Wow. Sounds like somebody knows something. And Vegas didn’t get built by being wrong very often. I didn’t think Chucky would come back for a college job but shoes you how attractive the Vols job is. Coincidentally that would also be great news for aggy. That would help, especially given they are at best the third best job open in their own conference.

I think Tobie misread who you were calling well versed. Not because I think he should think I am well versed by any stretch, but I doubt he’s complaining about me not calling out anything in my party since I’m a Democrat (and I have called out people in my party at times). It’s a shame people on this board can’t get along with any better than the folks in DC. I will say that I have had conversations in person with Nash, BSWildcats, and way too many with REBGp. And at least from my end, I’ve enjoyed them without exception. They all know we differ politically but it hasn’t affected any friendships in the slightest.

One thing I see too much on this board, on both sides, is people presuming to know what others have endured or what it is like to walk in the shoes of someone else when you really can’t if you haven’t actually been in their shoes. In a perfect world, race would be a non-issue, period. I can tell you, with our kids’ generation, we are much closer to that perfect world thankfully. I know there are as many exceptions but I watched mine and their diverse groups of friends on countless days/nights and have yet to see color enter the equation. They are all cognizant of their racial differences obviously, but I have yet to see any of the kids, black or white, care about any of that. Their friends are their friends and that’s the end of it. On the other hand, and unfortunately, we as the adults often times become fixated on this subject. And as surely as I post this, someone will respond and justify why they are in the right. And as in most things in this life, there is probably plenty of blame to go around. If you are a believer, you believe that God made us all and I don’t believe He makes mistakes. I don’t know what it’s like to experience racism. I have never been so victimized. But people I love have experienced it and the only thing I can do is try to empathize with them and show them that I love them regardless of what color God painted them. Again, I truly believe that today’s youth will cure a lot of these ills (if we don’t screw them up). And to be honest, despite the conventional wisdom that adults should teach the children, I also wholeheartedly believe we should be the students on this particular subject.

I don’t know Cam, we have met at some point but I don’t think so. However, I have some vey good friends who know him well and speak very highly of him, which is generally good enough for me. I also am well aware of some of his work. Anyone who dedicates his time working with and trying to advance the youth of our communities ranks highly with me.

Congrats to your boy! Really enjoyed the song.

For once I couldn’t agree more...

I thought it was all about the conference with you SEC goobs. If so, Big 10 > Sun Belt. Although based on this year with Troy and ULaLa, it appears the Sunny Belt matches up pretty favorably with the SECond to many conference. But the bright side is you all have two jocks to ride this year instead of one, thanks to Kirby and Georgia. So it shouldn’t be nearly as smelly as usual. HTH.

Texas A&M Offer to Nederland's Hayden Hefner
TxHoops replied to Honest Abe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
I’m not sure either. I was told (and I’m sure Abe or one of the other Bulldog faithful can verify), that Hefner was the first freshman to start as a freshman out of the gate. He impressed me during the season, and even more so during the summer. Good kid, good family, and obviously exceedingly bright. I don’t know how much he will continue to grow but every inch at this point is huge. He already has good heighth for a guard. He continues to work and improve, he will stock pile offers with the visibility he will have. Good news for him is the Aggies and Kennedy have already offered. I don’t know what his ultimate goal is in terms of college but I know he already has a sibling in Aggieland. Pretty nice to have that in your pocket before you take a single shot as a sophomore. But knowing the kid, I think we are only scratching the surface at how good he can be. -
Now let’s not discount Troy St. Just because they lost the following week to South Alabama (in their first season playing football again after an extended absence), doesn’t mean those Trojans can’t play ball. In fact, their defense is very prophylactic...

Texas A&M Offer to Nederland's Hayden Hefner
TxHoops replied to Honest Abe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
UAA circuit coaches: Jeff McInnis, Tim Legler, Mike Rice, George Zedan to name a few. A couple of former NBA’ers, a D1 College Coach, and one of the most respected high school coaches in California. You might call them “real coaches;” Not exactly shoe salesmen-type resumés. Personally I would put any of those guys might be on the short list of Best coaches in SETX high school ball, if they were coaching here... -
I agree but it’s one of the Elite CFB brands with a Heisman douc....err, contender. They win out they will get in.
-
What does aggy know about football? Big 12 was done. I mean sitting at 5 and 8, certainly there is no scenario where they get in. Lol
-
Game wasn’t that close. Idk if it was a blowout but wasn’t extremely competitive either

Texas A&M Offer to Nederland's Hayden Hefner
TxHoops replied to Honest Abe's topic in High School Boys Basketball
He performed extremelywell this summer against far better talent than he will see in that district. Has insane hops, shoots it well, and has really good vision. Hence the offers (although the academics certainly don’t hurt either). Likes to distribute the ball and plays extremely unselfish. The key for the bulldogs this season will be who else can step up. -
Kellen would look a lot better if he could throw to Mike Evans...
-
Funeral-like atmosphere at Kyle for a night game. Impressive. Should’ve had a “brunch” game.
-
Daniel Young with a couple of impressive runs, the second for a score. The freshmen RBs have looked good. 38-7 Texas. Less than 2 to go.
-
Breaking news. We are able to have an explosive running play without holding (or getting caught at least). Carter makes it 31-7
-
Baylor goes for it on 4th in 2 on its own 28 and throws incomplete. Texas ball.
-
Holton Hill and Deshon Elliott will be next members of DBU in the league. Book it.
-
how In the heck do they expect us to get a rushing game going without holding?? Carter TD gets negated by a hold and Kountze’s Grayland “I shoulda gone to Texas” Arnold gets a pick in the end zone on the next play.
-
Well, managed to sneak an 18 yarder through. 24-7 Horns.
-
My bad. The ball was tipped. So him not going to ball and then dropping it was indeed Herman’s fault for letting it get tipped. Carry on.
-
I wonder if Foreman’s dad will tweet that it’s Herman’s fault his son dropped that third down pass? It apparently is that his son has been a notorious loafer in practice, going back to HS.
-
Averaging 26+ ppg and 440+ ypg coming in. Their defense on the other hand has been awful. But we have a way of making pedestrian defenses look remarkable. But I will confess I haven’t seen a snap of Baylor football before today and would agree they look pretty turrible. Not sure how much of that is them and how much is us but I am guessing a fair amount is them.
