Are you comparing an academic scholarships to daycare assistance programs?  Seriously?  One earns the first one.  How do you "earn" the second one?  You don't!  You do away with that program.  Personal responsibility has to enter at some point!

No, I want to quit paying for people that won't pay for their own. 

It may be because he believes that paying for their food, their housing, their education, and the cell phones is sufficient "compassion". He may be concerned that we are teaching/incentivizing people to believe that one needn't be self reliant or accountable to anyone.

The party of NO, as some would state it, just had an unbelievably massive victory in 2014.  During the past two elections, obama has lost the most Senate and House seats of any President in history.  Maybe, just maybe, NO to this President is what the people wanted!!

How about everyone that's complaing quit crying and just worry about your team.. Beat the team you get scheduled in the playoffs and move on..

Its the fault of T-ball. No winners or losers!  No everyone does not deserve a damn trophy!!!!! 

Compete! That's all you can do in this life.

Myself, if they do repeal obamacare I don't want them to offer any alternative.  The fed gov has absolutely no business providing healthcare.
 
Let the states handle it how each sees fit.
 
The problem is that too many see the fed gov as the only entity that can provide solutions to all our problems.

UIL gets 15% of ticket sales of every single high school playoff game. Do the math. ;) :rolleyes:

Im guessing a few people complained to the UIL, the UIL then decided lets get more teams involved... Walla  more playoff teams... I had a mom tell me while I was coaching Little League that I should tell the kids after a loss... "we are all winners"... Thats not true, you win or you lose... And thats the bottom line... Adding more teams to the playoff was another idea that has changed football for the bad.. I agree 2 state champions in each classification is dumb.. But im sure it makes more $$$$....

Can someone explain too me why there are 2 state champs per classification? Why cant they play one more week and have just the ultimate #1 state champ ? That defeats the term were the best in the state of texas , now you say were the best in the state of texas in division 1 or division 2.

I just dont understand this . I thought the point of getting to play in the playoffs was you have to WIN . Now you will have teams with losing records complain about an 0-10 team in the playoffs . back in the day you had teams that played 7 district games and if you lost 1 game you may not make the playoffs. Hell , you may share the district title and not make payoffs so i could see 2 teams from the district going . Just think of how many teams up until 1982 could have won state titles or had long playoff runs if 2 teams per district could go too the playoffs ? Many teams going 9-1 , 8-2 didnt make the playoffs , nowadays you have teams getting in with losing records , and now a winless team ? Ridiculous !!! But we should expect this because now you have All district Picks that use to be about 13-14 per offense and defensive players on both sides of the ball make 1st team . Nowadays you have 24-26 players on just one team . which is almost 50 players total on the offense and defense . Then that same amount on the second team and Lets not talk about honarable mentions . that would mean every kid that suits up makes an honor ? Can you say watered down !! So with that being said i guess in a few years every team in every district will be elgible for the playoffs no matter if you earn it or not .

Coach Nail suspended his own SON a few years ago.......I see no problem here at all........

No way the the hackers and problems that can be brought upon computers should anyone have to vote electronically!

Yes your right $$$ is always motivation but some kids can study there a** off and still have trouble passing. Your also right about no pas no play being around a long time. Does that make it right? Slavery was around a long time to did that make it right? I have a son who has dyslexia he goes after school for help he also stays up to 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning doing homework. Then he gets told he can't play football a game he loves or show at the fair something else he loves to do. Then people say no pass no play is a good thing that's because they don't have to see the disappoint on there child's face. Sounds more like discrimination against those that have a hard time with school and grades.

bunch of crybaby pinko commie liberals.........

Down to the wire Bobcat Pride and HDBOBCAT55. 22-21 West Hardin scores late in the 4th Quarter with 8 seconds and decides to go for a 2 point conversion and get it with a trick play. Beware of those Fighting Oilers. Big Blue and Gold!

I can't speak for the rest of the Pirate faithful, but I really appreciated the applause after the young lady who led the invocation ended it with "in Jesus name." I try not to be political on the board but I do believe the vast majorityof Texas high school football fans are made to bow to the wishes of the very few.

Fight the good fight, HJ.....don't give in to these radical atheists trying to force THEIR religion on all the rest of US........

someone will owe Alex and his coaching staff an apology apology after this season

Omg, WH Was Bringing The Wood Last Night. Very physical Game. Very Clean Game Penalty Wise For WH. I Bet There Are Going To Be Some Sore Sandies This Morning. Great Game Guys. Goodluck This Season.
