Amen.

Absolutely. Love the gym and watching the kids play. They had a really fun team to watch last year and I expect the same this year. And as I said, salt of the earth fans.

PS, I didn't weigh in because I suck at FF. Been playing since we had to keep the stats by hand and fax them out each week. Haven't won the Super Bowl yet!

Rich people problems... What the heck? You got 3 people in your league?? That team is stacked!!!

It's not that difficult to see. The thing is, very few people believe they are a racist or a bigot. The ones who do are the idiots wearing it on their sleeves. But I will pass on calling anyone out. Not my place to do so. And hey, I hope I am wrong!

You crack me up REB. Can't wait to meet you at a Rebel basketball game this year.

i respect your opinion and agree with your point in theory. In practice, this does not happen on either side of the ballot. But no one loves or appreciates an idealist more than me.

Spot on

I will stay out of that one. As I've told you before, I know enough about you that I don't believe you're a racist. But as I've also said, there comes a point where as Shakespeare said, thou dost protest too much. I also firmly believe there are plenty on this site who would never have given this President a chance in part because of the color of his skin. It is obvious in the vitriol they spew. As far as this issue and others involving, at least on the periphery "reverse discrimination," I think it's a load of crap and a way for white people to divert any issues of discrimination and voice their displeasure over any special treatment of men and women of color. In truth, I have not the foggiest clue what it's like to experience racism or truly to be discriminated against because of the color of my skin. And I doubt you or many other Caucasians on this board have either.

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite posters on this site, despite our philosophical differences. Makes sense though - Evadale is up there with Newton on my book with some of the best folks in SE Tx. Not sure I've ever met anyone from either place that I didn't really like.

Careful Nash. You are starting to throw around trigger words without regard to context like your man Smitty. And I know you aren't senile. Yet

I was just talking to my kid yesterday about this regarding another kid. Class of 2018 Connor Vanover, 7'1" and out of Little Rock. I told him kids from Arkansas get more pressure to stay and play for the Razorbacks than probably any other state. Even more than LSU with the Louisiana kids.

Wow. Since even a British tabloid's story about environmental catastrophe confuses you, I was going to suggest you watch the movie, The Day After Tomorrow. But I'm afraid you will post clips of the severe freezing conditions in a movie about global warming...

I opened this thread to make this same exact thing. Read my mind

Kid just makes plays. However you can get him the ball. I will be surprised if he doesn't end up returning kicks/punts while he's there.

​I would hope (and I believe) you know exactly what my point was. At least it appeared you did from your response. We just disagree on what experience a coach should have to take the reigns at a school like Central. We all have our opinions, and apparently BISD agrees with you. No biggie. I wish them well.

I merely pointed out another Old Testament no-no. I'm not saying and never said God or the Bible was wrong. But unlike others, I believe that is between them and God. And I'll let Him be their judge. I think the Bible says something about that too.

And a lot of Jews are "liberal left-wingers." They might disagree with that statement.

God have mercy on your souls if you guys are eating pork...

I had nothing against Anthony Boutte. My only issue was giving a first time driver the keys to a Corvette. If that's the route you were going to go, I would have no issue with Boutte. He's as ready as any Subvarsity coach for a HC gig and I'm sure he'll get one. But I hope Paul ends up being a great hire. He seemed to be the favorite amongst Central folks so they certainly can't complain about it.

Same here. On all of that.

Do you honestly believe he isn't involved in major decisions in the company? Big difference between "day to day operations" and no involvement. I am sure he trusts all will be well with his 80 billion.

No shock here. Bill Gates is one of those low information-voting Democrats who could learn a thing or two from... Oh wait, never mind.

Congrats! Hope this is a hire that works well for the Jags.
