I've heard about a few of these incidents, and for the most part they sounded unbelievable, like something that had been made up to justify the hatred of trump and trump voters. This incident in particular rubbed the wrong way and sounded false. I'm glad to know that they figured out the truth, and also that she's been charged for her lies.

not at all. but when voting for a NATIONAL office, a national vote is in order, not a vote that is determined in any way by the amount of people in a state. Just like when we vote for governor... should we start delegating votes based on the size of counties? Should the counties around Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso be enough to elect democratic governors every year? Hardin county gets two votes, but Dallas County gets 40. And regardless of the breakdown of the voters in each county, all votes go to the winner of the county. It doesn't make any more sense here than it does nationally.

Whoa!

this is truly unfair. it dilutes the individual voter's vote even further. 80,000 conservatives in Montana should not be able to cancel out 4,000,000 libs in California (I made those numbers up, but you get the point), just as the reverse that the district of Columbia should not cancel out the millions of conservatives in texas

There's no reason those several states should be MORE relevant in today's system than the big four. That being said, if you make every individual vote count to the total, all states become irrelevant, as they should in the process of electing a president. The president should be picked by all voting citizens of the country, rather than the handful of swing states.

you and I don't always agree, but you nailed this one.

I'm not a fan of the electoral college. I'd prefer for everyone's vote to count and whichever candidate gets the most votes to win the election. Considering that less than 10 states truly decide the election, that means that in over 40 states an individual pretty much knows their vote counts for nothing. That being said, in this system, the overall vote count for the election is irrelevant. Hillary may have won the popular vote, but there's no way to factor how many people didn't vote (on either side) because they lived somewhere like texas or California where the nominee was chosen before early voting had finished. Trump probably gets an extra half-million votes in Texas, and Hillary and extra half-million in California if the voters in those states could cast votes that actually counted for an overall tally.

must be how Obama got that second term. there's never been a president who worked so hard to divide the country.

posted at the same time... I guess we're in agreement

I don't think 3rd round is out of the question, although lorena is a better team than probably 7 of y'alls 8 wins. If you get to the 3rd then Giddings is going to be the favorite. I do see how you're getting your yards totals, though.

I didn't see an animal, but I've been reduced to hunting my uncle's 40 acres in Nome this year. there are a few deer out there, but it's going to take a lot of time in the stand and a little luck for me to take an animal this year. I have been killing hogs in my backyard pretty regularly out in Fannett, but I rarely see deer there.

yall got an easy matchup in the 1st round, but Lorena is probably a better team than any win on Liberty's schedule, so I wouldn't start looking that far ahead just yet. and if you beat Lorena, you'll likely get Giddings, not HJ in the 3rd round, which should be all she wrote for the panthers.

you think they've gone 1-2 the last 3 games because he's out, or because they had to play their 2nd and 3rd games of the season against teams with winning records the last two weeks. I have a theory...

how far are you thinking liberty is going to go? this seems a bit optimistic to me, unless you're predicting 400 yds against Madisonville.

Only 3 of us picked them, but one of the three is from anahuac, so he doesn't count

Nailed this pickem

Final?

My thoughts as well

when you have a big guy in pads and a helmet come and grab you it kinda hurts, even if he's just playing around. lots of hard edges digging into you. It was always going to be a flag.

PAC 12 is garbage this year. a 1-loss team from there isn't getting in any more than a 1-loss team from the Big 12 will.

I don't really care one way or another. It's kind of a weird issue at this point. Yes, the Ags have played a tougher schedule, but it hasn't been THAT much tougher with the exception of Bama. Who beat them by 3 scores. At what point do you give credit for the tougher schedule and at what point do you take away for losing? I will say this, the Ags schedule is about to get a lot tougher, and if they win out I have no problem with them being ranked over Washington.

1. Beaumont West Brook 2. Montgomery 3. Baytown Sterling 4. New Caney 5. Barbers Hill 6. Port Neches-Groves 7. Port Arthur Memorial 8. Bridge City 9. Navasota 10. Tarkington 11. Bellville 12. Hardin-Jefferson 13. Coldspring-Oakhurst 14. Kirbyville 15. Anahuac 16. Hitchcock 17. Garrison 18. Groveton 19. Evadale 20. Iola 21. Beaumont Central 22. Livingston 23. Silsbee 24. Jasper 25. West Orange-Stark

What does big Sandy have coming back this year? I know they lost some great players, but I still expected them to be favorites to win their district... They beat Grapeland by 32 last year in the playoffs

Dak was shaky as heck tonight. He tried to throw the game away a couple of times. The "game management" everyone has been praising him for wasn't there. That throw he made while wrapped up on that game tying drive should've been picked, and the game would've been over. That being said, I love that he bounced back and they won the game. Hopefully he was able to learn his lesson without having to lose to do it. The star of this game was the Dallas D. They didn't start out great, but they won that game for us in the 4th quarter

I've been impressed with dak, but he looks like hot garbage tonight. If this is what he's going to give us in pressure games then he absolutely should be back on the bench behind romo. Terrible pick in the end zone, and an even worse pass that would've been picked if Terrence Williams didn't do the right thing for once and tackle the guy about to catch it
