Sadly, a lot of school districts choose to let the pervert resign so they don't have to report it and take the time to go to court. If you remember several years ago a Memorial coach was jailed for this and when it came out that there were allegations at other schools, the girl sued those schools. I don't remember the outcome of the lawsuits. My favorite professor at Lamar, Coach John Payton, always told us to never be alone with any of your students. I have lived by his advice now for 33 years.

I'll never understand the amount of time and energy people put into talking, debating, and arguing about politics, as if politicians truly have our best interests in mind. One day, people will realize that it doesn't matter whether you're Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, white, Black, brown, or anything else. At the end of the day, none of these politicians—from the local level all the way to the president—don't have the public's best interests at heart.

Not surprising..... There would of been absolutely nothing he could of done that you would approved of. That's OK though - no money from US is being given to them, and if they don't live up to agreement, we have option to go back to bombing......

10-4A DII has 4 top 25 teams. #2 WO-S #14 Silsbee #19 Hamshire-Fannett #25 Shepherd Hardin-Jefferson and Jasper. This will be a very tough district.

When their castoffs start enrolling at LCM.

My youngest grandson may change your mind. I mean he's 3, but he's a bad 3. Lmao.

Pretty sad and pathetic and probably demonic that people actually think that a male can be a female and vice versa. this is what happens when people fall away from the Word of God…. It trickles into our leaders and governing officials.

The Supreme Court just granted certiorari or review to two cases for the next term. These cases deal with the ban on AR-15 and other “assault” rifles. The Supreme Court has finally decided to step in and rule whether a government can prohibit semi automatic rifles under the Second Amendment. By the time they schedule oral arguments to hear the cases and then write an opinion, it will probably be near the end of the term at about this time next year. So the can is no longer going to be kicked down the road. We are about to soon find out if about half a dozen states are violating the Constitution by prohibiting the possession of certain semi automatic weapons. Did I mention that I think this is huge?

He'd be insane to comment publicly about that situation

I'm sorry sir, you are incorrect on this one. I do this for a living. I'll keep the explanation as short as possible, but as long as your replies as the former employer are fact-based and not purposefully inflammatory, you can relay certain info about a previous employee to a prospective employer. Especially if the prospect in question has signed a release. Chapter 103 of the Texas Labor Code protects from defamation liability an employer who releases information about a current or former employee to a prospective new employer, unless "the information disclosed was known by that employer to be false at the time the disclosure was made or that the disclosure was made with malice or in reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the information disclosed." Follow my guidelines, and it will serve you well: Release only factual information Supply Only What Is Requested Tell the Truth Avoid Inflammatory Terms Use a Written Release Form

I understand the district‑talent argument, but let’s be real — lack of talent isn’t the other team’s fault. Every coach has to build around what they’ve got. Some schools have hoopers, some don’t. That’s the nature of high school sports. But that’s exactly why a shot clock doesn’t hurt the game. It doesn’t force anyone to play fast. It just forces everyone to play basketball. You can still run deliberate offense. You can still control tempo. You can still grind out possessions. A 35–40 second clock gives you more than enough time to run multiple actions. What it removes is the ability to stall for two minutes without any intent to score. That’s not “strategy.” That’s hiding behind the clock because you don’t have the talent to compete straight up. And diversity doesn’t disappear. College has a shot clock and you still see: • Princeton offenses • Ball‑screen heavy systems • Motion teams • Post‑dominant teams • Pack‑line defenses All completely different identities. The clock doesn’t erase style — it erases stalling. Most teams who want a shot clock already shoot within 45 seconds anyway. They’re not asking for help on offense. They’re asking for a rule that keeps the game competitive and keeps kids developing real basketball skills. High school players deserve: • More possessions • Real end‑of‑game situations • Preparation for the next level A shot clock doesn’t make everyone play the same. It just prevents one team from turning the game into a freeze‑tag contest because they don’t have the talent to compete possession‑to‑possession.

For clarification: schools run a background check from the DPS database. If that comes back "clear", the school check references. Former employers are only technically allowed to provide 1. dates of employment 2. eligible for rehire yes/no 3. they may also provide safety info for DOT sensitive positions. Anything beyond the above listed information can expose the former employer to legal trouble. If they reveal unsubstantiated or unverified rumor type information that prevents a former employee from being hired, they can be subject to lawsuits.

On Thursday the Supreme Court handed down a big decision in the case of Mullin v. Al Otro Lado. It deals with the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 (INA) that allows people to seek asylum in the US. More specifically it deals with the definition of the word “in”. This kind of flashes back to the Bill Clinton deposition about Monica Lewinsky when he famously said when asked about sex with her, it depends on what the meaning of the word is, is. That’s right folks. We had a multi page Supreme Court decision on the definition of the word “IN”. Jumping ahead to give y’all time to think about it, it was a 6 to 3 vote on the definition of the word “in”. Guess which three did not agree with the definition? On with the show….. The INA said that a person may seek asylum when he “arrives in the United States”. That’s basically the case. Of course it goes on for pages to give other cases to explain the intent of the law, etc., however, the question is, can you apply for a political asylum in the United States when you were not the”in” United States? The answer was no, but here is the funny part. Justice Alito in authoring the decision to explain what being “in” the US actually means, wrote this: “The running back does not arrive in the end zone (and six points do not go up on the scoreboard) when he is tackled at the 1-yard line by the defense. The guest does not arrive in the house when the homeowner locks the door right before the guest tries to open it. The army does not arrive in the city when the city’s defenders repel the attack outside city limits. And the letter does not arrive in the mailbox when a dog assaults the carrier a step away from the mailbox. A person arrives in a destination only when he enters it, and that conclusion does not change because someone or something blocks entry. A person arrives in the United States, then, only when he enters it.” That’s about as simple and in plain English as you can get. Therr was no need for legalese to explain the situation. The dissent said that being outside of the US is the same as being in the US. 🤣🤣🤣 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁 After the drum roll, the question that everyone has been wondering about…… which three justices did not agree that being in the United States meant being in the United States? Clue: One doesn’t know what a woman is.

That should be the take away. Our intelligence knows more than they are telling us. Which other administration eliminated their Navy and Air Force? I think if Obama or Biden had done this, the media would be reporting we are in much better shape then they are now.

Right. Didn't have any other choice but to let him go. That would be the case any where.

9 more weeks from today it begins 🙌🏾

Except, that's a lie beyond belief. The entire Iran military is gone, with the exception of a few random drones they still have hidden and even those have all but disappeared. The entire Iran leadership is gone, except for one or two that has to stay in hiding and cant travel freely or even use a cell phone. The entire Iran nuke stockpile is essentially gone, reduced to dust by the bunker busters. The entire Iran nuke enrichment labs are gone, reduced to rubble. Iran's ability to control the straight is gone. Iran's ability to rebuild is gone. The potential for Iran to become a nuke power is completely gone. The world is in awe of the US military, and the world now knows the former US Muslim president and the US dementia president is gone.

There's really no point engaging with that poster. He's a troll, he has a stage 5 case of TDS, he's been banned multiple times and keeps coming back creating new user accounts/names, thumbs his nose at forum rules and the moderators, and the best he has to offer is some drive-by post to try and stir things up. Meh.

Real Video of Reagan being baptized by Trump.

That is easy to say, but I'm not sure more perception than reality. Trust me, my Dad built me a 65 Mustang from the ground up and gave to me for my 16th birthday in 1982, custom paint job and all.....so I know where you're going, but.... My work Truck is a 2011 Ford F150 Lariat 5.0 Coyote engine......When I parked her at work today, her milage was 309800. She has original engine and transmission. I don't recall 1960's or 1970's vehicles getting that kind of milage out of original engine. The only things that don't work are key fob....cause my ex-wife washed it...SMH - and the rearview camera (cause I don't wanna fix it) I don't drive her any further than I want to toe her home......but she makes he drive from Port Arthur to Vidor 5 days a week, plus around town on the weekends.

One game ain't going to kill us. Now, if you ever become a season ticket holder, then we have a problem. Might have to give them to me.

I paid I $3.19 today. In a couple weeks it should be well under $3.00

Update: gas is now $2.99 in west Chambers Co.

The 17 year old who filmed himself urinating on Austin Metcalf’s grave and posting it on the internet, has been arrested.

I hope Texas high school basketball never gets a shot clock in my lifetime.

Tony would be so pumped

That 2017 Silsbee team was crazy deep. A total of 11 players off that team went on to play the next level in either football or basketball. Not bad for a little ole small town 4A team.

Falcon needs to jump on over to the political forum. They'd fit right in.

If Jasper beats WOS…I wonder how long until a special board meeting is called…

The 14th was designed for slaves not for illegal immigrants. Based on what I am reading, this will be remedied by a constitutional amendment or new immigration laws.....Pregnancy test before being admitted?

Preparation for the next level? You mean the 10% of all of Texas high school basketball players that actually play next level? A shot clock is needed for those players? What about the 90% that will not play next level? What about teams across the state that don't have a single college prospect on their roster or haven't had any in many years? I know for a fact that those teams are in the vast majority but we need to implement a rule to benefit the "elite" teams? I totally understand the complaint about teams that simply hold the ball with no intention of running an offense. Teams that hold it to try and keep the score down and not get blown out. Particularly when that team is behind. (aka Lumberton/Silsbee game). I don't like that as well. It's not basketball. But I have watched plenty of basketball in my 62 years and I can honestly state that those instances are anomalies. You might find 6-10 games per season out of the 1000's of games played where a team holds the ball with no intent on running an offense. But we should implement a shot clock because of that? I am all for what makes the game better for EVERYONE. Not just for the select few.

I doubt the HC was even consulted about "cutting him". He wasn't going to have any say in this one.

I think it’s safe to say he won’t ever step foot on a campus again…

Did you mean coming back for the team or members on this website for our entertainment?

Yeah. In 1973 I was was making $1.70 an hour. By January 1974 it was around 46¢ a gallon and I was making $2.00.

I will.

For folks (subscribers) waiting on the DCTF mag it should be coming in starting next week. 🙌🏾 Mine comes in between Wednesday and Friday.

Great point - working in banking what I have noticed is people with no money who get money end up bank to their poor status quickly. I have 30 minute lectures with people who get 30K plus in one check from a settlement or inheritance. I try and explain this is more than likely a once in a lifetime event. Then I explain how long, if ever, it would take them to save that much money....The nod their head in agreement, we open their account or make their deposit, and usually in 60 days it is gone......

One of the things I’m not proud of is the wokeness of Austin. It’s a disease. Still a Longhorn fan. Hopefully this disease hasn’t infected any other campuses. For my Longhorn’s WS run, I believe we have a good shot at the title if we get past Georgia. That series with Miss St. had to have set some records for scoring and HRs.

They had enough talent to win a championship, no question. But you only get there when you develop every player, from the starters to the last man on the bench — mentally, skill‑wise, and with real structure. The days of rolling the ball out and hoping they figure it out are over. They also needed someone younger on staff who could keep the gym open, rebound for guys, and help them get that extra work in. That matters. And honestly, that’s probably part of why some players decided to leave. Still, I wish those kids nothing but success. Never let anyone tell you there’s only one way to reach your goals. Carve your own path and stand on it with confidence.

Thought I would put this back on top Jury selection starts today
