Never have understood how the cries and complaints of a small minority can trump any sort of feelings someone else may have about the situation.

I grew up with Dixie.  Reminds me of my Dad, who went to every Lee game from 1960 to the day he died in 1999, save for the year he was in Vietnam. 
I can still remember riding around my three wheeler in the backyard in Pelly, humming "dixie" and "are you from dixie?" to myself to entertain myself. 
Didn't even know the song had words to it.  Didn't know the origin.  It was just a school fight song.
I actually remember my Dad telling me that the words to "are you from dixie?" were "we're going to state"

The part that was allegedly "we're going to state" starts at :13 seconds in the below video.

Baytown Lee has changed so much it hurts to look at.  No Brig, the cheerleaders don't do a lot of the traditional stuff that they used to...  I know it all goes back to the people that go there now just don't care.  Still tough to swallow.

Just political correctness. I am sure someone got their feelings hurt and complained. I miss the drum and bugle corps too.

Kinda like changing Battleground rd. to Independence Parkway, too violent sounding.

They were going to name it "We whipped Santa Anna's Ars" but then the font would have been too small.  That sign is now down by the Washburn Tunnel where he was captured.  ;) ;) ;)

    • Heading into the summer and before two a days get going… what are some concerns or positives about your team heading into next season? I’d like to hear from some H-F people because according to some they are the district favorites heading into the season. I’m just trying to pass some time at least until we get our DCTF magazines lol For Bellville my concern is filling some holes on defense… specifically at LB,S, and DT… bright spots ? Basically the entire offensive line returns that paved the way for 3 RBs to rush for more than 1600 yards a  on the season (2 of those RBs will return as well). With all that said Bellville should still be a region favorite this upcoming season.
    • That’s not a choice, it’s the same thing and equally dangerous.    I’ve literally heard (with my own listening ears) the R County Chairman boast in a speech that “the only time I’ve ever voted for a Democrat was when I voted for Hillary in the Democrat primary! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” You’ll never guess who is tweeting all over the place about how we need closed primaries this week.  Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  Escalation of force.  These are concepts that you completely understand and teach.  Whatever we do today, we’ll pay for tomorrow. Impeach a President over something stupid? They’ll impeach yours twice.  Promise to lock up your political rival if you get elected? You can’t cry over somebody else doing it to you… even if you were just blowing a little smoke for the morons.   The old days of “don’t throw rocks if you live in glass houses” has now become “I’m pretty sure I’ve got more rocks than they do.” The frightening thing is that Ds only do it to Rs. Rs do it to Ds and other Rs alike without hesitation.  
    • Definitely does NOT sound like a fit for PN-G.
    • No offense, but both sides do it.  The Rs in Texas want to do away with decades of precedent and demand that Dems are no longer given chair positions on any committees in the Tx House. It sounds reasonable enough, until you arrive at a point when the Ds enjoy a single seat majority in the house, select the most leftist speaker of all times, and the refuse to give Rs any say in the legislative process by refusing to give them any committee chairs.     Experience has shown me that any time a party seeks to consolidate power in a legislative body, it backfires.    What I don’t like is a world where we cheer for Manchin for doing his own thing, but also re-elect guys like Paxton and Patrick when they make threats to R Legislators if they don’t do exactly what the Radical Right demands. Our Rep here in Hardin County lost his spot for voting against private school vouchers-his wife is a teacher. He also voted his conscience on the Paxton impeachment.  It cost him his seat…. Not because of the will of the voters in his district, but because if millions of outside dollars pumped into the race from outside the district and even an endorsement of his unknown challenger by Donald Trump himself.    Why do people like you applaud Manchin for being his own man and then vote against Phelan for doing the same thing?
