7-7

I almost fell out of my chair. I asked the folks I was with when the young man finished, “did we actually just have a prayer at a major college football game.” (LSU was playing Bama). And the fact that it was so shocking is a sad commentary on our society. I tend to agree with my buddy @Hagar and wonder how many of society’s ills can be traced to this absence. And while I do believe in separation of church and state (everyone should have right to choose their own religion or no religion), we are also supposed to be “one nation under God.” And a non-denominational prayer at Death Valley was unbelievably refreshing.

[Hidden Content] Republicans take control of the House. My favorite kind of politics - gridlock. All day, every day.

No doubt. I wish I knew what that was like because my school could NEVER beat Groveton. The one year we tied them (in the state quarterfinals), we lost on total yards (also had tied on penetrations and first downs). As soon as we caught them without a Horace, their little cousin Rodney Thomas filled their shoes. I can only imagine finally beating them. After I was gone, they fell off a bit and then it was Celina who bounced my alma mater in the 3rd or 4th round every year. So heck yeah Belleville should be celebrating. I don’t care who was playing or coaching, that’s a 900 lb gorilla off your back for sure

Indeed. WOS was transformed overnight to a mediocre team. And regardless of what some may think, that wasn’t the Jimmies and the Joes.

Prayers for those families. And speaking of prayers, I recently went to an LSU football game and they had a “moment of reflection” where a student prayed over the stadium speaker system before the game. Gotta tell you, there weren’t many sober in that stadium that night but the fact they still pray before games? I became more of a Tiger fan that night.

Happy veteran’s day to @Hagar, @Mr. Buddy Garrity and all of our vets. Thank you for your sacrifices and service!

Would be the second year in a row A&M held a commitment from the #1 LB in the nation and then lost him (LSU’s Harold Perkins being the other). Reminds me of that Seinfeld scene re: taking a reservation vs holding a reservation…

Yes, yes it did. 6 wins is the threshold (I think it may be 6 FBS wins but I don’t know for sure because we don’t schedule FCS cupcakes like some other folks).

I think it’s time we include the aggy. #1 recruiting class in our prayers as they flock to the portal and try to make a better decision the second time around. After talking to an initial aggy commit who wisely flipped and played an amazing game last night against Bama, I can tell you he is elated with his decision. When he decommitted last year, he told us sometimes you just change your mind. I told him changing your mind is a woman’s and a 5 star’s prerogative.

Sometimes a rebel is just too much for a Horseman. Tale as old as time.

Me either. If he caught on somewhere, just wanted to know. Like keeping up with our local kids playing overseas.

Is he? Hadn’t heard where. I know he had a G league tryout with the Hawks sometime back.

5 players scored in double figures. Freshman Nate Calmese finished with 33 and juco transfer Jay Buckley of Shelbyville finished with 18. [Hidden Content]

He’s down a few hundred. Gotta keep voting. On another note, word is that a lawsuit is pending against the Hornung Award folks. Something about a math equation as a requirement to vote is discriminatory against the Aggie nominees…

We got him back in the lead. Will vote regularly for him. He’s probably in my top 5 All Time favorite horns. And only half of that is him being from SETX.

Is there really crying in here about the smallest team in 4a occasionally dropping to 3A? Just take solace in being able to effectively recruit Beaumont for years Bucs…

PA over everybody!

You won the day 😂🤣

Well done to you both. I had the feeling the admins at LCM had a suspicion or had been given some info. They were falling all over themselves to tell people let’s not assume it was Lumberton kids. The Jefferson Z28 reference was a nice touch too 😂

It really seemed like LCM thought it was an inside job from the beginning. Kudos for not automatically slandering Lumberton.

[Hidden Content] Yikes! That may be an actual thing 😂

.

Makes perfect sense. Hopefully they catch the little hoodlums who did it. But likewise, hope it doesn’t serve as too much a distraction for either team.
