Not that I'm looking ahead but if we handle FB Marshall comfortably then I think we do the same to Brenham again. I don't think they'll cause us the matchup problems that Marshall could if they get the run game going or find a weak spot in our secondary to exploit. Marshall has given up 35, 48 and 63 points on defense at different times this year plus a bunch on yards to Santa Fe. As long as we play clean on the offensive side of the ball and on special teams I think Crosby making three or four defensive stops probably gets the W.  

Doesn't Brenham have to get through a pretty good Consolidated team first?

well I am one of the ones that Is always complaining, I am never happy till they are 50pts put up. Im a firm believer that if you gonna beat someone beatem for the whole 48 mins. It kills me that the starters go on defense and have a shutout going on and then late in the fourth you bring in the secondarys and they give up 16 unanswered points. I think if you gonna sub in alternates just do it a few at a time don't just let them all go in at once, but that's just my opinion. I like to see the officials call it both ways I will complain even if we win, regardless it is the right thing to do! yes I do question the coaching at times  like on the fourth down play, if you know your going for it put the offense in and let them do what they do. Barbers Hill was playing the fake and they stuffed it. That just made us look silly! I liked the fake fieldgoal a few weeks back that was interesting as riggs is a playmaker and just come up short. But everyone knows our special teams is suspect so why not just go for two every now and then depending on game situations or go for it on fourth when you are at the forty or so if you don't get it, that is nine times out of 10 where the other offense is going to start out any way. The pooch kick I hate, if you gonna give up that kind of field position just onside kick it, got a better chance of getting it. But hey im just a bleacher fan im not the coach, that is what he gets paid for. But I paid my $6 bucks so im gonna say what I want when I want and if it hurts your feelings oh well! I have a couple that sits beside me, they go sit somewheres else about all the home games with the exception on the mcm game. I know I get on the husbands nerves so I continue to do what I do. Sorry it is what it is.

So help me to understand this mentality if you don't mind.

How exactly do you feel that your complaining from the stands is helping the team, coaches, or program? 

You do realize that the coaches can't hear you right? and if they could it is unlikely they would make changes based on your suggestions....so what is your goal here? 

Let's say that you go to a movie, and I'm sitting next to you, and I start hollering about how the movie is all wrong, the lighting is off...the lines are weak, the acting is bad etc. and you look over at me and ask me to shut up...so I come back with "I paid my 7 bucks so I can say whatever I want, I've been watching movies for 30 years and I know all about them, when I see something wrong I'm calling it out, and if you don't like it then you can move"

would that be acceptable behavior in your mind? of course not...so why is it any different at the football game? 

I can only think of two reasons why you and guys like you carry on the way you do

1) therapy- you use criticizing coaches as a release from the stresses of day to day life...I get that, it feels good to able to let people have it sometimes

2) attention - for some reason you really want the people around you to think you are a guru of football, like maybe you'll get some respect or maybe some more dates if people know you as the resident football expert of row 15

either way...it sure seems shallow to me that you regularly tear down a group of hard working and long suffering people in front of their friends and families to make yourself feel good or to get people to look at you

You left out the most plausible scenario. It is a movement by the government and others to convince Americans to invest trillions of dollars into cleaning our environment, and to give trillions to other countries for them to clean their environments. To invest money that Americans would be unwilling to give up unless a crisis existed.

So if 97% of environmental scientists agree that CO2 is killing the planet, and that man is responsible, why won't (can't) they show the human linkage? Why won't (can't) they show how this warming is catastrophic...or even detrimental? Why do the supporters say the debate is over and call everyone else deniers? Who are these people denying anything? Why won't these environmental leaders debate?

And like most people on my side of the debate, I don't know if the scientists are lying. I do know for a fact that the debate is not over. I don't have a problem with the pursuit of alternative energy. I think that is a good thing. I don't have a problem with some regulations designed to keep or country as clean as possible. But I'm not willing to spend trillions of dollars on unproven theories in which the "solutions" are even more unproven.

And who really cares? Every American should. You won't be able to hold on to your wallet tight enough to keep them out.

I don't get how we can say there is no "human linkage"...you aren't asking for realistic, logical conclusions, you have put yourself into a position where no amount of reasoning will change your mind, like a juror in a murder case who won't convict on a mountain of evidence because they have seen too much NCIS and they want some dang DNA 

here's what is known: 

CO2 traps heat in the atmosphere

humans release a lot of CO2 by burning fossil fuels

since humans starting releasing a lot of CO2 into the air...earth has gotten hotter

do you really need more than that? 

If I stop on the scale and weigh in at 180 lbs...then I go grab a 20 pound dumbbell and get back on the scale, now my weight is 200lbs......does it makes sense for me to say "We can't just blame the extra weight on the dumbbell! it was probably natural phenomenon! My weight has been fluctuating my whole life...I just happened to go up at the same time as I grabbed that dumbbell and got back on the scale, the dumbbell weighs nothing..I heard about a dude over in Alaska who grabbed the dumbbell and got lighter!..so that means there is no dumbbell problem...we must never blame the dumbbell!!!!!

look I hate the government with a purple passion.......and I get that politicians are probably eaten up over how using global warming as an excuse they can demand more powers from the people...I hate the thought of it honestly...but the two things don't have to go together...just because this is a serious world wide issue doesn't mean that we need the government to fix it...if anything they would definitely make it worse

I love the cognitive dissonance at play when somebody says the scientists are all lying in the relentless pursuit of money

assume you have no more than a high school scientific foundation (me) and really don't care that much about the global warming debate (me) because ya figure it's all coming to an end sometime  and it might as well be sooner rather than later #nolivesmatter

so anyways....working from that viewpoint...which scenario is more likely 

scenario 1) lots of different people who study climate science have purposely created a fictional narrative about how human behavior is heating the planet to catastrophic levels, they are motivated to do this for the following reasons

A - to make themselves and their careers very important 

B - to get more government funding for their lavish lifestyles

C - as part of a leftist plot to overthrow big corporations and create a new world order communist government

scenario 2) it appears that the release of CO2 is killing the planet, people who have made their fortunes, or currently make a living the in the oil/gas/fracking/refining industry can plainly see that if this is  true, than the government might step in and promote the use of energy sources that could very well cost millions of jobs and completely destroy the economy of the place they live. In response to this..it is much easier to find articles that support that position you really want to hear anyway, which is that the earth is doing just fine, nothing to see here, carry on as usual. 

I hold no ill will against anybody for believing in the first scenario..heck it might be true..i just doesn't sound very plausible to me...i know that if my livelihood depended on the oil industry...i'd be much happier believing in that then admitting to myself that i'm contributing to a major problem...

really though who cares.....I read while back that in order to reverse the affects of GW we'd have to immediately revert to the energy expenditure of a nation like kenya......that ain't happening...if the damage is done it's done..I say bring on the mad max post apocalyptic world already

No there was actually another kid that came with him named Lagarious Mcquirter who had over 200 yds receiving and 4 tds last Friday against Crosby. He was by far our best receiver this year and is about 6"2 with good speed and great hands. I believe he was also the districts long jump champion last year.  Liberty had a really loaded class. 

Lagarious is a good one, there was also a Melton kid who played with that group that moved to celina, is a D1 recruit and has started on the O-line for them..it is really was a loaded class. 

it's no coincidence that Dayton is struggling a little bit and Liberty is doing so well. If you wan't your new coach to succeed over there on your side of the river, don't ask old coach Stewart about X's and O's...ask him about how to do a better job recruiting Liberty

The Spartans of ancient Greece were one of the toughest warrior cultures in human history...they took homosexuality as a matter of course. Alexander who conquered the known world was the occasional lover of his warlord and best friend...being accepting of homosexuality  has nothing to do with weakness..the only weakness is intolerance..a sad weakness of intelligence and character 

I'm with Jesse Ventura

I believe 

 - In response to his veto of a bill that would have required school students to recite the pledge of allegiance 

seriously X family live free for 500years Y family lives under captivity for 350 130 sort of free 70years as free as X family. What family would you bet on to be more further ahead.

This is no less true for poor white kids living in those trailers over in kenefick than it is for poor black kids in any other town...poverty and getting out of poverty is a problem all by itself, it doesn't belong to a certain skin color. I honestly thing that racial tension is a convenient way for the powerful to divide the rest of us. If it weren't for racial tensions, we might look around and decide that the real thing "holding us down" are government regulations that stifle opportunities and draconian drug laws that serve only to put poor people in prisons and fix nothing, but instead of working class people uniting, marching and slinging batteries at deluded and corrupt government officials, we're too busy arguing at each other about a the protest of some football player

forget all the black/white statistics.....I'd be willing to bet that 99.999999% of the people who get beat up or shot by police are living at or below the poverty line, nobody in a gated community driving a lexus causes cops to "fear for their lives"

There was a voting area where I work on May 24th in Jefferson County.  Run off between Democrats Zena Stephens and Joe Stevenson.  In that area there was representatives of both parties along with others (supervising the voting machines).  I overheard there conversation about TV shows/hollywood and how the increase of gay relations on TV has gotten ridiculous.  Basically the gist of it....they were complaining about it and don't understand why/how it has gotten that way.

Now given that most Dems always vote dem and most REP always vote rep.  

I know that politicians don't have much of a say on what is put on the TV screen, but they do have a say in laws and the reason they have that ability is because people vote for them. 

So how can they complain/don't understand when most of them voted for the individuals who have allowed/enabled a societal change?

It is so simple to me I am baffled by it.....

I think this guy does a good job explaining it from the side of democratic congressman, there is a musical part and then it shows him talking, right at one minute in..

Your source set you up failure and lied to your face.

You sir, are correct

I have failed miserably

I thought I had climbed high atop the mountain of high school football internet message board greatness with my "inside information"

only to find out that this "in"formation was really "out"formation

I am reminded of young icarus who flew just a tad too close to the sun

thank you for humbling me 

this is very similar to the story of a group of extremely vocal internet posters who spent a ton of time talking about how great their team was and were making plans to attend the state title game only to be soundly defeated in the 2nd round. 

Word I got is they did the spring game in the middle of the day without pads so as to lower the amount of parents screaming at the coaching staff, it has apparently always been an issue but a few select "fans" are getting out of hand with it, coach would just as soon get his work in without having his players have to hear him and his staff be questioned every few minutes

Lol, you must not spend much time, you didn't answer the question.   As for as your prejudice comment about Priest, the percentage of Priest identified as pedofiles, is lower than the general population as a whole.  So, you accept the transgender over the Priest, how sad.  I will pray for you.

yes...I did...a transgender woman would be a person who is biologically male that identifies as female, if you use gender related pronouns it would be appropriate to call this person "her" and "she"...so "transgender woman" answers your question, talking about a woman with a wiener...

What a shame...you have no problem with it, don't seem to worry if your daughter would.

That's where my concern lies (with the kids) and it seems Dr. Cavness as well.

Have to agree with Whoa...awful strange that you feel your kids are safer in the presence of someone obviously confused about what they are than a Priest.

seems to me that we have a way bigger problem with pedophilia in the priesthood than in the transgender world, so If we're just playing the law of averages and managing risk i'd go with the tranny, just my personal opinion on the matter

Do not judge others by your own desires.

If they are married,  then there is nothing "sinful" about freaky stuff...the key part of you're comment is "secret" which is where ones sex life, desires, and preferences should remain..unlike the LGBT who want to flaunt it and shove it into the public arena for attention.

so don't hold hands or kiss your wife in public, homosexuals find it disgusting, keep your weird hetero fetishes secret, stop throwing it in the face of the rest of world

sorry...don't get much time in front of the computer

yes I'd have no problem with a transgender woman going to the same bathroom as my daughter (who is four) at the same time

I'd be much more wary of letting my son who (7) spend time alone with a priest

Okay Lum, I'll give you my answer.  All of us are human and one of our COMMON DENOMINATORS is the uneasiness to change.   You people have a history of being scared of change. Yall get bent out of shape and (sometimes) carry things too far. Your people allow fear , prejudice, etc to rule your thoughts and actions.  So , you are saying because a person who is physically a man but identifies a woman is going to rape little girls in the bathroom? Hmmm, your logic sounds eerily familiar to some other past transgenders ...err... transgressions recorded throughout history.

It's a fair point, let's not forget that it wasn't very long ago that a lot of good southerners weren't comfortable with black men being in the same room as white women, idea being that black men weren't capable of controlling themselves and were likely to start raping at the drop of a hat. I know that none of you guys feel this way now, I'm just giving one example of what BLUEDOVE is talking about. Perceptions can change, a lot of people take time to get their head around new ways of thinking, it doesn't make you stupid or backwards or anything like that, nothing wrong with being stubborn, it's a virtue in most instances.In the same way that we (hopefully) think our grandparents ideas about race were misguided, I think that a few generations from now most of the world will have very different Ideas about gender than we hold now. Whether the superintendent at PNG likes it or not.

Folks aren't gutless about this, I think they are saying it loud and clear...myself included.

Social norms...you are calling transgender a social norm?

 

in our current culture no, it has been seen by most as a kink/quirk at best and a mental illness at worst, this perception is changing whether anybody likes it or not. The idea that a person's gender (how they feel inside) and a person's biology (the reproductive organs attached to their body) might not exactly match up is becoming more understood, I don't think these people want to throw anything into our faces, I think they just want to be treated like normal people instead of outcasts. 

For whatever reason, the political wing of religious right have latched onto this issue as one of their cultural battlegrounds, I suppose it does go against biblical teaching of the creation of adam/eve..but it seems like such a small thing to me that I don't understand why it has become such a big deal. It's like how a guy on his third divorce didn't like gay marriage because of the "sanctity of marriage"...it wasn't ever about the institution of marriage, it was about wanting to keep gays marginalized and on the fringe because you think their lifestyle is wrong....same principal applies here...don't mask it up as protecting kids....just way what you mean, you think transgender people are making a sinful lifestyle choice and you don't think society should accommodate for it...fine..roll with that

Protect the kids...how dare he.

Refresh my memory...what was the grand plan put in place in Lumberton to get rid of the teacher so which election could be won by who?

I don't remember all the details and don't care to look it up...but wasn't there a well respected teacher in lumberton (maybe it was another town) that brought burkas into her classroom as part of their study on islam/the middle east and some wingnut saw an opportunity and caused a big stink about how they were "teaching the kids to be muslim" or some such nonsense......the people continue to do this to you mouth breathers because they know it works, play to the deepest fears of people and they will abandon all reason

I don't know who cavness is and I'm sure he is heartfelt, but he could have ignored the order from the DOE without making a big spectacle of it, he didn't have to do interviews with news stations and give his opinion of the president, this is less about kids and more about a man promoting himself as much as possible as a champion of the people

the bathrooms scare issue has nothing to do with safety of kids anyway...it's a straw man because people are too gutless too say what they really feel, they don't want transgender to become common in society, they see it as another battleground to keep the influence of religion on social norms...they lost gay marriage and this is the next big fight...but what you don't understand is that it's already lost, I hate the government putting their noses into the schools business as much as anybody, but whether this law succeeds or fails, the culture is changing on its own, without influence of government or the church

congratulations to that superintendent for deciding to run for public office at some point in the future!

paycheck says he's running for something on the "protect your kids" platform in the next three years

reminds me of the lowlife that threw the lumberton teacher under the bus to score political points so he could win some mickey mouse election over there, at least cavness didn't actually publicly harm anybody directly, but I'm guess that if there are any transgendered kids at that school they probably aren't feeling too welcome right now

Just gonna leave this here

I like it when they say a team "has that killer instinct"...I have no idea what that means. I mean I know what the people who say it think it means, but it doesn't make any sense. If a team loses a lot of close games, they don't have that killer instinct...I mean do we really think that the team stops playing hard late in the game? Or is is more likely that they are good enough to play with other teams but not necessarily good enough to beat them, or maybe just have had a run of bad luck late in games

my other favorite is a coach that "can't win the big game" .....seems to me that every game is pretty big, especially in district..but a guy loses in the 3rd round and people go all "he can't win the big game"....it's pretty easy to just wait until a team loses and then go "see....see...that was the BIG GAME and he couldn't win it".......pretty much everybody who doesn't win the whole thing can't win the BIG GAME

You've certainly confused me.   I post a link about pedofiles and you post a list of black on white crimes.  What's up with that?  Do you think pedofile is Latin for black on white crime?   Do you think that whole list you posted is fantasy?   Are you naive enough to think there's no such thing as black on white crime?   I'll readily admit there's white on black crime, but according to DOJ statistics, of crimes between blacks and whites, 84.9% of them were black on white.  Perhaps it's not the WND site that's the problem.  

Now about this pedofile link.   Don't disregard it out of hand.  Transgender's only represent 0.03% of the population, yet their bathroom rights has created an uproar.  

 

 

sorry it was vague, I was killing the messenger on that one, but you have to admit that site seems suspicious. I do think it is patently ridiculous to assume that pedophiles will receive some form of special treatment under the law, but you guys go ahead and worry about that if you want to

Does this mean you have officially taken the position that there is no "protection/special consideration" for pedophiles and there never will be ? 

I can't speak for what may or may not ever happen ever, so no...just raising the point that we should probably question information which comes from a site that so obviously panders to the fears of the far-right of Limbaugh crowd with little regard for actual facts. 

Pedophiles? It's definitely a mental issue, what else could explain it? (other than a red guy with a pointy tail who lives in a bad place) OOOOOH YOU SAY THAT ITS OKAY TO BE GAY BUT HOW IS THAT DIFFERENT IF SOMEBODY IS A PEDO OOOH GOT YOU OOH

It's not the same thing, pedophiles destroy the lives of children who have the ability to consent, there are victims.....the only victims of homosexual set between adults are the butt hurt conservatives who are really just upset that they don't get to join in 

awesome source!

Racism

WND regularly runs stories that engage in base racism, often focusing on white fears of violent blacks. The website regularly features the work of journalist and alleged human being Colin Flaherty, who has "done more reporting than any other journalist on what appears to be a nationwide trend of skyrocketing black-on-white crime, violence and abuse." Some choice articles from Flaherty and other people who can type employed by WND include:

The site also advertises Flaherty's book White Girl Bleed a Lot, which argues that "groups of black people have been roaming the streets of America – assaulting, intimidating, stalking, threatening, vandalizing, stealing, shooting, stabbing, even raping and killing."

It got to the point where Google Ads cut off service to them as a "hate site."
