Good post by fwf. He was anticipating waving bye-bye as he got in his car to head back to Friendswood as their season came to an end. I see no problem with that.

I think it is 2/4 and 1/3.

Rice is okay.

Every team needs to take care of their next challenge. The thread isn't about Nederland but the #1 and #2 teams playing each other coming up and therefore, the "likely" de facto state championship.

Well, hippie was catching them on soft plastics, crankbaits, spinners.......

Obviously they are the big time favorite. This will be a one game winner take all affair though. Get to the championship game and who gets a break might win it. Calallen lost a game in the Regional Semifinal by a score of 7-3. They beat Ray by a score of only 1-0. While Calallen is good, they are not unbeatable and some of their playoff games have been one swing away from a loss. Moody has had a 4-2 game win this week. Again, a swing away from a loss. While these teams are the easy favorite, in a one game winner take all, they are not guaranteed the championship.

Funny stuff. Kind of makes you wonder why, if they can do all of that, why not play the game?

This from a guy whose team walked away with $130. ;D Congrats on the good fishing. Next time, we will charge a bonus for the pro in your boat. 8)

They sure were...... and black females. Not only was it morally wrong but it was much of the time done with indescribable violence and callousness. I've never seen anyone denying it. Does that make up for any transgressions today? To put it in more plain English, if it was found that a great grandfather of mine killed a great grandfather of yours 150 years ago, does that justify the killing of one of my relatives today by a relative of yours?

In March or October. ;D It was kind of surprising how many of us had common friends or almost knew each other in another life. I am sure that I have spoken to hippie a few times at work when we crossed paths a few years ago when we were both first responders. I coached VP's head baseball coach in Vidor for four years in Little League and it goes on from there. We need more people to show up next time. You can't go wrong with most people that are outdoorsmen and that fish.

But speculation drives forums. ;D

It is not 4 to 1 or even close. CNN, CBS, MSNBC are almost exclusively liberal in their viewpoint and more power to them. Radio talk shows are overwhelmingly conservative but it is run by the free enterprise system. How come liberal shows fail? No shock there...... no one is listening. No conservative has been run off of anything. Not agreeing with far right wing kooks didn't turn them into liberals. Far from it. They might go underground or they might stop watching/listening to some of the shows but their political views haven't changed. Conservatives that don't like the higher taxes, do like a strong military, hate many social engineering and welfare programs, don't like socialized medicine are not all of a sudden for those things because they may be made at Rush Limbaugh for a statement that he made or because McCain is a moderate at best. Nope, they haven't run off. They're simply waiting for someone else to latch their wagon to or waiting for Reagan to be reincarnated.

A Bullfrog, 3rd Class.

cause they're white.... racist!! Nope! :D I think he is saying that you are a Nascar fan. ;D

I was there but..... ho-hum (pardon me while I yawn), I was bored.

One left. I wonder where all the conspiracy theorists are that said there were hundreds if not thousands of bodies and Governor Perry has them all hidden in refrigerated trucks. I guess he still has them parked somewhere... and the black helicopters are circling overhead to protect them.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE STILL ON FOR SATURDAY!! I'm going to ask TVC to make a large sign to hold up at the boat ramp. ;D ;D Actually, everyone look for my boat. It's a white BayHawk center console with a 200HP Evinrude. Sounds more like we should be running the north end of Lake Sabine looking for birds. ;D

Tell that to George Steinbrenner and the Yankees.

I still plan on being there in hippie's boat.

Yeah, I can see your point. It would really look bad when we win yet you fish there weekly. ;D

Are we going to have enough boats to fish?

There not.......besides a police officer can use reasonable force to secure a suspect. What is reasonable force to a guy on PCP? You got part of what I was going to say. NEWFLASH: The police are allowed to use force against people that are resisting arrest, even an unlawful arrest. I've been in many fights while taking people into custody. Hitting people with the hands, feet or baton is not the illegal use of force. Every fight looks brutal. How do you fight someone and make it look like a ballet? The issue in this case as in all cases, was the force reasonable under the circumstances. Looking at the autopsy results, I don't see anywhere that injuries are consistent with a "beating". If they hit him, so what? I would have been hitting him also if he was resisting. People that are on the outside looking at someone getting hit always claim that someone was beaten. Add to the fact there there was more than one officer, it always looks bad. Here is another newsflash, the police don't have to fight fair. If there is one guy resisting arrest, the police don't need to send in one guy at a time. This is not television wrestling where points are score and there are rules. It is called, getting the guy in handcuffs. Now if the police overstepped the bounds of being reasonable like if they hit him and he was not fleeing or resisting or if they continued to hit him after he was subdued, then they were wrong. Nothing from the autopsy indicates that. Maybe these "witnesses" saw something different than what was discovered during the autopsy. Knowing about such witnesses in a fatal police shooting, I have seen that some people can talk a good story but when asked to put their story on paper under oath for the police or the FBI (and risk perjury or obstruction of justice charges), they seem to fade away. Rather than hide any witnesses, they need to step forward and be heard. Any takers on odds of that happening?

More like pretty stupid. I've seen a lot worse videos on tape and this one only lasted a few seconds. It was like they were preprogrammed to hit the guy. No one checked if he was actually resisting for a few seconds. Idiots.

The adrenaline effect of the chase. Got to watch the pursuit mentality. The sirens screaming and the close calls with other traffic get the adrenaline pumping pretty hard. People get hit on pursuits where they would not be in almost the exact same situations but without the chase.
