SCOTUS ruled that people have the right to carry handguns in self-defense and a state cannot set a restriction that the person has to prove a need. [Hidden Content] Reading the actual case was just released, it appears that states like New Jersey, New York and California will now have to an act of law that requires them to issue a license to people who wish to carry handguns in self-defense. They overturned a New York law that says they don’t have to issue a license unless you can prove a need. The ruling was that the Second Amendment does not require you to prove why you need self defense.

Since I now live just 10 minutes from there, maybe I should apply.

As Matthew328 stated, we were extremely young going into that first game against Ryan. Our entire secondary was sophomores, our starting running back was a sophomore. We had a junior QB that made mistake after mistake, that eventually led to him losing the starting position after the worst loss under our current head coach (McKinney North) where he had 5 turnovers. Our offensive line was extremely young as well, so things just..the last two years have been tough for sure. The talent we had in 2017-2019 has not been there the last 2 seasons (minus Jalen Hale), and facing Highland Park/Denton Ryan 5 times in that time span definitely was humbling after having won 28 of 29 games in 2018/2019. The group we have coming up is one we've been talking about ever since Haynes King stepped on the field for his senior season. You could tell they were going to be special even with as young as they were then. Our entire offensive line returns, Tatum Taylor is back at running back as a junior, our secondary is the best secondary I have ever seen a Longview group have, and almost all of them are just juniors. Jalen Hale starts his 4th season as a Lobo on the varsity squad, the first freshmen to play on a Lobo varsity team in over 30 years and he's showed why with the amount of D1 offers he has. The receivers around him are extremely talented on top of it. Our defensive front should be out of this world. QB remains a question mark. Allen comes in as a 3 year starter now (battled back and worth in 2020 before winning it, battling it back and forth in 2021 before losing it). We will go as far as he takes us, no doubt. He is by far our weakest position, but when you have as much talent around you as he does this year, we're hoping it'll mask some things. No doubt Denton Ryan is going to be impressive again. I'm more than happy we won't have to see them until Week 15 if we do have to face them. 3 losses in a row to a single team does not happen to Longview often. It's the first time in program history that we've ever lost to a team 3 times in just 13 games. But we would be more than battled test if we were to get to the Semis. Like I said earlier, we're 18-7 in the last 2 seasons which is just not Longview standards...but also 5 of the 7 losses have come to #1 Denton Ryan, or #2/#3 Highland Park so it is masked a bit considering 3 of those 5 losses were decided by one score. But we have not been elite by any stretch and I think a lot of us feel the group that is coming up (and the group behind them for that matter) is at that elite level. No doubt a Crosby match up is looming in November. It's going to end up being one of those match ups we will have talked about all season long I feel. Looking forward to it potentially happening. And looking forward to keeping up with a new group of schools. I know we almost faced BH back in the late 2000s. I can imagine their fans don't want to make the travel to Longview this season (or next for that matter). Getting that home field in round 1 is going to be extremely important with the travel. Hopefully the district is a little more competition (district 8 that is) than I'm expecting it to be. Looks like a Crosby/PA Memorial run away, with BH in 3rd and the rest...well the rest being as bad as they are. But we'll see what happens.

I was at the first Longview-Ryan game and a young Longview team got some hard lessons in Week 1...the second meeting was much more competitive obviously as a young Longview squad improved a ton during the year... Going into 2021; Ryan lost a lot (44 seniors) and their junior and sophomore classes are pretty average so a team that already lacked depth is really going to be pushed this year.... Longview is the exact opposite, the senior class that just graduated is pretty average for their standards & they are replacing those guys with a junior class thats loaded...its a group that we've been hearing about in these parts for a couple of years...add that group to a mix that already returned 14 starters and 40 lettermen and there you have it...

That very well could happen. I still gotta go WO-S until they show me different. Either way that's going to be a heck of a race.

From the article: "It's unbelievable that you would have a meeting at the White House with the companies that make the most important product in America right now and have the president not meet with them. You know, clearly what they've decided to do is demonize these guys. You've seen the rhetoric come out of the White House. How despicable it is. You know, we're in a democracy. If you've got like free companies out there providing product that consumers like, you know, then the White House shouldn't be threatening them with the sword of Damocles. And that's what Biden is doing." I have a pretty good feeling why he won't meet with them! [Hidden Content]

NRG has made it abundantly clear they will not host any HS football games.

Poor kid.😉 Must be awful. lol I would bet Archie could show up on campus with 20 bucks in his pocket and leave with that same 20 after 4 years. Who he is, NIL Deal, and the richest college athletic program in the country.

Ha! iPad wasn’t cooperating

Wouldn't surprise me if he leads them to it, comes from good pedigree.

Coach Crumedy gotta beat two top 10s for his first DC as HC.

I know Lobo has( more so than ever wanted), but have any of yall ever been to a Lufkin home game? Lol, their entire home side of field is reserved seating, so general admission flows into the visiting side seats. I haven't been there in a few seasons but they used to fill those said seats to the max.

FINAL Silsbee 33 Anna 13 Next up: Brownwood @ 4:45pm!

Silsbee defeated Smithville 29-19

Once again, the Aggies’ “we beat Texas” mentality keeps them from achieving the ultimate goal. Being eliminated by a Big XII team must sting a bit also. Signed, Case McCoy.

WOS lost to Pleasant Grove 13-6 nice try WOS pleasant grove have some big boys.

I’m just waiting to see who follows. There were a lot of highly ranked recruits waiting to see where he was going to commit. Will the dominoes start falling? Guess we will see.

Trump got hit by Covid, take 5 minutes to read the link, these are all policies imposed by Biden that directly influenced energy costs, and decisions only someone that was anti-fossil fuels would make, the are non-sensical policies AFTER we were energy independent. Fuel costs go up everything goes up, Biden did that singlehandedly, no help from Trump. [Hidden Content]

He was drawing these crowds before 2020. Trump has a following. Trump will nominate the gop candidate he won’t be it.

and how does that effect you? If they paid the same percent as you, how would that better your financial position?

Democrats love to have the Government control every aspect of their lives. It is their guiding factor. Their ruler. Their God. So here’s what their Gods are doing now. Oregon has decriminalized small amounts of any drugs - mj, Meth, heroin, etc, etc. The Federal God is fixing to ban Juual from selling their nicotine vapor. So part of Govt says heroin is okay and another is banning nicotine. So next? Legalize fentanyl and criminalize caffeine? I don’t use vapor, or any other kind of cigarettes, but I don’t understand what’s happening here. They do abuse “stupid”. [Hidden Content]

Reagan needs to get this gig.

Donald screwed Donald. If he had taken defeat like a man. Donald Trump will be ready to win back White House in HUGE landslide.

Supreme Court rulings generally start with a syllabus which gives a relatively brief description of the decision. The syllabus might be 1 to 3 pages. Then it goes on into as many as 15 pages describing how they came to the official conclusion. In addition to the official ruling, some justices may issue a concurring opinion meaning that they agree with a ruling but for different reasons. Then the justices on the losing side may issue a dissent describing why they disagree. The syllabus in this case concludes with this paragraph: The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not “a second-class right, subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.” McDonald, 561 U. S., at 780 (plurality opinion). The exercise of other constitutional rights does not require individuals to demonstrate to government officers some special need. The Second Amendment right to carry arms in public for self- defense is no different. New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment by preventing law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms in public. It clearly says that other constitutional rights do not require you to justify why you need them. Why should the second amendment?

Then PA wins. BH has that home cooking for them.

I feel dumber every time I get on here.

CE King has a new coach and will be transitioning to a more run-based offense per one of their QB's dad so they may not be as stiff as some of their projections. They did pick up a transfer DE from Yates that's already committed to Colorado to go along with Dylan Spencer who's already committed to Texas playing on the other side so their defense might be a little better. I do feel bad for Soulja though. I know he's invested but he and everybody else on this board knows they have absolutely no chance for anything more than moral victories on the football field this year. Maybe he can petition the UIL for them to start basketball season earlier like some yahoo did for soccer this year?

Sorry if you can't understand what success means, you idea of success is whether or not someone can sway snowflakes and moderates to pay attention and vote for the interest of the country. If folks would have re-elected Trump, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now. You can deny it all you want, but it simply shows your ignorance of current events.

Always deflecting. I thought you were middle of the road.

That happens when you have a great AD. Starts at the top.

Arkansas sports are all on the rise.

We root for Al-Qaeda against OU. Kind of like you guys do with us.

Maybe found out he’s 18 years old, which might help explain why he excels. 😂😂🤣👽🤣😂😂

Kamala reminds me of a quote by Stalin, “Everybody has the right to be stupid but some people abuse the privilege”. Such it is with her.

Saw a little bit of a Lindsey Graham/Bernie Sanders debate. Bernie Sanders reminds me of Christopher Lloyd in Back to the Future.
