CB is all about reaction. Loves shooting into hornets nests. Trolling is what he does the best. Been that way on this site for years.

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.

Y'all?? I don't get in back and forth with CB. I do call him out from time to time when he makes inaccurate posts or falsehoods.

I heard from a very reliable source that Trump is coming after Trumper haters on small social platforms across America starting with SETXSPORTS Political Forum starting Monday. I believe you and CB’s name was mentioned.

Our military leaked information to draw Iranians AWAY from the airman, then attacked them while the rescue team rescued the airman at the correct location, without one UD casualty. That is pretty impression and will go down in the history books😎 I’m not 100% sure, but I believe they called that mission Hook, Line and Sinker. Of true, that is 😂

Astros lead MLB with runs scored (60) Lead in many offensive categories in the AL.

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.

Believe whatever you want to believe. Newton would beat the brakes of Yoakum.

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

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…..

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.

Not me. That’s garbage.

We don't have Kelly on the schedule this time. It's Liberty, Shepherd, Crockett and Kountze and me personally I only see wins against Tarkington, Kountze and Buna (although I agree with you about the Cougars they should have beaten us last season).

“We are the terrorist” Baddog, I believe it’s time to treat him like we decided with PDF and just ignore his post.

Hopefully it's correct this time!

Hope so Hardin was a pretty decent rivalry for us.

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

Baaaaa!!! Baaaaa!!! 🐑

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

Can’t post it as I don’t use X. But, saw a funny post from Jon Lovett. In a surprise twist, the Epstein files released the attorney general. lol

BH will be D1. Nederland and PNG have 2 of the smallest numbers in the district (I honestly think Nederland is the smallest if memory serves me correct) and both ranked #2 and #3 in district standings respectfully.

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.

No need to apologize. I think it's very good info for folks to know what all goes into the costs. I would guess 95% or more of the public doesn't know any of this information. The Houston Ship Channel has issues with the supers also. Even constant dredging can't totally stop the bottom movement.

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

Saw it, and like everyone else, did not catch it. The insert box even had the correct count and changed after the third strike. lol. Good thing it wasn’t game changing.

I’m making all kind of profit off that extra $30 each fill up is costing.

Not sure really but if I had to guess it’d be area growth. I’m sure coaching plays a part as well. Have friends whose boys played very recently and would constantly mention how much work the teams put in. Also helps when the players buy in and care.

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]

Houston has scored 39 runs in 6 games (6.5 per game) Leads all of MLB in runs scored.

Coach was ejected from the game but wasn't escorted off the field by police.

If they pass the save act, and you have to re-register for any reason, you won’t be able to vote without proving citizenship to the voter registrar no later than 30 days before Election Day. Maybe you move. Maybe they change your voting precinct. Maybe you get married and take your husband’s last name with a hyphen. Maybe you’re a college kid who wants to register to vote where he now lives, but his birth certificate is back home in the state where he grew up. Maybe the president says “we all need to re-register”-this being the more likely outcome, but directed only towards political affiliation or location. As in, “Oh, there was cheating in Fulton County, Georgia like no one has ever seen. Not in nice places like the ones where you all live, but in disgusting places like Atlanta, or Phoenix? Those people will definitely be forced to reregister before voting in November.” Fun stuff like that happens when you have a wanna be dictator who’s constantly in conflict with reality. Either way, it’s not a big deal unless you need to register. The thing is this. There was no cheating in 2016. Horrible cheating in 2020. No problems with the election returns in 2024. But now that the Republicans are on the ropes and losses are almost guaranteed this fall, the rs have to do something to keep as many people as they can from voting. Illegals voting in our elections doesn’t happen. It’s just more of Trump peddling lies to the more unfortunately witted amongst us, which they snap up like red trucker hats.

Lost for words. LOL

Pretty sad when Jasper doesn't even have a chance to make the playoffs. Nevertheless, I am excited they made a hire that has had success and will bring some excitement to the program. Also, hope MB stays. I saw some good signs on defense under his watch. Long ways to go to climb back up the ladder. I can tell you that Jasper does not like to lose to a couple of those district opponents at all (and frankly we should never lose to the other 3 imo--though HF has been salty the last few years), here's to hoping for a shocker and us squeaking into the playoffs.

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.

I also would like to see if a player does transfer and the university that he/she was transferring from was paying NIL to said player on a multi year contract, then that player would have to payback the money for breaking contract.
