Well, here’s a good start….

Breaking: California’s Kevin McCarthy was just elected Speaker of the House in 1/20th the time it took Arizona to count midterm ballots.

Now that the show is over, we can get on with the gridlock between the GOP House and the Democrat Senate.

Again, a spirited debate confuses Democrats.

I heard Mitchell and Davis were going to play 1v1 to settle this. Winner is an elite coach and loser is an underachieving hack. I got Mitchell...big!

It was confusing for democrats, they’re used to being told what to do and fall in line when ordered.

We don’t overpay basketball coaches. We can’t or we might offend our overpaid football coaches…

Now you are just making up stuff. You are done because you have no proof. As a moderator you should be held to a higher standard and I can't believe the integrity of the site or what's left allows your behavior. My son doesn't have the same email, first name or even an account on this dreadful site. Last year I went to Mike because someone was acting or had a name that people thought it was me. He went to the account 2 times and made them change their name. He even said then he didn't even know who it was. So don't claim you know anything because you don't. You are seriously afraid of providing proof because you have none. You are a sad excuse for a moderator.

They are unwatchable. When Sahvir Wheeler leads you in shot attempts, you are in trouble at that level.

I'm at the point Coach Cal doesn't really care anymore, just collecting a hefty check. Coach Chin coaches harder than Cal these days. I watched the first 12mins of that game and turned it off. I've done that alot this season.

The Trump-McCarthy Leadership Team Emerges Stronger: From the article: "The GOP Leadership team for ’23-’24 of Donald Trump and Kevin McCarthy came out of the speakers fight in great shape. They will have to reenact their teamwork together many times before and after Trump is finally sworn in as president, but it was glorious maiden voyage. It’s not just that Trump whipped his people into line as Pelosi would have, but he did so by reforming the process to make it more conservative, anti-spending, and transparent. Those who opine that McCarthy will emerge as a weakened speaker do not understand that democracy strengthens you. It does not weaken you." [Hidden Content]

Did it interrupt the legislative process? All they do is introduce bills to spend our money on themselves.

And speaking of badge numbers…. About 4 years after I started, we finally got a computer system and started issuing permanent badge numbers beginning with 110 and progressing by seniority. Originally the numbers 96-99 were reserved for the command staff. The 96, 97 and 98 were division commanders and 99 was the chief. Those were not permanent badge numbers but just a means of knowing who was doing the talking. My permanent badge number picked by seniority? 184… which is coincidentally part of my screen name. So my original unit number 84 eventually became my permanent badge number of 184. When a few years later we got semi-permanent locker and mailbox numbers after I left detectives, I was assigned 84. And when was I hired? January, 1984 or…. 1/84.

The antics of Gaetz and McCarthy were worse than Pelosi" tearing up the state of the union address"

If Matthews retires or leaves. Vidor should stay in the slot-t pay some money to the OC at Liberty Hill to see if he can translate the program to Vidor.

Whew, glad we got through that one, I was afraid the country would be destroyed with no leader in the house for a few days.

You guys are driving me crazy, it’s not Groves, it’s THE GROVES! You going to have to take the PNG off your name and just be Bamatex if you don’t know about the legacy of THE GROVES! The Groves Browns Pop Warner program had some of the meanest and baddest boys around for years and years!

I’d like to comment on this Mitchell stuff and to be completely transparent- Mitchell coached me early in his career. This dude got the most out of my crappy team as possible. You either play hard or don’t play for him. If Mitchell had the cats that roll through HJ, Silsbee, EC, etc then his record would be incredible. The big difference in Mitchell and the others mentioned is Mitchell developed a D1 player. He didn’t go out and find one to bring to his school or coach at a basketball proven school. This dude is winning in lumberton, America and is LOYAL! You know how many times I tried to recruit him to a school I was coaching at so he can help my team win. He will not leave. More importantly than basketball, He helped me grow off of the court more than he did on the court. I still call Mitchell and ask for advice in life. The slander around him is ridiculous. For Bullets there is no changing your mind. You continue to have a man crush on Clay over there at HJ and just quit worrying about Mitchell. Dude swims around your dome constantly. I’m willing to bet Mitchell could cure cancer and bullets would be like “I mean he only did ONE good thing!” What about Alzheimer’s??

I have a suspicion they all were and maybe more than just alcohol.

I’m not taking anything away from the HJ girls. They’ve made some great runs and probably should have a ring or two based on talent. But the games they lost were to other really good teams with really good coaching as well. But let’s also admit that Fogo before this year may have had the best HS girls assistant coach in the country. If he’s wasn’t THE best, Omar Sneed had to be on the short list.

Foster is as good a HS coach as I have seen. Teams are always a joy to watch. And the guy would give you the shirt off his back.

They are still playing right now or close to end. Last update I heard was new Waverly was up 10. Coldspring was up 1 at halftime

Kountze girls won 44-36

Now the Tigers are putting on a show. 3 dunks i quick succession. 77-31 4:02 remaining.

Yes

58-26 at the end of three.

Troy just dunked one and hung on for the tech. Who can blame him. The first of many?

I'm here in Vidor and will provide updates

Intoxicated?

I mean im not really here to defend Mitchell but I will say he did more with ALOT less. Lumberton has very little talent and I do think they should lean into what Clay Davis does in getting those kids out of BISD. He really does a good job bringing in talent. Now back to fixing HJ. So say Fogo doesnt want the boys job. You bring in a proven winner and make Davis the assistant. Davis brings in the talent and a guy like Ira Brooks starts winning and teaching Clay how to coach basketball. Davis has had some D1 guys but ran them off. That cat who went to the brook and is now at Colorado. Brooks or Fogo can show him how to use good players and keep them. Also no one who makes alot of excuses like you're doing. We are striving for excellence here!

Oh look, another random account has sprung up to criticize Davis and defend Mitchell. That’s about ten of them now. Glad you could join us (again). Not sure Davis has ever had a D1 player in his time at HJ. Fogo has had 3 at once, including a top-10 player in the nation. Fogo is an excellent coach, but Davis hasn’t had near the comparative talent that Fogo has, and Fogo hasn’t had to play teams full of D1 talent in the 2nd or 3rd round every year. Running into Houston teams or Silsbee in the playoffs every year with a good small school type team isn’t really underperforming. These last two years without their best player going into the playoffs have been the exception, rather than the rule. One thing I’ll confidently say: Mitchell wouldn’t have done any more at HJ than Davis has, regardless of what he (you) thinks. Of course, if you can’t consistently make the playoffs, and then can’t consistently win a couple of games when you do get there, you usually don’t have to worry about playing the AAU all-star teams that have basically ended 4A small school basketball for everyone not named Silsbee over the last ten years or so

Not falling for anything, it’s just blatantly one sided. And the you have bug eyed Schiff telling Twitter who they need to censor. That is nothing more than state run media. I could only imagine the head spinning if Trump had ever done the same.

Yeah he’s on someone’s payroll. For sure. No different than the liberal shills on websites like Reddit. There’s a whole industry dedicated to manipulating and driving online rhetoric.

I think the older Connell kid is an assistant over there now. I’m pretty sure that was him on the bench earlier this year. If so that’s a good move.

9/11? Next post will be shoehorning BLM and transgenders into the discussion somehow.. Another day at SETX politics

Not to change subjects or go down a rabbit hole…but of those mentioned I would take FOSTER over all of them. Does more with less all the others have the fortune of athletes easy to win when you have athletes

That was at 4a.m. The polices weren't called until noon. That sounds really, really strange to me.

They're playing very well and are much improved over last season. However, their 4-0 consists of wins over Anahuac, Warren, Hardin and Kirbyville. Arguably those are the 4 teams likely to miss the playoffs in the district. Tonight against Kountze and next week against OF and Buna will be a good indicator of just how improved EC is this season. Either way, it's a very strong start to district play for the Lady Bucs!

Hard to know how much SOC would travel to Houston...only time they've really traveled was the 2021 state semifinals when they went 3.5 hours to Abilene on a Friday night....Shotwell has a large home side that seats about 7500 and SOC did fill that up

Nederland doesn't have a Groves
