  1. their numbers are skewed, but both of those teams are better than PNG. One of them is a LOT better than PNG. Those two teams are also better than PAM, who beat the brakes off the indians early in the year. I won't be shocked if the indians win, but while your assessment of LBJ's district schedule is correct, your assessment of the games they played pre district is not.
  2. beat me to it. Imagine creating an event for white men called "Tired of lesbian black women?"
  3. LBJ in a weak district, but have outscored their last 6 opponents (including a 7-3 team in the playoffs) 455-0. averaged 76 points a game in that span. they clearly have a few offensive weapons. They lost to a couple of teams early in the year, but both teams are better than PNG, so... I'll take LBJ
  4. Man, the way the Longview fans got on here talking I figured they’d be up at least 30 by now
  5. Did not, but that's not a game the "best team in the area" should be losing by 20. West Brook isn't a bad team, but they're not that good. They're coming off a season where they had a nice record, but racked up 10 of their 25 wins against bad teams from 5A, 4A, and even 3A. HJ was 20 points better than them last year, and I guarantee you they're not 20 points worse than them this year.
  6. Because given two terrible candidates, I'll always take the one who's pushing conservative legislation.
  7. I think Walker is the better candidate, I just don’t think he’s a good candidate.
  8. I don’t have to convince myself. The red wave turning into the red ripple convinced me.
  9. How bad would a republican candidate have to be before you would vote for a democrat (no need to answer this)? The point being that the quality of the candidate only goes so far, and is always going to be outweighed by policy. It truly doesn't matter that bad democratic options are worse than the bad republican options in areas that are moderate or left-leaning, and vice versa in conservative areas. here's the thing that republicans in ultra-red states always seem to ignore: in many states there is a very even split of republicans and democrats. in some states democrats have an advantage, but it's not insurmountable. in order to win those states, you have to actually provide a good option for moderates and apathetic democrats to vote for. The candidate that you'd want representing you in Texas is a terrible choice to run in these races. A terrible choice that is also associated with trump is even worse. A quality candidate could've flipped Pennsylvania, but a Trump-backed TV doctor wasn't going to do it, even against someone like Fetterman. That's just the political makeup of Pennsylvania at the current time. I think you're an intelligent person, and I respect your opinions. That said, your continued insistence that the fault lies with the "low information voters" rather than with the republican party for failing to do what it takes to secure their votes is incorrect IMO. Combine that with the inexplicable attack on abortion (not arguing right and wrong, just insanely stupid timing) just a few months before midterms, and the Republicans are lucky to have secured the meager gains they did.
  10. You can start with eliminating anyone who's running on a "the election was stolen" mantra. Of course, that's most of the candidates Trump has endorsed. Do I really need to discuss why Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz were poor choices? A decent candidate in Pennsylvania would've been a cakewalk over the human potato, and the same goes in Georgia. The fact that Walker made it to a runoff with all of the information that has come out about him shows just how easily a real candidate could've won that race against Warnock. This pattern holds true in several other crucial races that the republicans lost. Kari Lake is another terrible candidate. From Republican to Independent to Democrat, and then back to Republican, going with whatever ship can take her the farthest. Being "pretty hot for a politician" and willing to tout Trump's wildest claims clearly wasn't enough to make her a good candidate. I guess we'll see how that race pans out, but it's not looking great.
  11. works for HISD. Heck, united will win the 3A basketball championship for the next several years.
  12. some, but when the republican party isn't providing quality candidates, and is kowtowing to the most conservative (votes already locked up) reaches of the party, most of the blame is better directed elsewhere.
  13. 1. Humble Atascocita 2. Sheldon C.E. King 3. Barbers Hill 4. Longview 5. Lancaster 6. Port Arthur Memorial 7. Brenham 8. Port Neches-Groves 9. Lake Creek 10. Kilgore 11. Lindale 12. Hamshire-Fannett 13. Jasper 14. Silsbee 15. Bellville 16. Anahuac 17. Woodville 18. Hemphill 19. New Waverly 20. Centerville 21. Garrison 22. Joaquin 23. Cushing 24. Deweyville 25. Lovelady
  14. not really. Biden with historically low support, yet the republicans with historically low midterm gains.
