Final 9-3 Lamar. Lamar leads series 1-0. That's 5 post season wins. 5 more than someone expected.

I used to say that but apprenticeships and technical certifications or trade schools show that you can finish something. The military is the same. Do people really need English composition, humanities and intro to science classes for most jobs? I would venture to guess that in a majority of jobs, a person who has done 4 years in the military and was honorably discharged (and probably has a learned skill) should rank higher than a person who has English Lit and consumer math with a sheepskin. Looking at google out of curiosity, up to 41% of college grads are not employed in a job that deals with their degree and 52% at least initially take jobs that do not require a degree. I didn’t dig into how many eventually gained employment in jobs that actually require a degree Obviously some jobs should require a certain level of education such as medical doctors, lawyers, school teachers, certified accountants, HR people, perhaps banking, etc. Other than those, I think the need for college is way overblown.

Congrats to the Timberwolves who posted a 4-0 record at the Ridge Point SQT and advanced to state with a 25-19 win over LaPorte

Jim Hicks and RCS Sports reported today that Coach Wise is expected to step aside as boys head coach. It is also expected that assistant coach Eddie Barlow will be the next HC at Yates HS pending approval. Coach Wise is currently the 2nd winningest coach in the Houston Area with 1009 career wins.

Sure they could have higher expectations… nothing wrong with that considering the tradition of the program… but that wasn’t the case with a lot of the fans they were out for blood and were terrible towards Coach Hickman… A lot of it was uncalled for.

I don’t think anyone on here has been anything less than understanding and appreciative. Trump’s comments and phrasing in the video posted were somewhat flippant. Deaths are not to be used in a political argument in the manner he did. Trump should have thought about all these things before he started. War is always a failure of men to find a better way. Even though—sometimes—it can’t be avoided. If it can’t be avoided, it must be engaged in quickly and decisively. It can’t be prolonged. The only result of delay is more damage to all.

Just looked it up. They are actually #1 in that category of combined no-hitters. No other team has more than 2. What an odd stat. 4 in the last 8 years. They now have 18 total no-hitters which is tied for 3rd in all of baseball. Amazing when you consider how young the franchise is ('62). They surpassed the Reds tonight who have been in existence since 1882 ("modern version"). Tied with Red Sox, Cubs, and Giants as of tonight. The Mets, same season of inauguration as the Astros have 2 in team history. Edit here as I found one more stat...since 2022 the Astros have more no-hitters than all other teams COMBINED. Just an amazing statistical anomaly.

Imai, Okert and Santa combine for the no no. Imai: 6IP, 0 H, 2 K, 4 BB Okert: 1IP, 0 H, k, BB Santa: 2IP, 0 H, K

If you want to see what's really happening with the kinetic actions, among other news, the site I posted earlier has a lot of info for details. It shows (graphically as well with zoomable detail maps) each specific instance of strike, attempted strike, etc. all from verified intel, satellite, Centcom, etc. Kind of nerdy. But, also very revealing. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]strike/37

The trade was strictly about the money. No question. I only made the comparison (actually, got the comparison off an X post) to show what the Astros were getting for $4.7 Mil less. Houston couldn't keep Dubon. I believe they got what they were expecting in return. A decent player off the bench.

What would make you happy? You are starting to remind me of my ex-wife🤦🏻‍♂️

Just one.

Robinson wins 8-5 Great run by HF. I don’t think anyone expected them to still be playing.

Gall bladder surgery has become pretty routine, but I pray she recovers quickly.

Sure am glad no one on here can be accused of running their mouth. That would be insane. Trump bows to no one except Christ. Where do you find that garbage? Never mind. I don’t scan Arab sites.

Here we go. Didn’t take long.

I say it was over 2k. Bet there was some "unaccounted for" in attendance tonight.

That’s against people in his own party. Only Trump would crow about cannibalizing his own.

One of the reasons we need them..... I agree we need to go in with boots on the ground in Iran.....but it needs to be Israel's boots. We can provide equipment, technology and air support. That should of been the deal at the beginning.....

Brookeland vs Moulton Thursday at New Caney High School 6:00

Incidentally, I fall in the 55% of veterans who believe the war has to be seen through at this point in this latest Fox poll. But, it needs to be a full force effort. None of this half arse crap. Get it done with overwhelming force. Quickly. Justify it better to the American people. Even though I may not be happy about it.

He’s correct. [Hidden Content]

Aledo takes out Mellisa in a 1 game playoff 5-4. BH vs Aledo for State

The almost doubling of fuel prices is not Trump’s fault? Uh….Yes it is! Own it and take your medicine.

If you’re going by margins, Massie received 99.6% of the vote in 2024, and was so solid he ran unopposed except for a write in. So, I’d say the people he represented liked him better—or as well as Trump—at the last election. This race was shaped by outside influence. All you have to do is look at the funding. Even Massie got less than 20% campaign funding from the district. Gallrein was less than 10%. Gallrein received more funding from AIPAC aligned sources than from ‘normal’ American PACs & donors. Whether you like Massie, or not—and I don’t know all of his votes at this point—you have to admit this seat was bought and paid for by Israel. Even you have to admit that. They have no intention of losing their over $6 Billion/year of aid. Read their X post. They even admit it, and appear proud of it. They happily list every candidate they took out that wasn’t supportive of Israel as much as they liked. I’m not an anti Israel person. But, when a group specifically exists to lobby for a foreign government, they should have to follow FARA, and register as a foreign agent. No different than the crackdowns that have been happening against China, or anyone else. Now, the Admin is cracking down on Mexican Consulates for activities similar to AIPAC. [Hidden Content] Would you be okay with LULAC putting in so much funding, false info & lies that Talarico was elected? I’ll answer for you. Of course not. I’m like baddog, Massie, Marjorie T Green & others in that I don’t think a group that exists primarily to lobby for a foreign power should be able to contribute to our elections. I don’t see how anyone could think that would be a good thing.

AIPAC’s X post about Massie and others they helped defeat in current elections is very interesting and informative. Massie had also just introduced legislation that would have required groups like AIPAC to register as foreign agents. No wonder they were upset.

0.39% of the Kentucky population is Jewish, isn’t that something. Lol House seat was bought in Kentucky last night by foreign actors. Isn’t that awesome! Smh

Told y’all when the Iran conflict started, you’d have to have a regime change. There’s no deal that’s worth the paper it’s written on to be made with those in charge in Iran right now. I warned about boots on the ground. I was told verbatim “Trump don’t play” when I said it would be longer than was stated, as these things evolve, and have a mind of their own. I stated the ceasefire was a bad idea. If going in, go all in. Don’t tie our military’s hands behind their backs. Politicians lose the U.S. conflicts—not the military. We’ve lost the momentum, and haven’t gained enough to offset. There’s a reason you get public support for a conflict. Trump didn’t, and here we are… If Trump was going to listen to someone, he should’ve listened to Keane instead of whatever political advisor is telling him about the polls. This ‘another 2-3 days’ crap is getting old. Either you know what, or get off the pot. The other Gulf States hearing he was going back in, and asking him to delay? What kind of crap is that? How do they supposedly know what’s being discussed in the secure situation room? It’s either another load of BS, or we have a serious problem. Sun Tzu: There is no country that has ever benefited from prolonged war. (All of our military leadership used to have to read Sun Tzu.) As Larry the Cable Guy says, “Get Er Done!”

Exactly. Here's my go to when I want to change it up. Big Daddy's Beans (Yes, they call me "Big Daddy") Pound of pinto beans, anasazi beans (learned about these from @tvc184) or red beans. Pound of ground beef Pound of jalapeno sausage (I use my deer jalapeno cheese sausage) Large onion - yellow or white Can of rotel Pinto bean seasoning, tony's or some other season salt Garlic powder Black pepper 3 bay leaves Cook it like you cook beans normally - on the stove, instant pot, crock pot etc. Serve with some rice, cornbread and real butter. I have several bean variations, but this one is real good with the jalapeno sausage...

He was on the team but barely played.

Spin it how you want, but apparently his constituents though differently by a large margin. He didn't lose by a little, he got his butt kicked by almost 10 points....

Yes indeed -- alive and well!

Trump is not a conservative, neither is the GOP Party.

Because there is nothing to talk about...

I thought he looked good at Barbers Hill and was the best fit for him.

This is an ignorant take. Do you think Barrier would've had the individual success he has had if he had been playing in Chad Taylors offense? On the flip side, do you think Hardin would've had the team success they had this past year had they stayed in Barrier's offense? On another note, Woodville is a dumpster fire. Two years removed from a state championship appearance, and now staring down the barrel of low level mediocrity for the foreseeable future, all because daddies can't keep their mouth shut. Great job guys!

Easy there. KU won the Big 7 title in 1949. That wasn't many years ago. Only 77 years. They have been fairly weak over the years with this being only the 7th NCAA tourney in school history. Will be rooting for Ruiz and the Hogs.

But Trump enjoys complete MAGA support when posting clips of the Obamas as apes, no doubt. He’s up all night posting hateful, violent, and racist images on Truth Social, but that doesn’t bother his drones . Most of them show up crying about “hateful rhetoric” by the Dems while ignoring the absolute trash that the supposed leader of the free world posts all night long. The only mental illness is a subject whose loyalty to a pig leaves them out of touch with reality.

What a tremendous pitching performance in both games. Congratulations to Lamar and so nice to see them go to a regional after such a long time

Suckyness is your opinion. I don’t see it that way.

Yep. They're in my regular "bean" rotation ever since you told me about them several years ago. I love 'em! I usually can only find them locally at HEB though.

Woodville shouldn't run out of talent for the next 5 years at least. Where you coaching at lately? Dont hear you talking about Coldspring much anymore

Amen!
