Thank you

THANK YOU! Bob Byerly was on the tip of my tongue and it was killing me.

I like the idea of the lords prayer being recited from the stands before the game during the moment of silence. I think the fans and probably the students would like it also. But I'm sure some would balk at it and then the authorities would stop it. I wish that the supreme court could be overruled on their judgment about school prayers. Instead the majority of Americans cannot pray publicly even though we out number the ones who don't like it. Great idea

According to your reasoning, the students should not pray either for fear of offending someone. Our God is a jealous God and I don't think he objects to offending others in His name. True, the laws of this land are not in alignment with His but this country was founded based on Christian values, but we're slipping away from those principles.

I agree with WB WOS. This would be THE game.

It won't take much success for most to concider next year better than this past season. Most, including myself, will be happy with any improvement that carries over year after year.

What's the date?

I never liked the Tapout guys but hate to see it happen

Can anyone say, retirement?

Two undefeated fighters in a title fight should be good.

: : I guess that you are at least somewhat correct. Rights cannot be violated.. and in this case they are not. Restrictions can be placed on conduct though. Just because someone doesn't like a ruling, that doesn't mean that any civil right is violated. The Constitution gives no complete freedom of speech, no complete freedom of religion, no complete freedom of the press, no complete right to bear arms, no complete right to no searches without warrants, etc. But I am sure that you learned that in Constitutional Law class. I'm sure no expert, but it appears to me that over the many years the interpretation of our constitution has been severely warped to fit the liberal mindset. The constitution of today doesn't seem to be the same constitution of yesterday.

You are correct that him taking a knee does not endorse a religion. See my previous posts. I have clearly said that it is constitutional for him to pray in that manner. I have also said that I disagree with the district's stupid rules. The issue in court was, does the district have the right to make rules. The answer is, "yes". The coach's response is along the lines of, "Since it is about religion, the district cannot make me follow the rules". He is incorrect. It is the same as in the case from Texas of Daniels vs. City of Arlington that went to the 5th Circuit Court (next highest to the Supreme Court in this region). A police officer from Arlington, TX wanted to visibly wear a cross on his uniform. It was against the department policy to have individual pins. His argument was that since it was about his religious beliefs, he did not have to go by policy. Sgt Daniels was fired and then he sued in federal court. The trial court threw the case out. He appealed to the 5th Circuit. Same answer. When you are at work, the place you work for can set rules. You cannot say that you don't have to go by the rules if it is based on religion. Well, you can say it but in most cases you won't win according to the Constitution. What are your thoughts? If a district can prohibit an employee from taking a knee during student prayer, can they also make it a rule to prohibit the student led prayer?

I recently got a Kershaw with open assist and I love it

OK man, I think your just rubbing it in. Time for me to get with the program and try my luck.

Talked to him today. Good news for WOS. Spoke to Coach Dyer through email today as well. Very good news for WOS and a disappointment to the rebuilding process in Bear Country. Coach Dryer is a quality coach, man, and leader to these high school kids. I wish him continued success in his new position. Whats the new position?

The taks test doesnt affect athletes .. its an easy test .. and if they have finance problems they can get financial aid to pay their entire way including lodging some of my friends have financial aid that pays their way .. so those arent reasons to be down for a baseball game .. and besides once you step on the field you are supposed to have your mind on baseball only nothing else .. congrats on the win cats hope you do much better than last years team did ??? ??? ???

Evidently you didn't bring your A game cause I think she's still with Brad. 8)

Looks like the pitching is as good as expected

Good tread Skipper

There WAS a lot of hype accosiated wit the PNG job. I've also noticed a big diffence in the intest on the AD hires even on this site.

Really strong outfield winds all day

est. $2,000,000 budget deficit and no recent athletic support. :-\

It's obvious what his priorities are.
