Well, you're only 38 years wrong. More like the second time in 5 years. Vidor won in 2001.

Nederland's 11 straight years might very well end this year. Will Lumberton's 40+ straight years end? :

If you hit him "perfect", why didn't you find him? I've seen people on my lease shoot a deer with a .270 and a .308 and they ran off not to be found. They didn't hit them perfect either.

Only if I can find a ride. I have several friends that say maybe yes and maybe no. I don't have a pickup at the moment and need a way to get my Honda Recon there. If the pastures were within walking distance I would go by myself but they are not. It's a little far to drive my 4-wheeler from Beaumont to almost Eagle Pass. If I find a ride, I will be there without fail.

Just a plain ol' .308? ;D

Good try anyway besbolbenbedygud. You did not find one that answers my posts but you get an "A" for effort. I said that there is no way to file a successful lawsuit if a student tests positive, thereby denying the student college. These are my posts dealing with positive a test not if the test was legal. I did say that there may be a lawsuit for privacy rights five days ago. These are quotes from the lawsuit: "violate Ginelle's right to be free from unreasonable government searches........it's government requiring an invasive search of young students who haven't done anything wrong". Oops, the lawsuit says Free From Searches and Invasive Searches, also known as Privacy Rights. That translates to my post of 6-06-07 which addresses a possible lawsuit over privacy rights. There have been and always will be lawsuits over privacy issues. That suit is no different and they have been filed before. There are suits in other areas of privacy such as companies requiring a Polygraph/Lie Detector tests for employment. The girl in the lawsuit is filing for unlawful searches and invasion of privacy not for testing positive and having her career ruined. I said exactly that five days ago. When you find one that addresses my posts about a positive test keeping a kid from college, feel free to post it.

I kind of doubt that there will be any large growth in the schools. Most of the workers will be construction workers. They will not be moving here permanently and they will probably leave their families whereever they are. Most will be living in temporary places such as apartments and hotels until the jobs are finshed. The surrounding cities might see an increase in population during construction but I doubt many of the schools will.

Because it is an injury caused to a kid on their field with their bases doing the damage. You can always make a case for an injury since there is injury to someone that was caused by someone else's property or negligence. Your slick floor caused me to slip. Your baseline was not leveled properly and I fell. Your second base was not anchored correctly and I twisted my ankle. Your ladder was not stable enough....... blah blah blah. That is a far cry from a kid doing drugs, getting caught and then blaming the people that caught him. There have been drug tests at businesses for years. I am sure that many people have been fired because of it. Where are the lawsuits? Now we have NFL players that are banned for a year or more due to positive drug tests. They were not arrested, they just tested positive. They have millions of dollars and the best lawyers money can buy. Where are the lawsuits? Nope, it just won't wash.

Stick to the topic and end the personal jabs.

If that is the case then people will soon be suing because the cops allowed their kid to smoke dope. It just won't happen. Spilling some coffee provided by a vendor and it causes harm is one thing. As goofy as that lawsuit seemed, at least you could point to another person and say that "your product harmed me" so I should have been warned. Going out and obtaining your own illegal substance and putting it into your body is an entirely different issue as far as blaming someone else unless the student does it with the coaches help or consent. Even then it would not be the positive test that is the issue but the aid of the school district in the drugs.

I would agree. I think the fact that a new large high school is going to be built has pretty much ended the belief that there will be more than one high school for many years to come. If there was a reason for a surge in population then maybe but I don't see that in the near future. More like PA will lose population, not gain it.

It won't happen and I don't see how an attorney would try to file such a case. That is ridiculous. A lawyer is going to argue "The student took illegal drugs and you caught him so now you owe him money"? LOL.. right. I can guess that someone with a positive test might file an injunction to try to stop the results and to get independent testing. You surely won't see an argument that catching my son doing dope ruined his potential career.

I voted for .270 just because I use that most of the time. It is a good thing that not many people post in this forum since that topic can sure open a can of worms. For whitetail within 150 yards, I think a .223 and larger is fine assuming that you have the right cartridge in it. Somewhere between 100 and 150 yards some rounds tend to start showing problems. Rounds such as the 30-30 are devastating on deer but after 100 yards their trajectory really starts showing problems. A 30-30 zeroed at 100 yards will drop about 3 feet at 300. Great gun at 100, lousy at 300. If you know that all of your shots will be inside of 100 yards, the old 30-30 will match the best of them. Light fast rounds like the .223 will do the job with trajectory and will shoot very fast but they lose a lot of energy downrange. If someone wants to shoot a light flat cartridge then something like an 80 grain .243 should do the trick. If zeroed at 150 it only drops 8 inches at 300. It still carries about 1,000 foot/lbs of energy at that range which should get the job done. The .223, while a flat shooter, only has about 400-700 ft/lbs at that range. Again, great gun at 100 yards and lousy at 300. As for the more popular larger calibers, in my opinion the ones like the 25-06, .260 and .270 are good rounds. They are not quite the energy at 300 yards as the 7MM Rem Mag but they are close, they shoot about the same trajectory and you don't have to pick your arm up off of the ground after every shot. If I was hunting elk at 500 yards in Montana, the 7MM Rem Mag would be the way to go. I suspect that about 98% of whitetail shots, at least in east Texas, come from 150 yards in. Even in south Texas I would bet that very few are taken at beyond 300 yards. So.... it all depends on where you hunt, how far your longest shot will be (either by terrain or skill) and how much you don't mind pain. For east Texas I don't think anyone can go wrong with almost any listed but I would recommend the .243, .270 or .308 most do to good performance and availability of ammo. Toss in the 30-30 and 30-06 just for good measure. I don't believe in overkill but I sure see a lot of 7MM Rem Mags for sale. I think a lot of people like the idea of having a rifle that will bring down a bull moose and then realize that the time at the range spent in pain is not worth the bragging point.

That is about like saying that the parents are going to sue the cops because their kid got busted for selling dope, ruining his chances for medical school. I think that is a losing cause and such a lawsuit will never be filed. There may be a lawsuit for privacy rights or something similar but not for a lost opportunity.

No kidding. A Speckle Bellied Teal, a Blue Wing Mallard and a Fulvous Whistling Widgeon. Great stuff.

So long ago but if I remember correctly, Lincoln won district either two or three years in a row. That was when Little Joe was playing and also his younger brother Kenny who was the quarterback. Lincoln did not have a lot of success after the Washingon brothers left.

But then it becomes a bootleg item and the penalties for bootlegging/not paying taxes are MUCH higher than any penalties for marijuana. You would have the IRS down on you instead of the local PoPo.

It is your choice so you can post what you want but the OP said retired coach. The last I checked, Barbay has not retired.

Yeah. I was trying to find his record to back up my nomination and couldn't find it.

Pretty much. In the days when you had to win the district championship to go to the playoffs, Nederland went 16 times in 29 years. From 1937 to 1965 Nederland was the representative more times than all of the other district foes combined, 16-13. In that time frame Nederland went to the final game three times, winning one state championship. From 1953 to 1965, Nederland was the district champion 11 times in 13 years.

I don't know about their football but they have some great fishing.

Durley had many successful teams and took West Brook to the state championship their first year in existence. In his first year at West Brook, Durley was as many state championships as Etheridge did in his years at PN-G.

Alex Durley.

Ahhh yes, the evil money argument. Why won't the government be able to regulate and tax marijuana if they allow it to become legal?

If that was the game at their stadium, those were some big hits.
