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.

The 2026 summer edition of DCTF went to press as scheduled on Friday We will reveal the cover of the magazine at Noon on Monday June 1 on Texas Football Today Magazines should be mailed out to subscribers mid-late June Magazines should start showing up in stores late June/early July!

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.

Barbers Hill also wins state in 5 innings Barbers Hill 11 Aledo 0 Final

Might need to get the tiebreakers out...this district on paper is actually deeper than I thought...the two Baytown schools won't be pushovers with all that they bring back....I think New Caney will be a thorn in the side of someone as well...fun district

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.......

Baseball’s almost over, DCTF magazine is on its way. It’s officially football season.

Finished the month of May off with a sweep over the royals. Friday W 9-1 Saturday W 7-6 Sunday W 6-3 Heading to st. louis for a 3 game series. Season record: 28-31

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.

Main cover should have Sark and McGuire on it with boxing gloves.

He can’t. He won’t. But, right now, he’s lost the support of those who didn’t want him to start in the first place, and he’s losing the support of those who realize the need, but want him to finish the job all the way to regime change because they know it’s the only way.

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

CH won it all in 2017 with 10-0 win over Wall

Liberty wins in 6 innings Liberty 12 Brock 0 Final

Trump looks weak.......? How weak would China look if they took out our Navy and Air Force? How weak would China look if they took out 40 plus of our leadership starting with Trump? How weak would China look if they could prevent 90-95% of all trade the US has? You guys are doing some wild stuff to try and make us look weak......

Astros win 5-1. Houston takes 3 of 4 from Arlington. Astros lead Silver Boot series 5-3 and are now tied with Arlington in the division.

Trump or the GOP are not conservatives. There is nothing conservative about spending 2 trillion dollars a year more than you take in, there’s nothing conservative about allowing 500,000 Chinese students into our country because you don’t want to offend Xi. There’s nothing conservative about not addressing Xi about allowing Covid into our country and destroying hundreds of thousands of businesses and millions of deaths & shutting down a 36 trillion dollar economy. I could go on but I’ll stop there.

Those who have been in armed conflict are usually the last ones to want to start one. But, when the decision is made, and the ‘trigger is pulled’, anything less than all out effort gets more of ‘our people’ dead. Avoid civilian casualties where possible. If not possible, and legitimate targets are keyed, it is a sad byproduct of conflict. If you don’t have the stomach for it, don’t start the conflict. I can guarantee the IRGC wouldn’t blink twice if they had the capability to set off a dirty bomb in a civilian area in the U.S. THAT’s who we’re dealing with. The version of beliefs they hold actually desires the end of Israel and the Big Satan. Not just the military. The entire civilian population. They don’t care. They believe it will usher in the return of their prophet. Others are more secular, and just know if they lose power, they’ll be killed. I’m not joking when I say these folks are bat sh t crazy. If you don’t eliminate them, they’ll pull another cockroach in 2-3 years. Better to deal with it now than take a chance on the next Administration being Gavin & AOC, or someone similar.

Nice win 4-3 Yordan 2 dingers again 19 qnd 20. Good pitching by Burrows. King made it interesting again as Pedersen hit his 2nd dinger off him and De Los Santos closed it out nice

So you don’t like free thinking conservatives that do not pledge unconditional allegiance to the Trump MAGA program? There can be loyalty to a fault.

Trump's choice for Texas Attorney General lost 55-45.

It was about $2.59 a gallon when he took office then got it down to $1.99 for maybe 2 weeks and now where paying $3.79 a gallon or more. There are your facts. Yes ….your guy did that!

That was faster Reagan getting upset about someone being critical of Trump!😂

Whoever the political advisor was he listened to that said a ceasefire was a good idea should be immediately fired. When he made the decision to begin the conflict, he should have been all-in, and only listened to his military leaders from then on out.

Trump Disappointment Syndrome will be exposed at the mid terms. I know…you’re not a part time cult member you’re a full time cult member.

Odds are high that Lamar's season will end this weekend. UH could have waited a few days to make this announcement.

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.

Imai, Okert and Santa combine for the no no. Imai: 6IP, 0 H, 2 K, 4 BB Okert: 1IP, 0 H, k, BB Santa: 2IP, 0 H, K

If you want to see what's really happening with the kinetic actions, among other news, the site I posted earlier has a lot of info for details. It shows (graphically as well with zoomable detail maps) each specific instance of strike, attempted strike, etc. all from verified intel, satellite, Centcom, etc. Kind of nerdy. But, also very revealing. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]strike/37

The trade was strictly about the money. No question. I only made the comparison (actually, got the comparison off an X post) to show what the Astros were getting for $4.7 Mil less. Houston couldn't keep Dubon. I believe they got what they were expecting in return. A decent player off the bench.

checking in with last year's CWS field...after Coastal's defeat this morning... LSU, Arizona, Louisville, and Murray State -- missed postseason Coastal -- eliminated UCLA, Arkansas, and Oregon State -- alive in the loser's bracket looks like heavy turnover from 2025 to 2026 in Omaha

Really nice 9-2 win good Offense and good pitching

First of all, I’m 99.9999% sure that Trump will not give Iran money. And second, Trump won’t let Iran get a nuclear weapon.

#1 seeds were 11-4 vs 4 seeds yesterday. And I'm counting UGA as a win even though their game was suspended with them leading 15-1. Two seeds were an abysmal 3-11 vs three seeds. So higher ranked seeds went 14-15 against lower seeds.

London 9 Huntington. 4. Game one

No sir they lost in 2000...

Where does this topic rank amongst longest running

Looks like Jacob is a WOS Mustang now.

I told CB/THEMISSINGBAND AND ERRONEOUS BIG PAXTON WOULD WIN. 😂 He was wrong about Trump getting re-elected and now Paxton! 😂

****Updated**** Winning a state championship is how legends are created. According to my research, Southeast Texas has won 40 state basketball championships. I consider any city/town within a 35-mile radius of Beaumont to be in Southeast Texas. The first overall state championship in any sport dates back to 1925, when Beaumont High (formerly Beaumont Central) won the basketball title, and the last State Championship was in 2025, when Beaumont West Brook won. Putting things into basketball perspective in Southeast Texas, Beaumont has 11, Port Arthur has 10, Buna has 7, Kountze has 5, Hardin Jefferson has 3, Silsbee has 2, Orange has 1, and Evadale has 1. There have been so many incredible teams that it's hard to rank a top ten without excluding some great teams. Now, let me attempt to answer the original question: "Who would you rank 1-10 from teams that won state like PA Lincoln, Hebert, Ozen, Kountze, Silsbee, West Brook, and United. Who would be #1? All State Championship Teams: 1. Beaumont Hebert 4A1981 (35-2) (Coach Fred Williams) 2. Port Arthur Lincoln 4A 1986 (33-1) (Coach Gamble) 3. Beaumont Ozen 4A 2001 (36-0) (Coach Boutte) 4. Beaumont United 5A 2022 (36-3) (Coach Green) 5. Port Arthur Lincoln 4A 1984 (32-3) (Coach Gamble) 6. Port Arthur Lincoln 4A 1995 (35-3) (Coach Boutte) 7. Beaumont United 5A 2021 (31-0) (Coach Green) 8. Beaumont Hebert 3A 1980 (35-2)(Coach Fred Williams) 9. Port Arthur Lincoln 4A 1991 (34-3) (Coach Boutte) 10. Beaumont West Brook 5A 2025 (38-2) (Coach Thomas) SETX State 2 Championship Teams 100 yrs.pdf

I disagree… which president of either party has acted like Trump? Which president has a soft core porn actress for a wife? Which president has tried to rename half of Washington after himself? Which other president spoke so hatefully to our allies? Which other President had a felony conviction? The vulgarities… attacked his own party members openly? Endorsed primary challengers against incumbents from his own party? Bragged about sexually assaulting women? Threatens our allies like Greenland? Tripled his net worth with insider trading deals barely a year into his term? Tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power after losing? Ordered a mid-census redistricting to eliminate minority voters? That’s nowhere near a complete list… but i can’t think of another president who has done any of those things… from either party. So when you say “he’s just doing what the democrats do,” you’re just doing what Trump does all the time…being dishonest.

You guys are OLD! I went to Gator games as well, but I was around 12. 😀😀

Back to Livingston. Tried for other openings, but the Lions were the only takers. Oh well, I guess someone could hear the clock ticking to midnight. BH will still have VB talent, so it will be interesting to see if they get a serious coach.
