Someone big mad they got called out

Must have been living in a 3rd world country 🤷🏼‍♂️

Lots of insults in this thread from both sides... if we can't debate/converse without them, warnings will be issued. I saw them last night, but didn't have time to deal with it, and it looks like another moderator has been busy in the thread already. You don't have to call someone a name to be abusive or insulting (although there's been plenty of that as well). If you have any questions, please refer back to the following forum rules: 3) THIS BOARD IS RATED "G"! Watch the language! Remember that there are members of all ages reading these forums. If there is any doubt in your mind whether a word may be objectionable ... find another word. Obscenity and profanity are good ways to get you banned. 4) Keep it civil! You can make your point much more attractive to others by remaining calm and intelligent. You will be banned for flaming or attacking another member!! We will not tolerate abuse upon another member. 9) Keep to the subject. Post to the section that is most appropriate for the topic being presented.

What does that even mean? “We the people” are given the chance to fix it every two years and we abdicate our authority to corporate money-financed propaganda on both sides. If you’re talking some sort of armed populist uprising, you’ve gotten a hold of some bad acid or something.

Without a doubt both parties try to discredit each other. But never in the history of American politics has a politician indulged in the insane, delusional ranting and raving that he's been up to for the last couple of years. You can throw all of the frivolous lawsuits in as well. Never has a politician on either side tried to install hundreds of handpicked politicians throughout the country in every race imaginable, while working to discredit their opponents of the same party. And then when that didn't work out, cue more insane speeches, online posts, etc. You're right that I don't like the guy, but I've voted for him twice. That doesn't mean that his behavior isn't extremely alarming, especially since there's a good possibility that he'll be the republican nominee for president in 2024.

players > coaching. Way more often than not. players + coaching + level of competition = wins. Missing any of the 3 is likely detrimental. Let's stay on Lumberton. A couple years ago they won the district championship in basketball. Their coach was unanimous COY for the district. Not so much as a sniff the next year... or since. What happened? Same exact coach. Still Lumberton kids. Oooohh.. that's right. They had a 6'6 D1 signee on the team. Funny how kids make coaches successful. Disclaimer: I know Coach Mitchell personally and think he does a fantastic job. But... it takes players to have success. I'm positive you'll ignore the example I just gave and the endless others.. but it doesn't change anything.

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.

It's not JUST about wins and losses. I know it's the nature of the business but sometimes it shouldn't be. Sometimes it truly is an unfavorable district/classification, in which the season would be completely different if not the case. Sometimes strong senior classes graduate. Sometimes good athletes decide not to play for whatever reason. Sometimes rival teams get a transfer or more. Or... sometimes you just don't have the horses. The best trainer in the world won't win a horse race with a donkey. None of that is the fault of the coach, yet that's who gets the blame every time. I agree it's on their shoulders but all factors should be considered.

I'm sure it's closer to never. I'd bet that they don't even meet with any of these coaches that they so openly ridicule behind a computer screen.

Last time Vidor was in 5A (6A now) was 1995...they were in the same district as the Baytown Lee and Sterling, North Shore, Beaumont Central and West Brook, TJ, and PN-G

Trump knows exactly how the dims are stacking the deck against the American people with their liberal/woke/communist ideology. I applaud anyone who fights that tooth and nail. People have died fighting communism for all of us and we reward that (in their memory) by electing them into our government……. Shameful!

I've said this very thing before.

It’s unbelievable how miserable people are and unwilling to congratulate a man on job well done. Coach Mathews did a phenomenal job as AD/HC for Vidor but a few select individuals always want to talk about wins and loses… and before those people say it’s a sports and someone has to win and lose, you are right but sports is so much more than being about winning and losing. Sports are about teaching someone to be accountable, a team player, leadership, and so on. So before you chime in and focus solely on wins and loses…. Let’s see your win, loss record (and little league doesn’t count) or if y’all know so much about being a AD/HC let’s see those applications and credentials.

Went back and read the response, did I say no business was affected by covid? I'd be a fool to say there weren't any affected Keep working those 2 jobs Twitter dude, I'll keep building mine... if you'd stay off here and Twitter you may be more successful!

orangefield and Buna will be battleing for 1&2. anahuac will be a distant 3rd anahuac lost their coach and will not be as good as they were last year.

Been needing that for a while. Not sure about his contract situation. Did he get a fat new contract a couple of years ago? Elliott got his and look what happened to him. Dak following close behind!

You would have included PNG on your list before this year.

Your thinking is…. If Surratt came to Vidor, he’d have Vidor hoisting the state championship in 7 yrs? Same can be said for let’s say BC, OF, and a few other area schools…. Is that what you are saying? If that is was you’re saying…. Please let my buy a little of what you are smoking!

This is true. While OF and Anahuac have an Ace at the top of their staff, Buna does as well in Kale Knox. (Supergold MVP and District POTY last season.) Buna will also have Jr. Carson Burks returning from an elbow injury. He was a huge part of the playoff run in 2021 as a freshman, and did not pitch or play last season. Same goes for Denton Peveto who played but was unable to pitch last season. Sophomore Daniel Midkiff was the number 2 starter last season. He notched shutouts of Central Heights and Anderson-Shiro in the playoffs. I'd argue that collectively, Buna has more pitching than anyone in this district. Knox is more than capable of going toe to toe with Bodin or Edmonds.

Did you guys already forgot about “Lock her up” and “drain the swamp”? Selective memory strikes again Trump was supposed to be the chosen one he had 4 years and did NOTHING about the “deep state”, but take every opportunity to siphon money off into his and his families pockets. it’s ok though it’ll be different in 2024, just give him another chance 🤡

I guess I should be specific. When I say wins.. I mean deep win. Successful playoff runs. Etc. Of course it's possible to win a lot of games with bad players and good coaching... if the schedule is weak. Just like good players and good coaches can have mediocre/poor seasons if the schedule isn't conducive for success. And bad coaches can have a heck of a run with good enough players and a weak schedule. Each of those scenarios play out literally every year. Make no mistake, there are more bad coaches winning with good players than there is good coaches winning with bad players. Will someone please freaking address my Bill Belichick example?.. Jeez. His record WITHOUT Tom Brady is less than .500. WITH Tom Brady he has like 9 super bowl appearances in two decades.

Again… yes you can and will. 10 flat DQ’s out of the blocks, missteps on a hurdle, runs out of their lane, pulls up cause of an injury, etc..

12, 24, 36… doesn’t matter, right?!?! PNG should be at AT&T stadium every year

Comment of the year 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Nope they sure have not. Also, Vidor has not had multiple D1 players in the past 24 years, and yes you are 110% Jeff Mathews is a great man and a good HC! He got the most out the players he had to work with, but with you leading the ship, I’m POSITIVE you’ll bring many, many, many championships to Vidor.

I'm not exactly familiar to the circumstance to which you're referring. But.. my post that you replied to happens so often that I'm comfortable saying it's definitely the norm. Yes, I know there may be exceptions. There are always are.

Well, you were wrong. I have a damn thing to say, and I said it.

Really? Cry me a river. A business owner can refuse service to anyone for any reason excepting racial discrimination. Bakery refusing to bake cake for same sex couple ring any bells? You all are a bunch of crybabies. Moral outrage when your peeps are dissed, high fiving when peeps you don’t like are dissed for the same freakin’ reason. The principle is the same, but I keep forgetting that in here principles are as fluid as mercury.

Trump encouraged people to overthrow the government

96 thru 99 season

GO VOTE FOR ZI !

Nope… just on message boards, social media, or in the stands.

Good thing he was 68-56 last twelve years

Same type of athlete??? Did you see them line up against each other??? Not even close

Not a single player ran 4.5… now their dad may have brought them to the field and clocked them on the daddy watch… but no one on Vidor’s roster touched a legit 4.5

I consider Cypress to be NW Houston or Harris County proper. Central NW Houston is closer in. It would be acres homes, Inwood. NW Park, etc.

It’s getting built back day by day week by week. By the end of this year I should be back to normal and completely debt free. But thank you so much for your words of wisdom…they’re meaningless.

Hes just grasping at straws at this point. None of his replies make sense. Another TrumpTard in his natural element

… it’s clear YOU DONT Stick to your day job twitter man 🤘🏼🤘🏼

And the fool that was so concerned about Guam tipping over, is still in office. That says a lot about his constituents.

What do Dallas Cowboys fans do after they win the SuperBowl? Turn off their PlayStation. 🤣😂

I spent many years managing big box stores. When I left we could confront shoplifters in store and ask them how they would like to pay for the item in their pants/purse. If they ignored us and walked out, we could not physically restrain them.,,,, I was having a bad day one evening and a guy ran from the electronics department of Service Merchandise with a bag full of radios and small things. It may have been about $500.00 worth of stuff. I decided to give chase (to this day I have o idea what I would have done had he stopped LOL)....I chased him to the end of the parking lot and he ran across the street toward some woods. As soon as I turned around a guy in a big truck asked if he was a shoplifter. I told him yes and he said I'll be right back. About 20 minutes later he showed back up with the bag......He gave me his card, he was a Company A Texas Ranger. He claimed he never got out of his truck......

He was the best thing that has ever happen to Vidor football in my memory. Always positive. Stands were always full. Personally, I didn't know the guy, but I know he was well respected all around SE Texas. You don't have to go deep in the playoffs to have an affect on these young men. God speed Coach Matthews.

chase is not tracy. the games anahuac will win this season will because of what bennett left them. anahuac will be a 3-4 place team and will be 1 and done in the playoffs.

Lamar edges Texas A&M - Corpus Christi 68-66 at home. A&M - Corpus one of the better teams in the Southland..

I don’t think the Trumptards have yet realized that people didn’t voted for Biden, they voted against Trump. Literally the only reason Biden won. Democrats can run anyone, other than Hillary, against trump and win, even a pet rock Same reason why Trump won in 2016. People just really hated Hillary. Of course there is the hillbilly here and there that think Trump is a legitimate, successful businessman, which is why these people continue getting conned in donating their own money to a billionaire

Then Br. City has one more year.

Yes the teacher knows. Does that justify the penalty? How do groom an adult? Maybe I need to take notes Another stupid law as an example (which happened to a local police officer maybe 15 years ago. I think he was about 22 and had a 17 year old girlfriend. The ended up in an intimate relationship which is/was completely legal. At some point they took photos together in less than a fully clothed condition. He was then convicted of a felony. Why? Because at 17 she was an adult and could agree to any sexual act with consent but photographs are a felony until her 18th birthday. Make sense? And get this, both are adults and both could possess the exact same photo that they both agreed to take but only he is a felon. He is 18 or older so her possessing photos of him is no crime. There are some stupid laws on the books to make people feel good but don’t make sense.

It is a stupid law. At the very least the penalty should be radically reduced. I could go into much more examples if needed but as an example: An 18 year old guy graduated last year. He is still 18 and gets his first job on the maintenance crew at the high school. He mows grass, helps unload trucks with office supplies, etc. A 19 year old girl is a senior at the high school. They are attracted to each other and start having a relationship. By Texas law the 19 year old girl is a victim. The 18 year old boy? He has committed a 2nd degree felony. What are other examples of 2nd degree felonies? A guy gets drunk, causes an accident and kills a 10 year old child or a guy finds out that his wife is cheating on him so in a sudden rage of passion, he shoots and kills his wife. I could give others but two different homicides should get the point across. That is the equivalent the 18 year old guy is facing… 20 years in prison. Why? Because of his place of employment. Had the same guy found a new job across the street from the high school doing the exact same thing but 50 feet away, it is two consenting adults. A 17 year old girl in high school could have a relationship with a 50 year old man (or woman) who works at the store across the street from the school and it is completely legal. Again it is between two consenting adults. So an 18 year old having a sexual relationship with consent with a 19 year old is a felony but a 50 year old having a sexual relationship with consent with a 17 year old isn’t. Let’s refresh our memories of the class of felony. The 18 year old having a 19 year old girlfriend is the equivalent of a drunk driver killing a child. Someone please explain the rationale. If you want such a law to stop potential corruption like a teacher doctoring grades, absolutely. Write a law that says it convicted the teacher is terminated and loses his/her license to teach for lifetime. If they want to attach a criminal penalty to the teacher who has already lost a career, make it a misdemeanor like a B with 180 days maximum or an A with a year maximum. Why the 20 year maximum felony for a relationship with two consenting adults? And then… if the same 18 year old guy and the same 19 year old girl start the relationship the day after she graduates OR…. she is still in school but it is in a college where he works and she attends, it is no crime. There are laws if the student is 16. That would be sexual assault of a child. By all means, prosecute him/her. But an 18 year old student and a 19 year old teacher’s aide? Ridiculous.

HF should be as good or better than they were this year. Unlucky to be in this stacked district. I kind of expect a similar season to this past one, with a lot of close games between these four teams at the top. I tend to agree that HF finished fourth, but I think 2-4 could be interchangeable, depending on factors such as injuries, grades, and how well Jasper and WOS grow into their coaches systems during their second years.
