  1. this has been a brutal schedule. I'm ready for them to get a few easy teams... Over the last ten series the only teams with a losing record the Rangers have played are the Mariners and the Tigers,, who are both nearing .500 and were playoff teams last year. Now they get the cubs who're tied for the league's best record, after just playing the yankees (also tied for the league's best record) for a second series in 6 days.
  2. this all escalated after a "meetup and planned fight among BISD students". he needs to make smarter decisions or he won't have this scholarship for long, assuming he still has it.
  3. combine the stros' offense with the rangers' pitching and you're looking at a 100-win team.
  4. I got into a little mini debate on another site and did a very quick dive into Madison's roster. They have players who previously played at high schools in Arlington, Carrollton, Rowlett, Waxahachie, DeSoto, and two players who previously played for Dallas Kimball. I found definitive proof of 7 of their 13 players having transferred in after attending high school somewhere else. And that doesn't factor in those who did that I just didn't find proof, or transferred in as freshmen or sophomores before they'd had a chance to make another varsity team. Just one more argument for forcing large metro areas to play up divisions. It's crazy that a little rural community's once in a lifetime basketball season ended against an AAU team playing 3A basketball.
  5. looks like silsbee in a tournament, who was a classification higher at the time.
  6. kenyon came later. but that 1991 team may be one of the most successful teams in the history of Texas basketball when it comes to success AFTER high school. the entire starting 5 from that team earned their doctorate degrees in their respective fields, and the overwhelming majority of the rest of team has been just as successful. What are the odds that a smalltown basketball team could churn out so much success. Dr. Jamey Harrison- former Bridge City Superintendent, current director of the UIL Dr. Shannon Holmes- former Hardin-Jefferson Superintendent, current director of ATPE Dr. Jeff Burke- retired as the Superintendent of Splendora Dr. Joel Nolte- former Asst. Superintendent of Huffman, currently works for the UIL Dr. Gene Isabell- successful orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tim Rowell- pastor, Flatonia Baptist Church Dr. Neil Laminack- Asst. Principal Grand Oaks High School Duane Joubert- over 600 wins as a head basketball coach, multiple state championships Clay Davis- over 300 wins as a head basketball coach, current asst. principal and Splendora MS David Underwood- business owner with over 100 employees Coach Charles Breithrupt- Texas High School Basketball Hall of Fame, Texas High School Coaches Hall of Honor, retired Director of the UIL Assistant Coach Todd Sutherland- closing in on 1000 career victories, multiple state titles
  7. we don't talk about them much on here, but that 1991 HJ team was STACKED. 37-1 on the year.
  8. very difficult start to the season. the rangers have played the 3rd toughest schedule so far. I'm thrilled that they're where the are right now.
  9. Usually a pretty good squad over there, he should have some talent to coach. Jasper may have done him a favor last year.
  10. in the last 50 years Tarkington has had 19 coaches and 3 winning seasons. it's not the coaches, whether hired once or three times.
  11. I don't see him staying out of it, either. I hope he does, though. A Trump endorsement isn't worth near what it was a year or two ago, and may very well be worth even less in another few years.
  12. In some cases you can say the coaches were ignorant. This one feels criminal. 300-400 push-ups per athletic period for three days straight without breaks or water. 20 of the 80 kids subjected to this hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis. Some folks will still defend it.
  13. San Angelo charter school sued over school discipline that forced 20 student hospitalizations
  14. I honestly didn't have you in mind when I made the original post. Not sure what you can do about him posting it. He's just alienating more and more supporters. I've never seen a politician try so hard to make people hate them. I don't believe for a second he didn't mean for it to come across the way it did, though. You're right, he's the King of Narcissism. If he was the King of Stupid I might believe that he didn't understand the context of the picture.
  15. Any Christian who excuses this nonsense is worshipping the wrong deity.
  16. Massive sweep. 3 game swing over both the mariners and the stros, who somehow got swept by the Rockies. The hitting has been bad for us, but the pitching has been fantastic. If you’d told me the rangers would only manage 8 runs over 3 games against the M’s, I would’ve figured us for the team that got swept. But I’ll dang sure take it.
  17. I mean, I’m not hung up on them, but I actively root against them as a rangers fan from the same division. I don’t like the Ms, As, or Halos either
  18. 4-1 and guaranteed to start the season with two road series wins. I'll take it. Hopefully Evo can get it together today and take them to 5-1
  19. it's no secret I root against the astros, but it sure was nice to see him come out and do that after all he's gone through.
  20. I was pretty impressed with him taking over a 3-23 D2 team and leading them to a 32-3 season the year he took over.
  21. could be a great hire.
  22. [Hidden Content] kind of a wild one
  23. [Hidden Content]
  24. Late reading this, but I’m sorry to hear about your loss. I can’t even imagine.
  25. I don’t know what that line is for me. I don’t really support him, per sé. I didn’t like him before, I absolutely can’t stand him now, and he’s doing a really good job of setting the Dems up for retaking power, which is terrifying. That said, the far left (which is somehow just becoming “the left” and driving party policy) is so indefensibly insane that I’d still take Trump over the alternative. I was fairly liberal in my early 20s. By the time I hit 30 I was what I considered a “radical moderate”, meaning I had strong beliefs that aligned with both sides. For the past decade I’ve considered myself a libertarian, but with no realistic traction in that party I vote right. The ONLY shot the right has of keeping control after the outrage Trump has continually sparked is the fact that the left has become absolutely goofy, meaning moderates and swing voters can’t just write off the right because of Trump’s behavior (and if we’re honest, shaky second term). If the Dems would get rid of all the kooks and took a hard look at Fetterman and modeled themselves after him they’d win EVERY branch in a landslide and might stay in power for the next 50 years.
