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.

He’s Putin’s puppet, he’s a bully, Israeli is calling the shots, he’s racist…..whatever they can make up

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.

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

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.

I take no joy in anyone’s death, nor do I ever wish for anyone’s death. If you’re right, and a majority of people are Christians, is it any wonder church attendance is falling in this country? Jesus teaches forgiveness and compassion, two things I can’t find in one plank of the Republican platform. You think we’re not going to pay for electing a blasphemer to lead us? Read your Bible.

Now dat’s funny right there!😂 I knew you had it in you Baddog!

Liberal women don’t want men in their lives, and the liberal men want to lay each other. I wouldn’t brag about that.

Lol - and the DOJ under 3 administrations just let that slide. You state your hate as fact, no wonder you get mad and say things to get removed from the forum. It appears you believe the things you post.

Strictly talking about getting schedules posted here. It's always safe to wait till August to update our schedules here due to changes being made now through July. Also, lot's of schools don't put their schedules for next season on their school website until this school year is over. Bigdog will have all our coverage area team schedules posted before the first scrimmage week.

Well, in your head. In your head you think Barron is an anchor baby😄

Trump!

I would say both and rightly so. He learned A LOT from his first term.

I had originally heard this. Especially when they labelled Blanche as interim.

Oh yea - It will be down. Here is my way of thinking based on what I think I know about trump and humans in general. 1. Trump does not like losing - so you know he is thinking about mid-terms 2. No human would want to get impeached and go though everything he went through during impeachment. 3. He knows the Dems are going to attack him for everything he has done. They are already doing it, but not enough to hold any weight. 4. He is all about his legacy, he does not want to go down a lame duck. Keep this post for reference - Once we take care of Iran, things will start falling......The jobs reports that came out today were AMAZING compared to what was predicted. I also predict 2 rate drops before mid-terms......and possibly tariff refund checks......I do believe that may still be in play

I saw that. I was hoping Coldspring wouldn’t get moved so we could play. We play Shepherd again too, pretty close to the old days

Temporary visitor = temporary allegiance ≠ permanent citizen. Oops... Maybe her wallet was born in Japan?

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

Definitely was him... I was on the freshman team back then before moving back to Coldspring. His youngest son Seth (I think he's Kirbyville's head coach or whatever was my QB back then).

Oh….we’re all getting surcharged alright with the over spending of our government Republican and Democrat. Government Overspending = Taxation without Legislation = Less Disposable Income for the Average American.

Where was the running count when JoeBama had prices going crazy? Not being a hypocrite are you?!

It's going to be OK...... You made it through the Biden years and didn't even complain.....

If you think Trump is doing this on pen and paper, you are mistaken. He is surrounded by smart Generals. Iran has struck a few us bases because they knew where they were plus luck....Russia helping is strictly unnamed sources......about as probable as Trump and Russiagate, which had all of you believing.

Leaving? When did we get there? I’m kinda a math guy, so if other countries are stepping in after we have basically leveled their military, we can slowly back out and let them finish whatever is left. who knows, maybe that was the plan from the beginning…..

That’s if these are enforced.

If y’all come, stop by the Gold Star Memorial in La Porte (5 Points Park) while you’re here. It’s only a mile or two from Sylvan Beach in old downtown LP. Impressive monument. La Porte is a very veteran heavy community. [Hidden Content]

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 .

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…..

Astros start out 0-2 and are now 3-2. Altuve with a 4 hit (2HR) game. Alvarez hit a HR way out in RF bleachers. Great win over the Sox.

Every time you hear about somebody trying to stop people from voting, it’s a Republican. Republicans are a dying breed. They need to “Make America Great Again.” Like pre-1964, before the Civil Rights Act. How about a little more separate but equal… is that what they mean by Great Again? Maybe they’re talking pre-suffrage, when women were finally allowed to vote? Or would yall prefer to go back to pre-civil war days? How far back until we’re “Great Again.” Republicans want to go back to ways of thinking that were exclusionary, biased, and wrong. They miss the days when they oppressed everybody, but those hateful days are thankfully over and we’re never going back. Too much progress has been made, and the correct movement is correctly named progressive.

Plus the rod, the reel, tackle box, fish finder, and trolling motor, too… he’s all in.

I am not bothered in the least. Trump started saying stupid crap in 2016 when he announced that he was running for president. It’s been 10 years and he hasn’t stopped. So what? He is a school yard bully. He’s the guy that if you have done something good, he has done it twice and did it better than you buddy times. Do you lose sleep over that? I have absolutely despised some people politically and don’t like hearing about their deaths. As an example I did not like Supreme Court Justice RBG. When she passed away I did but cheer as some people. I would rather she resigned from the Court when she found out that she had a terminal condition and lived out her last couple of years in peace. She didn’t but I didn’t cheer her death either publicly or privately. Others did but it is no different than when Charlie Kirk was assassinated or Rush Limbaugh died. Such stupid public behavior is not limited to one side if the aisle and in my opinion it is far more prevalent from the left. Far more…. Is it presidential? Not in the least. Since when has Trump been presidential? I want the border closed. I want to have a strong military. I want the government to be aggressive deporting illegal aliens. I want the federal government to stop with trying to disarm America. I don’t want men showering with women in school or college sports. I don’t want men playing in women’s sports leagues. I want essential services from the federal government like the TSA and HLS opened up and pay those critical workers while the parties argue over non-essential issues. None of that even closely would happen had Trump lost the election. The Democrats are obsessed with Trump’s demeanor while ignoring virtually everything else. That’s why Trump won the last election. NEWSFLASH: Trump can’t run again! The left is still obsessed with his words. In 2 years and 10 months at the most, Trump is gone from politics and for better or worse, we will all move on. Ten years after he announced his bid for the presidency, the left seems stunned that Trump has made a crude statement. 🤣🤣🤣 The often calls of the Trump cult are equally hilarious. The only true cult is the other side of the aisle who hangs on a lame duck president’s latest comment which is almost certainly made to enrage them. It works!!! But again, I couldn’t care any less about Trump’s crude comment. I would never make such a statement and I don’t support it. I do care completely about the political issues that I posted and others. So keep letting Trump live rent free in your head. I am sure that new appreciated it! 😂😂😂

I've advocated to facilities upgrades for forever on this site (since I created an account). I used to catch a lot of ridicule from the old school mentality of, "it was good enough for my grandparents.. it's good enough now".. when in reality, if you're not providing top notch facilities, then your kids will go somewhere that has them. It's recruiting without recruiting. Plus, knowing that these tax rate increases are so small in the grand scheme of things.. it's beyond my level of comprehension why communities wouldn't want a school they're proud to show off. There's an enormous sense of pride associated with knowing that other schools are potentially jealous of what you have when they come to visit. Just pass the bond. Upgraded facilities will have a positive impact on your students' experiences for long after you've died.

I stand by that a POTUS should not be making these kind of comments. Should be held to a higher standard. Us every day Joes, not so much. I want my President to show a little class in these type situations. Just completely unnecessary to make those comments.
