[quote name="BigCountry66" post="1307973" timestamp="1351008431"] I agree with the 3 previous posters.  People don't have a problem getting up that early an 8am soccer game in Houston or a 9am select baseball game in Houston.  What's the big deal?  You go to bed earlier.  I always looked at it from an advantage standpoint.  If our team was more disciplined off the field and did what they were supposed to do by going to bed earlier, then we would have an advantage on the field at 8am.  Just my 2 cents. By the way Smashmouth, did you notice the thread discussing your feelings being hurt just suddenly disappeared.  Man, that was totally insensitive on someone's part. :) [/quote] Pretty hilarious...I may have to change my name to SmoothMouth...just sayin'.

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1307313" timestamp="1350937279"] This forum is on borrowed time unless you guys clean it up. No more personal attacks or bashing!!! If this forum continues to go down the path that it is currently on, this forum will no longer exist on this website. It's your choice to make. You have been warned. [/quote] To be fair and to be precise, shouldn't you be a little be more specific on what "cleaning up this site" means? It is ridiculous that the "powers that be" would even consider doing away with this forum; however, if your intent is to police this forum to the point that we have to walk on egg shells, please let me make this humble request: 1. Be fair across the board...what's good for one forum is good for the next. Be ready to abolish ALL forums...not just this one. 2. Spell out what you mean...Give examples to help the dim-whitted...that's what Big Brother would do. 3. Send all moderators to Sensitivity training school. That would really help them in deciding which threads and posts to put on their "BAD" list for review. This is a joke, right???

[quote name="Lamar1996" post="1306630" timestamp="1350865882"] [/quote] I think they will be well prepared for PNG W. Lum R had a good team. I believe that they will out play them [/quote] Bradyb was correct Lum R came to play.  They have a well coached team and the players executed well on offense.  Good luck in the playoffs. [/quote] He was ALMOST correct. LUM R definitely came to play, but bradyb (as I stated) was wrong. It was an awesome game though.

Vidor White is undoubtedly the No. 1 Junior team. Those boys are awesome. Barring injuries, they should not lose a game.

Dogging a team before the game, though...that's different.  Having worked with kids, they know when they are being dogged.  As adults, we deal with insults all day long, and dish right back.  How does a kid that sees this though, (and you know they will) insult someone like Ocho back, since he is an adult?  On the field for sure, but how does that play here?  Maybe an "Ocho gets dogged" thread when he is way wrong?

I was pointing out how ridiculous elhector's comments about the social  harms of point spreads on a meaningless social board sound by posting an equally ridiculous comment about punishing my son for a poor performance.  In reality, win or lose, I hug him and kiss him square on the lips (I'm not a pedophile either, elhector) and I tell him how proud of him I am. We may or may not watch the film together, and I may tell him if I thought he played to his potential, but I never degrade or demean him because of a football game. I have been known to slap him around or touch a hot iron to the bottom of his feet for a bad practice though... ;D
