Gracias!

Not my claim tbf, apparently it was part of the filing with UIL. (as I heard this from a Lindale friend not an AUSTIN ISD friend.)

Where did you watch it?

Unless reports of impropriety went unheard, or the institution had reason to believe the impropriety would take place. I don't think the claim would be filled as vicarious liability against TASO. I think the claims might be based on institutional negligence or other types of oversight considerations and responsibilities. Also, TASO also provide legal services to their officials unless that's changed so even if true TASO lawyers would be defending the refs. The article states they are speaking on behalf of 60 reports to them. Also, you just described every NAACP lawsuit ever. They provide the lawyers and resources, that's literally what the organization does. Individuals could claim harm and that literally takes one parent. Libel claims rarely go anywhere, especially when members of the crews names have not been put in papers (note that's why they haven't been.) Also, two members of the crew where black. I also don't see anywhere in the printed text that claims the crew was racist, and innuendo is not something than wins court cases. You cannot claim defamation towards things someone didn't say. Note both the NAACP and the newspaper shielded themselves from anyone of those Libel claims. If I write WOS cheated one time at cards in the paper, and people say WOS is a cheater. You can only sue me for saying WOS cheated one time at cards, not other extraneous claims of your cheating that I never said. I can be held accountable for the damage if what I said originally was untrue, but not for what other tack on actors say. You'd have to sue each of them individually. Hints why I said if a case comes it would have to be an interesting one.

Good luck to the Pug's in this one!

Good luck to the Pidgeon's in this one!

Yea but those 50/50 balls were thrown after Branch had ran all over them and they were keeping spies in, and i think 2/3 of them went to Dunn.

Rumor is someone has videos of a payoff. I have friends at Lindale and in Austin ISD. Getting the talk on both sides. I don't pretend to understand legal merit, I'm not a lawyer and I don't think you are either. The argument from the Austin side is the game was relatively evenly called in first half, then a mass change happened, if a video of a payoff exist then TASO might be dealing with a pretty interesting lawsuit. Lots of Ifs, ands and buts. I don't have the answers just giving you info I'm getting from up there.

Is Austin ISD aware of comments? I'm sure they are. Is the coach a party to a potential lawsuit? Not yet.

Where was this game played? What stadium?

Just to be clear Austin ISD doesn't have to let it happen as, the aggrieved party in this instance would be the students and thus it could be rolled out in any of their names. I have no info on if Austin ISD allowed or agreed to the lawsuit tho. It doesn't necessitate that they agreed to it for the NAACP to bring a case.

Branch and Dunn are both still here and if memory serves they were the ones that gave that D trouble. It was 40+ just to be clear.

The kid that blocked it came right up the middle? Was not a no doubt penalty from that video... The video starts with the snap functionally and from the angle e have literally no one can tell where the LOS is. The kid on the far end of the line looks like he might be offsides, but looked like the defense was timing the snap. Anyone saying no doubt from that video is silly.

Austin NAACP is now investigating this? [Hidden Content]

Agreed then we get to beat yalls arses again.

More film I watch from that district the more I think Nederland wins this one. They look average up there, and Texas High looks a bit above average. I think people are getting credit for being good because they played the #3 team in the state, but that team hasn't played very many people.

Let's see how this round shakes out... since I've heard from BH and the triangle all that matters is rounds deep in the playoffs.

40's and 50's with no rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Bundle up the babes, and get the big boys their long johns the hits are gonna sting in this one.

Calm down BH you have to figure out how to score on a defense that's much better than Crosby or Nederland's. You know those two defenses that made your offense look like quicksand.

So we are faster than TH by enough that it gets coaches comments about it. That's good to know, I think we might have a better chance then I originally assumed. Good luck containing Branch and Dunn

yes

and the 5 picks.

Y know what yall go win this one, we will go beat Texas high and then we can test that theory.

One Tidbit, I don't take anything that happened early in the season with any validity. teams had extremely variant practice schedules, availability, locker room shut downs and whole host of other issues. If Crosby and Manvel player today I think Manvel demolishes us. However, I apply that same logic to yalls scrimmage with Longview. Everyone is grasping for straws to hold onto, it could be that Texas High's district isn't great, or it could be Crosby's district was underrated. None of that matters on Friday and hey we will find out because our districts are playing each other in 2x playoff games this weekend.

The game is outside of the way we played the rest of the season kudos to Nederland, it just changes the dynamic because we play like that we lose by 20+ to Texas high.
