Yes, but he had better win state or else! The clock is ticking.

I think it would be great if he just came out and stated the fact... "I left her off the committee because she's an insane militant nutjob."

Notwithstanding that I don’t like the idea of a same percentage flat tax…. I find it funny that “tax experts” warn about this plan. I will translate: This plan, WHICH WOULD END “MY” CAREER…. is a bad deal! You people need to keep a system in place where it requires an expert (me) to even understand it and charge you big bucks. Conflict of interest on an opinion?

Should ask more questions before getting on here running your mouth about things you now admit to not knowing. I assure you, talent alone has not built the program we had over here for so long. But it does help when the continuation of said talent keeps rolling thru. Back to Vidor. They have talent. They had coaching. They need a new one. Carry on...

I thought since we are nearing the end of district play I would throw out the standings for some of our local districts. I tried to gather what I could find, but I'm missing a game or two for some teams. 21-6A North Shore 9-1 West Brook 8-2 Summer Creek 8-2 Humble 4-6 Kingwood 4-6 CE King 4-6 Beaumont United 2-7 Atascocita 0-9

I was making light of the person who said the coach must win state in so many years or else. That’s ridicules. An elite program like WO-S only has 4 state championships, Newton only 5. There are 62 teams that start out in each division, only one is crowned.

Not all cops are bad.. but I understand why NWA didn’t make a song called F the fire department

It's the ironically named "Earned Income Credit" where they "refund" money to you that you never actually paid in. It's a windfall if you earn little to no money in a tax year, the government will send you a check to make it all better. It's based on the number of people in your household, etc. They can (and do) reach into the tens of thousands of dollars. The best scheme of all is when you work here as an illegal immigrant but "pay" your taxes, you can claim all of your kids back home as dependents and since they aren't American, they have no Social Security Numbers..... and their existence can't be verified. A citizen from another country can claim as many phantom dependents as he wants with no need to prove their existence, then the fact that he has so many dependents entitles him to Earned Income Payments. They literally take their W2s to shady tax preparers (you know, the ones with billboards) and collect thousands of dollars from the federal government. Can you blame them? It's the IRS that's being stupid. I prefer a progressive tax. People who make more should expect to pay more. The wheels fell of when you have top earners paying closer to 50% of their top income in taxes, but get accused of "not paying their fair share" by people who not only don't pay, but instead receive generous gifts from the treasury. And if you threaten to review the Earned Income Credit program, you're accused of "raising taxes on the poor" because you're threatening their gift. It's insane. No one should be receiving a nickel back from the IRS that they didn't pay in. The really sad part is that everybody who cares to admit what is happening knows that those giant tax "refunds" are most often wasted. A down payment on a new Kia, a set of rims, a new tv, or maybe some flashy clothes.... Nobody is setting that money aside to utilize throughout the coming year in an effort to improve their standard of living. That's why the child tax credits from 2021/2022 were sent out in smaller increments... to space those funds out over time so people wouldn't blow it all on day 1. So often those big "refund" recipients just head to the dealership, make a big down payment on a car that gets repossessed within six months and all they managed to do look good for a couple of months and ruin their credit.

You don’t get the success west orange had (/will continue to have if they right the ship) on talent alone. You just can’t reliably have enough talent in such a small sample size for so long and across so many generations to build an entire program on genetics. Coaching and system have so much more to do with it than just “let’s hope we get a good crop this year.”

Same athletes. Didn't excell in new system. New system didn't fit. Mistakes were made on the sidelines. Learning process by both. Expect dominance to return. Someday? This has gone way off topic but it's fun.

And, he washed it down with bleach. 🙄. Liberals, SMDH

Your thoughts, logic, reasoning, whatever is flawed… BIG time! LCM Coach not a championship type coach… maybe not, maybe he is. Took WB to a state game… took LCM however many rounds deeps… you ever stop think teams just run into someone better?!?!…. Nope! You’d have to come down from lala land 😂 You can have the greatest coaches but ultimately it’s up to the players! They put on the pads, they step between lines, not the coaches.

Pays to be poor sometimes if you play the system right.

While you're at it, explain the theory behind 7 years. Why not 5? Why not 6? Why not 8? Why not 9? Also, if you were the supt., would you recommend that Silsbee ISD hire a new head football coach since Coach Smith has been there for 7 seasons and no state championship yet?

Didnt trump try to eat some of the documents ?

For one he flat out lied about the phone call between Trump and Zelensky, simply made up stuff and made it appear as he was reading it straight from the transcript.

This was probably true. But, I'm sure we have different reasons on why this was. Why was WOS the only Orange county school that this was happening? Could it have been because during those times they the "right" coach cultivating those athletes to make them the best talent on the field. And maybe the other Orange county school's coaches weren't able to? We saw a "dramatic" drop off in performance when Cornel left. Also, we saw an improvement at LCM when they got a new coach. Didn't we?!

Let’s not get personal. You can make your point without attacking someone.

Parking has always been a problem there and now is ridiculous because of construction. I was there earlier this season for Orangefield game. Managed to get a close spot in the back and came in the back door. Good to have connections.

Right lol…. WOS walking into most stadiums less talented 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

Is Phil Danaher an elite coach? According to your theory.. he would've been fired at Calallen several times over. Even though he won more Texas high school football games than anyone that's ever coached and reached state finals twice, state semi-finals 11 times, state quarter finals 6 times, and regional finals 9 times. That's more deep runs than many of your "elite coaches" that you constantly talk about. So.. again. Is Phil Danaher an elite coach? Or is he someone that should've been fired?

Yea. You never been a fan of logic.

No, but he willingly turned them in as did Pence. Trump lied about having them, tried to flush some down the toilet and he didnt return them willingly

1 combined factor added to your statement you left out. Talent magically gone for the first time last year? No. New coach.

No genius. Off topic now but I can assure you WOS didn't out talent every team for the past 30 years...

If anything, it's more like a genetic exchange program.

I can’t think of another fan base that shows up to argue “y’all don’t understand… we’re losers. Always have been, always gonna be.” I’m over here arguing that we can be great from time to time if we could get some coaching, community support, and more of our athletes to play football AND baseball. Vidor posters have made it clear that there are no expectations of success in the community over there.

We have very capable kids… however we are CLEARLY undersized versus nearly every team we play… anyone who has watched much Vidor football can see that easily… why is it so hard to see that Mathews and his system has helped Vidor see VASTLY more success than at any other time in their history… just the last 12 years alone were far more successful than any other 12 year period in Vidor history… 68-56… 7 playoff appearances and two district titles (one in 5A)… We’d love to see deep playoff runs every year… but Vidor just like nearly all other high schools for a number of reasons hasn’t had that kind of success for a number of reasons the way some of you are acting you’d think Vidor was the only team in Region 5 that doesn’t go 3 rounds every year… heck I don’t even remember when some of these schools were relevant… Lumberton put together a nice run this season and looks strong for one more season… but overall they’ve been her cellar dweller for the last couple decades… BC has struggled to find any solid footing and apparently they brought in a wizard to bring them back to the promised land but alas even the highly touted gurus can’t turn them around… so I’d love to see that magical combination of talent, speed, size, coaching, and attitude hit Vidor… but it’s just not as simple as some of you paint it

It's not JUST about wins and losses. I know it's the nature of the business but sometimes it shouldn't be. Sometimes it truly is an unfavorable district/classification, in which the season would be completely different if not the case. Sometimes strong senior classes graduate. Sometimes good athletes decide not to play for whatever reason. Sometimes rival teams get a transfer or more. Or... sometimes you just don't have the horses. The best trainer in the world won't win a horse race with a donkey. None of that is the fault of the coach, yet that's who gets the blame every time. I agree it's on their shoulders but all factors should be considered.

It’s unbelievable how miserable people are and unwilling to congratulate a man on job well done. Coach Mathews did a phenomenal job as AD/HC for Vidor but a few select individuals always want to talk about wins and loses… and before those people say it’s a sports and someone has to win and lose, you are right but sports is so much more than being about winning and losing. Sports are about teaching someone to be accountable, a team player, leadership, and so on. So before you chime in and focus solely on wins and loses…. Let’s see your win, loss record (and little league doesn’t count) or if y’all know so much about being a AD/HC let’s see those applications and credentials.

.. come on man. if your cost of debt is lower than your cap rate, or lower than what you can get a return on elsewhere, then it’s accretive to tack on leverage and absolutely the smart thing to do if you’re in a strong financial position You’re doubling down on making yourself look (even more) stupid. Stop while you can

… umm, you think people buy commercial real estate in cash? Youve shown time and time again you’re absolutely clueless. Like the debt and deficit topic where you repeatedly used the terms interchangeably. Stick to your day job twitter man 🤘🏼

You are correct… matched up against two very powerful Lindale teams and lost a one score game to chapel hill when Coach was sent to the ER two hours before kickoff… but you won’t find a 12 year stretch in Vidor history that even closely compares

68-56 last 12 seasons… two district championships… 7 playoff appearances

You did a good job Coach. All the best in the future.

Not a joke but I got a kick out of this. I’m addicted to Triple D (Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives with Guy Fieri on the Food Channel). He was interviewing a potential place and ask them, “How would describe your place, as a Diner, a Drive-In, or a Dive”? The guy responded, “We’re a Dump aspiring to be a Dive”. Lmbo, cool answer.
