  2. Final 9-3 Lamar. Lamar leads series 1-0. That's 5 post season wins. 5 more than someone expected.

  3. 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.

  4. I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

    Iran War Update

    You are correct if it's any deal that leaves the current regime in place. The amount of time until it comes back to bite us will be the only question. Sorry. I don't have TDS. I have experience with these folks. Hopefully, my posts have shown that I am somewhat competent on these type issues. I'm not even a 'Debbie Downer.' Again, it's just experience. And I could care less what the 'Trump don't play' crowd has to say. They've been wrong on this conflict from day one.

  17. I've never found the concept of MAGA that difficult to understand. I guess everyone could have an opinion of when America was great, or maybe some people think that America was never great..... I remember a time when folks went to school with shotguns in the back glass of a pick up.....and no one one got shot and no one stole the gun.....and that was in Port Arthur in 1981........ We fought in school and after school and no one was stabbed or shot.......most kids had 2 parents...... I honestly wouldn't mind going back to that time.......

  19. Jim Hicks and RCS Sports reported today that Coach Wise is expected to step aside as boys head coach. It is also expected that assistant coach Eddie Barlow will be the next HC at Yates HS pending approval. Coach Wise is currently the 2nd winningest coach in the Houston Area with 1009 career wins.

  20. Sure they could have higher expectations… nothing wrong with that considering the tradition of the program… but that wasn’t the case with a lot of the fans they were out for blood and were terrible towards Coach Hickman… A lot of it was uncalled for.

    Iran War Update

    I don’t think anyone on here has been anything less than understanding and appreciative. Trump’s comments and phrasing in the video posted were somewhat flippant. Deaths are not to be used in a political argument in the manner he did. Trump should have thought about all these things before he started. War is always a failure of men to find a better way. Even though—sometimes—it can’t be avoided. If it can’t be avoided, it must be engaged in quickly and decisively. It can’t be prolonged. The only result of delay is more damage to all.

    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......

    They have to (and certainly will) find a point of appeal where Anthony didn’t receive a fair trial because __________(fill in the blank). The Black women who were struck by the prosecution, faulty jury instructions, jury misconduct, evidence allowed that should have been excluded, etc.

    Unless there is a super majority in both houses, everyone is a lame duck. In Obama’s two terms, he lost majority control over Congress for the entire last 6 years of his presidency with a split Congress. For the last 2 years the Republicans held both houses. Were you concerned about the term lame duck for the last 6 years of the Obama administration? OMG… a lame duck!! 🤣🤣🤣

    What you fail to realize when those other players was a BU they had the Hancock brothers and there helping develop the kid and the current coaching staff don’t have time to help the kids cause all are up in age and they wanna go home and not stay and let the kids work Coleman was the only one willing to stay but he also stay in Houston so he wasn’t able to stay every and Wes was about to go prep but Hancock came back that’s the only reason Wes stayed

    Oak Hill will develop him into more of a stretch big man than United was willing to allow. He only played bully ball in the paint for the Timberwolves. Our coaches only know one way to play as evidenced in the state championship games.

    I sure hope it's not Jones. If it is, that would be three different high schools in 4 year career. (3 in three years to be exact) This transfer thing is getting way out of hand. Playing for 2 different high schools in 4 years can be tolerated. Three or more? That's egregious.

    You speak your mind from what appears to be experience, and I read everything you post. You also post to debate versus post to “win” or one up someone which I respect. I like reading your opinions because they are sometimes different than mine, which makes me think

  38. Just looked it up. They are actually #1 in that category of combined no-hitters. No other team has more than 2. What an odd stat. 4 in the last 8 years. They now have 18 total no-hitters which is tied for 3rd in all of baseball. Amazing when you consider how young the franchise is ('62). They surpassed the Reds tonight who have been in existence since 1882 ("modern version"). Tied with Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants as of tonight. The Mets, same season of inauguration as the Astros have 2 in team history. Edit here as I found one more stat...since 2022 the Astros have more no-hitters than all other teams COMBINED. Just an amazing statistical anomaly.

    Incidentally, I fall in the 55% of veterans who believe the war has to be seen through at this point in this latest Fox poll. But, it needs to be a full force effort. None of this half arse crap. Get it done with overwhelming force. Quickly. Justify it better to the American people. Even though I may not be happy about it.

    Trump Effect

    Told y’all when the Iran conflict started, you’d have to have a regime change. There’s no deal that’s worth the paper it’s written on to be made with those in charge in Iran right now. I warned about boots on the ground. I was told verbatim “Trump don’t play” when I said it would be longer than was stated, as these things evolve, and have a mind of their own. I stated the ceasefire was a bad idea. If going in, go all in. Don’t tie our military’s hands behind their backs. Politicians lose the U.S. conflicts—not the military. We’ve lost the momentum, and haven’t gained enough to offset. There’s a reason you get public support for a conflict. Trump didn’t, and here we are… If Trump was going to listen to someone, he should’ve listened to Keane instead of whatever political advisor is telling him about the polls. This ‘another 2-3 days’ crap is getting old. Either you know what, or get off the pot. The other Gulf States hearing he was going back in, and asking him to delay? What kind of crap is that? How do they supposedly know what’s being discussed in the secure situation room? It’s either another load of BS, or we have a serious problem. Sun Tzu: There is no country that has ever benefited from prolonged war. (All of our military leadership used to have to read Sun Tzu.) As Larry the Cable Guy says, “Get Er Done!”
