to say is that these student athletes that are mentioned were all ruled eligible. The coaches that the player transferred from didn't check the box, the DEC the player is transferring to didn't rule ineligible (and that matters the most since it's comprised of schools that will be competing against said player(s) ), or these players sat out the necessary time before being allowed to play varsity sports. Like Matt stated, UIL will most times not step in on these type situations and will just about always rule the same as the DEC. Should policy change? I say it should. But until then as long as players are ruled eligible, the schools can carry on. Stating that schools recruit can be viewed as sour grapes. Not saying that's the case here but most of the complaining normally comes from the losing teams. In the case of SOC, all their players were ruled eligible so they have done no wrong.

When will the DCTX Football Friday App get updated?

Bingo

i have mixed feelings on the topic at hand, but having read through this thread it's definitely worth noting that you're being a bit obtuse on this one (intentionally, no doubt, as you're no dummy). While it is inarguable that schools gain and lose students every year, it's also inarguable that there are a few schools who consistently gain new students who "coincidentally" happen to be D1 football recruits. It's obvious what happens at several of these schools, but in some it's provable through common sense. Let's take SOC, for example, which is a C-rated campus, and is located in South Oak Cliff, an F-tier community to live in. it's kind of hard to find a really valid reason why the recruits (i mean transfers) have moved from A or B rated school districts, generally MUCH safer neighborhoods, and areas with more job opportunities and housing other than football. As for your **, generally transfers who are transferring for non-football reasons aren't transferring to schools that have great football programs, and also aren't transferring to schools getting large numbers of obvious football related transfers. If shepherd gets a stray running back move-in here or there, or some kid from beaumont moves out to HF, etc, it's one thing. But something tells me if half of the D-1 recruits from around SETX started moving into HF every season and were allowed to play lots of folks would have lots to say about it, including the coaching staff of Shepherd (regardless of what their PAPFs say).

Had a pretty good trip up there a couple of weeks ago. My buddy has a place near Fairmount. We get into some pretty good numbers of bass near Shawnee Shores.

If you Google does Trump owe any back taxes, the answer is NO. Trump does not use Turbo Tax..... He hires a CPA company to do his taxes. He can be responsible for any mistakes, taxes owed and interest, but not criminally liable. So the fault would lie on the company. So, bottom line is he could "potentially" owe a 100 billion or zero......

Schedules are done.

A tale as old as time

3 more weeks 😁

Gotta love the traditional "yell at clouds" season before football season starts.

Its impossible to lose new students. And nobody talks about them because we want fair competition. Recruit 22 move ins and go 0-10... might make headlines

Have not seen an answer yet. Just that a few kids transferred. There is not a school in Texas that did not gain new students or lose new students. **worthy of note that no one is mentioning the schools that do not win big and anything about their “transfers”.

You finally realized what MAGA was all about. 🙌

The poster already laid out numerous ones and you chose to ignore that post.

Your stance on the subject shows just how much you choose to not acknowledge kids are moving into SOC every single year strictly for football and they are being recruited there by SOC coaches. You are making a fool of yourself. But please, carry on.

And nobody talks about it like it never even happened.

Are you disputing that our debt is about to be 40 trillion which is 124% of our GDP, the highest in history?

What evidence of recruiting is out there that the UIL has? If someone has it I'm sure they'd be happy to take it and make an example of someone. If the kids that go there have clean PAPFs the UIL's not going to intervene unless there's evidence of recruiting...the only time I can recall a kid transferring to SOC and there actually being a hearing was the kid from Corsicana who signed with A&M and he was cleared....

How do you know? How many people moved to or from SOC in the past year? And what were each of their reasons? (been waiting on someone with direct knowledge like yourself). Why did the DEC not reject the SOC transfers? Since it would directly hurt their schools? Did PNG submit any PAPFs this year?

I haven’t done any research, but it never made sense to me that the water needed couldn’t be made sustainable.
