Probably not, but it does make sense in some ways.  If Manziel falls to the second round it wouldn't be a bad to have a backup to Romo for not as much money.  Especially coming off back surgery.  Give him some time to mature and learn.

I was listening to 97.5 and they called it right when they called Harden the Tin Man.

  I doubt that most parents know (they may suspect) what all goes on after prom.   I am glad my mom didn't know what I did after prom!  :) .   I agree with Hippy, if I found out my daughter did something like this it would be handled at home.   :angry:

The Board has no skin in the game other than potentially not allowing them to go to prom, since it didn't occur on school property. As far as the kids go, can they be cited after the fact ?

  Doubtful.  The Feds don't give freebies.  They rolled on someone for the reduced sentence and we will see some more indictments/raids come down.  How high will it go?  I guess we will see.

    There are at least 4 million reasons.

  I don't know,  seeing that video is pretty powerful and seeing it for real would probably wake some of them up.  Same thing with the scared straight program where they bring in at-risk teens and show them what jail is really like.

I think all kids in High School should see this, it is a mock DUI situation that is put on at schools across the area to illustrate the effects of drinking and driving as part of the Shattered Dreams Program.  This one is put on at Hardin Jefferson High School , with participation by local fire, EMS and Sheriff's departments.  Strong stuff.  Here is the link to the video and article.     [Hidden Content]     [Hidden Content]

  Exactly.  The board is not the final authority on anything now.  The conservator has veto authority on any decisions.   [Hidden Content]   [Hidden Content]

  Probably thought she could avoid prosecution.  Wont work though.

  No, their not.  The conservator is in control now, and they will be unemployed very soon.  The board of managers and new super will be in place by June 15th.
