No, i'm quite sure the left orchestrated this. The motivation is they're trying to rally the voting base, and this is going to do it. I'm suggesting the supreme court should not render decisions that will appease a small portion of one party, election year or not. But if you are going to commit political suicide, at least do it AFTER the elections so your party can get some stuff done before everyone gets voted out. Yes. The majority of everyone is pro-choice at this point, minus the religious right. Obviously that's a blanket statement, but it's true.

it was sarcasm.

With all the growth in sour lake I expect them to end up being a small 5A school in the near future and do even worse. but hopefully not.

how many years experience as a head coach does the new WOS coach have? That said, while I don't expect a new head coach to normally start their head coaching career at a historically great program, there's a big difference between starting at a program that's mediocre (or even bad) with room to grow versus starting at one that's mediocre (or even bad) who's about to be in a whole lot tougher district/division, which was the case in my buddy's situation.

And now that AAW is retired we're really in a tough spot. Things are definitely going to be a lot less organized for the foreseeable future, unless we can find someone else in the unique situation of being willing to spend a tremendous amount of time and effort on this site for pretty negligible compensation.

I'm fairly certain he's taking a good-natured shot at the same person I am in my previous comment.

Just going by the resident expert's rubric of success. The rubric is only pass/fail, and you must win a state championship in 7 years or you have failed.

I'm familiar with history. What line should we have stopped at? When black guys were allowed to marry white women? When we couldn't beat up people for being gay anymore? Our history is littered with conservatives badly treating whole groups of people for personal gain, or due to religious beliefs, so don't give me a bunch of "standing up for what is right" nonsense. Both sides of the aisle have some very undesirable traits and unflattering history. It's always funny when the right claims to have the backbone to "stand up straight" and "do what's right" while actively trying to take politics back to a time when the right treated people very badly. Both sides are a bunch of hypocrites.

for the most part, I'm very good with it. The left does a ton of insane stuff these days, and I don't like the direction they're going, but that doesn't change how I feel about many topics. There's a lot of stuff that used to be considered liberal that is now considered reasonable by anyone who isn't an ultra-conservative Christian. The woke ultra-left has taken things too far, but i have zero issue with homosexuals getting married, people being treated fairly despite their race/ethnicity, men not being able to tune up their wives without repercussion when they "get out of line", adults being able to decide who they want to be, and women being able to make decisions in regards to their body, which are all things that weren't happening 50 years ago. Look at how bad things had to get on the left before people were willing to swing their votes back to the right. Immediately pushing legislation that'll take us back to the 70s on social issues is not a winning plan.

okay.

7 years to join the elite, or become a failure for all time

Good friend of mine got messed around with for a local coaching position for next year. Personally I'm glad for him it happened. He's been trying to break through as a head coach for over a decade, but doing it and then going 1-9 or 2-8, and most likely not winning a single district game, isn't really going to do anything for his career.

Cheating has been rampant forever. It's no better or worse than it was 40 years ago.

It's been 50 years. Our country is infinitely more liberal than it was 50 years ago, including moderate and republican voters. This move is likely going to amount to political disaster for the right. right when the republican party is poised to take back power in a big way you're galvanizing the left, and once again pushing those "stupid moderate" voters back to the left.

I definitely think it was leaked to gain an edge in the november elections like you say, but it's not going to help the right. the right is on pace to make huge gains, and pushing this at this time is more likely to derail that to some degree. The left is currently beat down and despondent over how poorly Biden and Harris have done. There's infighting like crazy in the democratic party. And now you've just messed with the one issue that will instantly galvanize the left and bring them all back together. It's dumb. As both sides always do, the right is interpreting disgust and apathy towards the left as an endorsement to push policies far right, which (as normally happens to both sides) will help steady the ship for the left.

This applies to me as well. It was just a word. You weren't supposed to say it to black people, but a lot of white people would use it when black people weren't around, and most of the time there didn't really seem to be any hatred in it. I can vividly remember a story my grandfather told me when I was 7 or 8 years old about a black guy who was working on his car and stood up and hit the back of his head on the side view mirror so hard it cracked the mirror. My grandfather said something like "man that n- had a hard head!" and then went on to talking about something else. He didn't hate that guy, and he wasn't trying to disrespect him either, that was just a word he'd always used to talk about black people. I honestly can't say how old I was when I really figured out the true harm of the word. I know it was a gradual change from not really paying attention to the word, to being a little uncomfortable hearing it, to not wanting to be around people who used the word. What amazes me to this day is how many people are stupid enough to say it. I mean, if it's a white supremacist at a rally, sure, I expect to hear it. But the fact that there are any white people out there that think it's a good idea to say the word, and think that their world isn't going to fall apart if someone finds out about it is baffling to me. You hear things like "no, I used the soft A on the end". How about you use both of your brain cells at the same time and just shut your mouth?

instead of him/he or her/she, maybe it's like ghost/poltergeist???

If I had the qualifications for that job opening I'd apply just so I could sue them later.

That's cool, i learned it from my grandfather.

What a great soundbite.
