    No reason they miss playoffs in every sport lol

    I will give you credit for being sarcastic, and not making an incredibly dumb post.  They did just win the equivalent of the director’s cup for SETX last year (don’t know what they call if for HS but I’m sure someone does).  Of course, the credit for that goes in no small part to the great hires Smalley made across the board.

    Trump needs another debate - Harris doesn't

    She may not like the results if they get non-biased host......

    I agree with you. I don’t know why she would agree to another one.  I’m sure she was as confident (or cocky) as can be after the one ended last night. Let’s see if her advisors don’t walk her back from doing another one (many ways to do it: don’t agree to terms, venue, host, etc.).

    Just finished watching the debate. (taped it because I watched baseball last night).

    Harris won the debate.

    Not sure what that means going forward with the election, but she did better than Trump last night. She was more prepared.

    I would have to agree with you.  The bigger problem for former President Trump is that i can’t imagine she didn’t win in the minds of the coveted independent/swing voters.

    That makes it sound like the reason he was replaced was because of Republican pressure, which is the complete opposite of the truth.  He was replace by Democratic leadership because they knew he could not win.  So none of those answers are valid.

    I was about to say, which republicans wanted him to step down?  I think that was part of the problem.  I’m sure the assumption was (maybe correctly so, I guess we will never know) he virtually un-re-electable (that word is made up but should be a thing).

    Colorado still not ready for prime time.

    Until they get better in the trenches on both sides of the ball, they cannot run with the big dogs. Nebraska is far from a big dog.

    Was the case last year and looks to be the case this year.

    I would be willing to bet Quinn jumped Sanders on some draft boards yesterday.

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, here is mine. They opted up to be more competitive across the board and change the scenery from the last 4 years of being the laughing stock of SETX.

    Honestly, from what I’ve seen so far from BC in particular they might be competing for a district title this year. Change was needed in that city. It used to be an embarrassing program. Last year BC almost lost to Buna. Only winning 20-12 This year, they dominated them. BC hasn’t completely dominated anyone in recent memory. Now, there is excitement, and the kids and community are beaming with pride. What is wrong with that? Also, we can talk about the offensive showcase BC put on, but the defense has been absolutely lights out. You are forgetting, in a live half vs Silsbee and Newton (two of the best teams in the area) and a full game vs Buna. They have only allowed 6 POINTS. Those 6 points came late with the 2s and 3s in the game.
    Take it how you want. They still have to go out there and prove that they are worthy of the praise. I believe that they will. Also, I’m not trying to attack you or your opinion, I just love seeing local Orange County teams be successful, especially teams that have not been competitive in recent memory. BC should be 3-0 once the fun of district play begins. District play will provide better insight to what this team is capable of.
     

     

    Very good post.  It’s no secret I have always been, and will always be a fan of Josh Smalley the person.  I also happen to think he’s a pretty dang good football coach.  I think BC is going to be very pleased with this hire.  And I will personally be rooting for them in every game but one this season.

    I get you are trying to be funny, but you HAVE to beat up on a smaller, winless Southland conference team. You don't get anything for putting a beatdown on them. Losing or a narrow win is a disaster for TAM.  

    Trying? TRYING?  How dare you sir?!

    ND is really good team. Weigman does not appear to be the answer. Its just one game though. That said, if the TAM O does not put up 50 on McNeese (0-10 last year) next week its time to go. 

    But to be fair, if they DO, I think we can all agree it will be time to give Elko an extension…

    Yep.

    May hedge it later in a late Saturday parlay.

    Bold of you to bet A&M when Ted Cruz will be in attendance 

    Corso picked the Catholics so should be a wash.  

  10. I know one school who has had fans who desperately wanted a coaching change so they could finally be rid of the Slot T and have a spread offense installed.  Coach who left put up 54 points with his new school last night.  School whose fans (some of them, to be fair) wanted change…scored 7…on a blocked punt return.  Be careful what you wish for 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Here’s the deal, if Trump loses, and I’m not convinced he will, so for anyone to act like they know is silly,

    But, if he loses, we’ll go through the continued dumpster fire as far as inflation, weak to other nations, porous border, skyrocketing crime, higher taxes … you get it.

    So in four years when Trump is no longer around and the cake walk never appears that so many of our forum political experts think exists for a Republican, even though we have the “right” candidate, who will we hold accountable then?

    We don’t have a candidate problem, we have a voter problem.  Republicans can’t provide a product the nation wants anymore, unless we become democrats, which is slowly happening.

    Agreed there as well. A month and a half is an eternity in politics. 

  12. It’s not rocket science.  Elections are now decided by independent voters in about 4-6 states.  Which is a good thing for the GOP since it’s been 36 years since the popular vote went red.  So try not to pick the candidate that polls the worst with those voters.  I do agree about the voter problem, and it obviously runs deep on both sides of the aisle.  And neither can see it unfortunately.
