I'm struggling to understand the mental gymnastics it takes to blame this shutdown on anyone other than the left when the right has already passed a clean CR pushing no republican agenda to open the govt back.

I appreciate this explanation of the mental gymnastics, but I already knew what it looked like. Are you dizzy yet? The fact is Democrats are trying to hold the country hostage and force through policy that they can't pass through regular means because their party is such a dumpster fire they've managed to lose control of all branches of government over the last 4 years. They then have the gall to blame republicans for democrats not giving the votes needed to open the government back up, and a lot of their base is dumb enough to believe it. The problem for the left is that the moderate voters are NOT dumb enough to believe it. So while the lunatic fringe may rally around this foolishness and go join a protest and burn something down or whatever it is they do when they're mad, the left is hemorrhaging even more swing and moderate voters through this stunt. The left is like a kid who isn't good enough to win so they take their ball and go home so nobody can play and then blames everyone else for the game ending.

I agree about the opt up. It should only be for schools with major travel issues. (i.e. El Paso, etc.) Not for schools that are are only traveling 60 or less miles. BC, HJ and Liberty all opted up for competition reasons. Not travel. You'll never convince me otherwise. I can see BC opting up because they are actually very close to DI numbers anyway. HJ and Liberty are not even close. Also, I am not all that hip on all the other sports going to divisions but if that is how it's going to be, then have divisional districts like football and not decide the divisions after district play. That actually allows a larger school to get in D2 depending on who makes playoffs. If they do go with divisional districts this next realignment for all sports (I am hearing they won't) then schools that opt up for football should have to play all the rest of their sports in that football district. You shouldn't be able to pick and choose what sport you want to opt up in and not.

Meh, i'd still give the advantage to Shepherd.

May I add the ACA was passed with not one Republican vote, along with 34 Democrats joining Republicans in the NO vote.... ACA is 100% a Democratic problem. They are holding out to continue to fund this bill that was not as promised.

because you're the one regurgitating the mental gymnast talking points. I thought you might be dizzy from all that spin.

Zero chance HJ would have made the playoffs in D2.

Absolutely no idea. I don't follow all the rest much, until the seedings and playoffs arrive. All I know is region 3 is strong, and the local district teams have not won a first round playoff game in a few years. I think Hardin can at least get a playoff win. Physicality will matter. Whatever the case I am happy for Hardin.

Its never happened before but I think Hardin gets to the 3rd Round

If those schools don’t have to make multi-hour trips just for district games, then yes I would support that. I realize that I might place a higher value on reasonable travel compared to most in this forum. Long travel distances can become a significant burden for districts and the community.

The district picks are 100% voted on by the coaches in the district themselves. They take the average place for each team and then seed from there. So the majority of your opposing coaches in your district agree with you all winning district and for good reason. @Cu Chulainn

Jeffries voted against the clean CR. He also backs communist Mamdani. You should be careful who you follow…

The only question he asked was “Are you dizzy yet?” The rest was a very informed post to counter the Jeffries garbage.

How am I the one dizzy when you’re the one with all the questions?

I get what you are saying. Good point

I created a Trump hate thread just for you. All your comments should go there. Your trolling of every thread is childish. When you can’t make a valid point, you laugh…….very childish indeed. Why not write your senator and tell him/her to vote for the clean CR? It would keep the SNAP funds from being cut off.

But those Titan fans still are burning it up over PN-G being ranked ahead of them. 😁

This is Lake Creek for the 4 seed unless, in that scenario, maybe West Fork beats Lake Creek by 21. That’s not happening. I can’t see any scenario for Dayton other than win the last 2 games and hope Lake Creek loses to West Fork.

They all lead back to the Orange man. You make valid points. 😂

Spotlights on conald due to him campaigning on this! I wanna see D's and R's held accountable I couldn't even imagine defendiing pedophiles

Forgot about Huntsville. My bad. Yes this would be for 4th. 21 point cap is a total points cap differential in a singular game. Some districts have 15, 18 and 21. It's in place so that teams cannot "run up" the score to improve their playoff chances.

Best of luck to LaPorte

Read on DCTF [Hidden Content] Current 5A DI possibly moving to 6A: Baytown Sterling, LaPorte, Angleton, Austin Anderson, College Station Current 5A DII possibly moving to 5A DI: Richmond Randle, Iowa Colony That would change the landscape of 5A DI Region III, IF that happens.

I don't think Angleton will stop throwing to him, even with Duron out. They may not pass as much. Angleton uses a lot of end arounds and Jammer has carried 11 times for 94 yds. I suspect they may use more this game. Jammer is 1 for 1 passing for 12 yds. Jammer is also a threat on kickoff return, both he and Ace Simple. Angleton's OC is excellent at coming up with concepts. He has been with the team since 2011 except for three years. He left in 2015 irc to take a head coaching job at Boling where his team went deep into the playoff both years with playing in the state championship game the second year. He must have decided after that. that head coaching wasn't for him and for one year took an OC position at George Ranch. The next year when Brittain became head coach and Berneathy left for Dobie that there's "No place like Angleton" and reclaimed his old OC job.

100% agree with that. If you opt up in football then you opt up in every sport. It should be that you get to pick and choose who you play.

Duron was hurt in Angleton's 1st drive of the second half when it was 35-0. Jackson was hurt early in the 2nd quarter when it was 21-0. Duron was also the team's punter. Late in the second half Angleton sent in WR Cade Estrada to punt and although pressured got off a good punt.

They cry about SNAP benefits being cutoff but don’t say the democrats need to open the government. Until they realize who is to blame, they will do nothing but cry.

Apparently, they don’t read the news, shocker.

No American tax dollars are being spent on the ballroom. It is being privately funded. Try and keep up.

Weird how that happened and timing, I say no coincidence... government is so crooked its sad, both sides are guilty.. taxes dollars wasted on so much stuff its ridiculous..

If it's strictly about budget and travel purposes, then just make the districts whatever 5-8 schools are closest to each other. Regardless of enrollment. See? That's ridiculous. Having schools in your UIL competition district that are closest to your enrollment size, even if you have to travel a little further, is not ridiculous. It's equitable. There are always exceptions, but if it's true that schools are potentially better/worse depending on their pool of students to draw from... then there needs to be split divisions. For every UIL extracurricular event. You can't pick and choose when it's fair.. or for what sport it's fair for. Or even when to ignore the fairness in the name of saving money. Playing against the same size schools is either fair or it isn't. If that's fair, then it needs to be that way for every sport.

Two different teams now. Especially PNG's team. Last year's game the #1 RB (Chatagnier) went down early with injury, and Tyson Henry was running with a bad ankle. Different core of receivers last year, different defense, or defensive effort, perhaps. This could end up being a close game, I don't know, but I don't see it having to do with last season's game.

How is that possible when Trump is holding the bag? Baddog doesn’t realize that the elderly also receive meals on wheels and snap. The meals on wheels program has been effected as well. Trump can distance himself all he wants. The no Kings rally put him on notice. At age 79 quickly approaching 80 his mental state is declining. Mention anything Biden on 2020 and he goes off the rails. He flirts about running a third term but doesn’t want to face Obama. More information will be released soon. ⏳

Why didn’t anyone tell me that Texas State was gonna turn the ball over 4 times and play zero defense?

You’re not wrong. My point is the only thing Ned’s defense has been good at is being aggressive attacking the runner and getting to the backfield. That lines up well with what Huntsville is trying to do. PNG, Montgomery, and Lake creek were very successful being aggressive against the run, and Huntsville doesn’t really have a plan B. They’re not good passing. So, Nederland needs to sell out completely against the run. Force them to win through the air. Yeah, Ned’s secondary and linebackers aren’t good, so just have the linebackers attack gaps and tell the secondary to do their best. That’s basically your best shot and it plays to the only thing Ned’s good at on defense.

Computer doesnt factor in injuries.... Wonder if Angleton throws out Jammer in some wildcat QB packages just to ensure he has the ball in his hands

DCTF has Angleton as a 6 point favorite. Stepp has LP by 5. He mentions the loss of the Angleton QB.

Have not seen his numbers other than passing. 9-15, 87 yards, 2 TD's.

My good poster Darth Texas If you have watched the Bulldogs then you know that they are absolutely horrible on defense. I am talking the entire defense especially LB’ers and Secondary. DL is better, however not by much. They are giving up 38 points per game in district. I look for Huntsville to score 35 are more and Montgomery 50 plus

My card for week 10: Texas State +7.5 vs James Madison UTSA +4.5 vs Tulane Vandy +2.5 at Texas New Mexico +4.5 at UNLV Maryland +21.5 vs Indiana Georgia/Florida Over 50.5 Georgia -7 Mississippi State/Arkansas Over 67.5 Kentucky/Auburn Under 45.5 Florida State -9.5 vs Wake Forest Oklahoma +3.5 at Tennessee USC -6.5 at Nebraska

Saw a guy who took job applications to SNAP protest.

This might be an unpopular opinion but the idea of d1 and d2 during the regular is ridiculous for travel and budget purposes. 2-3 hour drives to play some district games is insane.

Oops. No doubt Coldspring can ruffle some feathers this Friday, but I like for Hardin to put this one away by halftime.

One thing people are seeing during the schumer shutdown is how many people rely on the government for food. 3.5 million Texans alone will lose food stamps. In a state of 31 million. 11% of Texans rely on federal money to eat. That is not help and assistance, that is lack of drive and will power for one's self and family. Living off the government has become a career for many (not all but many). As with everything the government touches it cannot properly oversee and run things. And they want to oversee our healthcare.

There is a cap on the points. It's 18 for 10-4A DI. So a team could beat a team by 40, but it would only count as +18 for the tiebreaker. So how would you determine a three way tie if it's not by points?

This game will not be a blowout at all and I like both teams but Montgomery will be at home... Give me the Bears 34-31.

Port Arthur. I like our chances advancing this year
