But for argument's sake, mightn't there have been a reason that was not racially motivated?  For instance, since BISD is an "open" district, suppose there were Central supporters on the committee that did not want to see Ozen become the completely dominant basketball program in Beaumont.  I have no idea either way since I was not even aware he had interviewed.  Just wondering aloud.

Dove- since we believe so strongly in diversity, I want to give you an example of racism from my viewpoint that I considered blatant. And it is an area with which you are particularly conversant. My personal opinion is that there was considerable racism involved when Ozen High School received an application from one of the all time great Texas High School basketball coaches ( whose initials are TS). He was granted a very short interview ( during which, a couple of the interviewers did cross word puzzles) and the interviewee NEVER heard from them again. I wonder why? Was it his basketball credentials? Wouldnt it be interesting to compare his credentials against those hired?

 

Man, didn't know this.  Would love to have seen what he could do with that talent.

Congrats to the Texas Baseball team - Hope they go far!

But "baddog and "txhoops" continue to show why they act like "typical" Texas fans on this forum and continue their lack of good sportsmanship with normal stupid statements..

😂

Which team wants to go ge curb-stomped by LSU?

Someone forgot to beat the first Texas team they faced...

It will be interesting to see where they have the Super. Them and Houston are both 2 seeds. Houston probably has the better RPI. It's up to the NCAA to decide.

Texas would actually probably prefer playing in Houston. As espn reminded everyone incessantly, horns are a much better road team.

While it was a little shaky at the beginning of the season for a bit, the Aggies still managed to pull off a decent season. And even though t.u. is the one moving on, at least we got a chance to Saw'em Off last night.

Gig'em Aggies! WHOOP!

"t.u." would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for resuming your role as second fiddle...

Tech moving on with a shutout of the Canes! First ever super regional in Lubbock??

Nah, we got more when we moved to the SEC.

Oh I forgot those two you found last summer. Wonder why they didn't find the fourth one?

Mack won 2 conference titles in his 16 yrs. Total domination!


Mack did get a new job though

Yet equaled the number of national championships in the history of Aggie Football... 

A&M's 3rd base coach is brutal! That's 2 guys that have been thrown out by 30 feet.


Game tied at 1 after 2

Was just thinking the same thing - guy is absolutely awful. Those weren't even close.

Statum has been hitting the ball well lately. He roped that one

Yes he has. Great kid too.

Guns up!  Big win for the Red Raiders.

Yes, I remember Gates and Jobs doing a lot of complaining about "doing it themselves." And warren buffet. Or while we are stereotyping, maybe those three are just too darn intelligent to be republicans?

BIll Gates and Steve Jobs. No college degrees. Much more success than most.

Agreed. Also a couple of brilliant democrats. Good examples ;)

Nothing to see here. Not like Mr. Jarrett was sending his maid out to buy oxy's by the case like the esteemed Rush Limbaugh. That shepherd needed about 5 minutes to be completely forgiven by his morally righteous herd.

 Txhoops-And I know many intelligent highly educated people who are currently without a job or waiting tables somewhere.  My point is there are a million ways to skin a cat and a college degree merely gives you and advantage when you start. If I didn't believe that, I wouldn't have borrowed the money to attend.  However, its not the degree that promotes you.  Its what you do in your career.  I sort of look at it like I look at music ( have some background there).  I have a very close relative who, at age 15 toured Europe entertaining the troops during World War II.  This person could not read a note and played all by ear.  No formal music education.  Could hear any song once and play it back perfectly without a mistake.  I can show you many a Julliard grad that cannot do that.  And I once again urge you to look into a company called Long Term Capital management.  Operated by several Nobel Laureats with a Dr. in front of their name and they almost brought our entire economy down.  Once again proving that a Doctorate Degree, by itself, guarantees nothing.

 

And I don't disagree with any of that.

Texas is a $$$$$$ making athletic department - Kinda makes you wonder if $$$ is king why are their sports - both Men and Women's all winning the NC and Big 12 title every year?  :D

 

Unlike the poor schools like Baylor and A&M that have to pinch every dollar just to put teams on the field :D  

 

....and right on cue.

 

It's a brand that's all.  Year in, year out, sell more merch than any other university in the Country.  They were the highest grossing athletic department even before the ESPN deal.   Just the way it is.

 

But you are right, it has been almost a decade since their last MNC in their highest grossing sport.  I guess that beats seven and a half decades though...
 

This is going to get VERY complicated...

Agreed. And ridiculous. If he wasn't bat sh+# crazy, he would take his 2 billion and run.

Yeah, look at Dan "Potato" Quayle. Oh and Rick Perry proved you can make it with a degree and poor grades.

Let's not forget W. He was denied admittance to UT's business school based on poor academic performance but got into Yale. I wonder how that happened?

And Nash, that is an impressive list but very much the exception to the rule. Education and grades are very much an indicator of intelligence, which in turn is a very likely precursor to success. Take a look, for example, at NBA owners. Very much a billionaire's club. I believe they are all college graduates (I researched this for another issue not long ago), and over half were Ivy League educated.

Serious question:  Is there a lot of animosity in general from Kountze toward Silsbee?  Just curious because it has appeared to me that the kids from the two schools are pretty friendly with each other in general.  Never would have thought that there was bad blood between the two before I started reading this board.  But not a native SETX guy either.

Was just about to ask when the Red Raiders play.  Wreck em Tech!   Pretty good draw for a regional for Tech...

So as a conference, they doubled up the University of Texas?  Pretty impressive ;)

Mendgen was pretty bad all year and lost most of A&M's Friday night games in conference. Greyson Long has been the Ags best starter all year. I don't get why Childress keeps sending out mendgen for big games.

 

I wouldn't play him at all for wearing that porn 'stache.   On principle alone...

6-1 Texas still batting btm 3. Fight at the bat rack.

Orangefield's Jace Statum knocks in a run for the Ags. Horns lead 3-1 top of 3rd.
