Somehow, the bolt action rifle found will morph into a "high powered assault rifle". The role of social media for clicks will never be discussed, nor will the role of corporate profits in our news organizations. Very few will probably question how safe their kids are walking across college campuses all across this country, and First Amendment freedoms of free and open face-to-face discourse will take another hit. The gun control discussion will take front and center, and distract from everything else. Then, not only will we have lost the First, we'll again be in danger of losing the Second. The deer rifle will become an automatic weapon of war--with an oversized clip--within a week.

Welp…I was wrong. It didn’t take until this afternoon for the conversation to turn to gun control. [Hidden Content]

This is nothing compared to some of the other stuff I'm seeing on social media, and in comment sections.

I try to always give varied sources. One is official, one was current events, and the last is after action investigative reporting.

It's being reported they are looking for a young, college-aged student. Plenty of video. They have recovered a bolt action rifle that was tossed. As I said earlier, someone experienced with hunting. Not a professional hit. I expect to hear something about a .223 as more news breaks on the story.

Without taking away from this tragic episode, I was looking for the thread about these shootings by the conservative Christian murderer. I can't seem to find it. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Deer Park isn’t a normal 0-2 team. But, they’re young. They may not be ready to take the Eagles yet. Their QB is a load, and runs the zone read very well. Behind that big OL, he’s pretty damaging. I never judge them or LP based on the Border Battle. That’s an entirely different animal. But, based on how they played Woodz, they’re coming along pretty quick. This one’s a toss up to me. I’d love for BH to win. But, not 100% sold. BH almost gave the Manvel game away.

If this was a hit, they weren’t a very good shot. I’ll wait until the caliber is revealed. I suspect someone with experience hunting.

Seen enough. Sanctioned or not. No desire to see any more. Not interested in the video at all. But, I’m a staunch defender of the 2nd Amendment. MSM is already covering the Denver school shooting more than this event. They’ll spin it quick.

You’re not understanding me I guess. The MSM will have this turned into a gun control story by tomorrow afternoon. Count on it.

Nothing on you. I’m pointing out how the MSM will spin this as a gun problem. If you follow the tag, those are the stories it leads you to… Much easier to fall back on gun regulation than to confront the actual truth.

This article is actually very telling of Disney & ABC. If you read the article to the very bottom, on the bottom left of the article, you’ll notice a tag for related topics. They related this article to gun violence—not political assasination. That is all you need to know about where they want to take the discussion.

At some point in time, the media—ALL MEDIA—is going to have to look themselves in the mirror and decide if they want to be media or political activists.

Senseless. Father of 4 & 1 year old.

Stepp personally has it at 5. I’m waiting to see how Joseph run blitzes, when he decides to stack the box with 8, or if he just stacks from the very beginning. He’s not going to want LP burning all the clock, so I imagine PN-G would take ball if they win the toss. I am anticipating quick outs, and some delays with some of Henry up the gut sprinkled in for the first scripted plays. Try to get Bailey comfortable, and see how much time the PN-G OL is gonna’ be able to give him. LP will be LP. They won’t change much. They figure that as long as they execute, they don’t worry too much about what the opponent is doing. They’re just as happy with 3 four yard plays consistently as they are a sixty yard play. Maybe more so. PN-G will need to rely on Bailey more this year. So, I imagine they want to work on that aspect of their game. They also will get a good feel for their run D. For La Porte, it’s all about repetition & execution on O. Clean play. On D, they need to shore up their tackling and edge contain. Keep getting the pressure to help the secondary. It has actually been better than I expected for a younger group. But, it could always use improvement. The new DC will have another solid opponent to help him figure out his D talent since he didn’t come onboard until June. This game will be good for both before district play.

PN-G Fans (Or others from out of area coming to the game)- Most of the restaurants are west of downtown--and the stadium--since the stadium is only a couple hundred yards from the bayfront. I usually recommend people coming early in the day if they can and make an afternoon & evening of it. That way you avoid the traffic on 10 (even 73 was getting bad before we retired) 146, and the Fred Hartmann Bridge. Come early and spend a few hours at the San Jacinto Monument and help support it. (Remember, La Porte is where Texas won Independence from Mexico.) It, and the Monument Inn listed below are only about 15-20 minutes from the stadium, and make for a great few hour trip. The museum is really fun if you enjoy history as a proud Texan. San Jacinto Battlefield Monument | Discover San Jacinto After that, eat at The Monument Inn. If a southern seafood fan, it's hard to beat. Eat a late lunch there, then you'll be ready for the game with plenty of time to park, etc. You can always get another snack at the game and help us pay for that sucker! lol [Hidden Content] Other places to eat that we recommend besides all the normal chain fast food places: Southern Komfort Kitchen - Rustic Steakhouse & Bar | La Porte, TX | Southern Komfort Kitchen Redesign El Ranchero Mexican Restaurant: (Tommy Taco Dinner is excellent. Get them 'all the way'.) - Mexican Food, Breakfast Tacos, Homemade Tortillas in La Porte, TX King's BBQ (Excellent stuffed Spud) Kings BBQ Chili's Chili's Grill & Bar There's also a Walk-On's Sports Bar & Bistreaux if that's your preference. La Porte Locations | Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux 568 There are other good places that I haven't mentioned. These are just a few. Of course, there's always the normal Whataburger, Popeye's, McD's, Burger King, Wingstop. Denny's, Hartz Chicken, DQ, Kentucky Fired Chicken, Waffle House, Subway, Taco Bell, etc.

Is it going to be on NDN Press?

She got her Chem E in '88.

7 p.m.

Pregame usually starts at 6:30 p.m. They're allowing TexanLive to broadcast some games this year as well. But, the coverage is from the press viewing deck with minimal graphics, etc., and--of course--you have to have a subscription. LPSportsNET is always free, covers every home game, and has all the graphics, replays, etc. They are still learning some of the technical stuff with the new stadium. But, it's getting back to their top-notch quality pretty quick. The students do a great job putting everything together and filming, etc., and the brother broadcasters are good. Yes, they do get excited for LP sometimes. But, that's to be expected as alums at a high school football game. They're good at pointing out the opposing teams' good plays/players as well.

Better 1/2 went to high school with Tim Brown at Woodrow, and she's an Aggie. She's always had a love/hate relationship when this game comes on because she still remembers when he & ND got pummeled in '88, but he scored a TD. They were apparently friends.

PN-G @ LP from the couch on LPSportsNET next to Mama Dawg. I’ll try to update as best I can. Last week had issues with the website. Sorry.

And come out at full strength. Last year, LP came into this game missing 6 defensive starters. It took almost half the year to get them all back. Let’s just make sure everyone comes out of this game healthy. I know a lot of it is just luck. But, we can hope for the best.

DCTF wrapped up their Monday podcast by saying how much they were looking forward to this game to learn a lot more about these two teams.
