The Speaker cannot pass laws. The Speaker can control chair and co-chair positions and I believe deny any bill to come up for a vote.
 The Speaker cannot submit bills any different than any other member. 
The Speaker cannot give money to his district or declare an emergency.
So what has Phelan done (since he was the rookie in 2021) that any other Republican would have done? Appoint committee chairman? Oh wait, when the Republicans had complete control, Phelan has appointed a total of 30 Democrats to committee chairman positions. Those committee chairmen can control what bills are allowed to be voted on in committee, thereby allowing them to come to the floor of the actual House of Representatives. The committee chairman are therefore in a fairly powerful position and Phelan gave a substantial percentage to Democrats.
So, what has this Hall of Fame, multi-state champion head coach done that the theoretical rookie head coach will not do? Appoint more Democrats instead of from his own party? I am almost positive the claimed rookie head coach would not do worse.
Your analogy is worse than weak, it is silly. If he wins election to the House again, so be it. If the Republicans again elect him as Speaker, then they get what they deserve. Hall of Fame? Multi-state champion? You’ve got to be kidding….
Again, I will ask, name what accomplishments that Phelan has done that another Republican would not have done in order to get conservative issues past?
 Oh yeah, his district isn’t Orange County only. It is most of Beaumont, all of Port Arthur, part of Nederland, most of Groves and Port Neches, Taylor’s Landing, Kirbyville, Jasper and so on. 

Michael Berry has spent a substantial amount of time on his radio show going after Phelan.  It's been quite the show.
Covey for me. 
 

Cardinals lose 13-2 in 7 innings. Cards not looking very good when playing the better teams.

Lamar at Texas A&M at 6pm tonight 

5-3 win over UTSA. FOOLED around and sit at 5-2 through the first 2 weeks of play. Head to A&M for a Tuesday night game and have the home opener Friday against UT Arlington starting a 3 game set.  

Shame!!

Birds beat UIC in 10 with an 8-7 score. Face SFA tomorrow at 7. 

Lamar drops to 1-1 with a 7-1 loss to tournament host South Alabama. 

1-0. 4-2 win in the season opener.  Don't worry Spidersal, they will lose a close one at some point and you and I can call for a regime change from the President all the way to all adjunct faculty.   College baseball is here!!

Glad to hear that Dr Taylor is very supportive for the Lamar Cardinals. Sounds like he is a good president 

And he’s very accessible to the students.  And not just the athletes.  He and his wife are just incredible people. 

I have met Dr. Taylor a few times and am thoroughly impressed.  If there is a President as supportive of programs like him in the SLC I would be shocked.  

I know you are joking but Sal and whoever else can call for all the coaching changes you want (and might be justified).  But let’s all pray Dr. Taylor is here for a long, long time.  Easily the best president Lamar has had in a long, long time.

Lamar wins opener against Southern Indiana 4-2. Next game at South Alabama.

Sit back and do nothing about Iran’s 100+ attacks on out military but let’s go after Texas’s national guard.

The list of things that can change between JH and HS is vast.  It's more likely than not that JH success won't be the same in HS.  1st and foremost.. 7th grade kids playing against everyone else's 7th grade kids and 8th grade kids playing against everyone else's 8th grade kids is not evenly remotely the same as 9-12th against 9-12th.  A grade level of kids playing with either the grade above them or below them.. or both can dramatically change the success/failure compared to when it was just them.  Not only do kids mature, gain strength, gain speed, gain size, and gain skill (both physically and mentally) at completely different levels and pace individually, but kids actually WORK and/or gain/lose interest completely different.  Forget about the other obvious variables.. like: academic eligibility, transferring (both losing and gaining kids), quitting, reclassification, coaching change, etc. etc. etc.
The situation for a Senior IS NOT THE SAME as that same kid's situation was when they were a 7th grader.  To think so is idiotic.  
It's truly funny to me to hear people make predictions based on what happened in JH... might as well add little league as a predictor lol.

Michigan D-line won this championship. They were great in both games.  

Now it's definitely over. 
 
EDIT: 9:05PM
If Michigan keeps playing with their food they will blow this game in the 4th quarter.

Most places I know have varsity tryouts and if you don't make it you are on JV/Freshman team...both teams may have 25/30 kids but they are part of a team so it's cool 

Thank you.  Guess I will resign my position tomorrow and stop sending teachers and coaches into the world. I apologize for my ignorance. 

All athletes need weight/resistance training. Heck, college bowling teams are assigned a strength and conditioning coach. 
The only sport i can think of that uses no or minimal weight training is gymnastics. That is simply due to the nature of the sport having events that are by design resistance training. 

Merry Christmas, everybody!
