Thanks to everyone for making my point so eloquently. Deer is great, as long as you cover it with breading and gravy, stuff it full of boudain, smother it in cheese, roll it in bacon, etc. You would not cover a great piece of rib eye with breading. You would not take a t-bone and stuff it with boudain and cover it with cheese. Why? Because those are great pieces of meat and you don't need to cover them up with spices, breading, cheese, etc in order to give it some semblance of flavor. I love to eat and cook deer. I make it into chicken fried steak. I have marinated it in mustard and then cubed it into a gravy. I can cook a great stew with a venison roast. I take the ground meat and make it into almost anything. I still think that any piece of meat that you have to cover with breading and then smother it in gravy or stuff it with boudain and cover it with cheese in order to say that it is awesome, is not awesome. The breading, bacon, cheese, boudain, garlic, gravy, etc are awesome. The piece of deer that you have to lavish the stuff on however is not. It could just as well be veal, venison, chicken and probably even dog for that matter. As long as you cover it with enough flavors, it is good. So, do I like chicken fried backstrap? You bet. Do I enjoy a deer roast with potatoes, carrots and brown gravy. Sure I do. Deer chili is great. So is deer sausage in either link or pan. Is whitetail deer an awesome piece of meat however? Not hardly. Now Diva, when are you going to cook me some deer?

Literally!!

It's a good thing that winning is not a criterion for being a favorite.

I don't mind the idea of drug testing but it needs to be for everyone in extra curricular activity if it is implimented and not single out athletes. If a volleyball player has to take the test by school rules, then a member of the debate team should also.

Diva, if you think that fried deer steak is awesome, I need to take you out to eat somewhere. You have got to get out of your sheltered life. I am not knocking venison and I eat it often.. .but awesome steaks?

Fry?

Wow, that is nice..... but it leaves a bit to the imagination.

I haven't gone yet. It is a late January hunt on a bow only ranch. I am really starting to feel good about the trip. I will probably see some good deer but don't know if I can get one within bow range. Gonna give it a good attempt however.

I thought 150 miles NW of Junction in New Mexico.

Now translate that to English.

I don't know where he is hunting but I sure don't see any prickly pear cactus around where I hunt in east Texas.

It will cost him about one day's salary. Maybe two at the outside if he actually had to pay for it. Biggio makes almost $3,000 per inning played or about $25,000 per game. Two days of his salary comes to $50,000 so it didn't cost him much.

Darn good guess. You only missed it by 31 points.

Any place, as long as I am not at work.

What I am shocked about is that we even have computers in this part of Texas to post things on a forum. If the squirrels in the treadmill ever get tired, we are in trouble. I guess we can just go out into the stadium on our aluminum benches and watch the grass grow since that is the only thing we can afford.

Now that is funny. The new kid on the block automatically gets last place. That is quite a concept however I think that Dayton has probably played baseball before. This district is very competitive and has quite a record in the last few years of sending a team to the state tournament however Dayton has the same chance as anyone else.

Let the couple of Vidor fans have their say. It helps to keep the boards moving in the off season. You have to have some sympathy for a fan that has only one thing to talk about and that is beating a playoff team even though his teams hasn't been to the playoffs in years. Maybe it is some kind of therapy. When you have a team that is trying to make the playoffs for only the 4th time in 80 years (and failing miserably), you need something to keep you positive. Maybe this forum provides that relief. Think of it as a free counseling session.

Oh yeah, this is a baseball thread..........

There's enough cholesterol in that pig to kill two dozen people.

That is true since Mosley has been Nederland's leading ball carrier for each of the last 11 years of our playoff run. He started his incredible string when he was in the second grade and became the starting tailback after a senior went down with an injury. No one could believe that the coach would put a 2nd grader in but 11 years later, here he is. I can hardly believe that he is finally graduating. After a little more than a decade of Mosley, we are finally going to need a new tailback. What are we to do? Cameron Bass came in the last couple of games because of an injury to our fullback but he only averaged 6.2 yards per carry so I guess we are in deep trouble. Come on piratefan, you've got to do better. Tell me that your life is not consumed with trying to find a way to relieve your pain over not making the playoffs year after year by point out certain games that Nederland has lost.

We do count it. It is a loss.... a loss that had absolutely nothing to do with the final standings.

I am shocked. SLC wins a game. Who'd have thunk it?
