Thats funny.  You usually hear about teams turning on the sprinklers to slow down the opponent.

People calling to see if their tax dollars are being used is interesting.  Guess they do not understand that having a varsity FB game and a marching contest would cost them more to repair than to dry it.

probably some old geezers whose 401k took a dump in the last year.

it is great to see schools back up their athletic programs and do whatever it takes for the athletes to compete.  Great job LC-M

That's not the only reason. The UIL Region X Marching Competition is to be held there tomorrow, and it's a major fundraiser for the LC-M band.

With the amount of consessions that will be sold and the tickets for admittance into the marching contest they will make more money than you can probably imagine....at least more than you would think.  I was a part of that Marching Contest 10 yrs ago and they pack that place with plenty of people.  They'll get their money back for what it cost to run that Copter and then some.

LCM doesn't charge admission. The fees required to compete go to the UIL. Zero District funds are used to host the event. The only money made for anything associated with LCM is profit made by their band boosters through concessions after expenses. Estimated 20,000 plus attend the event.

I bet you can count on at least $5 a person (probably way more since many of them will be there all day)

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
