So vague. They want you to answer a question on a topic that should have 10 sub parts. Some I had to answer neutral because I couldn't pick based on the way they asked.

You laughed and you know it!

Nash usually falls somewhere between Kaitlyn & Bruce...

Reb and I were just talking about just this. Although many of our answers differed, we agree on this exactly. Too open-ended with not enough specificity to even properly gauge one's view. Some I almost couldn't even answer. But they are fun

Mine was going to be a jury trial. Judge was just embarrassed to have 6 people waste their morning sitting on that jury. On your mom's situation, you would be surprised at the # of cops who don't know that law. I've had 2 situations, both in personal unhurt cases where the cop believed you had to clear the intersection, rather than enter it, before the light turns red. At least when they wrote the ticket before the statute was shown to them.

Left 6.12, Libertarian 3.54

That is one of the things that sticks out most to me out of all the things he's accomplished. The Anderson twins were such a force that before that mammoth game he threw, I'm not sure a lot of us were aware how good JD was.

My guy is becoming famous!

By the way Reb, I wish I had taken you to the "pretrial conference." I drive to Beaumont, and luckily they call the cases with lawyers back first. I sit down across from a city prosecutor and slide the ticket across the desk to her. I say, "are you guys really serious with this ridiculousness?" She looks at me funny and says, "yes?" I stand up and say, "see you at trial" and walk out. Had to be the shortest pretrial conference in history.

In all fairness no-look, that is also true of a lot of places not named Huntington...

Our buddy nailed it. It's really not that uncommon with him from what I hear...

I had to help a friend with a Burmaster ticket. Caught my lead-footed buddy going 47 in a 45. Luckily, he was able to stop him and write him up before he did anyone any serious harm with such a blatant disregard for the speed limit. Said ticket was ultimately dismissed by the judge...

Congrats to Nick. He's a wonderful young man who has worked very hard at his game.

And now Brian Bowen is said to have the Longhorns at or near the top of his list. If they sign this highly coveted wing, one of the top classes in the country becomes even stronger... [Hidden Content]

BJ Foster announces on June 5th. Number 1 safety in country.

He is and his brother is as well. I've been impressed by the athletic achievements like everyone else. But I am more impressed by things I am privy to that have nothing to do with sport.

He's not a poor shooter. Better shooter than Magic or Kidd coming out of college. Has an unorthodox shot but it's effective.

One of the best things about Landyn. He never complains, always has a smile on his face and plays his tail off. He will always be a favorite of the coaches for any team he plays on because he's so easy to coach.

And one more parting gift from Brooklyn next year! And cap space for a max deal. Go Celts!

He's so good at distributing the ball he really doesn't have to shoot it much. Kid is a tremendous talent, his brothers much less so. But his dad is becoming such a distraction, I feel sorry for him. Hard enough for a 19 yo kid to handle the pressures of being a pro, then he has to deal with the side circus. Will be interesting to see how he handles it. As for the Lakers, that's a match made in hell. Can't stand them so I can't decide if I want them to take him or not...

I agree 100% Rake. When we stoop so far as to start minimizing other sports (one of which was by a fan of a school who has made a tremendous leap forward in that sport due to a great hire and dedication of its kids), we really need to evaluate why we post. Kids do read this board and I'm sure they love to hear their accomplishments are unimportant. Is that what is meant? Of course not. Is that the message that is sent? Absolutely. I'm by no means a baseball guy anymore than I'm a soccer guy. Both are too slow paced for my liking. But I'm proud of all the kids from this area who have worked hard at their craft and are enjoying the fruits of their work. Silsbee and BC included, both of whom had playoff seasons in all 3 of the major sports among others. I agree with WOSgrad about the feasibility of a "smack talk" board. And who would want to moderate that. As far as AAW, this board is not possible without all the time he devotes to it and who among us has not thoroughly enjoyed at least one of his many broadcasts, not only for the Tigers but also other schools. And I don't know that I've ever seen him start one of these "detours"; I have seen him respond to some...he probably struggles like I do to jump in when someone posts something he believes is a bit ridiculous. And as humans, we are never always correct in our beliefs and assumptions. Soooo, my suggestion for those who do enjoy some ribbing and smack talk - venture over to the college or pro sports board and fire away. PhatMack, UTfanatic, BandwagonRanger, baddog, BSWildcats, teamfirst, king, myself, and others enjoy plenty of that over there. And unlike with our HS kids, these subjects involve guys who are either paid a lot of money to play or coach, or are getting a high priced education to do so. They aren't reading this board and if they do, they are adults who can take it. My 2 cents. Thanks again for the thread Rake. We don't always agree but I do ALWAYS enjoy your contributions to this board

FIFY

Hopefully we will be much improved. Think I'm going to venture out to Portland for the PK80 during Thanksgiving (sorry aggy, adidas teams need not apply). Should be fun regardless - going to see a couple of our kids that will be playing for OU and Georgetown. And my son loves Duke BB almost as much as UT hoops. But a strong Longhorn showing would be icing on the cake.

C'mon - nut job is really the part of the statement that's concerning?? #forestforthetrees
