[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1242452" timestamp="1344269442"] Question is, who is monitoring all this? I see some "fudging" going on. ;) [/quote] There always is......

This is also going to be the time of year when you hear about the new UIL rules dictating two-a-days, which were determined and voted on back in October. In short, the new rules you should know about: -No more consecutive two-a-days. That is, if you have two practices on a Monday, you cannot have two practices on a Tuesday. -Only one practice during the first four days of conditioning; so, no two-a-days until this Friday, August 10. -A mandatory two-hour break between two-a-day practices.

Shaq was passed over for that team in favor of Christian Laettner mainly becuase the Duke player was more popular and not based on talent.

Usain Bolt is still the fastest man in the world!

I assume as with most fields, that the Vidor home side holds more fans than the visitor side so there is your answer.

[quote name="JWB" post="1242173" timestamp="1344127472"] Amazing!....Now there is a great role model....They need to put him in some Gatorade commercials or something! Someone that overcomes a handicap like that,and compete in the Olympics,should get more attention from the sports world! [/quote] I agree 100%

Awesome story!  Worth reading to your kids about never giving up. [Hidden Content]

Bolt & Blake coast through their 1st heats.  Neither looked to expend much effort.

The 20km walk is another one.  I bet that is great TV!  Why don't they just run and get it over with quicker?  :D

Is Usain Bolt still the fastest man on the planet?  100 meter qualifying on now

All World Series team Jacob Garza-LCM All Defensive team Jacob Pitts- Ned Congrats to both!!

New York beat TC 4-1 to win the 16-18 yr old Babe Ruth World Series.  They were the best hitting team throughout the tournament.

They got rid of baseball and softball, but kept some of this other crap?? Dressage- Go ahead a google it, because I'm sure none of you know what it is.  This horse training event has a 71 yr old from Japan competing.  His 1st Olympics was in 1964! Anything "synchronized"  and where "style points" are awarded. Dancing with the little ribbon thingy and the ball BB gun-  A lady that is 8 months pregnant is an Olympic athlete?

Overall, i've never seen any USA bball team do what they did today, not even the Dream Team.  :o [/quote] They are barely beating Lithuania right now.  Please don't be like Kobe and even think about comparing them to the Dream Team. [/quote]I dont think i compared them to the Dream Team in which i think was the best to ever do it, but answer me this-----> did the Dream Team ever shoot that blistering of a percentage and have a 83 pt blowout? [b]Also did they ever have a close game after a somewhat of a blowout?[/b]  ;) [/quote] The closest game they played was a 32 point barn burner against Croatia in the Gold Medal game.

The host team Tri-County will play for the Championship against New York today at 1pm.  This is a rematch of the 1st game that NY won 8-0.  TC has been on a roll since then winning 5 straight. 

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1242078" timestamp="1344092742"] USA defense has been pathetic in this game. [/quote] Is it against the International rules to full court press?  Why don't they play 40 min of hell, run and gun and sub 5 players at a time after every few minutes?  They have the athletes and they wouldn't have to play half court defense. 

Vinsant made the finals, but came in 6th place.  Still a great showing for the local girl and something she will remember the rest of her life.  Congrats!

LeBron takes over with US on a 15-4 run to take a 9 point lead.

USA scores to get the lead back at 85-84 with 4+ min left

Looks like it will be a hurricane soon and maybe headed to the Gulf.  Hopefully that high pressure keeps it away from us.

Nice team win for MC.  Everyone got some playing time and 4 pitchers combined for a shutout.  Pitching and defense has been great only allowing 3 runs in our 4 pool games.  Need to get the bats going against California to have a shot in bracket play.

There is a possibility of a 3 way tie for 2nd in pool play at 2-2.  Runs allowed is the tie breaker.  As long as we don't lose by 17 runs or more we have the 2 seed wrapped up.
