How funny this poster is all about a free America and everyone is welcome.....yet throws out the "REAL AMERICANS" as a backhanded jab....... That is what identity politics will do for you

I went 10/16 yesterday, losing a Sweet 16 pick with Wisconsin.

I responded to this in the correct thread Lets stay on topic

Yea - after 3 administrations could not find anyone to charge, lets arrest and hang them all..... Bring back trees and ropes🙄

Surratt went to a school with good athletes already in place and got the most out of them. Won a couple of championships, got the backing of the community, got great facilities, and now many of the best players from all the surrounding communities find ways to play there. He's as elite as it gets, but now that the talent is funneling in and the community has the reputation as title town, another solid coach could step in there and keep winning. On the flipside, Surratt is not going to a place with no talent and no support and have them winning championships quickly without players moving in and better facilities. and he's not moving down to the valley and taking over a team and winning state championships in 7 or 70 years. He could dominate that area, but he's still going to lose with his teams when they face dallas and houston late in the playoffs.

Well i truly believe, the word elite can be used in several ways. Elite coaching can be a coach that takes average kids at an average program and has them buy in and over achieves with them. This will require the coach to adjust his coaching styles almost every year based on the talent that he has from yr to yr. I also believe elite can be defined as a coach that has a program that is winning several games each year in the playoffs and making deep runs, and can keep that program on top year in and year out. I believe it is easier to win at those programs because you do have kids coming into the program that typically wouldnt be there if the program wasnt as successful.

Trump is innocent because.... well cause he said he was.. didn't realize so many trust these ppl.. witnessed on here daily

Cen-Tex region??

Hope it’s a good done deal!

It's a DONE DEAL.

Like I’ve said before, nothing’s in a straight line. But if you think that athletes just started showing up at Carthage when Surratt did and Surratt was just lucky to have shown at that same time then, well, we’ll just have agree to disagree!

That’s why there’s not that many elite coaches at any one time. Or maybe historically speaking. It’s hard. That why only a few can qualify. Thanks for your opinion!

This may have been discussed before, but Kyle Westerberg won 4 state championships in 12 years at Allen and led them to another final. 3 of those were with Kyler Murray. After winning four state championships at the highest level and amassing a 134-16 record over 12 years at Allen, Westerberg moved (to an easier division, and an easier district). Hard to argue those numbers. He's clearly in the elite category. So what changed when he went to Barber's Hill? He still had good facilities, still had a supportive community, had players from good families with lots of opportunities, and I doubt he forgot how to coach. At Barbers hill he went 40-17 in 5 seasons and made the 3rd round of the playoffs once. The program still improved under him, but they didn't sniff a state championship. Then he went to Salado and went 5-15 in two years. Did he turn from elite to only good when he went from Allen to Barbers Hill, and then from good to bad when he went to Salado? The thing is, he didn't have the players to win a championship at Barbers Hill, and didn't have the players to even have a winning record at Salado. But you know who could've won a championship (or two or three) at Barbers Hill? The 2012-2014 Allen Eagles, led by Kyler Murray. It wouldn't even take the whole team. Probably only 5 kids from each side of the ball combined with whoever BH had at the time would be enough. And they wouldn't need Westerberg coaching them to get it done. Any competent coach would do.

There are over 1500 High school football teams, and only 12 champions a year. If a rule was made tomorrow that no coach and school can win more than one title it would take 125 years before every current Texas high school head football coach would win a championship. Of course that's not the case, and programs like Carthage are going to suck up extras. The ideas that A) a coach MUST win a state championship to be elite and B ) an elite coach should be able to do it in 7 years are both silly.

And by his handling, do you mean Trump being involved in human trafficking and raping underage girls, or him allowing too much information to be released about him being involved in human trafficking and raping underage girls? JK, jk…. I think that his handling gives the appearance of a coverup, when there’s obviously a lot of false allegations in there that hurt a lot of people. I can get why he’d want to move on, even if he’s done nothing wrong… but the country just wasn’t having it. Good answer.

I’m sure that I’ve talked about plenty of things that Trump has done that I consider to be good… just not so many this term, and I don’t like the things that he’s focusing on. Ballrooms, coins with his likeness, lawsuit after lawsuit, overthrowing governments left and right, etc. Conservatives on the Supreme Court was a good thing. I like tax cuts when we can afford them, but we can’t right now. I like the easing of regulations, typically, and I’m anxious to see if American automakers can make good on making new vehicles more dependable as a result of easing emissions requirements. He used to be funny, if you have that sense of humor. I loved when he strolled over into North Korea… that was epic. I don’t hate LSU, I can’t stand their fans. I feel the same way about people who are team Trump, all the way, no matter what he says or does. When I KNOW they’d be screaming at the top of their lungs if Biden had attacked Iran, but today they’re like “just give it a few more weeks.”

I thought I said his handling of the Epstein situation? I may have not stated it. But can’t think of anything else!

Only in high school football. BTW, first, Belichick has only been there 1 year. We need to give him a chance. Second, Holtz and Saban couldn’t make the move to different leagues. So…

That's interesting, especially when reading what Hillary Clinton has to say about it. "Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton argued Wednesday that Russian meddling in the 2016 election in large part cost her the White House..." That's a direct quote from the way left "news" outlet NPR in June 2017 explaining why the Democrat candidate claims she lost the bid for the presidency. It seems, contrary to your claim, that it was due to outsiders meddling in our election process. I wonder what you said about clean safe elections after Trump beat Hillary.

I bow to your superior knowledge of the economics of the oil & gas business. You put my decades of experience in the business to shame.

He should have asked you to post something positive. Of course the answer would have been smart aleck. Lol
