PN-G bamatex got a reaction from TxHoops in Silsbees Patrick Hudson flips to Baylor!!
I don't know if Baylor has the premier football program, but I think they have the best run athletic department in the state. They're certainly nothing to ignore.
As far as football is concerned, one thing is for certain: the college football landscape in the state of Texas is a lot more equitable and competitive than it used to be. I think Charlie Strong is going to have a harder time winning and keeping recruits than just about any other coach in UT history, and Kevin Sumlin won't have an easy go of it, either. Baylor and Texas Tech both have more stroke than they've ever had before.

They did not retire Mack because the program was in good shape. That place needed an enema to get rid of some turds. -
PN-G bamatex reacted to fox in Jefferson Co. DA expects BISD indictments next week
http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/news/article/Forensic-audit-could-delve-deep-into-BISD-5646604.php
Crenshaw, who asked the Jefferson County Commissioners Court this week for additional funds to hire a forensic accountant, said he believes fraud in the school district extends back at least to 2007 when BISD began its $388.6 million bond project.

They act like it's such a big deal that the kid could have been spanked with a belt.
I don't think I ever got spanked without a belt. -

7.5 is the number in Vegas.
Sumlin's offense won't be the problem, it all comes down to the defense. -

The actual vegas line is 8.5.
8-4 would be a good first year for Charlie

PN-G bamatex got a reaction from Bigdog in Ruling set, BISD takeover will be next Monday
If you're looking for a direct connection, I have an aunt who taught in BISD and a cousin who currently teaches in BISD. I have two more cousins who are BISD products and several friends and family members who currently live in BISD or went to school at a BISD facility.
But you could take all of that away, and I would still be cheering this on. I would go into further detail, but the points I would make have already been made in this thread. Whether it's the moral gratification of seeing corrupt leadership finally come down that tvc pointed out, or the economic development issues and statewide embarrassment the BISD issue has created that North brought up, or the fact that the first steps towards justice for the BISD students and taxpayers have finally been taken that virtually everyone has brought up at some point, all of those are perfectly legitimate reasons for us to be very, very happy that this takeover is finally occurring. I know I've personally been saying that this would eventually happen for five years now.

I suspect that once TEA has taken things over and has full access to the district's records, there will be many things that come forward dating back to long before Timothy Chargois took over as superintendent. However, even if that's the case, Chargois's hands are just as dirty; willful ignorance is tantamount to complicity in this case.

PN-G bamatex got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Best Barbeque Joints in Texas?
Southern barbecue is a different animal than Texas barbecue. Brisket isn't served at most establishments, just ribs, sausage and chicken. They believe everything's in the sauce, whereas Texans put more emphasis on the rub and many don't like any sauce at all. Plus, their sauce is normally vinegar based, and it leaves that strong vinegar taste.
Some of it's pretty good, but I prefer my native delicacies.

Not to mention that many of the Clinton administration's signature achievements are as much a result of the Newt Gingrich's work as they are Bill Clinton's.

PN-G bamatex got a reaction from thetragichippy in Happy Independence Day
Are you aware that George H. W. Bush, fully cognizant of the bill's opposition in his Houston area congressional district and the threats his biggest political backers had made against him, sacrificed his reelection bid by voting for the 1964 Voting Rights Act, because he preferred to preserve his conscience and lose his election rather than vice versa? -

PN-G bamatex reacted to bullets13 in More BISD mess
That being said, had he messed up on his paperwork, why didn't he fix the mistake by voluntarily returning the money that he "accidentally" overcharged? Why did he fight in court to keep the money that he "didn't steal"? And realistically, what company ever was overcharged millions of dollars by a vendor and kept that vendor, whether it was an accident or not. Hell, I had a friend in high school fired for giving his buddies free snow cones, which was costing the company he worked for tens of dollars... -

Was he messing up on his paperwork when he charged the district for $600k worth of expenses incurred for "bucket truck rentals" when his company in fact owned bucket trucks and he didn't have to rent any?
