Bannon is a scumbag. But LOL at anything related to "threat to democracy" or "pillars of democracy" coming from a dem, whose party unilaterally installed an unelected Kamala as their candidate. And is about to hand-pick a senator replacement for your rapist in Maine.

You remind me of one of those people who can't accept when they are wrong. They keep trying to prove their theory, and all it does is dig a deeper hole. Just stop because you know damn good and well that PNG's staff, Carthage's staff, is not rolling into Vidor and winning WITHOUT the help of Jimmy's and Joe's transferring in.

Not the players huh?!?! So, when Vidor was playing against players like James Brown, Leeland McElroy, Tiki Hardeman, Adam Dunn, Clint Stoerner and a ton of other players... Vidor had a chance if they had better coaching?!?! Or when Vidor's heaviest offensive lineman is 200lbs playing across from D-lineman that avg. 250... not the players, huh? Or when Vidor's fastest player runs a high 4.7 and their opponent has multiple players run 4.6 or better... not the player's, huh? Better coaching would have those players running faster and putting on more weight and would of had them competing against players who had great high school, college, and pro careers, huh?!?!

I'd stick with predicting elections, or something different. You've been wrong on this one from the very beginning.

I believe both Vance and Trump have mentioned there are different groups that do not agree with the deal Trump is making with the current leadership. They have also mentioned that communication can take days because the gay leader does not want to give away his position. Taking that in to consideration along with the fact that none of the leadership is willing to go in public, there may be a leadership/communication problem..... So, to me that makes Slim's statement believable.

Interviews monday and Tuesday.

Astros are currently 2 games back of Texas. Houston is 47-50, Rangers are 48-47.

Semi finals

I usually research my posts before posting them. I didn’t on this one. My apologies.

Lol, per Grok. Like I said we’re still being played. He’s not playing 9D chess like you think so. No, this is not true—it’s sensationalized hype, likely from a clickbait video or post. youtube.com The core claims (a “secret geopolitical chess move” by the US and Oman that stripped Iran of its Hormuz leverage, trapping them with a surrender-or-global-war ultimatum while the world was distracted by “ceasefire headlines”) do not match available reporting. Here’s the actual context as of mid-2026: Background on the Strait of Hormuz situation • The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments. Iran has long claimed significant influence and has threatened or disrupted shipping during tensions. • There was a US-Iran war or major conflict phase earlier in 2026, followed by a fragile memorandum of understanding (MoU)/ceasefire framework in June that aimed to reopen the strait for normal (toll-free) commercial traffic. apnews.com • Tensions flared again recently: Iran (or elements acting in its name) attacked vessels in/near the strait, violating the understanding. The US responded with strikes on Iranian targets, declared the ceasefire “over” (while agreeing to continued talks at Iran’s request), and reinforced naval presence. foxnews.com Trump’s statements and US position Trump has repeatedly stated that the strait must remain open to everyone as international waters, with no single country controlling it. The US has positioned forces to “watch over” it, helped facilitate ship transits (including “Project Freedom” and reported secret operations moving oil), issued sanctions, and set deadlines/ultimatums for Iran to stop attacks on shipping. dw.com This is public rhetoric and policy, not a hidden revelation. Oman’s role Oman (a neutral mediator with ties to both sides) has hosted or facilitated talks. Iranian and Omani officials have discussed “safe passage” mechanisms, bilateral issues, and possible joint arrangements for the strait. There have been proposals involving fees/service charges (which the US opposes for an international waterway) and coordination along Omani routes. aljazeera.com This is diplomatic mediation and bilateral talks, not a secret US-Oman plot to “strip” Iran’s leverage. Shipping has continued with risks, US naval support, and alternative routing emphasis. aljazeera.com The “ultimatum” The US is demanding Iran publicly affirm the strait is open and stop shooting at ships as a condition for de-escalation. Talks continue in Oman. Iran has pushed back, cited errors or factions, and insists on its rights/sovereignty. No credible reports describe Iran as “trapped with nowhere to turn” or facing an all-or-nothing choice that inevitably triggers “devastating all-out global war.” bbc.com Why the claim is misleading • Exaggerated drama: Ceasefire violations, strikes, and talks are ongoing and reported—not a “hidden maneuver” while the world was distracted. • No evidence of a game-changing secret deal: US-Oman coordination exists in the context of mediation and freedom-of-navigation operations. Iran’s leverage is reduced by military pressure and parallel routing, but it retains territorial waters, rhetoric, and some disruption capability. aljazeera.com • Typical clickbait framing: These posts often mix real tensions (Hormuz incidents, Trump statements, Oman talks) with conspiracy-style hype to imply imminent catastrophe or genius 4D chess. Real risks exist—disruptions to energy markets, escalation potential, and fragile diplomacy—but the situation is fluid negotiations backed by military posturing, not a cornered Iran on the brink of world war. Mainstream coverage (from multiple outlets) reflects this without the apocalyptic spin.

This feels like an “argument for arguments sake” topic.

Ahhh the age old question, is the coach or the players? Seems to me the actual answer is somewhere in between…

Lol

And every kid that has played for him during those 11 state titles has all been from Carthage? No extra Jimmys and Joes... all from Carthage

I agree. I see WO-S winning this one by 3 TD+

Will be a good one for WOS. Game will not be competitive. WOS will be able to name their score.

Awesome staff… doesn’t mean they go to another school and start winning without the jimmys and joes.

So you are saying it's never ever the players when a team loses a game or has a losing season. No matter what it's always on the coaches. Regardless of any situation or circumstance, it will always be the fault of the coaches when a team is not successful. I believe you are stating opinion and not fact. Which is perfectly fine but don't claim it as fact. You posting a coaching record is a fact but doesn't necessarily tell the whole story. I think several folks on here have given you examples of a coach who won a state championship but overall was not very successful. Like you always say, your entitled to your opinion but not your own facts.

Sorry about that... it was not directed at you. I should not have quoted you. That was more or less a post for people who think they know everything about Vidor because they read a stat line or look up some historical data.

With a 6-3 win today coupled with a 6-5 loss by the Mariners, Astros are now 2 games back.

If so, I called it in real life, offline lol

Give those columns some more of the little blue pill to stiffen ‘em up.

No doubt Sam Walton is turning over in his grave. American made was something he built his business on and was proud of it. His kids are some greedy individuals. Not to mention he took care of his employees. Today they treat their employees like numbers because that’s what they are to them. I stay away from Chinamart as much as I can.

WB making the playoffs and will knock off your Titans,

Can you tell Trump to lower the Tacoma down to about $28,000 and I’ll buy one! I mean since he has that power. 😁

The new OC will definitely will definitely bring the offense back from the Stone Age. Was kind of surprised he would leave Colorado State and come to high school but that's the pull of Coach Williams already paying dues. At the end of the day math just doesn't math though. With our demographics we just don't have the enrollment to play with the top 4 teams in the district and probably not with Kingwood either. Have to remember Kingwood backing into the playoffs a couple years ago with a shocker over CE King and making the regional final. SEC commit in the middle of the defense and a 5* A&M commit at left tackle anchoring a very good offensive line and they have 0 shot. That's life outside the top 4 in this district. North Shore is ranked #2 but I think Summer Creek might be the best team in the district and by far the team set up for the most success over the next decade? They couldn't deal with the CE King run game last year but I'm not sure they don't win a state title if they had went D1. That being said it's almost crazy to think CE King will still field the best collection of skill players in the district and IMO opinion the favorite out of all those teams to win a state title now that Desoto has dropped to 5A. Atascocita is the wild card, for the first time in over a decade they'll get to play D2 and their new coach already has experience coaching high level kids being that he was on staff for Desoto's 2022 state title. Not that the record would reflect it in the next four or five years but I think Crosby is going to get very good relatively fast playing in this district similar to CE King's rise simply because of what it's going to take every Friday night just to be "competitive".

Muslims never immigrate to other Muslim countries. They always immigrate to Christian (or supposedly Christian) countries. Almost seems like its on purpose, doesn't it?? What could possibly be their reason??? LOL

Well 4 hit 2-0 shutout Lambert win Hader save no 9 Paredes and Walker Dingers for the total. I'll take it

Marlin was way down last year I think they went 2-8 or 1-9 but could have just been young I don’t know much about them. Outside of them and hearne im unfamiliar with everyone in that district should be interesting and Crockett, madisonville, college station would all be on the table everyone in our district and in 13 is due west of us!

The two amigos still believe there is some master plan by Trump that will put us in a Utopian State. Lol

The Trump Effect.

Big 8th inning for the home team 💪🏾

Took 2 out of 3 from the angels. Tuesday W 8-3 Wednesday L 1-13 Thursday W 7-6 astros come to town for the last series before the All-Star break. Season record: 47-46

Trump!

Good question. I believe Jasper ISD is not in the black therefore not sure they have that luxury to have that many on staff without being full time employees. I could be wrong.

The bigger question (and maybe asked in a different forum), will any or all three teach any classes? Jasper ISD is in no shape to have employees that only coach football positions and 2nd sport.

He would not win at "Huntington" or "Tarkington".

I've seen Vidor win when they've had a wave of talent come through, funny how that works. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Vidor coaching staff is one of the best. Multiple high-quality coaches. Coaching has not been the issue at Vidor.

Some rebuilding going on…so here’s my prediction… 1. Bridge City 2. Lumberton 3. Vidor 4. LCM 5. Huffman 6. Livingston 7. Liberty

I don't think any honest, true conservative person would think that Trump's an idiot.

Is that what they told you when you were in the situation room?

There are factions and leadership inside Iran that want to make a deal, and there are hard-liners in the IRGC that do not. These do not sound like some coordinated attacks, but rather some hard-liner trying to sow chaos. But if it continues, things are going to escalate.

Coverage area teams I am keeping my eye on this coming season: North Shore WO-S Trinity Diboll Hemphill

Hardin will beat the brakes off WV. WV is about to be a dumpster fire. Fortunately, outside of Newton and Hardin, the district is utterly pathetic.
