It's very simple. Why employ 25 when 10 can do the job just as efficiently?

The city should have the same feeling it had when United won , but it definitely doesn’t and that’s a whole other story

Congratulations to Kennendale. My old college roommate is the school board president ✊🏿

Dr. Jackson has stated it will be ready for graduation this year. That’s right in the 18-24 month window that was originally proposed. I’m sure the kids will be excited & be able to say they were the first graduating class in the new stadium.

This gotta be the most senseless thread, and the most traffic that H-D has gotten since the HDbobcat55 days.

That concludes Day 1 of state championships. Tomorrow will be 3A DI & DII and 4A DI & DII championships. First game tomorrow will be the Kountze/Paradise game and it will have it's own game thread.

I’m still trying to figure out where the haters went? Win or lose tonight, I think we can stop with the Alvin Brooks slander at this point.

I saw this on X: "For some reason when JoeBama was firing workers for refusing the vaccine, not one Democrat spoke up. But firing federal workers for wasting taxpayer money is the end of democracy as we know it according to the democrats." Now, would this be the definition of hypocrisy?!

Should people get to keep their jobs even if they aren't needed? they're downsizing and eliminating wasteful and unnecessary programs, and eliminating unneeded and redudant positions in necessary programs. it works exactly the same way the private sector does. If a hospital closed its cardiology dept would they keep paying cardiology nurses and doctors? It's kind of funny how concerned the left is about jobs being cut now. I never heard a word about it in 2024 when 20.3M American employees were laid off across the country.

This is great news for the Repub's in midterms and 2028. Come on AOC, show us your karate chop move

I hate that people lose a job but those decisions are made everyday in every job sector there is. I am in oil and gas, I have been through lay offs, had to hustle to find work with bills, kids and wife worried. No one was crying on a message board for me and I would not want them to. In my work, we hire contract guys to do some of the work for us. They are brought in with a timeline and work that needs to be completed. When it is done they are laid off and find another contract. If I kept guys on after the contract was over because I felt bad for them, our company would go bankrupt. Sort of like our government is doing right now. The government has a bunch of workers (hundreds of thousands) that basically have no oversight. They are not bad people but they have a system they can play. Many people on the left do not understand why we wanted a Donald Trump in office. The argument always was "he has no political experience". EXACTLY, look what decades of 'political experience' has gotten us. We need a business mind and model to make government efficient. If companies in the private sector were run like the government, the would not last 3 or 4 years.

I don't understand why they don't see doing the same thing is not going to change anything. Trump has not changed his approach since 2015 when he announced he was going to run. Today he is more popular than he has ever been......Democrats are polling at all time lows....... I hope they don't, but Democrats need to admit they were supporting and focusing on the wrong things. Trump has hit the things most people care about, and that is why he won every swing state and picked up votes in EVERY demographic.....as he says, common sense stuff......

I stood on business!!

All it takes to be a rising star in the communist party is a big mouth and no policy.

workbootz is the King of the 2025 Basketball Pickems. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Sioux City was marching but Renegades intercept it and run the clock out. Beaumont 49 Sioux City 46 FINAL

Thanks for all you do or have done it is much appreciated.

Big ups to Kountze & Beaumont Westbrook for handling theirs.

We know.

Birdville just fouling now!!! 61-56 WB and going back to the line!

60-56 WB!!!!!!

Number 5 for Kountze and Coach Jouberts 3rd

I’m pretty sure this is Joubert’s 3rd Title as HC

28 to 14 at the half. Bubba Hill was the other running back. Goslin is what Baytown junior and Horace Mann junior mascots were. Red goslins and green goslins. A gosling is a young goose. A Gander is a male goose, hence the phrase what's good for the goose is good for the gander Horace Mann is now the gators and Baytown junior is just goslins.

Needed Kountze to cover. Business is business.

No problem.........I was there when we beat powerhouse LaPorte in the dome. I remember LaPorte's offense sitting in the stands before warmups eating hotdogs. That being said, that was the best backfield in high school I have ever seen. They all signed with OU if I remember correctly.

Congrats Lions! 🏆 Heck of a year when the ladies and gents both win it all. That's Kountze basketball!🏀

I agree. Wonder what change made it that way?

Congratulations Kountze TX...409.. 🫠

REL still holds their own, Finn’s 37-33 in his time there so far. Folks don’t seem to realize that. GCCISD will end up consolidating the High Schools, but we’re still years away from it. First off, they have to get a Bond passed to rebuild RSS. After that, and after the rebuild, then they’ll pitch the consolidation as a cost-saving measure. It’s probably 5-10 years away. Thats the only way it’ll ever get done. The Board telling voters that there’s no choice left but to consolidate due to budget woes. GCCISD is headed into year 3 of budget cuts for 25-26 and are already saying that 26-27 will be a 4th year of cuts with no relief on the horizon. Until then there’s not much for the 3 football programs in Baytown to do but play the cards they’re dealt. REL does pretty well considering. With a former REL OC running the show at GCM maybe they’ll find a way to get 2-3 wins next season or maybe not but we’ll see. RSS has a good possible interim HFC in Coach Launius, hopefully they can find a way to at least tread water this season. After that, UIL redraws Districts again and 9-5A-1 might get a little easier for them. One more thing. When folks talk about too many folks wanting to keep REL, I think they mistake why that is. I think folks assume things about other folks without walking a mile in their shoes. REL over the last few years has been the High School with the highest test scores and lowest number of fights. 6 of the Seniors on the football team made Academic All-State Honorable Mention this school year. None from RSS or GCM. Folks in Old Baytown, (and I actually live there so I know), don’t want to send our kids to RSS where the foundation of the building is crumbling or all the way out to GCM where it’s extremely overcrowded and a total mess as a result. REL is where we prefer to send our kids.

Should be able to. Not playing in my thursday night poker game because i'm going to a (much more lucrative) friday night game tomorrow.

By and large most presidential addresses I have watched no matter what side the President was from all congress people were generally cordial. There are outliers from both camps but MTG acting a fool at one of Biden's addresses is not equivalent to what went on last night. What the world saw yesterday was an entire group that could not show an ounce of humility when a 13 year old boy that has survived brain cancer is introduced and given an honorary membership. Pelosi could not stop grinding her gums and wondering where her next drink was. To be clear, I am not outraged, I could really care less because every time these petulant little kids (liberal congress people) throw their tantrums more voters are pushed to our side. With midterms in the not so distant future, I hope Al Green does more Al Green stuff and the women in pink that support boys in girls sports keep pushing their transgender ideology. The grown-ups in the room will continue negotiating an end to the Ukrainian War, working on bolstering the economy, uncovering the money laundering and misuse of taxpayer money .

You saw that too?! My wife found the episode much more interesting than my history lesson of the Four Horsemen of HD…

You see what I said about the hire!

Ugh.. brain dead tweets on its own is one thing. But now we have higher inflation, consumer confidence and spending down, lower GDP growth forecasts, and a stock market giving back all its gains But Mexican people are getting deported so it’s all good right guys

Pirate win and Rudy's sold out of kabobs... Great day to be a Pirate!

I'll be at the game today. But more importantly, be hitting the poker room at the Nugget afterwards.

I am not sure he will come back. He is tied in with Tyner pretty tightly and baseball.

No one is "villifying real workers". You are listening to all the hysterical lies told on CNN and MSNBC. Trump is cutting out all the waste, fraud, and abuse. He targets those employees sitting at home everyday watching TV in the their pajamas collecting free pay. There is a real easy solution. Just like the pipeline workers were told, they all just need to "learn how to code". Problem solved!

Getting close to wrapping up....final round may have been today....my sources say either a current Houston area 6A HC or the internal candidate.... I know a head coach in the Lubbock area interviewed and a coordinator from a powerhouse in NE Texas who had ties to Huntsville also were among the candidates who interviewed

I agree

I think it's a possibility but unlikely. Maybe a play in for McNeese

Best game so far

I’m sitting right behind the Kountze bench and right in front of the Paradise main fan section. They do not like the physical defense being played.

Couldn't agree more. Been preaching this for several years now. My daughter agrees as well.
