Guys, I want to take this moment to personally apologize to [b]Ryans Dad[/b], unfortunately I let myself get pulled into an argument with WTB and I made the assumption that he was a family member of Ryan Hughes by the way he was speaking, he ISN'T, in that I was wrong.
More importantly I implied that Ryans' dad was, in the words I said [u]"I understand from others that his dad is pretty adamant that he played QB"[/u] if you know what I mean. [color=red][b]THIS COMMENT WAS OUT OF LINE ON MY PART AND I HUMBLY APOLOGIZE[/b][/color]. I have talked with him privately and both apologized to him and explained my position on his son, as I told him, I am a fan of his sons abilities and I think he understands what I originally meant when I said he ought play running back. As I stated earlier to WTB who was in full goading mode, by my saying OUGHT, that is meant as pure speculation, not armchair coaching. Mr, Hughes is actually a very nice, respectful guy, nothing like what I unfortunately and unjustly spouted off. I am actually a huge fan of Ryans' abilities and like I told his dad, I believe this will be his best year yet.
Again Mr. Hughes, I'm sorry.

A good man is a man when he is humble and honest. I appreciate the gumption you have to write this. Sometimes we state our opinions and thoughts, but in a way we didnt mean to be negative.

Commend you on your honesty and integrity very much. We all say things without always saying them the way we mean them from time to time.

I appreciate and accept the apology.  We're all fans and all very competetive, I know it's easy to say anything on this forum.  Ryan has been working hard this off season and wants nothing more than the team to be successful and unified.  As a QB dad, I've had to develop a thick skin because you're son is always under a microscope and sometimes you just have to bite your lip and move on.  One thing I'd like everyone to remember, you can't judge a community by the actions or comments of a few.  99% of the people everywhere are great and we should give everyone the benefit of the doubt and not be influenced by those few.  Thanks again.  Chuck Hughes

Well said. Also, I have played and watched a lot of football and your son is very talented. Lumberton plays hard. Wish you all the best and hope he gets to further his career after this year. He looks to have the ability to play somewhere.

Raideroldtimer, you were not offensive in that thread and I always enjoy reading your comments on here.

I agree with everyone here, it is nice to admit one's mistakes.

      It’s kinda weird…

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
