he was upset? angry? it's just the roids roger, it's just the roids.

sounds like backe's an average fighter, too.

i'd love a phils/rays final!

sounds like a good one developing!

just because alot of our good players graduated. we will still do great. we got alot of new players. we have a great coach that loves the game. sorry your jealous were finally starting to beat good teams. dont under estimate the L-train. we might be little and white. but we sure do turn some heads. you haven't turned any heads with your season so far. win this one, some heads will turn. i just don't see it happening. vidor may be an upstart, but that should've been an easy win for lumberton if they're going to be successful this year. this year is a different team. are they better than the lumberton teams of the past? of course! but that doesn't at all make ya'll comparable to last year's team. there's a very good chance that lumberton ends with 4 losses in district this year.

whatever. there's no way that dayton puts up more than 90.

Central wins. Lumberton has started this year off as they did last year... with a bunch of easy wins. Unfortunately, the one solid team they've played beat them, and the one good team they scrimmaged embarrassed them. don't let lumberton's 3-1 record fool you... this is a much different team from the one they fielded last year. Central takes this one, and more comfortably than most people think.

well-played sir, well-played.

i had a bowel movement today, and when i turned around to check it out, it spelled OU.

178 remain on the list, with a total of 871 having been placed on the list at one time or another. i had noticed a 7 year old girl who was the 7th person placed on the list, and she has been removed. i hope they found her alive and safe, but if they didn't, i don't suppose we'd hear about it.

glad you're okay! we would miss you in the miscellaneous forum.

A performance by cheerleaders at a Texas high school pep rally last month has sparked a battle between some students and the administration over whether skits depicting gun violence are appropriate for school, according to the Daily Sentinel. Cheerleaders at Nacogdoches High School in Nacogdoches, Tex., performed a skit wearing cowboy hats and carrying toy guns while they shot down cheerleaders dressed as the opposing team — the Center High School Roughriders — who had come to steal the NHS mascot, the newspaper reported. “As the Center team scuffles with the mascot, NHS cheerleaders run to the rescue, freeing the mascot. They then force the Center team to kneel as they stand behind them with guns,†the newspaper reported. More than 120 students have signed a petition protesting “gun promotion†at pep rallies, but the school principal, Nathan Chaddick, called the skit "simple, innocent satire" to boost school spirit. “Everybody enjoyed it and had a good time,†Chaddick said, according to the newspaper. After the incident the school newspaper published an editorial by a cheerleader in support of the skit in its entirety. Chaddick edited out criticism of the administration in an article opposing the performance, the Daily Sentinel said. "They were calling the cheerleaders 'fearleaders.'" Chaddick told the newspaper. "That's just inappropriate."

the list is down from about 300 to 219 in the last few days. 130 or so have been taken off, but another 50 or so have been added.

any updates? we're thinking of you, yank!

wow, i wasn't able to get on this weekend. nice result for vidor!

cool, thanks.

come on! half of those posts were just smiley faces! of course, he deserves his hall of fame status for all of the other things he does on here!

I am the president of my housing association, and we are insured through Texas Windstorm. We haven't had an adjuster come out yet, but I've heard from someone else that they wouldn't pay for them to fix their fence, and wouldn't clear any trees out of their yard. Has anybody had any trouble with them? What exactly do they cover?

From CNN: Alligators loom over submerged cars. Mountains of debris are embedded in the ground. The bodies of cows, trucks and the remnants of homes lie in and out of the water. And unverified sightings of missing loved ones still make the rounds. Traci Turner says she hasn't hear from her sister Danielle Chapman or her two nephews since the storm. More than 300 people are missing since Hurricane Ike hit the Texas coast last month, and the obstacles to finding them are frustrating family and friends who desperately want to know if their loved ones are dead or alive. These family and friends want answers: Why are so many still missing? Why has the first organized search for bodies, to be held Thursday on the battered Bolivar Peninsula, taken so long? Local and state authorities are conducting Thursday's search and have been working with the Laura Recovery Center, a missing persons organization. The center helped compile a list of missing people and police are using the information to go door-to-door looking for answers. "We are hopeful most of these people will be found, that a lot of them were evacuated to shelters, or don't even know they've been listed as missing," said Bob Walcutt, executive director of the Laura Recovery Center in Friendswood, Texas. iReport.com: Are you looking for loved ones? "We are hoping to get more answers as people call in or as school starts, but another week with this number could be a different story," he said. As of Thursday morning, the number of missing hovered at 300, including 24 children. Laura Recovery Center volunteers, working with the Galveston Police Department and Galveston Emergency Management, have been fielding calls from family and friends of people missing since Ike hit September 12. A majority of the missing come from the hardest-hit Texas towns of Crystal Beach, Port Bolivar, Gilchrist, Texas and Galveston. Traci Turner, of San Diego, California, doesn't know where her sister Danielle Chapman is. The last time she spoke to her was right after Hurricane Gustav hit the Gulf Coast, about a week before Ike came ashore. At that time, Turner's sister Danielle Chapman said she and her family, who were on the west end of Galveston Island, were all OK. Chapman, 32, and her sons Joel, 15, and Addison, 12, lived in a home at the far west end of island, past Jamaica Beach. Turner said despite arduous online searching she has seen no news or photos about that area, and has heard nothing from her sister and nephews since Hurricane Ike. "My heart is hurting. This is my little sister and I love her to death," Turner told CNN. "These are her kids. I love them to death and they are gone. I don't want to say it -- maybe they have been washed out, maybe they haven't -- maybe they are in a shelter. Either way, they are still missing." Adding confusion to her search,Turner said, the recovery center took her sister and nephews off the list because someone called to say he or she knew their whereabouts. Turner hasn't been able to talk to the person who called in the tip. So without any proof that her family is still alive, she cannot rest easy. "Not until I hear a voice or see pictures of them," she said. Turner, like many others, wishes a streamlined procedure were in place to find residents in an evacuation zone. Chapman and other evacuees may not have a phone number for their relatives, Turner said. There should be a main number everyone knew to call, she said, so families across the Gulf Coast wouldn't be left in the dark as to whether their loved ones are dead or just scattered across the state. The frustration about the post-Ike recovery runs deep for Robin Huber, pastor of a church that was destroyed along with her home in Gilchrist. Huber estimates only seven homes are still standing in Gilchrist, which is surrounded by huge piles of debris. Cars and dead animals float in the bay, she said. The amount of debris is unfathomable, Huber said, and it was hurled with such force that residents can barely dig through it. "Imagine that all of these homes were picked up and dropped from a high airplane," she said. "It looks like a bomb exploded here and the pieces are so stuck in the earth, it's impossible to pull out. Who knows what is in there." Cars and trucks litter the road leading to the highway as if they were trying to escape at the last moment, Huber said. When she was allowed back to Gilchrist after the storm, Huber swore she saw a body leaning out of a submerged car. "Nobody could get to them because they were still under water and because of all of the alligators in the area," she said. Huber, like others, wants to know why officials haven't been searching for bodies. "When there's a disaster everyone focuses on it for a week then everyone forgets," Huber said. "That's the problem right now. Why are there not more people out there looking for bodies?" "I have people saying to me 'Do you know where my daddy is?'" she said. "All I can say is 'Don't give up,' but now we are going on three weeks." On Thursday, search teams will begin the first organized search in five "hotspots" -- debris piles across the Bolivar Peninsular, according to The Associated Press. Chambers County Judge Jimmy Sylvia has been asking for help from the governor's office since the hurricane hit, according to CNN affiliate KTRK-TV. "I don't have a clue why it is taking so long. You know it really should be Galveston County pushing because those are Galveston County folks that would be up here in my county," Sylvia told KTRK-TV. State Rep. Craig Eiland told KTRK-TV that the delay will be investigated. Now, two weeks after the storm hit, the phones at the call center are steadily ringing. Walcutt said the center and the Red Cross are continuing to crosscheck their lists. Between calls from the public and checking with shelters, Walcutt said 317 people have been found and taken off the list, including 51 on Wednesday alone. The Laura Recovery Center Web site lists the names of the missing along with their towns and photos. On the site, family and friends can create their own missing person fliers and upload those photos. The center is working with local authorities, who are in some cases going to knock on the doors of the missing, Walcutt said. For Huber, the struggle won't end until all the answers are in. "They say Lord won't give you more than you can handle, but right now it's getting pretty close," she said.

"authorities are still searching "for as many as 50 bodies"... "As many as 700 people were listed missing at one point", but "300 names were taken down (off the list) when people called to say there were OK". I'm not the best at math, but these numbers don't mesh. there are currently 296 people on a list that has had almost 780 people on it at one point or another since Hurricane Ike. 300 were taken off the list when it was discovered they were okay. There are 3 identified dead off of the list. There are search efforts under way for around 50 people right now. There are a lot of people "unaccounted for". Any thoughts?

Silsbee's finally getting a little respect!

how much does OU suck? so much that, to this point in time, people have checked this thread 1188 times to see just how bad others think they suck.

nice win for the l-train.

sounds like this was an amazing game!

i can't help but feel that those you speak of will be more than balanced out by people who are missing but haven't been placed on the list.
