We are worried that the man who owned PayPal, who had unfettered access to millions of peoples personal data is somehow now going to abuse the system now…..smh

Brooks gets career win #100

So it's cool to point out 1 administration? If it's already spent why talk about it and not other wasteful spendings? "They are looking at stopping the ridiculous spending today" but talking about only 1 administration spendings... if what you say is true why talk about it and not just put a end to it? Figured it was reasonable to point out a few administrations wasteful spending but that's just me... I'm sure if Conald wasn't 45th then they'd go back to the Obama era... suspect to say the least

And again, the TV stations got it wrong. Only H-D got the ban. You can't ban a team from playoffs when they were not qualified to begin with. That is Burkeville's status. Even if they had won that game, it would not have mattered. Burkeville had already been eliminated. You can believe what you want. I have been told the facts of the matter from all three sides. My personal feeling about the decision does not matter. I am just stating the facts that were given to me. Pretty sure you won't see a redaction. Not that big a deal to them. But, one of the TV reporters did acknowledge to me they jumped the gun on reporting that both teams got the ban. That was misinformation and a mistake due to trying to be first to report. It's certainly not the first time the TV stations got something wrong along the lines of our local sports scene. Probably will not be the last.

You still don't get it. UIL did not ban Burkeville from the playoffs. They only banned H-D. The TV stations reporting it got it wrong. Burkeville did not go to playoffs because they didn't qualify based on their district record. Not because UIL banned them. Again, no playoff punishment was given to Burkeville. None was needed. So therefore there was no "same punishment" given. How do you not understand? It's like I am talking to my 2 year old grandson. smh

I think their intent is to make the government more efficient, not looking for reasons to persecute an administration. I would think they are only concerned with the current budget of the organizations they are looking into.

Don‘t ever forget ballot dumping. USPS even had to add Amazon deliveries to try and stay afloat. The rest of their deliveries are junk mail. All other communications are done online. They’ve operated in the red for decades. CUT!!!!

When I said my personal feeling does not matter, it was about not agreeing with H-D getting the ban. UIL saw fit to ban them (and I believe there is merit, like I said I can't argue much about that) but according to all parties involved that spoke with me, UIL did not ban Burkeville. Those are the facts. Your comparison is not a good one. UIL banned Faith Family for recruiting violations before the season started. There was no season to qualify them for playoffs. Ban was before the first game was played. Burkeville situation is much different. They had already eliminated themselves from playoffs based on their district record prior to the H-D game. Now, had the UIL banned Burkeville for next years playoffs based off this incident, then I could understand your point. My "evidence" is my communications with coaches, admins and committee representatives. I trust what they told me on the rulings. When all three sides basically tell me the same thing, got to think it's the truth. UIL doesn't ban for the sake of being fair. All their punishments have repercussions. That's how their policy boards and executive committees work. They are not going to ban a team from playoffs if the team was already ineligible. They issue other types of punishments. Which was the case here. You not believing me or saying I have to provide proof really does not concern me. I have no reason to lie about any of this nor would I. I take great pride in my credibility here and with the local coaches. They have trust in me and I have trust in them. I'm sorry that you don't.

Men and Women having good seasons 💪🏾

Thanks. If no injuries then it is a Class C misdemeanor like a traffic citation. In a Class C charge, a judge cannot issue a jail sentence and can only assess a fine. That’s a bit of a blow up for a shove. About 98% of the time it would not even be reported. In maybe an interesting side note, Class C assaults in Texas have two offenses. One can be by contact with no injuries but the contact would reasonably be believed would be offensive or provocative. Shoving someone, poking them in the chest with a finger, patting a waitress on the butt as she walks by, etc. The other is a threat like I will kick your butt. The display of a deadly weapon, a threat of death and so on are much more serious charges up to years in prison so don’t confuse them. Again, an assault by threat might be something like, I’m about to come over there and give you a fat lip. None of that is really interesting however but since this is a sports forum….. A sports participant is a player, coach, official, etc. If any person “other than” a sports participant commits a Class C assault against a sports participant, it becomes a Class B misdemeanor and up to 180 days in jail. So if an angry parent shoves but doesn’t injure a ref/coach/player or says something like, I’m about to jump this fence and whip your butt, it is up to 180 days in jail and/or up to a $2,000 fine. This doesn’t apply to the sports participants with each other. So if the players shove each other, the coaches and so on, the police aren’t out there to start arresting them. Leave it on the field. If people in the crowd interfere however, they could be in a good bit more serious trouble, even when there are no injuries.

He’s still moping over recent events, just trying to win an argument anywhere he can. 🙂

There’s probably no bigger fan of your trolling on this site than me. But this is 2.7/10.

I think Wheatley is a good match up for Silsbee. They do what the Tigers want their opponents to do, play up tempo. What scares me is teams that can control tempo and make it a halfcourt game. I like Silsbee against Wheatley by 8.

Vidor played well for 3 quarters of basketball tonight. They forgot to show up for the 4th. They can't do that if they want to win a playoff game. I don't know if it's the new D1/D2 format, but a lot of these early playoff games look to be more of a challenge than in past seasons. There's going to be some pretty brutal round 1 match ups.

I bugged out right before the end of the third. The parking is a nightmare and I was out in some muddy cow pasture and there was a soccer game and it was raining and the main road out was barred by construction and...... You had a feeling that though Vidor played a really good game they were going to need more than a 2 point lead to hold out. They were battling a team that's played tight games in a stadium at the highest level. I'm looking for a first round win for the Pirates. If they can play this way against the Tigers there's no excuse.
