    TROJANSWIN got a reaction from CraigS in Shooting range owner refuses Muslims   
    Then everyone should take that into account when they patronize that business. If you don't agree with it then don't shop there.
    A business should have the right to decide who it lets in. They should also be responsible for that choice if they choose to make it. Should nudists be allowed in a restaurant? No shirt, no shoes, no service. There are plenty of places that are banning concealed carry on their property. I choose not to support those places, just like they choose to ban the legal carry of firearms on their property. If they hang a sign up that says "no blacks allowed", the. I will choose not to do business with them also. If they still have enough customers to stay open then so be it, but if they go bankrupt, it is their own fault.
    Howany Muslims were actually wanting to go to this shooting range? I bet it was a very small number, and it is probably more the owner trying to make a political statement or score some brownie points with a few of the other customers. Do they really think it will stop a shooting or keep some radical idiot from killing people if they don't practice at their range? Hopefully they are not that dumb.
    All I am saying is that we should have choices. Sometimes those choices have consequences. A business should be able to run its business the way it wants, and we as consumers should decide if we like the choices they make. If they want to ban white people or christians or women or little green men from outer space, that should be their choice. It doesn't mean the rest of us have to shop there either. Where does political correctness end and when can we finally just be honest with each other and quit trying to fix or change everyone? We can't all be offended all the time. If we all take care of the one person we can control, ourself, nd quit telling everyone else what to do the world would be a better place.

    Good luck with that! Until someone beats them, Navasota is the best 4A team in the region. Don't mean to be rude, but between Huffman and Navasota I think we already know the answer to that question.

    Oh no, refs have been horrible. But I would say horrible both ways. All those flags for nothing and then an obvious hold on shepherd and a really bad late hit by Coldspring tackling the shepherd kid on the track on same play and no flags.

    This post makes absolutely no sense!
    If youre physically better than your opponent then youre almost guaranteed to lose?? What??

    And yes, getting more reps and practice at something usually does make you better at it! Otherwise, why would anyone ever train, practice, or workout?

    Maturity, practice, and experience are all major factors in the success of athletes! Sophomores don't have the game experience that seniors have, and therefore lack the decision making skills and sometimes confidence needed to make split second decisions like should I tuck the ball and run it, or throw it up into coverage.
    The size of the school also matters. From a statistical stand point, a school with 3,000 kids has a better chance of finding 22 great athletes than a school with 300 kids. Does it necessarily mean they will win or have great coaching, no. But it increases the odds exponentially of having better athletes. That is why UIL divides the state into classifications, not because West Brook is closer to El Paso than it is to WOS!

    I don't think defense had been the weak spot of SETexas. I think offense has been what killed most of the playoff hopes. Our defenses match up pretty well, but the other regions offenses tend to outperform ours, causing the defenses to look worse than ours.

    WOS will be fine. They have good coaches and a good program. Every good team has a game that wakes them up and makes them work hard and keep their eyes on the goal. Maybe this was what the team needed to kick it in gear.
    Congratulations to newton on a big win. This may be what kicks them in gear also.

    Navasota and Huntsville! Miserable predistrict schedule. Probably going to be another tough game this week. They will be fine once district starts. Should win district again this year, and look for them to go at least 3 rounds in playoffs.

    TROJANSWIN got a reaction from Team Game in Interesting editorial from BE's Avi Zaleon   
    It is sad that we have come to the point in our country that political correctness is valued over free speech. We have become a society of whiners and cry babies. Certain topics can't even be discussed without someone crying about what was said. It is polite to watch what you say and try not hurt someone else's feelings, but it is almost impossible to not offend someone no matter what you do.
    Either way, like it or not athletes are scrutinized for their behavior on and off the field. If you want to be successful and go to the next level, you have to be careful what you say and do. That is the reality we live in.

    Nope, got their butt handed to them by Huntsville week 1. IMO this team probably needed that for a little attitude adjustment. A good beat down once earn a while during predistrict keeps them grounded and focused on what they need to do to be successful.

    He is making the U.S. into a paradise! He is taking this horrible experiment of a country that rules itself and turning it into a politically correct bastain to the world where everyone, Jewish and Muslim, Black and White, dog and cat can live together in harmony and sing koombyah while we skip around the rainbow holding hands. He is going to make everything free to everybody and ensure that the evil wealthy people pay for all of it! There will be no more police departments so that they cannot act to oppress those who have been treated less than what they believe they are entitled to. We will not have any borders anymore so that anyone still wanting to come here after e is done will be able to without fear of the laws of this country. We will all be able to get free health care to cover all of the diseases that are brought in by the immigrants such as TB, Ebola, or scabies. We will all be skinnier and healthier though, because we will not smoke, drive, or eat any foods that contain seasoning, sweeteners, or fats. The children will be much easier to care for after being malnourished by school lunches, as anemic weak children are not as fast, and will be therefore easier to keep an eye on while we sit at home doing art or relaxing since we no longer need to be employed because the government will provide all things for free. This is my understanding of what he has been striving for over the last 6 years. Of course I didn't write this post, someone else wrote it and gave it to me to use!!

    TROJANSWIN got a reaction from Mr. Buddy Garrity in Abuse of power??   
    If the player was physically threatening the life of another player outside of normal football happenings, then the constable should have arrested the kid for attempted murder. It is in no way his business if the player should be kicked out of a game or penalized yardage. He has no more authority to tell the ref what to do than anyone else in the stands. In this case the constable is probably consider to be trespassing and while carrying a firearm it is a felony. If none of the coaches or other players were worried enough to charge the field, then it probably wasn't as serious as the constable thought! If he was really choking him, both sidelines would have cleared!

    My opinion is they will be just fine, and should go 3 or 4 rounds deep after the realignment.
