[quote name="Bugler" post="823957" timestamp="1281333084"] On other forums that I'm on, you are able to see who gave you a "+" or a "-" for your post. Is there such a feature here for the karma? [/quote] Dont think so...... If we had that feature, we would have to have a dedicated thread for arguments  ;D

[/quote] Obviously I have specifics, just trying to make sure I'm not the one reaching with my belief! So to clarify your opinions a little more. If a kid is arrested for theft, or passession of drugs, gone to jail for truancy, they should not be allowed to participate........period! There should not be a form of punishment by the coaches, then allowed to play in ANY of these examples....correct? [/quote] Truancy is a school issue like acting up in class or a discipline problem. That should be up to the school and the coach. While it is true that you can be arrested for truancy, you can also be arrested for disrupting the classroom or failing to signal a turn while driving to school. In fact, every citation issued by an officer is an arrest but you are released on your own recognizance. I don't think kids should lose UIL privileges for citations. Those are not serious issues and are between the schools and coaches. I was talking about (and thought that I said) robberies, selling drugs, using drugs and other serious crimes. If you are selling dope, you should not be allowed the privilege to play sports or UIL sponsored events. If you are committing armed robberies... same answer. Breaking into homes? See Ya! [/quote] Thanks for the clarification! As I said, I do have specific circumstances of interest. All those examples are "actual" and of course accompanied by police reports by way of the public information act. The other side is evident due to 2 a days starting and these players are on the field. When asked about that, Im only told that its a internal issue and they will be punished by the AD (Head football coach) before being allowed to play! On the otherhand a cheerleader (JV) was kicked off the squad for missing a 15-20 minute (Varsity) pregame event of running through a runthrough poster with young children. This was due to the "constitution" stating the rules. I dont have issues with the cheerleader being removed (it was the rule) just cant figure out how the ISD allows the football players to play with arrest records, or why the AD should allow it either! By the way, these issues have been taken up with reps from the ISD, basically I was told the Cheerleaders have a constitution and athletics does not! So the next step would be? Public forum (with names and paperwork to prove it) Local paper....how do you stop this double standard? [/quote] If you can get all the documents and they are public record, go to the media.

[quote name="baseballrocks" post="817480" timestamp="1278817639"] It is really a shame that most of you cant see that the Jasper coach was taking up for his kids just like if some one was doing your kid wrong and hopefully you would take up for them just like he was because it was a bad call and he took up for his kids and by the way he is such a good coach and has trained his kids so well and they know what he expects that he doesnt have to be there for them to win district 12 championships and he is a great coach and he stands behind his kids 110% and they know that and they respect him for that and always will for years to come and i have no problem with him coaching any child of mine anytime. And If your child was playing a championship game would you not try your best to see him, like you people have never broken a rule or a law, not likely. [/quote] All those words, 2 periods and 1 comma.    ;D

haaaaaaaa ;D  ;D    ;D  ;D

I never get to see ANYTHING  :'(  :'(

[quote name="Bucster" post="815934" timestamp="1278153221"] This thread should be retitled to "The older I get, the better I was"  ;) [/quote] thats some funny stuff

So, did anyone go fishing?

How did I become the subject of this joke?  ;D

[quote name="tvc184" post="814768" timestamp="1277595352"] Well, what's the poop? Who won? Any fish to speak of? Big fish? Surely someone in the tourney has a smart phone.  :D [/quote] Bullets and I came in 2nd place.....actually there were only 2 boats, vp's boat and my boat. It looks like the 5-6 boats that said they would do it where no shows.........which would have been some good information to know since I got very little sleep last night preparing for a tournament where only 2 boats showed up.....and one was mine  >:( I had a good time, but if the people that commited would have called and canceled in advance, maybe we could have made different plans, put more than 2 people in a boat, etc.... Now that I'm through venting, VP did it again with 2 fish, one of them over 6 pounds...I think 6.7 or close to it. The other was 15". I had one that went 15". So, 2 years in a row I give my money to VP.... ;D

Me to....................Bullets and I are in

I'm gonna try to make dinner.......I'm working in Orange this week, so it depends on what I get done tomorrow.  We gotta get up EARLY!

[quote name="82 5A State Champs" post="813543" timestamp="1276870341"] There shouldn't be an issue underneath the stands because they poured under-reams like 30 ft. deep. This should prevent the concrete from shifting. [/quote] Cool...... I thought you needed to do soil samples to know how deep to make the under-reams..... Anyone know?

So, if there is issues with the ground (foundation) on the playing field, what about the soil under the concrete under the stands?  If they didnt do soil samples, then how did they prepare the concrete?  Is there going to be issues in 5 years?

My son took away sooo much from this camp.  You have to know my son....but: He was so excited after Friday night, he went to bed at 10:30PM (camp ended at 9PM) Woke up his Mom at 7:00AM Sat. morning, had already took a shower, fixed his hair, fully dressed and ready to go. He don't get up that early Christmas day!  ;D hats off to a great camp!

Some of you should look at the mood of "westend1's" post.  He makes his points without insults.  There is a way to communicate without attacking.......... ;)
