GO BOJO!

Muddy. wait a minute, they're playing on field turf. > You fell for the banana in the tailpipe..... ;D

He could get some bumping going on in the background and have himself a rap song.

Muddy.

Can there be a practice scrimmage as opposed to a real scrimmage? ;D

Doty is the QB and will start. I have no idea if there are plans to rotate Desmond in or not. Why should any of this matter anyway? It is just a practice right? Who said it mattered. It was just a question.

It is 18 pages and counting for a practice. Interesting. A lot of it has to do with Vidor and their less than stellar playoff record. This year they have a legitimate shot at the district championship and it has the fans understandably excited. Add to it that they practiced against WO-S and it is even more of a frenzy to beat (even just a scrimmage) a state recognized powerhouse. If Vidor had been picked last in the district and beat up on Chester, it would be a one page thread. This thread may yet go for a couple of more pages. No matter if it was a scrimmage, Vidor apparently looked very good and I am sure that WO-S will be more than ready for Nederland next week.

Ya think?

Not sure about now but back in the TJ days of Memorial Stadium, they had the best hotdogs around going back to the 60's.

Yep. It could be a great fishing pier.

The cars that are upside down on top of each other probably haven't been there but that is just a guess. ;D

Driving in from the east coast, I got into a bit of Claudette. I was able to get around most of it and just got some rain.

Yet another Claudette. At least this one isn't likely to dump 20+ inches of rain on southeast Texas like a previous Claudette.

When the ratings are down.............

Strange that we are almost half way through August and have yet to have a named storm. In the Year of Rita, we had 9 storms by this time of the year. Although that year was atypical, there are usually still a few named storms by mid to late August.

Even assuming they are accurate (and color me skeptical), three weeks is not much when asking about the guy predicting the number of storms for the season, even on his revisions. Assuming the three weeks are accurate for winds aloft, can they tell if a storm is actually going to form, if so how strong it will be and with any amount of accuracy, landfall.... say, within 150 miles, three weeks out?

I have been catching tons of specks at night in the channel but none of any size. I think I caught specks on 10 straight casts and all of them were right at 14".

That could be interesting. Roll a couple of sets of dice back in May and say that it looks like 15 named storms with 4 being majors. Come back in August and say that the revised data (meaning that there are no named storms the first two months of the season) now says that there will be 6 named storms and only 2 reaching major status. Then put your hand out for the paycheck. Yep, I could get into storm forecasting.

None whatsoever. They make preseason predictions and then a couple of times a year they revise them (If they are accurate, it makes you wonder why they need to be revised). Much like the spaghetti models for storms, they are mostly meaningless and all over the map. Even if you like one particular model over another, it will change so radically from day to day that to read anything into it more than 12 hours out is not worth the paper it is printed on. These are guesses (hopefully educated) at best by looking at previous trends from similar conditions. The only problem with those guesses (as your question to reliability) is that no one knows what will actually happen. Maybe when El Nino happened in the last 50 year along with a certain average daily temperature in the Atlantic, it produced an average number of storms. The average is true but it means no more than a guy battering .350 in the major leagues when he comes to the plate each time. Past averages, no matter how factual, mean nothing to this trip at the plate. He might get a hit, a home run, walk or hit into a double play. Well we are at the plate and past averages mean nothing. We might hit a home run (no storms), get a base hit (a couple of storms but no major and none hit the US), walk (a small storms hits) or strike out (get a direct hit from a major storm). And now the windup and the pitch..........

Yes, the Bulldogs are included. Interesting--since a lot of polls out there have Corrigan-Camden ahead of the 2A teams in this ranking, that either means C-C will be relatively weaker or Anahuac, New Waverly and East Chambers are going to be relatively stronger (than those other polls are saying). Which is it? Also, which 2A districts are included in this poll? All of Region 3? Time will tell. That is the great thing about polls, they are nothing but someone's opinion and a new one will come out the next week so they can correct their mistakes... I mean opinions. ;D

That is the good thing about the beginning of the season. Everyone is in line for the state championship.

The answer is obviously yes. There should be at least 6 cameras installed in every high school stadium in Texas. There needs to be two extra refs at each game for the replay with one on the field and one in the press box. All of this added expense can come at no cost to Texas taxpayers and can be funded by the economic stimulus package.

You caught cabbage?

That's the word that I heard.

I would agree with that. I think a tough schedule is better but a new coaches doesn't have to schedule 3 or 4 top 10 teams to build his program. At some point though, you do your team no good by playing teams that you can sleepwalk through.
