You'd do well to remember that, if we're honest.

It's the rallying cry of this board, but as you and I keep trying to tell folks, it's not going to swing anything at the polls.

he didn't. he made a point, and i replied with one. it was not a threat in any way. my post that he quoted was a general statement to everyone, that we need to speak to each other as adults.. he took exception to folks who disagreeing with him being referred to as adults. I was merely stating that as long as he can talk to them without insulting them, then he has nothing to worry about.

when people's version of pointing out the truth is calling someone stupid or a moron, then yup. that comment wasn't directed at you necessarily, but i quoted you since you apparently took exception to me asking folks to talk to each other like adults. I don't recall you doing anything that I've ever thought needed a warning or a ban, and we interact a decent amount on here.

she probably figured y'all would just cut her loose.

fantastic result for the raiders. I've watched a few of their games, and they're just on a different level than anyone in our region. I originally thought Bay City would be the team to end their season, but after watching Lumberton completely dominate Lake Belton, who were the only team able to defeat Bay City all year, I liked their odds. Unfortunately I had an insanely busy weekend and forgot about this game. I would've liked to have watched it, but look forward to seeing the raiders in the state semis against Midlothian Heritage.

well, insult them and get a ban, or disagree with them respectfully and don't. I've removed, warned, and given bans to several folks over the last year, and things have gotten better on here. I don't want to see things devolve back to the way they were before, with people constantly insulting each other and getting into childish pissing matches.

I'm not sure what they can do. The whole area surrounding lamar is impoverished and crime-ridden. Not only do college students have to travel all the way across town to find anything to do in the evenings, they have to travel nearly that far to get to where it's safe to walk to your car after dark. I commuted to lamar for a year, and never had any desire to spend any extra time up there. My buddies thought it would be a good idea to get a house together just off campus, until they were broken into twice in six months, once while they were inside sleeping. and this was nearly 20 years ago, and things have only gotten worse in that area. I taught less than two miles from lamar for the last ten years, and just can't really see anything at all that would appeal to students to choose to attend from out of the area.

EC’s season comes to an end as they lose 3-2 in overtime. Great sportsmanship at the end of the game as several Salado players consoled some of EC’s seniors. Hate that I didn’t get to watch this whole game, looked like a great one from what I saw.

2-2 late second half

EC up 2-0 17 min in

Lumberton still up 2-0 mid second, almost scored again on a corner

West Brook loses in the shootout

Sometimes “facts” are just opinions that people feel really strongly about.

West Brook tied at the end of the 1st OT, L-town up 2-0 at the half

And folks, keep it respectable. We can all agree or disagree and still talk like adults.

Agree. The issue is that folks on both polar ends of the spectrum equate common sense with whatever rabid fanaticism they align to, and believe that anyone who doesn’t feel the same lacks it.

West Brook closing in on the end of the first OT tied 1-1

Lumberton has controlled the game so far, but they also have a 20 mph wind at their back according to the announcers

And then almost again

Lumberton scores again 5 min later

Lumberton goes up 1-0 with 12 min left in the first half. Really nice goal from the top of the box.

West Brook tied 1-1 12 minutes into the 2nd half last I saw

Lumberton scored early on a corner, goal pulled back due to the ball going out of bounds and then coming back in on the kick. I get sick of announcers who don’t understand the game. These guys are really confused how they called offsides on a corner kick.
