  1. I believe he was an assistant for the entire Sutherland term. Additionally, he also coached at the HJ junior high level and served as the HJ Freshman coach prior to leaving for his first head coaching job.
  2. Did the hanging have some really unusual circumstances? Do you mean the hanging should have been front page because the decedent was an individual of color? Why don't all the murders in Chicago every weekend get more coverage? Arent most of those victims individuals of color? Personally, I think the gorilla killing was way overdone but there is a faction ( and I can assure you it is not a faction from the right) that thinks this was a major outrage and organizations like PETA ( also not a righty organization) demand ( and most of the time receive) lots of publicity in an instance like this.
  3. My guess is that schools base their decision on considerably more than just the win- loss record of the applicants.
  4. Condoleeza Rice I am sure ( since I did not personally hear the speech) that the doubters will say " no way". If she didn't , wouldn't it be interesting to ask her how she feels about that?
  5. Does this mean I should go back and see what else happened in Baltimore during the Freddie Gray circumstance and complain of it not being covered because of media over coverage of the Gray Incident Should I do the same thing for Ferguson Missouri?
  6. " If you are taught bitterness and anger, then you will believe you are a victim. You will feel aggrieved and the twin brother of aggrievment is entitlement. So now you think you are owed something and you don't have to work for it and now you're on a really bad road to nowhere because there are people who will play to that sense of victimhood, aggrievement, and entitlement. And you still won't have a job.
  7. You got no additional response because MY BELIEF is that the "injection theory" has less merit than most of your "suggestions" although the Gorilla Killing "diversion" is close.
  8. I agree. You are right. Deference to the old wise guy, whom I have much respect for. So in your estimation, am I supposed to just sit there and TAKE this guy telling me to leave the country? As the old guys did back in the 50's and 60's? Just trying to get an understanding. I guess we might start at figuring out what prompted him to make that statement. Did he just arbitrarily come up with it or was it a response to someone suggesting to him that he leave?
  9. Sorry, but stating Ali was injected with Parkinsons and suggesting that the Gorilla killing was somehow a way to obscure a black man who was found hanged it considerably less than telling it like it is.
  10. Citing Dave Bliss and suggesting/inferring that it is truly representative of what goes on in this country is EXTRA WEAK. You never answered my other question and it is fairly obvious that you don't have a good answer. Why did the coach ( to who I am pretty close) get told in a couple of instances that they wanted to hire him but could not because having a white coach would ruffle too many feathers? Why did Todd Sutherland not get hired at Ozen? In the case of HJ, regarding their two most recent head basketball coaches, who was it that was better qualified and left out because of their skin color?
  11. I mean you had better stop making veiled threats ( and nobody is trying to MAKE you do anything) The "last time" involved you being unable to post on here for a period of time due to conduct that the board management found unacceptable. Defiance can only get you so far. I thought the party that you support was the party of peace, civility, and tolerance?
  12. Dickie- use some common sense please. the last time you used your "veiled threats", it did not work out well.
  13. If one declares "everything" to be the "truth" he will be right some of the time. He will also be dead wrong much of the time.
  14. Nappy- We know less about Mr. Obamas private life prior to the Presidency than any other past President. Why is that? ( too much Dan Rather, Brian Williams, and Katie Couric for you)
  15. Dickie- Do you think O.J. committed that murder?
  16. Dickie - do you believe that Juan Lopez-Sanchez came here because he wanted a better life?
  17. Yes, those Mexican flags are reliable indicators about seeking refunds from Trump University
  18. Those who are on the left and are enlightened just don't make those kinds of mistakes
  19. Twitter.. I thought about the 30 year business I ran with 1800 employees, all without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures and communicated with Facebook and Twitter . I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their spouses, 13 grandkids and 2 great grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way. I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space. That was before one of my grandkids hooked me up for Tweeter, Tweetree, Twhirl, Twitterfon, Tweetie and Twittererific Tweetdeck, Twitpix and something that sends every message to my cell phone and every other program within the texting world. My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation. I am not ready to live like this. I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag. The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Barnes and Noble talking to my wife as everyone in the nearest 50 yards was glaring at me. Seems I have to take my hearing aid out to use it and I got a little loud. I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time. Every 10 minutes, she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-ul-ating". You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me. She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next light. Then when I would make a right turn instead, it was not good. When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the cross streets and while she is starting to develop the same tone as Gypsy, the GPS lady, at least she loves me. To be perfectly frank, I am still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for 4 years, but I still haven't figured out how I can lose three phones all at once and have run around digging under chair cushions and checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings. The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the grocery store. You would think they could settle on something themselves but this sudden "Paper or Plastic?" every time I check out just knocks me for a loop. I bought some of those cloth reusable bags to avoid looking confused but I never remember to take them in with me. Now I toss it back to them. When they ask me, "Paper or Plastic?" I just say, "Doesn't matter to me. I am bi-sacksual." Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do toot a lot."
  20. Dove- I am shocked that someone as close to the heartbeat of basketball, was unaware of that!?
  21. Then it is your belief that the owner of every other "junky house" in that town has received similar response from law enforcement?
