Oye Sarge...Que es un Tee-Tan?  I know Te-tona, but this one...is that just the male version of a Te-tona?

Hijola!  Todos ustedes estan bien cabrones! Translation:  Dang, Dudes!

" Can you feel the love tonight..."...BANG!  BANG!...okay, who shot the dang meerkat?! Who knows how this plays out...I think both teams go into it, playing 112%, like Reggie would have wanted it.  Good luck to both teams, play hard, leave it all on the field.  At the end, shake hands, say good game, and let the adults continue to be the idiots they always have been.

Also want to throw some props to Central's #23...put a great tackle on Hunter, and then helped Hunter back up...did his job, but a good sportsman while doing it...he was class...

Props, major props to Central.  As far as the teams go, it was a great game.  The referees?  They sucked, but they sucked on both sides of the ball, so it's a non issue. I don't know the names of the Central players, 'cause I'm too cheap to buy a program, but #15?  Beast...all day long, beast!  Delayed draws, the hole appears, he's off to the races.  It took our D time to adjust to him, and it looked close in the 3rd and 4th after spotting 14 points in the first quarter.  But definitely props to the Jags.   For the Bears...shake it off...get ready for next week.  Vidor has a good squad, who won't let you rest on your past record.  Be ready to prove you are a team worthy of going to the post season.  You have a talented team, one of the best in years.   GO BEARS!

[/quote] Okay, okay...Central will lose by a touchdown...there, is that better... ;D

A team can have 400-500 yards a game, but still lose.  Why?  Because your defense stands up in situations where it needs to do so.  The stat you provide is meaningless unless all those yards traslate into points.  I can drive 90 yards, and end up with a field goal.  If you drive 80 yards and score a TD, I won the tale of the stats...but YOU won the game.  That is what happened yesterday. 

[quote name="1696dogs" post="863884" timestamp="1286032237"] Huh! No commits from Smitty after the Nederland victory?!?! [/quote] He won't...he's too educated...knows too much...his theories that Nederland's defense couldn't win games and that the world was flat both fell on their face

Aaahhhh...I get it now.  Sounded like he was comparing the location of the coaches of LCM and Central.  But...he's still confused on the score. ;D  I still say 3 point game by the Bears in a high scoring game.  I see these 2 teams as scoring a berth in the post season if they maintain their level of play.

[quote name="SFA85" post="863841" timestamp="1286029125"] Better coaching on 11th street than on Fannett Road.  Central by 3 TD's.... [/quote] Are we just a LITTLE bit confused?  Fannett Road?  What does that have to do with LCM?  Seeing as you are confused about location, I will consider your "prediction" as confused as your internal compass...

It's gonna be a tough hard fought game.  No cake walk for either team.  45-42 Bears. That joke was funny, man! And NDN Warrior...don't you have a team that is 0-2 that you should worry about?  I guess PN-G stadium will now be "Squaw Valley", at least for the likes of you...

[quote name="smitty" post="862617" timestamp="1285957426"] Sad to say but here goes:   PN-G  35    Nederland  14 [/quote] From the semi-educated Bear backer... Guess your "educated" self got "schooled" by the team you supposedly pay taxes to.  How does that crow taste?  Just like chicken?

[quote name="purpleeagle" post="862481" timestamp="1285948493"] The coach knew the rules. He could have went to the district committee for a waiver. This committee is made up of people from  the district schools. It is not wrong to help the kid, but it is wrong to break the rules. He could have helped the kid by getting a waiver when he took him in and not have BROKEN THE RULES. If the committee would have turned the waiver down then the coach could still have taken the kid in and the kid not played football. Seems to me like there is more to it than just helping the kid. [/quote] Come on eagle, admit that you're wrong here.  "Okay kid, you probably have to sleep on the street a couple of nights, but hey, I gotta paly fair".  Yeah, you've never been on the verge of no home, wondering where you had to go.  He did report it, and the whole point of the "rule" is to prevent big dollar districts from taking kids away from poorer districts.  These "rules" you speak about are circumvented all the time.  Instead of a "house" or a "place to live", it's a job from a booster.  How do you protect against that?  You don't.  You try your best, but you can't prove it.  In this case, I don't see anything more going on that a coach following school policy, as outlied in the story...they are REQUIRED to deal with the problem directly, instead of passing it off.  Additionally, how long has the "rules committee" taken to decide the coach's and the school's fate?  DO you honestly think they would have taken any less time if the coach had done it your way.  Good rule, but the rule did not apply in this instance, as the kid was already a student of that district and that school, and not one coming in.

Some may wonder as one of the posters above did, if he took the kid in based on "talent".  How about, it wouldn't have mattered, if the kid was already part of his program?  In addition, the school, and obviously the coach, "self-reported" meaning that they threw themselves under the bus.  If this was a case that truly violated the intent and the letter of the rule as written, the coach especially, wouldn't have cooperated, or come up with an excuse.  Instead, he seems to have chosen to put his neck on the line to protect the privacy of the student, and spare him further embarrassment. Finally, the school has a "deal with it directly" approach to the problem of homelessness.  The coach did just that.  But that policy can be dangerous in today's accusatory, litiginous society.  What if a teacher takes in a student in the same straits as the student?  And then, what if, at the prompting of relatives of the student, the kid accuses the teacher of improper behavior?  Hard times we live in...

I just do not like the good people giving their time being categorized the same as the idiots on the film. Perhaps I read more into the statement, I don't know. [/quote] That might be the case..I think we all differentiate between good people giving their time and helping kids by coaching and volunteering, and idiots that are only out there to be fools...

[quote name="DC9" post="860911" timestamp="1285790828"] There is no excuse for what took place on that film. I will never try to defend anyone whoe engages in that type of conduct, but I am tired of hearing about daddy ball and wannabe coaches. There are thousands of dads and moms who give up countless hours of their time each year to not only teach the fundamentals of sports but to build character, teach respect, teamwork, discipline, etc. To be stereotyped as a wannabe coach just because I volunteer for youth organizations disgusts me. Just because you get a bachelors degree in education doesn't make you a coach either.

that joke was doomed from the outset... Why? Because everyone knows... The Indians wouldn't be going to the casino on a bus... THEY OWN THE CASINO!

So both teams barred from post season play because GROWN MEN can't handle a disagreement!  Way to punish the kids for the adult stupidity.  Wait...did I say adult?  Naw, these punks weren't adults...they were little children in man bodies.  This is what comes from a generation of Americans that are all about themselves instead of anyone else, and sad to say, it's my generation, the baby boomers.  Don't get me wrong, I love when a person volunteers to help kids, but some of these folks are doing it for themselves instead of the kids.  You had a kid, A KID out there seperating two grown "men" acting like elephants to see whose trunk was bigger!  Who was the mature adult out there?  The KID! BONCHE DE PENDEJOS ESTUPIDOS!

Inappropriate?  No... Unimportant?  Yes... It is a battle between two co-workers that all the comments in the world will not solve.  In other words, we don't have a dog in this hunt...However, thank you for providing a stomping ground where we could let our overactive imaginations run amok.  I like that word, "amok".

Could it be, perhaps, a misunderstanding of what is happening?  Can a young man work his tail off on JV, and warrant a move up to varsity, thereby playing Thursday, and then again Friday? Honestly, I am not as into the UIL rules on this, so my view is that of a serious layman.

[quote name="MoFo" post="859965" timestamp="1285689985"] If I can not laugh at myself I will surly not laugh at you....LOL :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D [/quote] Yeah, you seem mighty "surly"... ;D

conversation between one of the co-workers involved and another guy... Dude 1:  "I showed him, he he he" Dude 2: "What did you do?" Dude 1:  "I put my chile in his coffee" Dude 2:  "All that's going to do id make it taste spicy, what was it, pico de gallo, salsa, habanero?" Dude 1:  "Naw, you misunderstood me, i put my CHILE is his coffee..." Please send all inquiries to Sgt Rey for translation and additional meaning...orale!

In other words, there are some of us that know what it is like to have a sense of humor about most things... ;D
