Baylor offered them both. Babin's the first 2027 commit for Vandy

LSU had Peyton Houston commit to them 2 weeks ago. Most schools only take one high profile QB. Like half of the top 30 QBs for 2027 have already committed.

wildly inappropriate what HD did. It feels like there should be some accountability for the administrators who ignored this and then protected their own. maybe there has been, I don't know.

That speaks loudly. Awesome post.

I read all of it. Makes me stop and think, which was the purpose of the article. Thanks for sharing.

Yates vs Worthing

This was written by a high school friend, who graduated a year behind me, and posted on social media. As he states in the preamble, it’s lengthy but I found it worth the read. I also found it deeply relatable so I thought I would share it here for those trying to exist with the craziness going on all around us: “I know this is way too long for most of you to actually read, but for the few readers and thinkers in my orbit: I offer some (personal) thoughts on why political and cultural moderates like me are increasingly silent amidst all the violence and chaos that is rotting our great Republic. WHY I’VE STAYED SILENT ON ALL OF IT I used to imagine that someone in the political middle, someone aligned with neither of the extremes nor indifferent to public life, could speak up and help steady the discourse. I believed that moderation, reasonableness, and a willingness to hear the other side might have some purchase. But over time, watching how our public square has become not just loud but corrosively hostile, I’ve come to the conclusion that adding my voice now may well be pointless. I no longer speak if I cannot, or will not, be heard. The primary reason for my silence is simple: in this moment, the middle voice barely rises above the din. Every statement is swallowed by louder, more polarized voices peddling arrogant certainty, misplaced grievance, and unmitigated fury. When reasonable claims get drowned out by emotionally charged slogans, one is forced to ask: what is the gain in speaking at all? There is a bitter irony here: those who claim to defend “free speech” frequently turn on moderates who insist on nuance. The common tack taken by the most vocal on both sides is to invoke free-speech rhetoric only when it serves their side and may turn harshly on dissenters otherwise. The Harper’s Magazine editorial “Letter on Justice and Open Debate” (2020) warned that “[t]he intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty” now infects both sides. So, increasingly, moderate voices stay mute, partly out of self-defense: if your voice will only be used as a target, why volunteer it? There is a second, deeper reason that I remain silent. In extreme environments, reasoned argument loses traction. When people are primed by anger, fear, or identity-based tribalism, they respond not to evidence but to narrative, symbolism, and emotional resonance. If a moderate speaks in calm tones, they risk seeming weak or irrelevant. If they raise their voice, they risk being absorbed into the very hell they wished to escape. In that sense, the act of speaking may force us to adopt harsher tone, cruder frames, or safer alliances. But to do that, we sacrifice the very quality (temperance, nuance) that defines political moderation. And so I prefer silence to distortion, rejection, or complicity in the poison. There is a kind of tragic resonance here with Faulkner’s observation in The Sound and the Fury (via Quentin): “Because no battle is ever won … The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.” That line haunts me: it suggests that the spectacle of conflict lays bare our own weaknesses, not any grand moral certainty. Speaking in that field can feel like rehearsing a folly, repeating the despair. But my silence does not signify my apathy. Nor does it signify my complicity (though, admittedly, silence sometimes serves complicity). Rather, it is a recognition of my limits and the dangers I see in shallow participation. I still observe, read, and reflect. Sometimes I counsel others or intervene quietly. But I no longer assume that public utterance is the same as influence. As a moderate, I’ve come to feel that meaningful change, if it ever happens, will not come from the loud center but from the margins pushing morality, from trust reknit in communities, and from slow, patient civic repair. The public arena is too polluted, too weaponized, to welcome a voice of neither fury nor absolutism. Thomas Jefferson counseled, “Be a listener only, keep within yourself, and endeavor to establish with yourself the habit of silence, especially in politics.” He was not denying political engagement, but warning that the constant clamor of politics can drown out inner reason. I take that advice seriously now. So here I remain, publicly silent, though not disengaged. I judge that when the cost of speech is loss of integrity—or worse, being a caricature in someone else’s war—it is sometimes less damaging to the soul to stay quiet. I am not proud of this silencing. But it is what remains to someone in the middle who still wants to learn, to reflect, and to preserve some interior coherence. If ever the air clears, if reason again finds traction, I may speak. But until then, I wait.”

Not really. Silsbee did not play good.

omg......which was first, cigarettes or cancer?

I would put some good money on that. I like the odds lcm doesn't cover 21 lol

Started good against silsbee too.

Lookout, you might be labeled a little crying puppy dog with those kind of "realistic" comments.

Hunter Brown is the sixth pitcher in Astros history to throw at least 185 innings in a season and finish with an ERA lower than 2.45. Roger Clemens was the last person to do it in 2005 -

I guess the media’s TDS is so bad they forgot about this. [Hidden Content]

Houston Astros gave their all this season. But please clean house on the medical staff! Dr, trainers, and I would go as far as to say the S&C staff as well… The Astros had the worse injury bug in any professional sports team history.

Congrats young man! Big jump to the SEC!

1.) Atascocita 2.) Galveston Ball 3.) Lufkin 4.) PAM 5.) La Porte 6.) Angelton 7.) Dayton 8.) Nederland 9.) PNG 10.) Huntsville 11.) Livingston 12.) Huffman Hargrove 13.) Lumberton 14.) LCM 15.) Silsbee 16.) Kirbyville 17.) Orangefield 18.) Crockett 19.) Teague 20.) New Waverly 21.) Joaquin 22.) Sheblyville 23.) West Hardin 24.) West Sabine 25.) Chester

That's a very good question. I have pondered it myself. Lot's of things have to happen in order to have 30 IL's in a season. That's just crazy.

I knew it. It didn’t take you long to make excuses. Correct me if I am wrong, but weren’t the players they called up pros They had 1 reliable starter Brown and 1 reliable closer Hader and that was basically it on the mound Pena good season hitting, Meyers his best ever Alvarez good hitter but stays injured Altuve had an off year. Other than those no one stepped up at the plate especially with RISP Simply face the fact that they didn’t get it done this season. They did not play well enough These puppy dog tears of injuries and excuses are getting ridiculous

Trump wasn’t the first to say this, the makers of Tylenol were. You so bad want to make Trump a villain, when in fact, you make yourself look like a fool. Like hippie said, ppl get lung cancer without smoking, so every kid with Autism isn’t caused by Tylenol. Hope you comprehend doctor’s orders better than you comprehend posts on this website!

The injury deal is a bit perplexing. Is it just bad luck, or is it the players are not stretching enough, not keeping in good shape, bad trainers, bad doctors? They misdiagnosed Alverez.

Again how can Tylenol be the cause of Autism if it wasn't around when Autism was initially diagnosed? That doesn't make any sense. [Hidden Content]

I agree, pregnant people taking Tylenol in protest makes ZERO sense. Warning people that something MAY not be healthy to take during pregnancy, so don't unless absolutely necessary? That makes sense....
