  1. Edit: Never mind, question answered reading further through the thread.
  2. I totally agree. But before this year, last year's team was probably the best silsbee team ever, and they didn't play a great game in the finals and a team that IMO they were better than beat them. The same could happen this year. But I'm rooting like crazy for them, and hope to see them bring a title back to setx.
  3. And if not that, then the Gabriel "Butch" Pruitt Memorial stadium works for me.
  4. cash me ousside. how bout dat?!?!?!
  5. And HJ is better than both of them. It is what it is.
  6. Silsbee will face a couple of tests. Yates and whoever comes out of dallas. Both of those teams are capable of beating them... a favorite against them? No. but certainly capable. Silsbee can't overlook anyone. They're favorites against anyone in the state, but in years past, when in the same situation, they've lost to teams that weren't anywhere near as good as yates or the dallas schools are this year. Granted, Silsbee is better, too, but they have to stay grounded and not let the hype go to their head.
  7. I've seen them trained to do that, but that's a giant.
  8. I know some of the Beaumont middle schools have it. Odom academy for sure, but I think there are others.
  9. I'm fairly confident 5/7, or at least 4/7 of the board new what he was up to. That being said, none of them are crazy enough to admit it.
  10. I'm not sure how you can read the summary of the audit and come away with any opinion other than he's guilty. They may not be able to prove it, at least to the point of criminal prosecution, but he ripped off the district and the community, abused his power, and cheated those who he was hired to represent and protect, namely the African American community. It amazes me that people still jump to defend him.
  11. Welp, looks like you were way off. Not only no anti-trump comments, but she started off her performance by singing "God Bless America"
  12. Tommy is just getting more minutes because he's the coach's son...
  13. Me either, but I know several older folks who do ( I can think of four off the top of my head). they didn't grow up with a cell phone attached to their ear and aren't as comfortable using them while driving. that might be even more true at night in Houston traffic. that being said, if for whatever reason the police were suspicious, they'd have little trouble verifying through phone records and a conversation with whoever called him to see if the story checked out.
  14. Not saying much, but the first step for Texas is rising back to the top of the big 12. This is a decent step in that direction. Start winning games again and the better talent will come
  15. I don't think she's going to have a lot of time to talk. Those shows move along pretty quickly. I wouldn't be surprised if she wore some sort of clothing with a prominent liberal message, like the BLM shirts worn by some athletes, but I don't know that she'll be able to really talk that much about trump personally.
  16. This is entirely accurate if you change 6A to 5A. If Silsbee was in 6A, they'd be a top-25 team, and while they'd be very competitive, they would have to pull multiple upsets to make it to a state championship. Forgive me for not going through their entire schedule to make sure which out of town big city schools are 6A and which are 5A, but it appears Silsbee is a game or two above .500 this year against 6A. They've lost 5 games this season to 6A schools, including to 16-12 Hightower, 20-9 Taylor, and 18-13 College park, as well as two of the best 6A schools in the state. That being said, none of those is a bad loss, but those three losses are more than enough to show me that Silsbee wouldn't be a favorite of any kind to win a title in 6A. Great squad, would certainly be competitive, but there's just too much depth and that size for them to go all the way.
  17. That is an insane score line
  18. there are multiple issues here with multiple solutions, and I can't say I know which is right. I was merely making a point.
  19. faith doesn't have anything to do with it. I, along with anyone who has any common sense at all, can see what happens to the majority of unwanted babies born into bad situations to poor, single mothers. yes, there are certainly exceptions, but those are exceptions, not the rule. I work with this segment of the population. I see it every day. If a single 17-year-old has a kid, that kid is going straight onto Medicaid, and will be there for 18 years. The mother will also likely get on Medicaid, as there's a good chance she won't finish high school, and if she does, it's very unlikely she'll go to college . Now the taxpayers are footing the bill for two people on Medicaid, for WIC, for the hospital bill from having the kid, low-income housing, etc for TWO DECADES. And if we're REALLY lucky, the kid won't grow up and do the same thing. And regardless of what the far right says, the babies that they're marching to save turn into the kids that they gripe about supporting through tax dollars.
  20. no, I'm 100% sure. no doubt there would've been plenty of them who would've made something of themselves, but many, many more, and their moms as well, would've gone straight onto the handout train and stayed there.
  21. the majority of them would've ended up on handouts and costing us tax money, and you'd be griping about having to pay for their handouts instead of griping about them being aborted. Just saying...
