Give me Bellville, 27-20

Great showing! Wins against three 6A teams with a combined record of 25-6!

Let’s not get carried away. The won by a lot, but shepherd hasn’t had a winning record in three seasons, and lost 5 seniors last year. We’ll see how Mitchell does against some better teams.

Hurt my feelings.

I saw a comment on fb that read “but they wouldn’t have attacked him if he hadn’t ran around with a weapon.” I wish the same argument would be made by the left to defend police when they’re forced to shoot armed suspects. To be clear, I have an issue with vigilantism, and I have an issue when police kill people they shouldn’t, but the lack of common sense from so many people in determining what is justified and what isn’t is mind boggling.

Lol. How many turnovers would a backup have had? I promise you HF wouldn’t have scored. There have been a grand total of two teams score more than 14 points on Carthage this year, and one of them played in the 5A state championship game last season, and has a reasonable chance to get there again this year. You guys are killing me expecting HF to put up 35 or something and not turn the ball over against the best defense in the state. HF could’ve easily lost 3 district games. Y’all are acting like they’re WOS all of a sudden and should be competing in this one somehow.

42-14, final. Heck of a season, longhorns!

HF has a pretty good year and then gets soundly beaten by a team that has lost 1 game in five seasons, and people are on here blaming the coaches and Heckaman. Come on, man. This team probably doesn’t make the playoffs without heckaman (4th seed at best). And they’ve had this good season running the same few plays over and over. There wasn’t anything that could’ve been done to change the outcome of this game. It was decided before it started. It might could’ve been a hair closer. That’s about it.

That would be the two teams I’m talking about. And I still think Carthage beats them both. And Carthage is a little “down” this year. I’d say gilmer as well, but Carthage already comfortably beat them.

People at work this week were trying to talk about how we had a chance to win this one. I tried to let them know what was going to happen without hurting any feelings.

There’s about 2 other schools in 4A that kind of almost belong on the field with Carthage. Kind of. Almost.

14-0. 4th and 1 qb sneak and he just kept going

That kinda sums up ivermectin in a nutshell for me. The same folks who claim the vaccine was never necessary for a virus that isn’t all that serious for most folks and carries a 99% survival rate then turn around and swear that ivermectin is the reason they survived and the virus didn’t hit them that hard. What I found really interesting is that the argument made makes a lot of sense as to why a few early trials in a few third-world areas showed a lot of success, but have shown little results in areas where people aren’t eaten up with parasites.

Ivermectin: Much More Than You Wanted To Know - Astral Codex Ten (substack.com) This is a blog, but it examines and provides links to a ton of studies of Ivermectin. It also gives pertinent back-information. Examples of this would be information about the doctors writing the study having a history of fraud, some studies had numbers that were clearly made up, examples of well-written studies, etc. Anyway, for anyone wanting to dive down the rabbit hole, this is an interesting read. For those of you who don't, here's a very brief summary of the author's findings... Basically after studying and breaking down pretty much every study out there, the author came to the following conclusion: everyone was wrong about ivermectin. The people who think it's effective against COVID are wrong, and the people that think it has no value against COVID are also wrong. How can this be, you ask? Basically, a decent amount of studies where Ivermectin was shown to be beneficial are clearly fake or exaggerated. The author goes into detail on these cases, in some cases providing links. So it's not him just telling you to trust him. In most reputable studies, the difference in results of groups taking ivermectin vs. groups taking nothing or a placebo were statistically insignificant. Ivermectin didn't hurt anyone, but it didn't really appear to make much of a difference. HOWEVER, there is one exception, and this exception played a very important role in the push for Ivermectin to begin with. Some of the earliest (and most impressive) Ivermectin results came from areas where people are teeming with parasites. Studies early on from Bangladesh, East India, and Colombia showed tremendous results for people who took Ivermectin while sick with COVID. Why would results differ in studies from these third world countries versus less impoverished areas? It's simple: the inhabitants of all of these countries are commonly infected by roundworms, threadworms, hookworms, blood flukes, liver flukes, nematodes, trematodes, pretty much every parasite you can think of. Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic. Does it not make complete and total sense that someone who's fighting COVID, AND also infested with parasites, would have a much better chance of survival if they took a drug that killed all of the parasites in their body? Does it not also make sense that someone who's infested with parasites would be more susceptible to death from COVID than someone who's completely healthy? I'm not saying this article is the end all source for information, but a whole lot of what this guy says makes a whole lot of sense. It's a long read, but I'd love to hear what you guys think.

I'm not trying to say this in a callous way, and I don't want it to be misunderstood as such... I'm very much pro-vax, and in some situations i'm pro-mask. But every person who gets infected becomes a dead end. Either they fight it off and develop immunity, or they don't make it, and are no longer able to pass it on. Vaccinations provide protection, there's no doubt about that. But if I could trade my artificial immunity for the real thing (with no consequences) I'd gladly do it.

I worked there last year, and I can say that it worked. Didn’t have but maybe 8-10 cases in the entire school amongst kids the entire year, and no spreading in any classes. I’m at a new district this year and we had a massive outbreak at the start of the school year. At least 180 students across 4 campuses the first month of school. Over 40 students got sick at my campus in that time, and it’s a similar size to the school I worked at last year. That said, the students learn a lot better under normal conditions, and a lot of them now have natural immunity, which will slow outbreaks in the future. I certainly enjoy teaching without a mask.

I don’t really blame him for the ice storm, other than he was in charge and it went poorly for the state. And I don’t disagree that few leaders have handled COVID well, I just really had an issue with him going all in on the shutdown for so long, only to completely lift it so closely to when people who wanted to be vaccinated had the option. At that point, what’s another few weeks?

I'm going to disagree on how well he handled covid. I know that I don't hold the same views on Covid as many conservatives, but IMO there were two viable options to address it: the first option was to do nothing. Let it run it's course, encourage people to be smart, and treat cases as best you could. The second was to lock the state down to some degree until the vaccine was widely available. Protect the masses from themselves until the people who wanted the vaccine were able to receive it. He somehow did both of these options in the least effective way possible: he shut down the state in various ways for about 9 months... reduced capacity in various public places, cancelling school, closing different businesses. BUT, then he completely opened the state back up just 2 months before vaccines were widely available, which undoubtedly led to many deaths of people who had no choice but to return back to school/work/etc. just 6-8 weeks before they would become eligible to get a vaccine. So the Texas economy took a pretty big hit because of his policy, but then he ended the policy just about 2 months before it could've made a difference. I was dumbfounded when he did that.

What's funny is the prosecutor has claimed that had Rittenhouse not shot Rosenbaum, he (the prosecutor) likely would've brought arson charges against him. I find this exceptionally hard to believe.

Wow. HJ with an And-1 posterizer dunk

Just flipped over the the game and saw they’re down 57-11. Did the shewolves graduate everyone from those teams that were winning all those games?

Wow

Kind of a surprise. Grand Oaks was a pretty mediocre team last year. I know Huffman lost their stud PG, but didn’t they have a lot coming back? Of course, I don’t know how many they had out for football playoffs.
