Which is why the leadership in this country, that promised to unite, has done precisely the opposite.

Seems as though some ppl are being raised to believe that.

That is the direction in which this society is moving.   Good is bad, bad is good, and illegal immigrants now serve on the board of supervisors in a city in California.  We are essentially being "conditioned" to believe that police and other authority figures are bad and should be disrespected.

BS, I've been pondering that very thing as I get to work @ 0630, and me a 100 yrs old (give or take a few years).   What adds to my confusion, as I anticipate retiring toward the end of the year, I wonder if my wife and I will have enough to get by.  Yet here's all these folks that (most) don't seem to be constrained by a work schedule, or money problems.  I can only conclude that somewhere in my life, I made a wrong turn.  
IMO, young person just out of HS, spend about 6 mo's studying how to prosper via Govt giveaways, and you too can drive your new Cadillac to Market Basket and spend an endless supply of food stamps to pay for several baskets of Name Brand foods.  And take your free cell phone and call your investment handler to check on your portfolio.  
Do I sound bitter?   Hope so.  I got dealt a bad hand in my mid 50's but by the grace of God, got another job.  Don't begrudge all those that retired many years earlier than me, but I do begrudge these "well to do" freeloaders.  

Fascinates me how the Media continues to manipulate with their word games.  This quote, "Michael Brown an unarmed teenager shot and killed by a white police officer".  Accurate?   Yes.  Distorts what happened?  Yes.  If you just woke up from a coma and read it, you'd visulize a young, innocent black (has to be, since they said white cop) teen being gunned down by a crazed white cop with swastika tats on his arm.  
M. Brown, teenager, unarmed - also, just committed a crime.  Was on drugs.   And was twice as big as the cop he was assaulting.  Mentally ill?  Doesn't matter.   Sad?  Yes.  Very sad it all came down like that.  Also sad the media still portrays him as just an unarmed teen.   And I'd feel the same  if the cop had been black, and the teen white.  Words do mean things.  Start paying attention to not only what the media says, but how they say it.  It's for each of us to decide what the NYTimes agenda is by saying "unarmed teenager". 

Evadale @ Hemphill, jv starting at 0900, and varsity starting at 10 am.  This is for Friday the 14th.

tragic situation. I just hate how everything turns into a political/seperation agenda.
Remember "United we Stand, Divided we fall"?
 
Division is everywhere now.

I'm relatively new to this Site.  Having to adjust to how things are done.  I see a 21-5A thread.  A Code Red thread.  Now I'm on a thread RG started defending her Raiders, yet it's  dominated by Crosby followers.  Interesting!
I'm thinking about starting one about how Evadale has dominated virtually ALL local 2A sports, with Big Sandy.  
If I do, should I invite the Crosby folks so they'll have another thread to spread their male bovine feces, or do they naturally gravitate to any location?
I remember the good years in Vidor (both of them), so I know how y'all feel.  Being a doormat for years, and now, on top of the world.  Enjoy it.  It's great.  
Even greater, a Sports record like Evadale.  Boys teams, Girls teams, in virtually all Sports, Dist Champs or runner ups.   In the 6 yrs I've lived here, don't know of any sport they haven't went to the playoffs in.  Probably are several, but the point is, they're good in them ALL.  Now that's something to brag about. 

Gladiators won game 1, 11-3 over Austin Wings.  We have 2 tomorrow at Texas Tech, and I know the boys are looking forward to that.

I believe he came to Evadale.  

I believe he came to Evadale.  

I've seen the video of the arrest.  He was refusing to comply with the Police's instructions.  Now I'm so big I have Goodyear on my side, but only 5'10".   He was several inches taller and I would look emaciated next to him, so yes they got rough.  And his family is getting $5.9M?  What in the cornbread h-ll is going on????  They need to arrest the stupid SOB's that authorized that.  

Great group of boys.  Beat of luck, and keep us posted Jason.

For a second year in row the BC Senior Boys have won both District and Sectional Tournaments,and now will be advancing to the State Tourney in Tyler. This years team is made up of players from BC and Orangefield Highschool. Congrats and Good Luck!

I understood the ranking system, especially at the younger ages. You had some that were uber-competitive; but you also had some teams that were more developmental. However, I just always wanted to play the best competition. The funnel narrows the older they get.

Congrats to all the Mustangs...and very proud of KJ.  Way to go!!!

Evadales's quarterback was named offensive MVP for the East Team. 

Congrats to all the kids that made the 4A All Conference Team at The State Tournament. 

Congrats to all the kids ! See a lot of Gladiator kids on that list

More often than not people want to fight the police, then complain when police fight back.  All these cellphones, yet only a handful of incidents have been shown where cops did something wrong.  But the way it's plastered all over the media, it gives the APPEARANCE of a huge problem, the BIGGEST problem according to some.  In reality, policing can be a violent job, and never looks good on video.   That doesn't mean that the vast majority of police aren't doing their job well.  Even in this situation, as poorly as the officer handled himself, had the teen had any respect at all for authority and obeyed one of the several reasonable orders he gave her to leave, rather than screaming profanity at him, all would've been avoided.  Her lack of respect was undoubtedly fueled by the misrepresentation of police in the media. Again, this does not excuse his actions, but as long as the media continues to fuel this fire of hate and disrespect towards officers, there will continue to be situations that escalate because citizens refuse to follow reasonable orders.  And once things start to get out of hand, stuff like this will happen.

Bruce Jenner used to be on a box of Wheaties. Caitlyn is now on a box of Fruity Pebbles.

Congrats to Coach Lane and his crew. Also, heck of a season for the Bulldogs and Coach Hooker. They have a lot of tradition, and made a great run.
