If that.

Not Coop but I would say that you have only a slightly better chance of them entering the Gulf than you do winning the lottery.

I heard that Forney is a no go for sure and his backup might be in the same situation. The JV quarterback may be under center this Friday night.

I'm not always real good in math but I am fairly certain that if P4E was correct 77% of the time, that leaves 23% of the time wrong. Who can tell these days though?

[quote name="bigdog" post="827618" timestamp="1282269893"] 8 completions  for 170 yds?  Must be throwing some bombs. [/quote] Vidor just didn't know they were supposed to practice defending the pass against WO-S. No one told them that Hooks might throw the ball...............

Come on Vidor, win that ............. practice.

I will take your thoughts into consideration however I had PNG in mind when I made the statement.  :D

But that's assuming he brings 30 gallons of Blue Bell.

I believe that is what the link is for.

I am almost surely cancelled out on those days. I work weekends but I have commitments on both of those weekends anyway so a vacation day won't help. I think that I still have 3 weeks of vacation left but those weekends are booked. I know 9-11 is locked up as I usually run my honor guard on a 21 gun salute for the 9-11 memorial. How far do you run out of Freeport? I except it may be less than out of Galveston and sure closer than Sabine Pass. I know when I fished out of Aransas Pass oh so many years ago, it was a lot shorter run to the deep water. I've never fished out of Freeport.

Sounds like food......

Not a bad idea.

Lot of good eating in that story.

It's 4.5A Sportswood.

I don't get too excited about "winning" a practice no matter who it is against. I don't get worried about "losing" one either.

[quote name="Roughrider" post="825513" timestamp="1281831404"] Nederlands defensive front were just plain ridiculous. They dominated the line of scrimmage in a huge way. The Nederland defense is as good as its been in a while. [size=10pt][b]This aint your brothers Nederland Bulldog Defense.[/b][/size] [/quote] If they held any single run to less than 5 yards, it is an improvement over recent defenses.

[quote name="KFDM COOP" post="825467" timestamp="1281824824"] They beat 5A FB Marshall, they scrimmage Dayton next week. [/quote] If you call outscoring someone in a scrimmage beating them.

[quote name="biaplayer" post="825444" timestamp="1281822237"] Sounds like to me Silsbee needs a QB?????? two scores to nothing i wouldnt call dominating sounds like the tigers are headed for a losing season [/quote] Yep. If they can't outscore Kirbyville in a scrimmage, the season is over.

I really can't imagine very many people around here wanting an area wide stadium or complex. Home field is home field and a nice pressbox or new turf won't change that.

Yep, been there, seen that. I could tell you similar stories and they aren't rumors because I was the one putting on handcuffs. Sometimes the cover ups go deeper than you may think.

[quote name="bullets13000" post="823506" timestamp="1281156893"] "arrest" and "conviction" are two different things.  if i'm arrested, but proven innocent, or at least not prosecuted, i shouldn't be punished outside of the law considering i wasn't even punished BY the law. [/quote] I agree if the charges are dropped or you are found not guilty.

[quote name="PN-G bandkid" post="823439" timestamp="1281129448"] [quote author=tvc184 link=topic=71445.msg823345#msg823345 date=1281104580] They should all be the same no matter that activity. I am not sure about the being held to a "higher standard" though. They should just live to the standard of other students, not higher. The standard for society and students should be that you aren't out breaking the law by robbing the local store, selling dope, etc. If other students need to be to class on time, UIL participants should not be made to be there 10 minutes early. No need for the "higher standard", just "the standard". [/quote] I disagree. Extra-curricular activities require a huge amount of time and dedication. Band, football, volleyball, drill team, and cheerleader practice all start 2-4 weeks before the first day of school. UIL Academics groups and other sports teams all have regularly scheduled practices before and after school. Sponsors and students alike don't like putting in all that work just to be embarrassed by one person. Besides that, these students represent the school and ultimately the community behind it. I don't know how things work at other schools, but at PN-G, that is taken VERY seriously. I have seen students sent home from UIL meets for being five to ten minutes late and band members run ten or more laps for things that most people would consider miniscule. It's simple. If you put on the uniform, you live by a higher code. If you choose not to live up to those standards, you will be disciplined and possibly cut from the program. Now obviously, small things like a speeding ticket aren't going to get you into trouble with the school, but I wouldn't get into too much trouble beyond that. [/quote] Maybe we are saying the same thing in a different way but I don't call that being held to a higher code. That is just the rules of the organization. Obviously a non-athlete doesn't have to be to football practice early as he is not playing. If a football player violates that rule, it is an organization rule violation. A "higher standard" is when you do something that is not a rule of the school or organization but of life in general. It is like maybe having a teacher fired for having an extra-marital affair and it going public and embarrassing the school. It is not illegal and it doesn't really have anything to do with the school per se. That is being held to a higher standard. A teacher that is fired for not showing up for work on time is not being held to any different standard than any other worker and is simply violating a school rule. If a student showed up 10 minutes before a meet and is removed, that was punishment for a team rule. That would be like a football coach telling me to go run some bleachers and I tell him to take a hike. That is not a higher standard but a team rule that I will do what the coach says as long as it is not illegal. A higher standard is not involved or at least not the way I look at a higher standard. As a police officer I can be fired for things that are not specifically against our policies, that are not illegal and not immoral. THAT is being held to a higher standard. If I break a known rule, that is just breaking a rule. I think the "higher standard" phrase is sometimes tossed around for a feeling of importance and maybe a way to gain compliance. We athletes or UIL competitors are different because we are held to a higher standard. So is it really a different standard or just team rules?
