Oh the outrage!!! Lower a flag? How about just standing up...which is what the entire dem side of congress couldn't do for a young black boy suffering from brain cancer (State of the Union)...or mothers of the women who were raped and murdered by illegals. You're talking about 1 man lowering a flag when your entire party can't even muster enough integrity to stand.. LOL at the selective outrage!

We'll be live from Houston Sunday and Monday from 11am-2pm with a great cast of college and TXHSFB head coaches, so join us for free if you are jonesing for some TXHSFB talk!! Also we'll have a special live edition of TepAndStepp Tuesday AM at 9am on the final day of the convention

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.

It only took 3 post for Trump to come up....lol You brought up Trump in a post that had NOTHING to do with him. Why? Mueller went after Trump and his entire family over bogus information. If someone went after my family and threatened to put them in jail for life, I'm sure I'd feel the same way if it was malicious......

Couldn't get the sweep but we got the series dub over that other team. 💪🏾 1st place in the division. On to the all-star break........

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.

Last year, La Porte lost their DC to Shadow Creek. Now, LP’s All District Edge/OLB Caden Watson transferred to Shadow Creek. Was curious why he wasn’t in DCTF mag. Now, I know why.

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.

There was a Brian Morgan just hired to be OC at Converse Judson but thats a different Brian Morgan haha

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

I understand that completly, I was just meaning with growth and the time it's going to take to get to that point, it would only be a guess as to which division they would be in.

I put both losses on King but that’s just me.

If it can be proven of foreign involvement in our elections, and I think it probably can, then Trump has a national security angle to deal with it! I like it! Trump!

I always get my best information from lesbian, washed up, ex-reality stars whose only claim to fame is trying to get obese people with no willpower to lose a few pounds. Hormuz has been formally recognized as an international free navigational waterway since the UN Agreement in 1982.

[Hidden Content] We see a con man. You see a 👑

7-3 dub in game 1.

Prices are rising. What cult do you join to misspell boys? You were absent on the prices coming down. Was it deliberate or did you just forget? Anything for you to whine about. Got it.

Bingo!

great draw with the HISD district Rd 1...Stafford is the only I see with a good shot at winning Rd 1 likely vs the 4 seed

I am sure the Iranians aren’t playing us at all. 🙄

Is the Athletic Director going to make himself the Offensive Coordinator to fill that vacancy left by Graham's departure? Lmao...

Saw this earlier today as well. WO-S countering with these two.

I don't exactly disagree with your picks, but it would be nice to hear your analysis for how your top 4 choices fit your criteria.. From a Lufkin guys perspective, the Panthers are loaded on defense, however there are many unknowns on the offensive side with all the key skilled positions fielding all new starters. The OL will be pretty good. I believe Lufkin has much to prove this year, they will be really young, there were 38 Freshman who played on the Varsity in the Spring game who will be sophomores in August,. There are 27 Seniors and 34 juniors on the 2026 team. Several of those Sophomores and Juniors of course will be on JV. PAM only has 2 O starters returning, while WB has 7 and United has 6 and LaPorte 7. WB and United only return 4 starters on D each. PAM lost a couple key players but they still return 7 from that D who played in the Semi Finals last year. That is significant. LaPorte returns a potent offense. Your top two choices are solid. I think GC dropping down from 6A and after playing NS, SC and CE King will surprise this district, they return 6 on O and 9 on D. You can't tell me they won't find some advantages to that move down. Now Sterling also returns a ton of starters on both sides too (8 O/6 D) who will be looking to improve on last seasons success. Can't comment on NC or Ball, DCTF has picked them at the bottom of the district. Anyway, I look at returning starters and where they finished in 2025, head coaches and who they played last season. When you look at those factors you can see the makings of a competitive district. Although I've done analysis many years now, I'm still looking at this 9-5A district from afar, and with Lufkin located from 110-140 miles further North of our SETX opponents, it makes us a little isolated from that football corridor information.

Newton scores then got the 2pt… Franklin next possession was a strip fumble returned for td to make it a 14 point game

Worked out better than the season Nederland had so i would say he made the right choice at the moment.
