Oooooh, powerlineblog and newsbusters.org! Stop, just stop. And just because you don't understand how reporting has worked (since the beginning of journalism), despite it being explained, doesn't make it fake. Although I will say your views of the press does very much resemble those of Trump. Interestingly, his vocal criticism very much mirrors the rantings of another ego-maniacal world leader, Putin.

I go back and forth on Richt. I always root for him though. One of the best men in the coaching profession. Who learned from maybe the finest gentleman to ever grace a sideline - Bobby B.

Wow. The Post is a commie fake-newspaper. You literally start threads with links to "theconservativetreehouse.com". Literally. But I would never refer to such a site as a fascist, pro-nazi website. Even if I had ever heard of it before...

That description has never been used in conjunction with a Vidor basketball player. Ever.

Ok, this is pretty funny:

Says the guy who lives in a district with probably the nicest facilities in the state, per capita. And I've always greatly admired Evadale for that. In terms of Vidor, their situation is a bit different from BC's. BC did not NEED new facilities. Many wanted them, and that is fine. If you have been inside the Vidor HS lately (and I was last semester), they badly need a new school. Not stadium or gym. A school. For learning. But whether it's "wants" or "needs," ultimately it's up to the voters. If they don't see fit to place importance on education, maybe people who do will leave and find a community that does...

Was that the Felts/Statum team? If so that was longer than 4 years, huh? That team went deeper than 3 maybe though. Think they lost to Jasper pretty close to state.

Burbank is a beast. Gonna look good in that burnt orange.

Trump's biggest problem is, and will continue to be he can't keep his big mouth shut. I don't know how ANYONE would find this hard to believe. He is undoubtedly a world class narcissist (not that he's the first to hold that office). But he simply seems to be someone who is almost impossible to temper.

Cougar is almost certainly correct. Based on the careful wording of McMaster's statement, rest assured it was edited, if not prepared by Trump's legal team. Which is not unusual. Given the scope of these allegations, almost anyone in that position would invoke legal advice. As to the Washington Post's report, where some of you are suspicious of "anonymous" or "unnamed" sources, what you need to know is what that means in practice. The Post is an "old school" newspaper with strict reporting guidelines. If a source refuses to go on record, their information must be confirmed by another independent source for the story to go to press. So what this means is at least 2 people confirmed the same information circulated. Does that mean these sources are correct or incapable of lying for whatever reason? Of course not. But to think he Post would fabricate this story is just unrealistic at best.

All these denials would play better if they could keep their buffoon, errr boss off of Twitter...

Syntax I guess. Or maybe poorly worded. Meant it is where BC is weakest (vs other parts of their game), versus other years where it has been their stength.

BC's bats have heated up. But they will face better pitching than they have seen since district. I have to pick against the OC team here. The difference is pitching. Silsbee has the deepest staff in the district imo. And that is the one area where, unlike recent years, BC is weakest.

Jimmy Carter was a terrible president in my opinion, but, also in my opinion, is the best of all former presidents and I greatly respect him because of it. H.W. and Clinton have also worked a lot of worthy causes, often together. I would hope Obama would do the same. His popularity around the world is such he could do a lot of good. He's only a few months removed from office so it's premature to say the least. I will be greatly disappointed if he doesn't.

Color me shocked that Trump's NSA issued a denial. I thought they would come out and confess immediately But, Englebert my friend, I genuinely hope the report is false and it was a lot premature. Because, if true, it's not good for our country which means it's bad for all of us.

I didn't think many of you would. Granted, The Washington Post is no "theconservativetreehouse.com", but it is a publication that is probably more adept than most at covering D.C. I think they may have broken a presidential scandal or two over its 140 year-old history. It's funny, I read over and over that liberals don't want dialogue, or they are sheeple, etc., on this site. But I have read plenty over the past 8 years who were critical of various things President Obama did (and even wrote some of them myself). I havent read the same criticism from hardcore conservatives on this site yet. I read a lot of, he wasn't my first choice. But mostly when it comes to specifics, it's "I don't believe that." I guess we shall see. But in terms of the criticism of the left, it's at best hypocritical, and at worst the panther calling the sheep black... Which is why I don't post often on this board and consider the dialogues here fruitless most of the time.

Seems like someone else is more dangerously affiliated with communists. Smh [Hidden Content]

Did PNG get our permission to use their field Friday night?? And will they have concessions? Must be nice to have enough money you don't need more! They could have easily made several thousand last weekend between the BC game and OF/HJ games. At least let the poorer schools come in and profit if you're not going to use it!

Yes he has. But it's a pretty big drop off after Gonzales. And he has really come on in the playoffs. Still, over the course of a potential 3 game series, I would take my chance in a 1 vs 1. You wouldn't take OF in a sweep, would you?

Exactly. I'm no baseball expert but this is exactly what I would have done. Stubbs vs JD, one game, let the chips fall. Although I agree Jack is one of, if not the best in the area, WOS staff is deeper imo. Stubbs is easily OF's best arm so I believe this is their best chance.

I wish they had kept it on this 2 year stint. The previous two years were always good, competitive games that got both teams better.

Scary thing about Memorial is how good they would be if they were returning a 3 year starter at QB like they should be. But Keitha is still good enough I think they will be much improved at that position, even without the experience he should have had by now. Overall, district will be even better too. I think the PNG/PAM game could be epic - Roschon is just a gamer that seems to thrive the bigger the game. And I agree Vidor and Central are going to be right there in the mix, capable of beating anyone.

Yep yep. Looks like the fastest guy in the state. Needs more touches for sure.

And will deliver the yearly beat down on Silsbee

If he's overrated, the best fit would be aggy. They never win ANYTHING yet somehow think they are "in the conversation." But alas, the only "conversation" our special little brother is in always involves a punchline....
