Nimmo is a class act.

I said ‘credible mentions.’ 😝

One of the things I’m not proud of is the wokeness of Austin. It’s a disease. Still a Longhorn fan. Hopefully this disease hasn’t infected any other campuses. For my Longhorn’s WS run, I believe we have a good shot at the title if we get past Georgia. That series with Miss St. had to have set some records for scoring and HRs.

It’s over. 35 years

They have to (and certainly will) find a point of appeal where Anthony didn’t receive a fair trial because __________(fill in the blank). The Black women who were struck by the prosecution, faulty jury instructions, jury misconduct, evidence allowed that should have been excluded, etc.

I think it will come down to the economy. Blame may be part of it. There is a saying that all politics are local. That is probably not 100% true, but there is certainly a lot of truth in it. An example is that Nancy Pelosi in some polls has shown to be the most unpopular politician in America, yet the Democrats had her as the Speaker. The country haters her but unlike the president, she is not on the national ballot. She is only from one district in San Francisco and she wins there by landslide. Politics is local. The national news media can talk about good times or bad times but people tend to vote on what is happening in their area. Politics is local. To expand on that, the Democrats are notorious for shooting themselves in the foot with their issues and campaign strategies. They choose hills to die on like taking away firearms, having schools teach and facilitate gender change without parental consent or knowledge, throwing the borders open, etc.Nationally some of that may play well but does it play well in southeast Texas or northwest Missouri? So if the economy is down or there is some other major issue going on and the Democrats give up on their identity politics, they have a good shot at the presidency. Hopefully they will hold to their strategy like the movie Idiocracy. If it seems utterly ridiculous, do it!

6 pitches….2 HRs

You brought up being a lame duck president.

Unless there is a super majority in both houses, everyone is a lame duck. In Obama’s two terms, he lost majority control over Congress for the entire last 6 years of his presidency with a split Congress. For the last 2 years the Republicans held both houses. Were you concerned about the term lame duck for the last 6 years of the Obama administration? OMG… a lame duck!! 🤣🤣🤣

The series win vs cleveland is the 3rd in a row. Friday W 3-2 Saturday L 0-6 Sunday W 10-0 On the road for a mid-week series in kansas city. Season Record: 32-33

That 2017 Silsbee team was crazy deep. A total of 11 players off that team went on to play the next level in either football or basketball. Not bad for a little ole small town 4A team.

This Alvarez guy, is he human?

I think I’ll increase my holdings in P&G (Rolaids) and trade some of my Merck for Pfizer (Xanax). I should see a good bump for the next year or two.

Elizabeth Warren is having a coronary.

Mind blowing! The guy is a innovative genius!

I couldn’t help it. Lol

From what I hear this year will be one of the best groups of athletes Nederland has had. The question is will the coaching staff be able to put it together to make a run.

Everything MAGA complained about is happening now.. If anyone ever wondered if they were in the MAGA cult, or a conservative? They should be clear now, only bots and cult members can try to put a spin on anything with this administration.... all they know is but but but Biden, which says it all

Today, President Trump announced that the U.S. Navy has secretly escorted 200 oil tankers out of the SOH. While this is positive news and may have helped temper rising oil prices somewhat, the impact is not substantial enough to prevent a major energy crisis. These 200 tankers transiting the SOH over the past 100 days represent only about 2% of the normal volume—roughly 10,000 ships every 100 days—prior to the war. Furthermore, the U.S. has to deploy major naval and air assets to keep the SOH open. This is not sustainable and works to Iran’s advantage in the long run: Iran can disrupt commerce through the strait with relatively little effort, while the U.S. must risk two carrier battle groups simply to move 2% of the normal amount of oil and gas. - Joe Kent

Tarkington just bought out their superintendent for $600,000, and with state penalties, it will cost them near $1,000,000 to move on from her. Tarkington's overall rating went from 88 in 2022 to 70 in 2024. Abysmal. Teachers fleeing like crazy. That hire was one of the worst mistake$ Tarkington ever made.

dude loves inflation lol

I gave you evidence of things coming around. Whether you choose to accept them or not is your prerogative.

There’s a fine line between bravery and stupidity. Kinda like the line between genius and insanity.

Different day different team. Lose 10-1 enough said.

I was wrong this is more you than Baddog although he’s not far behind. Lol

After the 4th stab wound, then, and only then can it be considered murder.

Guilty of murder.... according to KHOU11

Well, I did something I don’t usually do, I went to bed on the Astros game and they ended up winning in Ose west coast games come on real late.

Agreed, and that Odom group is strong. Also, that Summit team that beat BU in state, had lost three of there best players from the year before when they won state. I believed BU could make state last year, before Payton or Campbell transferred in. So with the additions and what they still have now, BU could be back to at least Semi finals for state. But only if they in 5A D2 this coming year

Well, since all you seem to want to do is come in here and take your pot shots and me and Reagan, you can have it, Porter. Feel free to reuse “pot shots”. Simple Google search: Representative Thomas Massie voted to block President Trump's 2019 national emergency declaration regarding the southern border. [1, 2] He was one of 13 House Republicans who broke party lines in February 2019 to support the resolution overturning the declaration. Massie later joined 14 Republicans in March 2019 to vote with all Democrats to override President Trump's veto of the measure. He justified his votes by asserting that the Constitution grants the power of the purse exclusively to Congress and that a president cannot bypass this by reallocating funds when Congress refuses to approve their spending requests

I have not been able to watch anything, but I from what I remember: --He brought a knife to a track meet. --He went and sat under another teams tent. --Refused to leave when asked to leave. Is this accurate to what has been going on with the case?

That's a good question. We will have to wait and see.

Off of TexasForever’s initial topic. But, good discussion. Grew up on the farm. THAT was work! lol I also initially went to college on a scholly, became disillusioned, and joined the Navy. I’ve spoken about some of that experience. When I got out, I was hired on at a local petrochemical as a ‘B’ operator partly because of being a vet, was encouraged to go back to school while working, and got an AAS in Engineering Design. From there, I got my Mechanical and went to work contract at multiple firms. Got my PMP, and led projects for years. Got tired of working 80’s for straight pay, went back to school for my BSBM, and was asked to join Sales. I finished up as lead Downstream BD for Mustang/Wood Group, Fluor, Jacobs and a couple smaller outfits before calling it quits to take care of family. Better 1/2 was an Aggie ChemE, and son is a Nuclear Engineer.

I graduated high school wasted a couple of years going to Lamar cause I had NO idea what I wanted to do.... so, I started framing houses and then worked for North Star Steel. Both of those jobs had me back at Lamar pretty quick lol.

I don’t know what the job scene is like today. In the early 70s, there were plenty of jobs available, even for the trade schools. I went undeclared for a couple semesters which was a huge mistake. Unless you know your life’s ambition, paying to go to school is like a merry-go-round. There are lots of kids graduating high school who don’t have a clue what their job interests are. I was one of those kids. Should have stayed with the A/C field. There were like 10 jobs available for every graduate, but economics was a problem and I still wasn’t sure that’s what I wanted. Even back then, I couldn’t believe the ease of the basic subjects in the trade schools. Both math and English were on 4th or 5th grade levels. Math tests would have 1/2 + 1/4 equals……I would actually have people looking over my shoulder for answers. Maybe I should have tried engineering….lol. Long story short……economics was a key factor in my not finishing at Lamar. Nowadays, and probably back then, process operator classes would have been the best route for this area. Actually, back then, you could hire on in the plants straight out of high school. Nepotism ran rampant back then, so who you knew was a great application attachment. I submitted several and got no calls. Today’s youth don’t know what work is. If you want to test a person’s determination in keeping a job, let him hire on pouring concrete. Give him some rubber boots and jump in the middle of a form having to use rakes to move the pour. At the end of the day, you’ll know where he stands. I apologize for the meandering.

Lamar is—comparatively—very affordable, close to industry, and has a good track record from my understanding. I assume most of the US grads stay fairly local. There’s a good network for referrals. Baddog and I are discussing a time decades before your attendance. Were there many international students in the Engineering program when you attended? Curious about it since the immigration system has been tightened up. Incidentally, I always liked hiring ET's. I also liked hiring ex-fitters. Both brought more 'common-sense engineering/design' to the table than many other new engineering grads. Maybe, because I was ex-operations before my degrees, and could see more of the value. I just never ran across many--or any--resumes from Lamar. So, I always presumed they stayed more at the direct client level in the Golden Triangle. Glad to hear there are still others who aren't just going for Liberal Arts degrees. We need them, and all crafts, skills, and trades.

The pitching hasn’t been very good over the last couple months,the team as a whole seems to be getting hotter at the right time.If they sweep Oregon you talk about some momentum! 🤘🤘

Nice 13-2 win and I believe every player except pitchers got at least 1 hit. Alvarez Number 22 now 48 RBIs. Batting .316. Didn't get to watch it but kept up with it on phone. I'm sure Aggie will fill us in. Iami 8 ks in 5 innings

We wonder same about you…lol We have no idea what your bias is. 😂

Nice catch

State with 6 homers. Georgia with 4.

Sure is nice to have a closer again. Paredes with 4 RBIs.

I don’t care if they have the public’s interest at heart. I want to support a person who votes the way I wish. Motivation is almost meaningless. I would rather have a politician vote for my beliefs most of the time, even if for selfish reasons on his part than a person who is truly caring and votes for everything I hate. If a politician votes the way you want, why are you worried about analyzing his motivation or thought process? You note that in your opinion that every single one is corrupted by self interest. Okay, so they are all equal on that point. So you never vote or care who wins because they are all the same?

They had enough talent to win a championship, no question. But you only get there when you develop every player, from the starters to the last man on the bench — mentally, skill‑wise, and with real structure. The days of rolling the ball out and hoping they figure it out are over. They also needed someone younger on staff who could keep the gym open, rebound for guys, and help them get that extra work in. That matters. And honestly, that’s probably part of why some players decided to leave. Still, I wish those kids nothing but success. Never let anyone tell you there’s only one way to reach your goals. Carve your own path and stand on it with confidence.
