  1. This Epstein thread really reminds me of the climate issue democrats are so passionate about. 1950's - Greenhouse effect 1980's - Global Warming 2000's - Climate Change The Epstein Files - Initially - This is the end of trump, we got him now. -After first release - They have redacted names to protect Trump - He's in there somewhere -After Latest release - He's covering for his friends.....

  2. Long time listener first time caller a couple things here on warm ups 1. You are allowed 21 match games and 3 tournaments (can also do 23 games and 2 tournaments and a few other combinations but no one does that), how many games you play in a tournament doesn't change anything. You can play 6 or you can play 3 and it still counts as a tournament. Jamborees or showcases or whatever you want to call them count as one of your 21 games. The UIL changed this to 21/2 or 19/3 about ten years ago and then changed it back after a year or two due to coaches not being happy at all with the change. Not even sure what the original reasoning was for the change to be honest. 2. The warm-up era was huge when the UIL switched from allowing 2 teams to 3 teams to make the playoffs in the late 90's I think it was. At that point in time (most of the 00's) if you won district you had a first round bye which meant not playing for a week and a half and that was felt to be too long by most coaches, so that is when you saw the warm-up game really take off. Once the UIL allowed 4 teams to make it now there is only a week between games and you started to see less and less warm up games. I also think the mandatory UIL one game suspension for an ejection has played into this as well. Now not only are you risking injury with only a week between games you are also risking the potential of having a first round suspension due to an ejection, so that plays a small role as well. In my opinion (just one coach others may feel totally different), the only real value in warm up games now are like what you see with Coach Sutherland at EC and as mentioned above is you lose so many games to the football team making the playoffs and you have an opportunity to make one up because you didn't even get close to your game limit. Also, if you are a massive powerhouse like Silsbee and you more or less ran through your district without any close games at all like they did several times in the last decade, you don't want to go into the playoffs without having played a close game in a month and a half, so going and playing high level competition in a warm-up game adds value. Also think that if the UIL flips to what they did with volleyball ( and rumor is it is probably going to happen) and the regular season ends on Friday and the first round of the playoffs starts on Thursday/Friday the following week, which would leave Monday/Tuesday as your warm up game options, in my opinion the warm-up game is completely dead at that point.

  3. We know why they made it that far with Crumedy just like we know why they missed the playoffs with Crumedy. I don't think Barbay ever missed while at Jasper. Not 100% sure about it though.

  6. Silsbee assistant coach Ira Brooks will be coaching his last home game tomorrow night. Coach Brooks will be retiring at the end of this season. Coach Brooks has been coaching at Silsbee for 32 years. He has been a mainstay and key component to the success of the Tiger Basketball program. His JV teams have always been successful and have won many district championships even when several freshmen and sophomores were playing varsity. Coach Brooks has earned the respect and love from many coaches in our area. He has been a fantastic coach but an even better man. He will be missed. Congrats to my friend Ira.

  8. Silsbee beat 6A top 10 Summer Creek 3-2 today in tournament play. The girls are very young and are off to a hot start. Freshmen starting at short, 3rd, and RF. 16 + home runs already and the defense is improving. Let’s keep it going.

  10. He definitely would’ve made a huge difference… as well as an another player that saw significant minutes off the bench last season and just decided not to play this year. They did get a couple guys to play that played last year halfway to the season. I think Joubert even having this team close to a playoff spot after what it lost from last year speaks volumes.

Pork Butt was $.99/lb. last week. I’m smoking it tomorrow, vacuum packing what we don’t eat for stuffed spuds, brisket enchiladas, & barbacoa tacos. We gat about 4 different meals for about $12.00 total for the main course. 😀

  22. Because he disagreed with the ruling and will find other avenues? Don't you think you're being a little dramatic? The Biden administration not protecting the Supreme Court Justices and using a heavy hand to prevent their assaults or murders when Roe vs Wade was overturned would be closer to a constitutional crisis than this......but I believe you were silent on that

  33. Need to remember: Good policy takes a while to show benefits. Bad policy shows up almost immediately. That’s why I’ve given time on the tariff situation. But, it’s to the point where businesses need more final clarity. Most of the clients I worked for had at least a 5 year plan for engineering projects. This is too much turmoil for them to make major investment decisions. It affects not only engineers, construction, equipment suppliers & other vendors, but also the support businesses like restaurants, safety equipment suppliers, even lodging, etc. Pretty sizable chunk of the economy. I’d expect a builder who also wants to expand our infrastructure, and wants to ‘drill baby drill’, would know this and enact policy accordingly. People sure aren’t going to invest in Venezuela when they don’t even know what’s going on here.

  36. Everywhere. Go to a car dealership. The grocery store. Any restaurant. You can’t rely on the government statistics anymore since posting numbers that don’t fit Trump’s narrative will get you fired. Here’s the thing. Year to year (1/25 to 1/26) is a modest 2.4%… not good, but not bad. UNFORTUNATELY, Pedodent Trump promised that he’d bring prices back down “on day one.” A better question is why have prices done everything except come back down, and more importantly, is it your opinion that he lied, or that he’s failed, in your opinion?

His point is the Guardians of Pedophiles (“GOP”) are flooding the zone with random distractions to take away from the Epstein cover up. and clearly it works on certain people 😉
