No problem. I've been misunderstood on here before, so its not the first time and likely not the last time either! lol

Houston Wheatley is open too....hmmm, Cleveland? or Wheatley? Interesting....Very interesting.

No that is NOT what I was implying...Nothing to do with race....I was just questioning WHY? And stating that it SHOULD have been covered. That's all.

NO. That is incorrect. Typical? Typical of WHO? Show me where I said ANYTHING about RACE....Don't worry...I'll wait...

Hmmmm....

IF this was the case, yes it would be in poor taste to treat it the same way.....However I SERIOUSLY doubt that is the case for Charles Breithaupt.

The lengths that some people go to, just to be proven right, when in actuality are wrong as two left feet...

Are you sure about that? I doubt that seriously.....Did they cover it locally when Coach Gamble was inducted? I'm not sure, but, I certainly hope so... Now THIS is just being ridiculous.

Just being positive and hopeful...

Being past the "good ole boy" system.

Media bias? Is that not a REAL issue? And it's not always about racism either...

The EVENT was Saturday, May 21, 2016......They reported the ANNOUNCEMENT, but the actual event was not talked about. That's like airing the NBA Finals preview show in August, then showing NASCAR during the NBA Finals...just doesn't make sense, huh?

I wasn't implying ANYTHING....I SAID that it should have been covered MORE by media outlets....that's what I said, and it is the truth.

Who said that? Guilty conscience, maybe? Smh

I wouldn't care either, and yes that is his personality. I'm just speaking from a respect perspective. I'm just convinced that had it been some others, it would have been acknowledged a bit more. As it SHOULD be. No it didn't, because that's the one that I acknowledged...Pleare read, THEN post, MoFo....

This is the one...it actually happened YESTERDAY though...it should have been a story....

Perhaps I should have said, "shame on SE Texas MEDIA outlets", and not SETXSports. AAW, I KNOW you acknowledged it and have no agenda....I'm really talking about the NEWS outlets.

Well at least that's a reason....not a good one, but it's a viable one.

Since you are so certain, WHAT was my INFERENCE? I don't bite my tongue, so there was no need to make any inferences about the reasons why it wasn't covered. I just posed a question. But you know what they say....you throw a rock at a pack of wolves, the hit one will always holler...my INFERENCE was there is NO GOOD reason for this area's lack of coverage of this major milestone by a local coach.....NONE.

My insinuations? I was ACTUALLY referring to ALL SE TEXAS SPORTS media outlets, not this message board! You don't think it was AT LEAST newsworthy?

Because it wasn't mentioned on here either! The BEAUMONT Enterprise has NEVER been home to Sutherland, yet anytime he has as much as a hangnail, they ALWAYS have a story on it! Besides, KFDM, KBMT, and FOX cover the entire area, right? And Kate Steinle has NOTHING to do with this subject matter. Typical Republican diversion, that my guy BlueDove usually speaks of...smh...Bottom line, it was not covered and it very well SHOULD have been. Don't you think so, stevenash?

Being named to ANY Hall of Fame is definitely a big deal. One of SE Texas OWN, Andre Boutte, was inducted into the TABC Hall of Fame on yesterday and not a SINGLE TELEVISION STATION from around here covered the event...It was mentioned back in February, when it was announced, and AggiesAre we posted it on here as well, but it has since mysteriously disappeared. Now if the inductee's last name was SUTHERLAND, or ROBINSON, or BREITHAUPT, there would have been everything short of a small parade in this area because of it. I would like to think that we are past certain things, but obviously I am a dreamer on that issue...It's a CRYING SHAME, that there was only MENTION of this accomplishment, on just ONE local site, The Port Arthur News. Why is that?

Fantastic! Good deal!

It was just a chance for HJ to circle the wagons to entice student entrance into their new "communications" program....lol

Jordan Hunter to New Mexico....one year ago...lol
