I've seen some bobcats west of Fort Worth....but this was not one..his tail was long and he was much bigger also...it scared the hell outta me at first because that was the last thing I expected to see...but it was a beautiful animal.  I did some research and apparently as recently as 1900 there were newspaper reports of encounters with panthers in SE Texas. Their natural habitat apparently used to be the entire SE United States

I was driving to Beaumont on Friday night on Hwy 105 and right outside of Cleveland on Hwy 105 right about 9:50pm a friggin black panther walks right in front of my truck crossing the highway!! I thought I was seeing things at first but it was a panther sure enough, he had a long tail and was about 3 1/2 feet tall head to paw.  I didn't even faze him driving past on the road....I called a few natives of the area who confirmed that there are panthers running around and at night people can hear their "screams" in the big thicket. 

I called the Big Thicket Hqtrs. today and they did confirm that all signs point to their population increasing as sightings are getting more numerous.  Anyone encounter one or are these just myths? 

Happens just about everywhere.....I remember a few years ago when Dallas Lincoln made it to the state championship game and people were so horrified by their drill team...not that big of a deal really, I'm sure there lots of other things people can fix at memorial than some girls dancing

IF YOU A HOST A TOUR DON'T YOU GET TO GO AUTOMATICALLY.

JUST PLAY AND LET THE KIDS GET BETTER AND COMPETE - THEY DO NOT HAND OUT RINGS FOR THIS ANYWAY. 

GET THE KIDS DOING SOMETHING AND NOT SITTING ON THEIR BUTT ALL SUMMER.  THAT IS ALL IT IS ABOUT.

Actually no one hands out rings..UIL rules states schools can not buy rings for kids..and yes the last 4 7 on 7 State Champions have rings for winning state.
