If just one or the other (Vidor or Ned.) had came off the Ball schedule, you could certainly give Ball the benefit of the doubt. However, if Vidor & Ned [i]were both removed simultaneously[/i], you can bet this is racial Crosby antics going on at Ball. Really sad.

I promise you Vidor or Ned did not drop Ball, sounds like another Crosby situation to me. That is a good question why schedule games and then turn around and post for openings the same weeks?.....sounds fishy to me! :-\

Sorry, I didn't read the post about the Galveston school board.  If that is the way things are going to go, Coach Valastro won't be there very long.

Guys, let's not jump to conclusions. It could be that Galveston Ball is struggling and not wanting to play two pretty good football teams that went three rounds deep to start next year. I don't particularly buy the racism thing because both Nederland and Vidor are racially intregrated schools. Especially after the beating Crosby took for it....

The problem I have with all of this is that Ball did not schedule Vidor and Ned until after the season was over and knew what type of teams they were scheduling, that being said, why schedule and then suddenly drop? Makes no sense to me, its not like its 4 or 5 hours between the schools. If somebody could explain I'm all ears!

I was told [u][b][size=14pt]school board[/size][/b] would not allow [/u]them to play those two teams. Wonder why.

There is your answer. Did everyone miss that? If it was due to "strength of teams" or whatever, the coach, not the school board would have changed the schedule. This looks like Crosby all over again.

No offense ECBucfan but I sure hope you're wrong. I've had about enough of the racism crud.

Oh me too! I really hope things are NOT as they appear, I am way sick of it too. I would love for a plausible explanation to come out from the GISD school board, but I'm not holding my breath.

Even if the undelying reason is not race based, I would have a problem with this. 

First, we all know that all of these coaches have been trying to get their tentative non-district schedules in front of the upcoming realignment.  Now, less than a month to that realignment when of dance cards are already full, 3 coaches (Valastro, Neumann and Mathews) are now having to scramble around to fill the hole created by the decision of the board.

Second, if I am Tony Valastro and less than 1 year after I was hired by this very same school board to turn the fortunes of the Tors around, they are interfering in decisions which I have made to effect that goal, I am spending this time to polish my resume and fashion the resignation letter that I will submit at the end of the 2012 football season. 

Unless the reason behind the actions of the board are budgetary in nature, they are not justified.

Can state without hesitation - It is not a racial thing.  Good Lord - get a grip.  You want to know why call me, otherwise stop with the racial comments.  Scrimmaged Nederland this past year and they were a class act just like Vidor is - think a little and quit trying to stir the pot.

Well, if playdefense says the reason is not racially based that is good enough for me (and that is sincere).  But like I said earlier, the mere fact that school board is "interfering" (if that is too strong a word someone let me know) in a coach's scheduling decisions is troubling to me.

Maybe afraid of sea sickness from the ferry ride. If someone knows why, put it out there. Being a lifelong Vidorian, I'm sick to death of people cancelling games with us or refusing to play us for whatever reason. It's happening way too much lately, the past is the past. Hope Texarkana has an opening on their schedule or we can find another Catholic school.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
