I remember back in the Jim Gilligan days, the Rice Owls always were in the top 3. They would play Lamar and Lamar would beat them, and it was a regular occurrence. Hopefully my Longhorns can prevail. Didn’t see the game listed on SECN.

Big Sandy - 14 Colmesneil - 0

[Hidden Content] Coming soon, just a matter of time.

Lamar at Texas today at 5pm. Game should be streaming on SECN+ on the ESPN app

Here’s what’s taking over the country. Sad….

A lot of people in Orangefield support the athletic bond too, so it should be interesting to see how it plays out. Part of it is parking lots, which we need pretty badly. Much of the discussion has been about missed practice time compared to other schools especially in baseball.

I’ll give you partial credit for trying. Also, because Trump IS spending like a drunken sailor as I’ve mentioned before, and Congress won’t cut. [Hidden Content] Back to Epstein.

So you do hate your kinfolk. I notice you dodged my Cali/NYC comment. Thats par for the course. To blame the generation that saved the world from Nazi Germany (he came very close) for their shortcomings is ludicrous. Indoctrination began in the 70s and it has taken hold, probably produced you. I’m sure you won’t miss me when I’m gone, but my values will sorely be missed because you were taught no respect for values. Crying about things not going exactly your way, blaming everyone else in the process while offering no real solutions, is the liberal way, since you respect no one else.

Republicans having to step in and fix a mess democrats are incapable of solving. What else is new?

I applaud him for doing that but considering we have 2.8 million federal employees it isn’t enough especially when you spend like a drunken sailor. The Epstein Administration needs to cut more.

UIL rules have changed that doesn't allow some teams to play warm up games these days. Teams now have game limits and once they have reached those limits, you are not allowed to play any extra unless it's for district seeding or play in games. Most teams these days play tournaments that are pool play which allows teams to play more tourney games. That adds up over the season. Also several play in multiple holiday jamborees which adds to their totals. Really the only teams that can play warm up games these days are teams that have to wait till football is over to start their basketball season. Sometimes that's two to three weeks after everyone else has started. Usually that is only in the 3A and down classifications. We still have some teams that will play warm up games this year. I have already received info on some of the games. I will be posting a Seed/Play In/Warm Up Game Info thread on Wednesday morning.

Y’all literally did this to us. Canceled pensions, ran up debts, etc… Baby Boomers were self entitled jerks who took full advantage of the American Dream and made sure that no one else coming behind them will have a shot at the same thing. And there’s never been a more “Nero” president than the boomer that’s in office right now… tearing down the East Wing of the White House to build a gilded ballroom during the last shutdown. The fact that you would bring up Nero and not recognize the resemblance of DJT to Nero is just more proof of the disconnect between boomers and everybody else.

Judges interpret the laws passed by Congress. If the cuts were originated in the House of Reps as the constitution intended, there would be no need for the President to make cuts that could be turned over by judges because those cuts were in violation of the legislation passed by Congress. Say what you want about Texas, but we’re obligated to spend no more than we take in… a balanced budget is a part of our constitution. We don’t even try to pass a budget at the federal level anymore-hence the shutdown that we’re in again, pending another increase in the debt limit. And our conservative president wants to just do away with the debt limit so the government can just borrow us back into servitude to the rest of the planet.

I don’t know your age, but you either hate your parents or grandparents, or in the least, don’t respect them. The generation that made the world safe is mostly gone (WWII). They produced the boomers…..myself. Me and my generation will be gone soon enough and there will be absolutely no respect, morality, honesty, or justice. Hello, it’s already happening. Look at NYC and California. I never hear any libs complain about either of those…..why? With all its problems, this is the greatest civilization in the history of the world. Don’t be a Nero.

I honestly don’t think Bridge City would gain anything from playing East Chambers… Nothing against EC but they aren’t that great this year. Now Bridge City vs Orangefield would be better

If you want to see blanket cuts, get the activist judges out of the way.

Boomers. And I think we can all agree that it’s an idea that’s worth exploring, right?

When we talk about bloated spending at the federal level, it’s important to remember where that money goes. It’s salaries for government employees, grants to local governments, payments to contractors and suppliers who rely on government contracts for their existence. Heck, then those payments to employees and contractors create economic gains are then taxed. Cutting spending reduces tax revenues, too. It’s a vicious spiral. The debt is money that we borrowed to maintain a lifestyle that we can’t afford. Our very standard of living is a lie… we haven’t produced enough to pay for it. When we tighten our belts, it’s not just government that’s going to feel it… we all are going to feel it.

Liberals think about themselves, not their country. They want socialism, like Mamdani’s NYC. Hochul wants physician assisted suicide. I wonder what criteria they need to exterminate? Keep hating Trump libs, it’s coming.

I support this, regardless of who’s in office. I’m concerned that the cuts have often appeared to be politically based, as in punishing groups/agencies we don’t support, while ignoring bloat in agencies that we do support. I’d like to see a blanket, 10% reduction in spending in every department mandated, with the stipulation that IF cuts result in a loss of services to the American people (closing national parks during a shutdown, for instance), the head of that agency will be removed from his/her/their post.

So... turf the fields so the school uses less water? Maybe..

As of early 2026, the Trump administration has significantly reduced the federal workforce, with reports indicating a decline of approximately 220,000 to over 300,000 federal positions since the start of his second term There’s some of your cut spending, how many presidents have talked about shrinking the government, and look here but of course….no credit given

I wish they would channel that same energy toward addressing the Epstein predators who are truly out there.
