  1. Christmas break, spring break, and Thanksgiving break is hard on a lot of families. A lot of kids go to daycare or some type of summer program for the summer. To try and find somewhere for your young children to go nearly every Friday can be very difficult for a lot of people.
  2. His dad was the head coach at HF in 2014-2015. I think I have the year right.
  3. The Cowboys are my least favorite team, but this stat is a bit skewed now that they play 17 games. I would be interested to know, in the sixteen game schedule, was there ever a team that won 11 games in three straight seasons and not make the conference championship. In a 16 game schedule, they would have only won 12 games in 2022.
  4. Oh wow. I wonder how many people supporting PNG got on the LH side...
  5. If I'm the LH coach I wouldn't want to play at Legacy Stadium where they lost last year. I wouldn't want to play at NRG where PNG just won. Whatever reasons he has for that stadium are probably good ones that he feels benefit his team. I got our tickets for the family as soon as I saw the link. I'm just hoping PNG fans choose to buy a lot of seats on LH's side instead of deciding not to go. It would be pretty crazy to look at the home side and see people standing for Cherokee and doing the Tomahawk Chop.
  6. I think PNG was kicking it into the sunny parts of the field while the sun was out. Just my guess on the pooch.
  7. He muffed it in the field of play and the ball rolled into the end zone. I might be wrong, but I believe a touch back is void at that point so he had to return it.
  8. There was a loss of down. Normally, if you accept a penalty the team replays the down and loses the penalty yardage. If you decline the penalty it becomes second down, but the ball is placed at the most recent dead ball spot. With intentional grounding you lose that current down and the yardage. The loss of down was first down. Essentially it’s the same idea of being sacked. However, I did think it was a long time before they started running the clock.
  9. Cammie Palmer took the Evadale job.
  10. I was told Aaliyah Griggs is taking that position.
  11. I believe she went back home to Nimitz.
  12. I think it helps the upper class and lower class, but it won't help the middle class...at least from what I have read. I read that if you are under a certain income line you would receive some amount of money each month to help. I think it would keep people who are frugal, like me, from buying some items. Perhaps I'm wrong on that, just my thoughts. If you want a Fair Tax then how about you do this...everyone pays the same tax percentage. No matter how much you make everyone pays 10% or 12%.
  13. Good point. Unfortunately the two parties have also grown so far apart in the past 10-20 years there is nothing but hate for one another. A house divided cannot stand…if they can’t fix themselves in Washington we will collapse.
  14. Nope, and probably can't give you one the other way around. The point is if it was possible to do it this way we wouldn't see what we see. What percentage of people do you think actually invest time into deciding who they vote for? I'm going to guess...not a high percentage. I was the first person in my family to ever vote Republican because I started paying attention to what the candidates were talking about and what they stood for. This was way back in 2000. I know my grandparents and parents would not have agreed for the other party had they listened. They voted that way because they always had. How much of every campaign is attacking the other person? That's a waste of time as well. I also don't think politicians in the parties agree with all the policies in their party. They are just a member of that party because they agree with the majority of the policies.
  15. So what would voting look like if we removed names and parties from people? They spoke on their beliefs and their agenda's but we couldn't see their faces. Their history of what they have and haven't supported was shown next to their candidacy (we know a great majority of people aren't going to try and research this). I bet we would find different people in offices all over the country. Too many people vote on parties, or for a name, or against a name, etc. A lot of people vote for a certain party because that's what their parents voted for. I would be willing to be it people really took a neutral approach from the beginning...we would see different results in a lot of elections.
  16. They can make it an event, it doesn’t mean I have to like it more than a centralized location. Coaches and players probably love it. I just think there are a lot of fans that can’t make the trip that might make the trip if it was centralized. Also having games start at 11 and 3 on weekdays makes it a lot harder for fans to get there. Some people might not be able to get off work during the week that would be able to make it on a Friday or Saturday night.
  17. I don’t like all the state games being at one place. I know I’m probably in the minority in this situation and it’s great for the fans of high school football (not necessarily the fans of the two teams playing), but way too often the travel difference for the two teams it too big of a gap. I liked it when the two coaches decided. I think if each game was more central to the two teams playing more fans from those teams would be attending. I might be wrong, but that’s my belief.
  18. Haha...yes it was an article I read on FoxNews about the FBI agent. I do not normally watch the news or read anything online, but I'm really curious in this case.
  19. One statement I read from a FBI agent said, "people aren't necessarily going to scream when they are fighting for their lives. This isn't a tv show or movie." I found that interesting. I had never considered that if you are battling for your life screaming for help might not automatically happen. If someone was awaken from their sleep while being attacked, would you agree with this?
  20. I like it. Now just need to do something about that DH spot. I've heard rumors about Nimmo and Conforto. Market value for them on Spottrac is pretty high. I would prefer Nimmo out of the two if they are going to do that. I like the idea of bringing Yuli back for 5-7 million. Something about that man in the playoffs and he's a big part of the culture. Abreu and Yuli could be the 1B/DH option on most days. You could put Yordan as DH and play Myers in the OF on some other days. We shall see what they do, but I do think they sign Nimmo, Conforto, Brantley, or Yuli for a positional/DH spot.
  21. I was only in high school at the time, but I believe PNG was not supposed to beat La Marque in the 4th round in 1999. I don't know if La Marque was a heave favorite, but it felt like it was the way people talked about them. FBM seems to be a heavy favorite on paper and their defense seems to be pretty stingy, but there's a reason they play the game. Maybe a repeat from 1999 for the good ole Indians.
  22. Fantastic! As of right now the secret for our local teams tonight was the white helmets.
  23. Not al games are put on Maxpreps. If they went to three tournaments they should have played at least 30 matches.
  24. Hardin has been better than CH the past two years. They will be again this year. Yep
  25. And Flower Mound did it with distance runners. I don't know if I've ever seen a team win state in track with distance. They had a possibility to score 58 points in the three distance races...and they did that. 1,2,3 in the 3200m and 1600m plus 1st in the 800. They also won HJ but the 58 they scored in distance was enough to win.
