HAHA......you got some karma for that one.........

I never said he would turn out to be ok but... The kid is a GREAT athlete with a huge future and he decides to put all that on the line to go get "HIGH".... it makes no sence AI FAN........you ever smoke a joint?? If you did, you took a stupid risk........It makes no sense, but most of us have made stupid decisions

I hope the best for the kid........however if you just slap his hand he will do it again and again and again!!!! I think it depends on the kid not the punishment.............if punishments did their job, no one would be put in jail more than once..........IMO

Never said it was the right thing to do......... I think we have all done something that we regret. Its just after reading the thread, everyone wants this guy hung. Lazeek..........I smoked in college a couple times, but turned out married with children...... ;D I think the kid will turn out just fine unless he gets life for this crime ;D

Finally finished reading this thread.............WHEW! To all the "hangmen Jurors out there" I realize smoking pot is against the law. So is driving while intoxicated. How many of you have drove drunk or smoked pot at sometime in their life? Even if it was just once, you broke the law. Did you get punished? Did you turn yourself in? I didn't think so!........... Maybe the publicity alone will teach this guy a lesson. It amazes me when everyone puts on their righteous hats and wants to do the right thing.........as long as its not them involved.

Thinking about takin the boat to Sabine pass sunday. Anyone heard how the fishing is? Last time I was out was a couple weeks after Ike. We did well on Reds on the LA side of the lake, near the cut of that bayou. Really would like to find some flounder!

If he keeps the staff it would be one less "change". Most people do like like change. If the players trust the staff and he can win over the coaches, it will be a better transition.....IMO

Come on people, I'm a supporter of Lumberton NOT PNG, but give the coach a break. How do you become a HC without someone giving you a chance? I'm sure they looked at his accomplishments in his current position and looked at his leadership skills. Good Luck PNG!

I think in 2-3 years they will be hard to stop. I think next season will be the learning curve! P.S. In the mean time you can come watch Lumberton ;D In all seriousness, PNG has a great tradition and football program, I'm looking forward to seeing it come back!

Calling YankeeDawg............you need to put one of those smilie thing emoticons dressed as an indian doing a war dance or something!!!!!!!

Good post. Although I am mainly a freshwater fisherman (who uses a 22.5ft CC boat), I do like to get out in salt water during the summers when not at the lake. I think(wish) more people would post information like this on the forum so we can stay proactive on these issues. So many things gets passed and we the public find out after the fact. And I will send that email!

Do we all have to agree with you? :

The only thing in life that you can be 100% sure about is death and taxes. Even Tom Landry started out somewhere. Tex Schramm gave him a shot after he played on a championship team and was assistant coach on a championship team. He had never been a head coach when he took over the Cowboys. But The Cowboys had never HAD a head coach when Tom Landry took over.

YankeeDawg, Hey man, hope you dint think I was attacking you personally. I was not. Was just trying to point out another side of the issue. I was in no way implying to how you raise your kids. Keep the post, I love them......especially the moving icons ;D

Skipper, your looking "COOL" today

He did promise "CHANGE"

wait a second........... When I hear comments like, "but if it was my daughter, I wouldn't care if he was white, black or any color in between" or "A young girl was sexually molested and all they focus on is underage drinking??"....why do we assume the guys are guilty. Is it possible the girl made up somethings? The case was heard by a grand jury and they decided not to go forward. If you recall, remember the rape case at Duke concerning the lacrosse players. We find out the victim made up several stories.........those guys will have that follow them for the rest of their lives. Not fair! and to the comment, "if it was my daughter"...........I would teach her never to put herself in a situation where she could get hurt.

Adults providing minors with alcohol is getting to be a big problem everywhere , that needs to be dealt with. Between 1980 - 1985, we had party's at TJ all the time. Not at the school obviously, but at peoples houses. Most usually had an adult around and beer or kegs. Does anyone remember the armory party's off 9th avenue..........was a blast!! Never had those kind of issues. Its a shame............

I think what your body becomes use to is important possibly. Back in the day, my Father worked at Gulf refinery outside, while my mother worked at a bank. In those days we had no AC, just an attic fan. My Father would find the house a nice cool 80-85 degrees, while my Mom was hot because she was used to AC at the bank. Kids these days (as posted by Shermdog) do play inside(x-box) much more than they play outside. Back in the day, I had to play outside.

How can you trust board members to do their job when they can't even arrive on time? I always tell my associates, I can train you to do anything, however you have to show up and have the desire! It does not look like they can "show up" on time or have the desire!

I guess you can see into the future. Don't count us out yet......we will be back!! Don't make me start complaining about all the hate for Lumberton............you might confuse me with another team......... ;D ;D ;D

Maybe they view those projects as being a higher priority. What makes their decisions ridiculous and what business is it of an outside group/newsrag to determine such? It would be great if folks played a more active in their school boards and fully understood the entire picture. I would be curious as to the parental involvment the schools receive. It is truly sad when the only things coming from a school appear to be negative and adversarial between the community and school. 1What makes their decisions ridiculous and what business is it of an outside group/newsrag to determine such? Because it is a public meeting and this is a public forum. Everyone has a right to comment.....as did you. And I respect your opinion! If I were running a school board and knew we had some tough decisions to make, I would hold a "town meeting" with all the parents and ask for suggestions. This way you may get a few supporters or possibly find out whats important to the people who pay the taxes. I agree education is first and WO-S has its issues, but 6 people should not make those types of decisions without at least a warning. as the say: IMO :-X

Did not know that.......didn't mean to call you out!

We had a reporter there? Make it happen Hoop! That would be a great story!

Well written article. If there is not more to this story, this coach got shafted and is setting a standard for any other coach. The question is, how far do you push a kid? If you don't push them and get them strong, they may get hurt in the game right? What happens if a kid gets paralyzed? I have coached(assistant) youth football. Have I been 1 bear crawl away from jail time? How far do you push now??
