We can have a bible study up in here. As a son of a preacher man, always ready for church!

You're welcome in advance [Hidden Content]

Remember when the poor sick woman touched the hem of Jesus's robe and he told her if she wanted to be healed then she needed to get a job and her own Healthcare? And remember when He said, 'the poor will be with you always, so tell them to quit being lazy?' My favorite sermon was "Blessed are those who are sick of taking care of orphans, widows, the poor and the meek. Only those who can take care of themselves and are perfectly healthy and rich may enter the Kingdom of Heaven." Or maybe I have that all wrong...

Of course, for someone who tweets more than a 15 year old girl (34k and counting on just one of his accounts), it amazes me how anyone finds anything on that page...

You guys are focused too much on Shauna. I was more enlightened by Don Don's preformulated responses!

I believe J'Covan Brown (Kelly/Memorial) is still playing overseas. Turkey last I heard.

Awesome and well deserved experience for those boys. As grad said, soak it in and enjoy!

Good little fishy!

A mid major that will continue to bust your arse in everything not moral victory. Poor aggy ... more specifically recruiting. Don't worry, the blip is over. Continue to bask in your mediocrity lol

They are never going to win that division as long as King Nick is in T Town. In all fairness, they are competing with the best there ever was. And we are talking about aggy... I argued the other day that the GOAT coaches in the NFL, CFB, NBA and CBB are all active coaches (Belichik, Saban, Pop & Coach K). Certainly that isn't inarguable, but I really believe that. And Nick is probably the strongest argument of the 4...

If he is, he has been busy coordinating summer leagues/tournaments for the next guy. Seems like business as usual over at the Pound...

Unfortunately, like with many things in life, perception can become reality. Personally, I have seen other schools (even within the district) whose players play way more dirty than Silsbee. In fact, in the games I've seen, Silsbee has played good, aggressive defense (which I love to see) but has otherwise conducted themselves appropriately. I can't say the same with every school in the district. However, deservedly or not, Silsbee has gotten the reputation that doesn't jive with my personal observations. And obviously I haven't seen a tenth of the games AAW has. But when you have that rep, and then you have an incident like what happened, you sometimes faced heightened consequences. My hope is that Tigers take heed to the warning and show exemplary behavior in the coming season(s). Because they have a chance to do more special things and will be fun to watch on their quest.

I love when you talk math. Makes me feel less geeky...

Very little good can come from high school kids at on a beach vacation with other kids where alcohol is readily available. I know many much older than aren't mature enough to handle that responsibility. Even if they abstain, they are still potentially in harm's way. Just a personal belief that my wife and I share that my kids don't necessarily like. I realize that some of the kids allegedly involved were young college students, but still not legal drinking age. As REBgp correctly pointed out, kids and alcohol can be a recipe for disaster.

In the meantime, I would say we should pray for ALL of those involved in this case, the kids and their families. Regardless of the outcome, there is going to be a significant amount of healing that will need to occur (and not just physically) and that is one of the biggest shames of this whole situation.

Just an outstanding post. Some may tire of my constant preaching of the presumption of innocence on this board. But it is one of the cornerstones of this country and one that so many seem to forget or disregard. You are 100% correct. None of us are in a position to judge anyone in this case. Those that are able to see all of the evidence will have that responsibility.

As a parent, I can't imagine a single thing worse than this.

The evil that exists in this world is both sickening and terrifying. Prayers for the family of the victim.

Thanks. Much needed win for the Bobcats.

I think they were supposed to play at 11.

It won't be an issue anymore when it stops being an issue. I believe it will get better with time, with the majority of racists being from the older generation. Unfortunately, some of them are spawning young racists, and I don't know if it will ever be eradicated. I deal and socialize with people of color every day. I frequently have them in my home. I've found that no matter the race, religion, orientation of a person, if you treat them with kindness, respect, and dignity, 99.9% of the time you get that in return. But when you spew ignorant crap out of your mouth (or fingers on Twitter), you will find the opposite to be true. As for Dez, I am guessing part of what Tobie is saying is actions speak louder than words. I am a lifelong Cowboy fan but have never been a huge Dez fan. His conduct and attitude have not been exemplary in representing his team or his race.

Thanks pal. I browse some...I just rarely post anymore. Some folks are just too far gone for saving (Of course I'm kidding my buddies over here )
