  1. I don't believe very many judges would provide summary judgement on these cases but again we won't know until there is a filing. (if anyone ends up filing.) Also, which courts they get filed in would also matter. I'm not writing a petition for you but you can go ahead and write that summary judgement for that case you don't have a filing for, I'm waiting.
  2. So you mean CNN and Washington Post lawyers agreed with me and then settled court cases that were substantially smaller than originally claimed scopes of the public cases? And you and I have no clue what those second filings actually argued, because they aren't public? Good investigation there buds. You're pre-adjudicating claims, it is very reasonable that's what a court would end up saying but that would likely be after arguments. It also would depend upon the original claims made, and how they were written. If as you claim you've taken law classes, then you know that nothing is this cut and dry, especially given they can have more than one case going at a time. You've made the claim that the case would have no merit... I disagree I think it would have merit but it would likely end in favor of TASO and their refs. I made the claim that they wouldn't go for vicarious liability which you ignored... congrats. Institutional oversight and other claims aren't about liability for action but are separate cases that can be brought against TASO. Also, TASO being a organizational oversight body likely has other requirements within its contract with UIL. They could argue that lack of oversight would breach that contract. TASO not risking it's relationship with the UIL could be forced to settle which is all these suits want in the first place. All of these things are possible and would have to be adjudicated in court, they will not be willed away by very many judges and even if TASO/Judges end up winning the cases they are going to have a hard time proving damages, which again is something that would be adjudicated and we shouldn't prescribe our view to what a judge might rule, as we don't have a filing to even see what the claims are. Both those claims can easily be described as towards the entire situation and claims not individuals. that what the NAACP will argue in court in libel claims are brought. Also, note no organization has more claims of libel brought against them than the NAACP year over year. It's safe to say they don't fear that case. Not a lawyer but have taken a few classes, and one of the first things you learn is don't pre-adjudicate cases. Have a good one WOS.
  3. He's just talking about the potential state ranked opponent in a row. No offense but Nederland isn't state ranked.
  4. Not my claim tbf, apparently it was part of the filing with UIL. (as I heard this from a Lindale friend not an AUSTIN ISD friend.)
  5. Where did you watch it?
  6. Unless reports of impropriety went unheard, or the institution had reason to believe the impropriety would take place. I don't think the claim would be filled as vicarious liability against TASO. I think the claims might be based on institutional negligence or other types of oversight considerations and responsibilities. Also, TASO also provide legal services to their officials unless that's changed so even if true TASO lawyers would be defending the refs. The article states they are speaking on behalf of 60 reports to them. Also, you just described every NAACP lawsuit ever. They provide the lawyers and resources, that's literally what the organization does. Individuals could claim harm and that literally takes one parent. Libel claims rarely go anywhere, especially when members of the crews names have not been put in papers (note that's why they haven't been.) Also, two members of the crew where black. I also don't see anywhere in the printed text that claims the crew was racist, and innuendo is not something than wins court cases. You cannot claim defamation towards things someone didn't say. Note both the NAACP and the newspaper shielded themselves from anyone of those Libel claims. If I write WOS cheated one time at cards in the paper, and people say WOS is a cheater. You can only sue me for saying WOS cheated one time at cards, not other extraneous claims of your cheating that I never said. I can be held accountable for the damage if what I said originally was untrue, but not for what other tack on actors say. You'd have to sue each of them individually. Hints why I said if a case comes it would have to be an interesting one.
  7. Good luck to the Pug's in this one!
  8. Good luck to the Pidgeon's in this one!
  9. Yea but those 50/50 balls were thrown after Branch had ran all over them and they were keeping spies in, and i think 2/3 of them went to Dunn.
  10. Rumor is someone has videos of a payoff. I have friends at Lindale and in Austin ISD. Getting the talk on both sides. I don't pretend to understand legal merit, I'm not a lawyer and I don't think you are either. The argument from the Austin side is the game was relatively evenly called in first half, then a mass change happened, if a video of a payoff exist then TASO might be dealing with a pretty interesting lawsuit. Lots of Ifs, ands and buts. I don't have the answers just giving you info I'm getting from up there.
  11. Is Austin ISD aware of comments? I'm sure they are. Is the coach a party to a potential lawsuit? Not yet.
  12. Where was this game played? What stadium?
  13. Just to be clear Austin ISD doesn't have to let it happen as, the aggrieved party in this instance would be the students and thus it could be rolled out in any of their names. I have no info on if Austin ISD allowed or agreed to the lawsuit tho. It doesn't necessitate that they agreed to it for the NAACP to bring a case.
  14. Branch and Dunn are both still here and if memory serves they were the ones that gave that D trouble. It was 40+ just to be clear.
  15. The kid that blocked it came right up the middle? Was not a no doubt penalty from that video... The video starts with the snap functionally and from the angle e have literally no one can tell where the LOS is. The kid on the far end of the line looks like he might be offsides, but looked like the defense was timing the snap. Anyone saying no doubt from that video is silly.
  16. Austin NAACP is now investigating this? [Hidden Content]
  17. Agreed then we get to beat yalls arses again.
  18. More film I watch from that district the more I think Nederland wins this one. They look average up there, and Texas High looks a bit above average. I think people are getting credit for being good because they played the #3 team in the state, but that team hasn't played very many people.
  19. Let's see how this round shakes out... since I've heard from BH and the triangle all that matters is rounds deep in the playoffs.
  20. 40's and 50's with no rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Bundle up the babes, and get the big boys their long johns the hits are gonna sting in this one.
  21. Calm down BH you have to figure out how to score on a defense that's much better than Crosby or Nederland's. You know those two defenses that made your offense look like quicksand.
  22. So we are faster than TH by enough that it gets coaches comments about it. That's good to know, I think we might have a better chance then I originally assumed. Good luck containing Branch and Dunn
  23. and the 5 picks.
