CB is all about reaction. Loves shooting into hornets nests. Trolling is what he does the best. Been that way on this site for years.

I was there. Hillin wasn’t “escorted off the field.” Was there a Buna ISD officer there, yes, but just to make sure he left the field after the ejection. It’s normal procedure when things like that happen. Hillin left immediately after he was ejected without issue.

Good news: Both F-15 pilots are rescued and SAFE! [Hidden Content]

Back in those days, to load the grain ship, she had to be maneuvered back and forth to level out the grain. The bow and stern mooring lines had to be loosened and tightened to move the ship to and fro. I had nothing to do with their mooring as Continental Grain Elevator was separate from Mobil, but they were next door and we were able to watch. They probably have better loading procedures today, but that’s how it was done in the olden days. Lol. Some of the smaller tankers that were not Mobil owned, had much smaller mooring lines. Their ropes were about 2” diameter and we called them “kite stringers”. Some ships had bow thrusters and were able to dock using just one tug. Bow thruster was a propeller located in the bow that moved the ship port or starboard. Only dealt with one of those. Mobil ships had 4” ropes for mooring. On the bow and stern, the ropes were accompanied with 1” cables. Had a special hook for the cables called pelican hooks. The ropes went in a simple hook because we were able to lift the rope out of the hook to sail. The pelican hook was specially designed to handle the weight of the cable and a release that would allow disengagement. All mobil ships coming in to dock had to pass up the docks and enter the turning basin where the tugs would turn the ship around before mooring so that she was heading out after loading. All ship traffic was not necessarily hauling in crude. Some were sailing in to load heating oil for up north. That was a regular trip. Had a ship named the Grigerosa which brought in Mexican crude. You could smell her before she rounded the bend……high sulphur content. I could go on but I’m sure this is boring to some. I think you have a great knowledge of the refining part. I picked up a little along the way. I was in my 20s when this took place.

I might make it over there. My older brother did 26 years in the Navy and lives in Richmond. I am sure that he will take part. I wish the Battleship Texas was back open to the public but it still has a few months before the final berth is ready in Galveston.

For an actual war update, I hope we don’t hit their power plants and bridges. I do care about the Iranian people, no matter what some may think or say. This would make it more difficult on the people. I pray we reach a deal and get the strait opened to full capacity.

Y'all?? I don't get in back and forth with CB. I do call him out from time to time when he makes inaccurate posts or falsehoods.

I heard from a very reliable source that Trump is coming after Trumper haters on small social platforms across America starting with SETXSPORTS Political Forum starting Monday. I believe you and CB’s name was mentioned.

Our military leaked information to draw Iranians AWAY from the airman, then attacked them while the rescue team rescued the airman at the correct location, without one UD casualty. That is pretty impression and will go down in the history books😎 I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they called that mission Hook, Line and Sinker. Of true, that is 😂

Astros lead MLB with runs scored (60) Lead in many offensive categories in the AL.

No, sir. Trump admits that there was massive fraud, hence the need for the SAVE Act. Y’all cheated, Trump and the republicans confessed every time they claim that election integrity is a problem, they’re admitting that they didn’t actually win.

Schedules usually don't get updated until August.

Before Barbers Hill and Huffman came in it was Madisonville. Coldspring, Cleveland, and Madisonville were the ones making it out then.

Listening to Brown-Jackson’s logic is hard on the brain. You know, if she was in Japan and stole a wallet then the Japanese police would arrest her but if she had her wallet stolen in Japan, she would expect the police to arrest whoever did it. That’s why we need birthright citizenship. 🤣🤣🤣 I guess when you can’t define what a woman is, that’s about as deep as a person can think.

Miss the good ole days of Coldspring, Shepherd, Splendora, Cleveland, Tarkington, and Liberty all being 3A and in the same District.

Believe whatever you want to believe. Newton would beat the brakes of Yoakum.

If offered, I would accept. Fully knowing that I’ll be fired shortly, branded a traitor, and ridiculed by the Trump supporters. But it would all be worth it because for a brief minute when Trump announced my hiring, y'all would all love me.

Just be proud of those 1,000 imaginary EV chargers you helped build to help with your fuel costs.

They didn’t specifically mention the presidency but Sauer in his arguments stated that by 2015 there were like 200 or 500 (I don’t remember the numbers) companies in China whose business it is to send women to the US to have babies and then bring them back to China to be raised by their laws and culture. Then they could return later as they were US citizens at birth. One is the follow up questions for his was something like, is there any evidence of that happening or any numbers of people returning or something to that effect. My follow up might have been, it’s only 11 years since 2015. No one born around then is an adult yet.

It appears to be Donald Hubbard. 15-15 at Shepherd

At one time this site was the only place to get local scores updated in real time. We had threads for every game with great fans that updated every inning and some every batter. Now every team has GameChanger that anyone with a cell phone can pull up any game live. No other sport has this, thus they need this message board for updates. I did see one local varsity GC get shut off because the parent that was scoring for the team gave Little Jonny an error. His parents ran to the school board and said it was a hit. Maybe that team still needs this site…..

Y’all should start a separate Scripture/Beliefs discussion thread.

Attorneys for Rep. Eric Swalwell demanded in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel that the bureau refrain from releasing decade-old investigative files involving the congressman’s purported ties to a suspected Chinese intelligence operative. He was pushing for the Epstein files screaming transparency, he changed his tune pretty quick…..lol [Hidden Content]

We like to call those the "Good ole days".

Well, of course there's the dying and the injured - the casualties.

Nice first start of the year for McCullers. 7 IP, 1 run, 4 hits, 9 K's, BB on 95 pitches.

1. Chester (2-0) 2. Brookeland (1-1) 3. Apple Springs (1-1) 4. Zavalla (0-1) 5. Burkeville (0-1)

WOW! Trump!!

Unfortunately, civilians have been a casualty of every war. No one cheers that fact. CB just doing his trolling.

Rumors and wild speculations are just that. Some people get IV treatments for many other reasons. You think he should playing golf with a war going on?

Hopefully, he's correct. He is retired. So, not sure how he's getting his info.

No chance to be competitive. Coldspring would have exited the Battle of San Jacinto if admin had let them. I imagine the BOSJ will end up like the "Rice Bowl" with EC and HF.

Y'all??? You voted for him. TWICE!! Pot, meet kettle.

So you’re saying that Trump created Covid virus? Let me guess he was secretly working in the bio lab to create it so he could destroy his own presidency. Lol. He handled it the best he could but was too stupid and narcissistic to admit he got played. The massive voting fraud is real, that’s why we have the idiots that we have in office. No evidence was ever allowed to be presented in any of the cases brought forth. Judges say they didn’t have standing. Lol Until we have fair elections nothing will change and this country will eventually destroy itself. The End

Cleveland in basketball for sure. As far as Splendora goes it's for football but they would definitely get bounced out early in seasons they when to the playoffs. In those days Barbers Hill, Huffman and Liberty ran the district on a consistent basis followed by Cleveland and Splendora. The rest of us (outside of us in basketball) were bottom dwellers.

Where has @LumRaiderFan disappeared too?

Oh the irony of this post

I ran a line boat mooring the ships at Mobil in Beaumont back in the 70s. Like you said, the supertankers cannot come into port due to their draft, which in the Neches, is/was around 40 feet max. If my memory serves me, Galveston and New Orleans could handle the drafts (approx. 80’). We actually had the Manhatten visit our grain terminal in Beaumont. She was 1000’ long with a helicopter pad and an ice breaker bow. She only received a partial load and topped off in NO. Coming up the Neches to port, all ship traffic was halted for her to pass, same when she sailed. She also had some history that I won’t get into. The supertankers would stay in deep water and off load to the shuttle tankers which would pick up their pilot and tug, navigate up river (about a 2 hour trek) to Mobil docks in Beaumont, where I would run their mooring lines to the pilings. Mobil employees handled the dock mooring. I also had to release the lines for the ships to sail. We also handled stores. Those were good times. Sorry for the memory post.

Took 2 of 3 from the orioles, coming home for an Easter weekend series with the reds. Season record: 4-2

They came very close to hitting Pena in the ribs also

But but hypocrisy! 😏

Saw it, and like everyone else, did not catch it. The insert box even had the correct count and changed after the third strike. lol. Good thing it wasn’t game changing.

Don’t go all Manchurian candidate on us.

If you have YouTube, there are multiple live streams. Already showing protestors on the Reuters channel with signs saying Trump must go now, etc. look like well-funded groups. POTUS is on his way to attend. I think there’s gonna be a fight between a young black woman with a siren blasting over a Hispanic man with a microphone advocating automatic birthright citizenship. She’s shouting America First over him. This is gonna become WWE before it’s over .

KOGT.COM Silsbee beat Bridge City 6-5. The Tigers scored four in the third off Max Pachar after BC took a 1-0 lead in the first. The Cards added two in the fifth and two in the sixth and had the tying run on in the seventh before Tiger pitcher Matsyn Morris closed the door. Silsbee improves to 5-0 and BC drops to 5-2. – LCM defeated Lumberton 7-3. Jakson Struwe got the win and went 3-4 with a triple and an RBI. Leadoff hitter Mason Istre was 4-4 with a double and 2RBI’s. The Bears (3-2) and the Raiders (2-5) will play again on Thursday.

This is unacceptable. It causes you to look at the positive side of things.

Enjoyed the game tonight. LJM was on fire. I like B. Matthews. He's got game. GO ASTROS! Good guys win!

But but b b biden... never gets old ⏳️

He'll be forever taken as a joke by me when said "I trust trump" lol! 🤣
