10am and we're in the red... "2-hour max practice time. Players are restricted to helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts" Coaches around the state are monitoring their current conditions and will adjust as always. No real threat of missing practice in November December because of this. Hopefully they'll be smart and get the work in early.

You need to give it a rest, it's 2026. 😎

We cant compare games to practice...games are much easier and less strenuous than practice....I was told by an AT that 95% of heat related issues take place during practice. Games have built in breaks much moreso than practice If we are talking about varsity football games start in the evening....WGBT won't be an issue at 7pm if its an issue for freshman/JV games then push start time back a bit or play Sat AM the hand wringing is typical anytime something new happens...coaches will adapt and adjust just fine

I’m sure the upcoming football season will work out fine despite these new rules and people yelling at clouds shaking their fist…

Hot!

3-2 win for Houston. Astros remain 2 games back of Arlington for division lead. Houston has won 7 of last 8.

We'll be previewing each class over the next few weeks Here is Class 1A/2A

I say pitching because that’s what the game is all about. We have plenty of fire power, they just forget to show up some games. Hard to believe Imai was part of the combined no-hitter. I went to bed on them too. Had to get up early. Them west coast games are tough. Lol

Tatsuya Imai has to go. He has failed to get out of the FIRST inning in three of his 15 starts this season and has thrown fewer than five innings eight times. This information is courtesy of Chandler Rome who I follow on the X (old twitter) platform. The Stone Cold Astros podcast believes Dana Brown is a lame duck. The Astros will let him ride out this season, the last year of his contract. If the Astros make a deadline trade, supposedly Brown wants a bat. Espada is asking for starting pitching. Which one will win that tug-of-war?

You know who you are. Lol

The worst thing Massie has done was force Trump to sign off on the Epstein Transparency Act which became law. Ever since then Trump has been butthurt. Massie has voted with Trump 91% of the time. He just doesn’t worship his party, he listens to his constituents and his votes show it. lol

What’s sad is people swallowing everything Trump does and says without questioning anything. Thats what you call sad and pathetic. lol

Don't trust anything Massie says? He's a turncoat!

So why spend so long trying to negotiate?

Well said. 🙂

4-1 win over White Sox. That's 5 straight wins. Brown with a very good outing. 7 IP, 0 runs on just 2 hits, 7 K's and no walks.

The Best High School Football Stadium 2026 is down to Bruce Bradshaw Stadium vs Bulldog Stadium in La Porte. I can't believe Bulldog beat out Eagle Stadium in Allen! But, I must admit, Bulldog is VERY sweet, and just about the right size with the lighting, sound system, open concourse with the picnic tables, and even A/C in the heads. The video screen is awesome as well. Add in the seabreeze from the Bay about 200 yards away, and it's pretty nice.

I think he went in with the noblest of intentions. Whether convinced by outside intel or not is irrelevant. He made the choice. My firm belief is he thought Iran would fold, and collapse early on. He didn't understand the regime, and has recently admitted as much when he backtracked on thinking he could negotiate with them, and called them crazy. He should have known all along. But, many Western minds just don't get it. They can't tie the religious zealot mind to something they can comprehend. Yes. I believe he feels it needs to be done. But, not for altruistic reasons, or even National Security. Now, it's his pride, arrogance, and legacy. He doesn't want the black mark. He wants to be remembered as the POTUS who stopped the terrorist regime and proxies in the Middle East, and this isn't looking good for him. All politicians have egos. His is one of--if not the--biggest I can recall in my 60+ years. He can't stop now. That being said, round up the C-130's, their escorts & about 4 MOABs, and let it rain. Then, decide if a tactical ground assault in key, specific areas is still required. Stop with the pinpoint pricks that cost over $1MM a pop. Bury an area with a $250k munition that will make them think Allah has arrived as they desire. Guarantee if 4 or 5 MOABs shook the country almost simultaneously, it might be a wake-up, come to Allah moment. At least, there wouldn't be much for the IRGC to recover and reconstitute.

Obviously didn’t read what Martin Luther, John Quincy Adams, or Winston Churchill had to say about the so-called ‘religion of peace.’ While I don’t paint all Muslims with the same brush, the belief system itself is built on violence, slavery, and lies. Of course, Obama hadn’t read their thoughts either when he defended the belief system at the U.N. in 2012, and he had the ‘benefit’ of 9/11 as proof. The Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 didn’t change his mind either.

Change started in 1965 with LBJ and congress opening up immigration for said people. And now it’s grown to where they have weaseled their way into govt positions. freedoms come with a cost

Those Friday TBAs I already have games on the docket, just can't announce yet...we got something cooking at DCTF

The U.S. Constitution and Sharia Law John Quincy Adams' 136-page series of essays on Islam displayed a clear understanding of the threat facing America then - and now, especially from the permanent Islamic institutions of jihad and dhimmitude. Regarding these two topics, Adams states: "...[Mohammed] declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind.... The precept of the Quran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that [Mohammed] is the prophet of God. "The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute. As the essential principle of [Mohammed's] faith is the subjugation of others by the sword; it is only by force, that his false doctrines can be dispelled, and his power annihilated. "The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force. "This appeal to the natural hatred of the Mussulmen towards the infidels is in just accordance with the precepts of the Quran. The document [the Quran] does not attempt to disguise it, nor even pretend that the enmity of those whom it styles the infidels, is any other than the necessary consequence of the hatred borne by the Mussulmen to them - the paragraph itself, is a forcible example of the contrasted character of the two religions. "The fundamental doctrine of the Christian religion is the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. It forbids the exercise of it, even towards enemies. There is no denomination of Christians, which denies or misunderstands this doctrine. All understand it alike - all acknowledge its obligations; and however imperfectly, in the purposes of Divine Providence, its efficacy has been shown in the practice of Christians, it has not been wholly inoperative upon them. Its effect has been upon the manners of nations. It has mitigated the horrors of war - it has softened the features of slavery - it has humanized the intercourse of social life. The unqualified acknowledgement of a duty does not, indeed, suffice to insure its performance. Hatred is yet a passion, but too powerful upon the hearts of Christians. Yet they cannot indulge it, except by the sacrifice of their principles, and the conscious violation of their duties. No state paper from a Christian hand, could, without trampling the precepts of its Lord and Master, have commenced by an open proclamation of hatred to any portion of the human race. The Ottoman lays it down as the foundation of his discourse." In conclusion, it is clear from the writings of several of our earliest presidents, as well as the texts of the nation's founding documents, that American principles are not at odds with - and imperiled by - some "radical" or "extreme" version of Islam. Rather, it is the mainstream doctrine of shariah that constitutes the threat to the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms it enshrines. That incompatibility has several practical implications: For one thing, the shariah legal code cannot be insinuated into America - even through stealthy means or democratic processes - without violating the Constitution's Article VI Supremacy Clause, which requires that the Constitution "shall be the supreme Law of the land." Even more reprehensible is the willingness of some among America's elites, and it would appear even a subset of its elected leaders, to accede to these groups' increasingly insistent contention that shariah is compatible with the U.S. Constitution. In fact, based on shariah's tenets, its core attributes - especially its intolerance of other faiths and disfavored populations and its bid for supremacy over all other legal or political systems, there can be no confusion on this score: As the Framers fully understood, shariah is an enemy of the United States Constitution. The two are incompatible. [Hidden Content] (Regardless of thoughts about NCCS, Adams' words are Adams' words.)

I wonder who this really is?!

Crude goes up and gas prices jump immediately. Crude fell to a $70 barrel and gas prices barely budged. It's all a scam folks.

I am told assistant Bethea will take over as head coach but nothing official yet. Bethea was going to be girls head coach but now looks like he will be the boys HC. Getting Jacob Brooks on staff will help matters some.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405 / Pub. L. 119-38) is a federal law signed into law by President Donald Trump on November 19, 2025. It mandates that the Department of Justice (DOJ) publish all unclassified records, investigative materials, flight logs, and travel records related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in a searchable format.

As of today Yordan Alvarez leads the AL in runs, hits, HR, batting average, RBI, on base %, slugging, OPS (on base + slugging), total bases, and intentional walks. He leads a few other "stat nerd" categories as well. He's kinda good.

Blame it on the select sports culture........ If I don't like it one place we will just go somewhere else and parents have encouraged it. Kids play for the name on the back instead of the name on the front now.

I have a friend that was in the Marine Corp for 20+ years. He posted this on his Facebook page. Very interesting comments. Here is the post: I fought and lived through two wars, deployed 8 times, and served our nation faithfully for over 23 years, so pardon me if I don’t keep my mouth shut… Please put your political party, your favorite news channel, and the people you have been told to hate aside for a few minutes, and just hear me out. During my Marine Corps career, I served on two small advisor teams as the senior enlisted Marine in charge. The first was in 2007 in Fallujah, Iraq. The second was in 2012 around Now Zad, Afghanistan. In Fallujah, we lived alongside the Iraqi Army. In Afghanistan, we lived alongside the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP) . We ate with them. We trained with them. We went on missions with them. We fought beside them. We trusted them with our lives because we had no other choice. Our teams were small, and we operated well beyond the immediate reach of American support. If something had happened to us, there were times when our command might not have known for hours, or even days. We were truly alone and unafraid, but we were never invulnerable. At any point, one of those men could have slipped into where we slept and killed us. Do not think that thought did not cross my mind on more nights than I care to admit. But it never happened. That does not mean everything was perfect. It does not mean I trusted every person around me. We were lied to. We were sometimes misled. There were missions when the hair stood up on the back of my neck because I did not know whether we were walking into an enemy ambush, or whether the very people beside us might turn on us. But they never did. Those experiences did not make me naïve about terrorism, radicalism, or the dangers in that part of the world. They taught me something far more important: you cannot judge an entire religion, culture, or people by the actions of their worst members. I saw goodness and deceit. Courage and cowardice. Loyalty and betrayal. Faith and hypocrisy. In other words, I saw the same things that exist in every country, every religion, and every political party, including our own. Fear in a child’s eyes looks the same in a Muslim as a Christian. And before anyone lectures me about Iran, understand something: I have names tattooed on my leg belonging to men who were killed by explosively formed penetrators, the same type of deadly weapon that the United States military documented as being supplied or supported by Iran and Iranian-backed groups in Iraq. We have been fighting proxy wars with Iran for decades. I know what Iranian involvement has cost American service members because I carry part of that cost with me every day. So no, this is not sympathy for the Iranian regime. It is not ignorance of Iran’s history. It is not forgetting the Americans who were killed. It is simply asking: At what point do we say enough is enough? Fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers were Saudi nationals. That fact does not, by itself, prove that the Saudi government planned or directed the attacks, and the 9/11 Commission did not establish that the Saudi government as an institution or its senior officials funded al-Qaeda. But the fact that fifteen hijackers were Saudi, and the unanswered questions many Americans still have, should at least make us willing to question how selectively our outrage and foreign policy are applied. We bomb Iran for being “two weeks away” from a bomb, but the country that started radicalizing their people with Wahhabism and proved 3/4 of the 9/11 hijackers gets a nuke deal… We spent two decades in Afghanistan because al-Qaeda had been given sanctuary and training space there. Now, the United States is engaged in a military campaign against Iran while also entering into a major civilian nuclear cooperation agreement with Saudi Arabia. To be accurate, it is not a nuclear weapons agreement, but it is a significant, decades long nuclear partnership, and Americans have every right to examine it closely and demand consistency from their government. So please explain something to me: In what way is the war with Iran part of an America First agenda? How does it lower gas prices? How does it lower grocery prices? How does it make housing, insurance, electricity, or healthcare more affordable? How does it help the working American who is struggling to keep food on the table? How does it help our veterans, our children, our communities, or our economy? How many more American sons and daughters must be placed in harm’s way while politicians give us another carefully rehearsed explanation for why this war is different from every other war? America First cannot mean Americans come last when the bills arrive and the blood is spilled. I truly believe both political parties have learned the same trick: keep Americans furious with one another so we never look up and hold the people in power accountable. Republican against Democrat. Conservative against liberal. Christian against Muslim. Black against white. Native-born against immigrant. Neighbor against neighbor. They keep us fighting horizontally so we never look vertically. Because a united American people who put truth, accountability, country, and conscience ahead of political parties would be a threat to every political machine that depends on our fear and division to remain in power. This is not simply red versus blue anymore. It is truth versus manipulation. Conscience versus blind loyalty. Good versus evil. And please do not tell me that we must accept the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is still evil. It is okay to say your own party is wrong. It is okay to admit that the person you voted for broke their promise. It is okay to oppose something even when your political team supports it. That is not betrayal. That is what citizenship and patriotism are supposed to look like. Stop being yes men for politicians who would never send their own children to fight the wars they so easily begin. Please open your eyes. Please look into your heart. Do not allow a politician, a television personality, an algorithm, or a political party to convince you that your neighbor is your enemy because he votes differently, looks differently, or worships differently. I lived among Muslims. I ate with them. I trained with them. I distrusted some of them. I trusted others with my life. I fought beside them and they fought beside me. That is reality. Not a slogan. Not propaganda. Not something I learned from television. I LIVED IT. At some point, Americans must put our feet down and say: Enough is enough. America First must mean American lives first. American families first. American workers first. American veterans first. American communities first. American economic security first. Not another politician’s ego. Not another political party’s power. Not another foreign government’s agenda. And not another endless war. It is time to stop hating one another. Matthew 22:37–39 “Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Thoughts on this Marine's point of view?

Im ready. Got a great schedule lined up. I can feel the thunder ☁️ of the drum line warming up 🔥

His point of view is spot on. His most striking observation to me is how the media strives to keep us divided. It’s all about clicks and eyeballs, i.e. money. We fall unwittingly into camps and the politicians take advantage. All national news outlets are guilty. Erosion of our confidence in institutions was for years the Soviets’ primary intelligence goal. We did it to ourselves in 10 years. Listen to that Marine!

I gave up on them too. Was down 4-2 in 8th.

Back on topic: [Hidden Content]

No, they don’t. The DSA is a separate political party. They claim “over 100,000 members”. President Failure and his media minions will lie twelve ways to Sunday in an attempt to make them indistinguishable from the Democratic Party, but it is a lie.

Once upon of time this crazy talk would get you nothing but ejected from both parties......The fact she is saying it and limited response from the Democrats is absolutely insane.

Compulsive liar = Trump. Let me guess, two more weeks. SMH. BDS is alive and well.⌛ 2020 is living rent free in his head and he brings it up no matter the topic. [Hidden Content] 🌮🥱

Abreu sure likes to get you on the edge of your seat. Sousa saved the day on that situation. Astros are much better when Peña is leading off. I don’t understand subbing Allen late for Altuve. Guess that’s why I’m not a manager. lol. All in all, it was a good win.

You know them La Porte people. They're like rabid dogs. 🤣

Wish we had Jordan Jones coming up with them next year.

Week-7/October 9th has a potential district championship game happening in La Porte 😁🙃

Game is in the bottom of the 8th with 1 out. Astros ahead 5-2. I don’t know if there’s a stat for this, but the Astros have to have one of the top, if not THE top 1-2-3 hitters.

Same here. I have been a big proponent of rewarding the district champion with a home game in the first round.

The same people who gave every kid a trophy are the same people who don't think the kids can exercise outside. Just let them stay inside and play Sega football against each other.

OK Dennis Stewart, Hull Daisetta girls coach is returning to Leggett as AD/Head Coach. Stewart was here earlier and did quite well going to playoffs Regional and state. Look forward to another round of good basketball. I think he can remould this team into something viable.

Unbelievable how people will defend this administration over a year and half in that the rising cost of living going on has nothing to do with Trump! No doubt biden’s administration caused massive inflation but Trump has just continued it! Keep over spending by trillions each year and start a war with Iran and this is the result! If this description fits you then that is what they call a sycophant! SMH

Keep it in SA and do away with the divisions.

The problem with Vidor is they let a losing coach force the hire of another losing coach. I believe they went 2-8 last year. His record at Vidor is 13-19. 12 years as a head coach, his overall record is 58-70 for win percentage of 45%. Point is, if nothing changes at Vidor -- then nothing will change!
