    Your points are understood and I agree with this.
    One additional note...concerning the WO-S/LCM item...for any complaints made about players transferring from LCM to WO-S, you must put this into perspective. Historically, there have been MANY more students who have transferred OUT of WO-S to LCM for football reasons than the other way around. It's not because they want so bad to play for LCM. The reason is they could not meet the demands of WO-S football practices and coaches discipline. There are countless examples of this.

    In Texas all posession is illegal. May be decriminalized and only ticket but I can only imagine how big the fines would be. In one case, a paraphernalia fine was over $600. That was an expensive zigzag.

    I think when it comes to the playoffs, both teams should have the opportunity to have the ball in OT, regardless if the first possession is a touchdown. Then if it's still tied, then next team scores wins.

    Don't forget to give the drummer some. I saw there drum feature in the playoffs. I was impressed considering how far they have come in the last 5 years or so.

    You are correct, sir. A few years back, two new coaches joined the WO-S staff - one from a school near Austin and another from a local school (in fact, a district rival). After their first days of practice and workouts, both coaches made the statement that if their former schools ran practice like WO-S does, half the team would quit the first day. Furthermore, one of the coaches (from the district rival) said he and other coaches on his former staff used to talk among themselves wondering if WO-S was doing something improper which would explain why they have consistently good teams every season. After his first few days experiencing practices with WO-S, he concluded there was nothing improper, it's simply "the WO-S kids are just tougher kids than the ones at my former school (his words)."

    Most of my personal comments many of you know already, but we do have new posters, so I’ll repeat them.
    I graduated in the early 60’s from high school.  Served in the Army from 65 to 67.  Right in the middle of the new drug culture.  I’ve never used mj.  Been with people who did, but I was vehemently against it, and stayed that way until about 68 years old.  I finally realized that outlawing it was useless.  Like prohibition, it’s not working, no matter how much money we throw at it.  I still don’t use it because it’s against the law in Texas.  I wonder why Texas doesn’t legalize it, and take the money out of the hands of the Cartels?  Texas prides itself on personal independence.  Less Govt.  So why not legalize it?  Perhaps for the same reason our Fed Govt. doesn’t remove it as a Sch 1 narcotic.  As this article shows, many seniors are getting off their expensive medicines and using mj in lieu of them, for pain, depression, anxiety, etc.  So, follow the money.  Big Pharmaceutical Giants are starting to lose money.  Since so many in Congress are supported by these giants of industry, they fail to do the right thing.  The Opiod Crisis is reportedly taking so many lives now.  Could legalization of mj lower opiod use, as I’ve been speculating?   According to this article, opiod use has been reduced 14% in states that have legalized mj.  Anyway, I’m one staunch conservative that has at least one liberal view.  Hope you take the time to read this with an open mind.

    No it wasn't to be taken literally. Apparently I must have touched a nerve. But I do believe in global warming. Man made or not, we are in a time of climate change. It has taken millions of years for our earth to be in harmonic balance. And our industrialized society is not working in conjunction with her needs. Take it however you want. It's just a non informed layman's opinion. Please enlighten the rest of us.

    divide and conquer DEFINITION 
    the policy of maintaining control over one's subordinates or subjects by encouraging dissent between them.
    Goerge Washington opposed political parties. And not since before Lincoln has there been a president that wasn't dem or rep. Funny that since the time of the civil war, politics has been divided into 2. The 2 party system is meant to divide the American people. It's not just rich and poor, or black and white anymore. Now its reds and blues like bloods and crips. Pick a side or don't even bother. What about those of us stuck in the middle? These 2 gangs have held the American people hostage for long enough. But we have no one to blame but ourselves. These career politicians are not in touch with real people. We need new fresh ideas from people who have actually been affected by they're indecisions to institute real change. I saw a story recently about a young newly elected freshman congressperson. After being furloughed during the last shutdown, she decided to do something about it. One thing I noticed was that she said she only had 2 years to make people's lives better. What if it was like that for all of them? Why don't they have term limits?

    At this point, it doesn't matter who did what. Guilty or not, the truth will come out and his day will come. But at what cost to the American people. I have lost all trust in the government and won't believe it either way. Trump was elected because we are tired of politics as usual. Remember drain the swamp. Everyone knew he was going make plenty of enemies. Washington is doing everything to stop trump and nothing for a solution. Neither side wants to compromise. They are not working for the people and they are still getting paid. There are too many flaws with the system.

    There’s no official award. It’s not an official UIL thing, just something a bunch of historians and statisticians follow very closely and a lot of others do too. WO-S has actually had the highest on and off since surpassing Odessa Permian back in 2004. They just hit the arbitrary 500 games played mark this season which is the general standard for when it actually counts. It’s not their fault they didn’t start playing in 1923 like Highland Park but the 500 minimum and percentage is a way to compromise and compare different aged programs fairly.   
    If you really want an equivalent between the two then compare how long it took each program to get to 406 wins as the vast majority of new programs generally do extremely poorly in their early years with a few exceptions. It took from 1923-1978 for HP to hit win #406 (55+ seasons), 1977-2018 for WO-S (42 seasons.)  
    I’ll stop beleaguering the point but I am a historian and that’s what I do lol. I realize most people don’t care.
