Yep. Excellent ribs.

Yep. The propagandists are unrelenting.

That's good news, but as always, a very misleading Topic Headline. It would be hard to designate that poll as "Crushing" The truth is the truth no matter which side you're on. It would be nice for ALL SIDES to share truthful and meaningful information and not just self-serving propaganda... Just my opinion, but I think I'm right.

Tried again just now...

Hate to hear that. I'll try again to send the PM.

@ladybug33 I just tried to send you a pretty lengthy message, but it said you weren't able to receive messages.

I respect your opinion and your enthusiasm for your community. I sincerely do. It's also good to hear about your niece. That's really awesome for her, although she and others like her are the exception rather than the rule at WOS. Instead of turning this into a diatribe of education and race and to preserve the privacy of the coach and others, I will finish my reply to you in a private message.

Been wondering about that place…

You’re right. It is a football thread. But dj is talking about how horrible this coach is for the kids. I’m merely saying there is much more than a bad coaching staff that’s harmful to all WOS students which includes WOS student athlete football players. Where is the upheaval about that? There isn’t any. And it’s shameful to hear everyone going on and on about running these guys out of town, but no one seems to show the same support for the education of these football boys. The battle for these kids isn’t won on the field, it’s won in the classroom. The kids aren’t the underachievers. It’s the people responsible for their education. They have given up on these kids’ educational success and preached athletics as a way out. That’s so backwards, I can’t even begin to comprehend it. It’s not like it’s a poor inner city Houston school. It’s in a well funded district with good kids and good people. I’m sorry I brought this up, but it’s been heavy on my mind. My son played flag football all the way into college. He’s an average student and has to work hard to get B’s and C’s. But I always told him, no grades, no sports. It drove him to work hard and get the grades. He got injured last year and no longer plays. I’m glad I laid his foundation in education and not in athletics.

Do you expect anything for your kids on an educational level? Why doesn't anyone come together and be heard about that. Historically, WOS has never been an educational powerhouse, but I guess that's ok. Good Christ this is getting old...

Not from there but Fausto's or Anita's

To be fair, it’s not Trump. It’s all people who are trying to get votes. No different for Democrats, Republicans, Independents, etc. Politicians (synonymous with liar, cheat, scum) will tell us whatever’s advantageous to getting our vote. Pick your poison. Like I’ve said before, I’m going to choose the lesser of two evils in my opinion and vote Republican as I have for years.

Lowering the interest rates too much at this point would simply be a "feel good" boost. Might hurt in the long run unless done slowly and thoughtfully.

HAHA. Lol.

You quoted a blank comment. What are you talking about?

Dang! Who coached that crappy team?

One district loss by the best team in the district means the season is over? If you say so. Must be that new math.

None of the past matters. New year, new coaches, new players, new game. I do agree that Silsbee wins.

It’s looks like they’re not afraid to give up a bunch of points, but they can score a lot too.

Yeah, one of those games didn’t finish, but y’all were up 14-0. I hope the Raiders can win this one. Hope both teams have a good injury free game.

I saw that on Max Preps. I was hoping that @89Falcon could explain how a 1-3 record could be the reason that Tatum was surprising and should edge Lumberton. Plus I don’t trust MaxPreps W-L records. I heard one of the games was called due to lightning.

I quit reading after the following comparisons between the belief in extra-terrestrial existence and belief in God. The guy’s a dork. Basically saying God is unlikely and a ghost story and an injection of a little bit of magic. “I want to be up front: I don’t like dismissing people’s personal beliefs as “crackpot.” Myself, I’m up for a good ghost story, or tales of events not easily explained by science…” “…In my own beliefs, I’m not a fervent atheist—I’m an agnostic, and I don’t begrudge people putting a bit of magic into the world, into their lives. If you are someone who thinks aliens have visited Earth, I have no urge to jump in front of your face to tell you you’re wrong (even if I think the likelihood is exceedingly low).”

What’s their record?

If all is as it should be, Raiders should win.
