He would have been the fastest on a lot of teams. I don't remember many (or any) people catching him in all of the years he played.

Fresh or saltwater or does it matter?

How far are you willing to drive and from what area?

I've been checked by a federal game warden there while duck hunting. ;D

I have heard that they are about to lay a pipeline from the new LNG plant in Sabine Pass right across Keith Lake.

They dredge all along the ship channel every so often anyway. It muddies up the water for a short time but the tidal changes get rid of it pretty quick.

I've caught redfish and flounder there but I haven't been in about three or four years.... or in other words, Post-Rita.

Not completely correct. Retired said for "any other reason than the field being unplayable". Isn't that why the games are being postponed? I don't think these games in question are being postponed because the star player is out of town but rather that the heavy rains have made the fields unsafe and unplayable.

I think they spent all of their money on that new beautification project that was just in the news. No money left for a tarp... but they sure have a pretty new gate to walk through.

The LC-M ship hasn't sunk but it sure is sinking fast. They are bailing water and hoping to stop the leak. If they do, they can keep her afloat but if they spring another leak, they will go down to Davey Jones' locker.

At Nederland. Ozen went for the double play and threw the ball away.

Nederland wins 1-0. Great game by both teams with almost 20 strikesouts by the pitchers.

Based loaded with no outs in the bottom of the 7th for Nederland.

Great stuff outlaw. Nothing more to add to that.

Ah yes, the discussion of rights. A coach has every right to tell his players anything that he wants as long as he does not break the law. The players also have the right to not pay attention to the coach. It is their right to come and go as they please. The coach however has the right to kick them off of the team at his discretion. It may not the correct thing to do but he certainly isn't violating any laws or anyone's rights by doing so. The school board or superintendent (whoever makes the decisions) has the right to terminate the coach or reassign him if he is not performing up to their standard. The belief that a coach has no rights over his players is totally incorrect. Up until he breaks the law or violates the rules and trust of the people that hired him, he can run his team as he sees fit and that includes making any rules that he wishes. I am not speaking of the coach in question on this thread but any coach. He can make all of the arbitrary rules that he wants as long as no laws are broken or school rules are violated. If the school board feels that a coach is being unfair in his treatment of players, they can replace him.

Sounds like a challenge. If you accidentally fall overboard, the fish can return the favor. Adds a bit of excitement to the trip to know the fish can have you for lunch if you make a mistake.

.......... with a flyrod.

The geese aren't gone from the shooting. You can't kill enough of those things. The hunters just needed to find out what part of the area they are/were feeding in. But alas, they will be back by the millions next season.

Unless that is the part you like about being in a deer blind. They are totally different kinds of hunting. One is more like fishing with a few guys in a boat, almost party time. You can talk, laugh and cut up a bit. Like fishing, there is usually a lot more action. The other is mostly peace and quiet, especially in the east Texas woods (except opening day). It's all according to what you want. When I was younger, I loved duck and goose hunting. I sure didn't want to sit still and probably not get that one shot I was looking for. I wanted to go out for a couple of hours and blast a box of shells. The fact that it could be done at live targets instead of clay pigeons was just a bonus. Been there, done that and killed hundreds of ducks and geese. A few years ago, if I didn't pull the trigger at least 20 times a hunt, I was disappointed. Now I enjoy being able to go out alone and sit in the stand and watch nature. I have a good lease so I will get my shooting in and still enjoy the sport. Both are great sports. It just depends on what you want out of hunting.

K-Mart's Sharp brand. I was thinking of the current "no K-Mart" era on that last sentence. ;D Therein lies one of the problems on south Texas hunting. The roundtrip to fill the feeders is expensive, especially now. You might end up spending more on fuel than for the lease.

BISD? Don't tell me that they could have missed something. I thought the admin over there was the model school district.

The best knife that I ever had was a K-Mart Sharp brand knife. I could get it sharper than any other knife I had before or since and it would really hold an edge. I know that K-Mart doesn't have a knife factory so it was obviously made by a knife maker under contract. I am curious as to who it was. The best thing about it was that it cost $10 new. I kept it for several years and finally lost it. I have had many high dollar brand name knives and most of them were very good but I have never found one that could outperform that old Sharp knife. It was probably made by Gerber, Puma or some other well known knife company and the same blade with their name on it probably ran about $30 way back then but the same knife without their name on it was $10 retail at Wal-Mart.

Yeah, right! Anyone that believes that, I have the Brooklyn Bridge for sale.... cheap.

But Hooks would look funny being all the way out on the field by the hash marks arguing with a robot.

What is funny or sad about football fans worrying about losing their coach? I wonder if the people in Newton will be unconcerned if Coach Barbay decides to drag up one day. I guess that WO-S fans really don't care about Dan Hooks one way or the other and certainly aren't worried about having to look for his replacement. Realistically, the WO-S fans will and have burned up the boards when a favorite assistant coach is either leaving or returning. Boy, they must be goofy over there at WO-S, right? That is just the nature of sports. If you have a successful coach, you are worried about him leaving. If you have a coach that is not so successful, you worry that he will not leave. Neumann has been more successful than any other coach in Nederland history in terms of wins and winning seasons. Nederland has a great record with Neumann whether you include playoffs or not. In his 15 years of coaching the Bulldogs, Neumann has not had a losing season. That is a great accomplishment for any coach that has nothing to do with 2 or 3 teams making the playoffs.
