I’m hoping they actually have the right guy this time. I was leaning with some of you that it looked more and more like a professional job. Hopefully we know the truth. I am going to post one thing here though in general. Reading this thread is almost as depressing as social media, on both sides. At least no one is celebrating a man’s murder here that I’ve seen. But those of you who are proclaiming it’s only the liberals or the Dems who do this need to expand your source of information or remove your head from the sand or your nether regions, as applicable. Specifically, I would direct your attention to the murder of Melissa Hortman, the speaker of Minnesota’s House of Representatives and her husband, both democrats (oh and their dog). The man indicted for their murder, is a self proclaimed evangelical Christian. He allegedly targeted them and other prominent democrats in Minnesota because of their politics. I didn’t read every single post in this thread so I apologize if this has already been mentioned. But these murders occurred less than 90 days ago. I did go back through this page and couldn’t find a thread dedicated to these senseless killings. I am very glad that I didn’t find one blaming Republicans and/or evangelical Christians for their deaths. Because that would be as dumb and/or unfair as blaming an entire party or segment of a part for Charlie’s death. We know next to nothing at this point other than a good man, husband and father was senselessly executed. And while I think a lot of many of you who post here, whether I agree or disagree with you, if you are one of those who rushes to get to a keyboard and politicize these tragedies, I hate to break it to you but YOU are part of the problem.

I will make this one comment on the “both sides are guilty” argument. Big girl says that we celebrated Trayvon Martin and George Floyd’s deaths. That’s the biggest racist lie in the world, but if she repeats it and spreads it around enough, people will believe it. The Minnesota senator was also mentioned. Yes, she was killed by a so-called right leaning Christian. Am I proud? No. Did I celebrate? No. Charlie Kirk’s killer was raised in a conservative family, but no matter how much we try and raise our kids the right way, they can be indoctrinated. So “both sides” can have some kooks. This will be the point I am trying to make. When the Minnesota Senator and husband were killed, how many people in congress and Fox News made snide remarks about their murders…..NONE. How many people in congress and MSM, and even teachers have made snide remarks about Charlie Kirk’s murder? How many people have rejoiced in Kirk’s murder on social media. It’s really sickening the numbers. True, both sides have their black sheep, but for me, the left is more easily triggered (wrong pronouns) and are simply very callous in their feelings for those of us on the right. Let a man wear a MAGA hat while walking down a street in a liberal town. Now, let a man wear a Biden or Kamala shirt while walking down the street in a conservative neighborhood and you tell me who is safer. Last post on the subject. Not interested in the back and forth. I hate no one.

Ill take PN-G vs the off week.

New ? Talk about a long road trip.

All my coaches interviews are below for 2025, including Week 3 with Jeff Joseph [Hidden Content]

Spidey---maybe some of those young kids will continue to get better? All programs have cycles of success and down years. That's high school sports. When you have good coaches and a good group of kids, enjoy the ride. When your team struggles, circle the wagons and encourage them to get better. Regardless, if those kids put on your school's colors, love them, encourage them, and support them. On my side of the tracks, if our kids struggle, I hope all Indian fans will love them and encourage them to compete and get better. Tearing them down on a public forum isn't helpful or supportive. Take the next two weeks, heal up, get better in practice, and go compete in district. Good things just might happen. GO INDIANS! Peace.

WOS has never been as big or bigger than PNG and are 20-9 all time vs PNG. That includes beating some very good PNG teams, including the year we went to state in 1999. Something is different at WOS and it’s not enrollment.

Righties on X were screenshotting celebratory posts and posting them and tagging people’s employers asking if they shared the same views as their employees all last night. And I’m going to be honest, I think it’s great. One of the biggest issues we’re facing today is that the fringe lunatic left was able to do and say literally whatever they wanted for a decade, often encouraged to do so by their political leaders. Never being held accountable for abhorrent behavior leads to more bad behavior. It honestly is likely playing a part in these assassinations and assassination attempts. When you’ve had it ingrained into you that the other side is the devil, while simultaneously being allowed to act however you want, it’s no surprise that some take it all the way.

I started deer hunting as an adult. Within a single box of shells I was putting 3 rounds inside of a silver dollar at 200 yds. It's really not hard with a decent gun and good optics. It's also worth noting that this shot had to be a miss that got lucky. From the angle it came in it was likely supposed to be a head shot that was several inches low and happened to catch his neck.

I agree. I don’t support the Democrat party whatsoever. But I’m not going to lump all Democrats into the same basket. My father-in-law, who passed away a couple years ago, voted for Joe Biden. He was afraid his benefits would be cut if he didn’t. He was scared. Old, frail and scared.He succumbed to his illness, and it didn’t really matter at that point. Regardless, he was a Democrat and one hell of a man. He didn’t agree with everything the Democrat party did, just like I don’t agree with everything republican. The people saying I hate all Democrats or I hate all Republicans are what’s wrong with what we have going on today. I don’t agree with the radical right or left. I lean pretty far right, but not to the point of wanting to take someone’s life or injure someone because I don’t agree. I think most Democrats are the same way. We just see the looney far left and think that all Democrats are like that. Well, they’re not. Misguided as they are, most Democrats don’t want to kill anyone over their ideology or beliefs.

I’m not caving into anything. I’m just sick of a crap and the back-and-forth. I never said the left and right are morally equivalent. I simply said there are issues on both sides, and until both sides come to terms for that, this is not going to end. And sadly, none of us can’t identify where the problem is because we’re too busy pointing fingers at the other guy.

I’m no liberal dem, but I agree with this below. We’ve all taken this stupid shit too far. Both sides.

Dem Titans in a Donkey Stompin. 🤣🤣 But the real winner will be Buc-ee's.

I think, for me, Dayton has been the team most exceeding expectations so far. I’m not sure if they are legit quite yet. Wins over Crosby and KP were impressive. KP had just beaten Montgomery the prior week before Dayton beat them by 43. Dayton and Montgomery square off next week and that will be a huge game for pecking order. PNG’s 3-0 start with a win over LP has to be the District favorite. I don’t see Huntsville beating them. Huntsville has new coaches and schemes still to work out. Their 2 losses were against really good teams and I think they will be fine. Definitely don’t want to count out Lake Creek. The loss of their QB and RB was huge but I think they are still a solid team. They should challenge for a playoff spot. Ned will be in the mix. They need to find some offense but could challenge. West Fork also capable of pulling an upset. Splendora will be the caboose. We’ll see what happens with the Dayton/Montgomery game but I’ll say right now: 1. PNG, 2. Huntsville, 3. Dayton, 4. Montgomery, 5. Lake Creek, 6. Ned, 7. West Fork, 8. Splendora

For PNG, I’d like to see the O-line continue to gel in the run game. La Porte was a big leap forward in how we moved the ball on the ground. I was worried we’d get stuffed all four quarters. The secondary needs work, of course, but it’s much better than last year and the open-field tackling has been back to 2022-2023 form. I hope the state ranking and the big win over La Porte don’t cloud our vision. It’s a tough district, and preseason records don’t tell us everything about how a season will go. I haven’t seen much of Dayton, and nothing from the two Montgomery schools. I think Lake Creek is down from last year. We’ll find out next week. Just going off game results (and Dayton’s first game, which I was able to watch) Dayton and Montgomery are looking good. Huntsville has some issues, especially tackling and the blocking has been spotty, but they’re fast and big and if they tighten up they should be solid. Nederland has to figure out some offense. Until we see if that happens, it’s hard not to wonder what will happen against district opponents. West Fork looks fundamentally sound - I think they’ll surprise some people. Splendora is Splendora.

Even the situational use is more than we did under the last coach. Reid Richard barely came off the field in the playoffs during the 2023 season. And, when there is situational use, it’s clear the player has been trained well even in their temporary role.

Leaning towards attending this one. Either this one, United at Jasper or Buna at Kountze. If I go to this one, definitely will be eating at Papadeaux's and sitting in press box and not standing on sidelines. BISD always has me my reserved spot in press box. But Buna at Kountze can have me at Mama Jack's and all you can eat seafood buffet.

Is there a grassy knoll?

One of the best events I’ve attended in the fall. Well organized. Great matchups and amazing environment for fall hoops.

Shouts to Lamar’s accounting program for teaching me everything I know.

The statement was they hired a Dline coach with no head coach experience and no one should expect that to work. I stated that Silsbee hired an Oline coach with no head coach experience and it is working out just fine. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't but Silsbee is one of the situations that disproves that it never works.

Where to begin? This was good loss. This was learning experience. This is something we can take with us into district. Knowing we've played a top tier team to the best of our abilities. And seeing how a good staff strategically stops our game plan. We can build on this. Everyone better be there Monday ready to work. Ready to "EARN IT" Now I ask... do u think we believe that? Do you think the kids, or the coaches believe it? Is there anyone left wanting to bet the house on the Mustangs to win district? Dave Campbells changed their pick before the season ever started. We knew it would be tough to split the first 2 games. LV was an L. Now the next 2 htown games we'll be lucky to split. 1-2 turns to 2-3. Enter district with Jasper for Homecoming. Maybe we go 3-2 finish 3rd. Is 5-5 considered improvement? Second round and down. 6-6? WOS is better than this and we know it. Experts, announcers, SETXsports legends, Facebook fans. You know it too. Board members? Superintendent? <tap tap tap> Is this mic on?

I understand the restrooms even have a/c. Haven’t been able to take Mama to an actual game yet. Only a pep rally. As nice as everything is & handicap seating, elevators and all, she still has to have assistance in the restroom and there’s no family restroom. But, you can’t accommodate everyone all the time. We can still watch from home. So, that’s good. She misses the bands though.

Another great Coach Joseph classic. Great game and team LaPorte. Congrats Indians

Safe travels home Indian fans & good luck the rest of the way. LP needs their week off to regroup for district after the schedule they’ve played.

I don’t know anyone that CELEBRATED Treyvon Martin’s death. They just said his killer was innocent of murder. Huge difference.

A radical hard right Christian dude killed a Democrat representative and her husband just a couple of months ago. I personally don't think the two sides are equal in these situations, but both have some blame.

Ma'am, that's a far-left opinion hit piece written by a far left hack named Christopher D. Cook. Please find a non-opinion piece from someone a little less divisive, and you may get some traction.

Then I’ll say it again. Until there is a cool down from both sides, this ain’t gonna stop.

Anyone that can’t see that unless temperatures cool all the way around - far left, far right, need to be painted with that same idiot brush.

So what will be your viewpoint if the shooter is a Republican? Until the shooter is caught and revealed, no one can make that for certain that it's one-sided.

He was a rising star, he had great political potential. He could have been our President at some time in the future. Everybody asks "WHY?" The seeds of this was planted in the recent past, and when TDS went unchecked in the "mainstream" media, unhinged violence is sure to follow. I remember Madonna screaming to a crowd "We need to blow up the F###ing WhiteHouse" after Trump took office, and D-lister so called comedian Kathy Griffin holding up a severed, bloody, decapitated Trump head to the adoring crowd. No accountability ever followed for either one. Then there was not one but two Trump assassination attempts. These lefties are not just sick, they are plain EVIL.

I have a hard time throwing all liberals in one basket. Almost everyone would condiment this type of act.

It's a snapshot of Oct 31 Schools have until Nov 7 to turn in the Oct 31 snapshot

Dayton Vs Montgomery

Watching the same one you're watching. I watched it many times and still don't see one. Another nationally known guy said the something I've said. where's the gun? But, again, just my opinion and eyesight.

He’s clearly carrying something that looks long and skinny wrapped in cloth when he jumps off the building. I’m not sure what video yall have been watching.

Dayton plays a solid game without Foster our starting RB - now it's time for the real season! ,, GO BRONCOS @

!!score:13/27/f

Good game La Porte. Every time Simon or Ruffin touched the ball I held my breath. Ya’ll have a super good team.

They were the highlight of the game. It was good to hear them play at halftime. Texan live is only broadcast that mutes the sound.

!!:13/20/3

21-7 West Brook @ the half

I suppose we can agree there’s stupid people on both sides, but to compare Kirk’s political assassination to G Floyds death is a ridiculous stretch.

😳 😳 omg… thanks for the vital info!

Ive found nothing. Maybe Facebook. If so I'll post a link in the game thread

Sir, are you saying the tables have never been turned? Even recently? If You are not aware of any violence that has also originated from the right, then I beg you to research it. Neither side is innocent.

Indeed, regardless of the outcome, it's a good pre-district game for PNG for sure. Hoping for no injuries, both teams.
