It's a good gesture and all, but it just doesn't sit well with me that West Brook will be giving up a HOME district game to a game basically in NS's back yard.  In district, you strive to get every possible advantage.  The only thing I can think of is you'll get some big time exposure, such as espn or something.  I don't think that's the case.  The  people from Reliant Stadium gave the invitation.  I  think that this could have been done in a pre district game or perhaps be used as a playoff venue.  Maybe West Brook should have declined...

Ned and PNG did that a couple of years ago with a two game deal trading off with LM and Brenham, but that was non-district.
[/quote] Yes, I remember that, BD.  That's the kind of deal WB should have done.  Key word is nondistrict.  Then, on top of that, the NS game could  be the biggest game of the year for them.

I tend to agree with you Soulja. Why wasn't this invitation to play at Reliant done last year? This way, no team would lose a home game to the other. They would play there both seasons, one designated the home team each season.

Realignment is every two year, schedules are set for two years. These should be honored.

But, BISD and West Brook had to agree to this change, so it's on them.

The main reason for the invitation now is based on the fact that Reliant just went out and purchased field turf for all high school and college games to be played on. Only the Texans will play their games on grass while all the other games are played on turf. There will be more invites to follow now that Reliant can accommodate more teams and games without destroying the grass field.

Something I heard a few months ago.

Reliant did this because the Texans are home the first 3 weeks of the high school playoffs.  The only time Reliant will be available for playoff games will be the 4th and 5th rounds this upcoming year. With the new turf for HS games they wanted to get some use out of it so they opened up 4 regular season weekends.

La Marque moved their Sept. 20th game with Lamar Consolidated to Reliant.  It's my understanding they were asked because the La Marque-Coldspring game drew so well last November.

      Starting pitching has been shaky the last few weeks due to some injuries outside of Hagen Smith.  He goes tomorrow, so y’all should be fine

      West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin leaves Democratic Party, registers as independent

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Manchin may get it but any mention of the radical left that wanted to get rid of the filibuster and end almost 220 years of history because the Democrats are mad?  The House and Senate are obviously different legislative bodies with entirely different election processes and rules for a reason. The House can vote on laws with a simple majority vote. The Senate put rules in place that it would make it much tougher to pass laws. Laws should be difficult to pass. The Senate is often the holdup of the right and left. It takes 60 votes to break the filibuster so any law will almost certainly require agreement at least in part, from opposing sides of an issue. Because they can’t get laws passed, the radical left is like a baby having a tantrum and wants to change over 200 years of history and make it potentially ridiculously easy to pass laws. I have seen current poll maps and it is possible for the Republicans to sweep into complete power in November but by the tiniest margin. That would possibly mean that a single vote margin in both houses could enact what you might call the radical right laws. There would be nothing that the Democrats could do to stop any legislation whatsoever if the left (they are all radical, minus Manchin) got their filibuster rule changed.  That is where the current filibuster comes into play as any new law would require several Democrats to agree with the majority Republicans and vice versa.  Do you want the potential for your radical right to have free rein as the radical left wants by killing the filibuster or is the radical left just as (if not more) dangerous? Let’s see if we have a history in this area? Oh yeah, the Democrats changed the rules in the Senate to allow federal judges to not have to overcome the filibuster. Obama was not getting his federal judge nominations passed and being angry, they changed the rules instead of nominating more moderate justices. They were warned that it would come back to bite them. They didn’t care and chose the nuclear option to change the rules. Oops! Any guess how Trump got all of his Supreme Court nominees passed against strong Democrat opposition? The Democrats got rid of the filibuster for federal judges after another tantrum   So when you are so worried about the radical right, are you equally concerned in what the radical left is always doing by changing rules and history which were put into place just for situations like we are in? So while Manchin gets it, what about his other 50 colleagues (49 + Harris)?  What concerns you more, Abbott and Paxton or the Democrats who want to make it to where if the Republicans do take over, they can go wild… at least in your mind?

      MODS please remove that ISD twitter link! I had no idea it would copy the whole posting. I only highlighted the portion about the venue change. Sorry about that!
