I agree. I have no idea who the person is who sent him this. He just said it was someone he trusts. I also find it odd all the surrounding passengers seemed so supportive of him. If he had been behaving this way, you would think some of them would have spoken up.

Okay, this is from a close college friend of mine who retired from the USAF and now flies commercially. He has a connection from the flight and in question and received the following via text. He says he trusts the source completely. I tried to post the actual text but I couldn't figure out how to resize the photo so it would post: Here's the rest of the story… And it's a good one. Being a Republic employee I'd rather not post it publicly. United solicited volunteers. The "Dr" and his wife willingly got off the plane and was booked a hotel and flight the next day. They then decided they could not wait until the next day and ran back on the plane. They asked them to deplane several times. When he refused they called the airport police Who again asked them to deplane several times. The Dr then spit on the officer and also swung to hit the officer. Then the Videos start rolling. His 2 Front teeth were knocked out by the armrest during the struggle. He then played as if he was dying having his wife filming him the whole time while off the AC. He then jumps up and runs back on the plane and hangs onto the FA galley curtain claiming he is ready to die and also runs to the back of the plane. Blood gets on the plane so they have to deplane the AC to clean the blood.

Very well deserved. He has done a masterful job managing what he has. His job is a lot harder than the casual observer realizes. The way he has handled his kids the last two years has been remarkable to me. Congrats to Coach Sig!

Heck of an outing for Noah regardless by the way... and I agree with you...silsbee is going to be a VERY dangerous playoff team with that pitching depth. If they can keep those bats going...well not going to jinx anything but hopefully will be a deep and interesting run...

Is Partain's arm okay or is it just rest?

Holy crap! This dude obsesses over daddy even when cruising??!??

FIFY talk about a joke!

Bingo. The cheap bastards really deserve what they are getting. How much cheaper would a couple grand in vouchers and a couple of free flights to Hawaii have been vs what they are going through now? Greed can be crippling, which is what is dripping all over this story.

Mack is the best Longhorn poster on this board. Every time I get a little down on the state of one of our programs, I remember little aggy and Mack is the epitome of the stereotype. Can't seem to break away no matter how hard he tries. The obsession is just a big part of who they are. They will always, no matter how far or how hard they run, be our special little brothers. Gotta love those goofy little bastards

Stumblin around like Sumblin on any given God-forsaken night in that dump he's trapped in...

Coleman putting the full court press on Mohamed Bomba. If Shaka lands him out of nowhere, major coup.

He is an Orangefield guy. He was basically retired and came back to help teach. He's now probably the best Jr High coach in the area. He's had some health issues so I don't think he has any interest in a head job. Just loves the game and the kids. I know he's perfectly content in what he's doing.

Superintendent track. $$$

Zach Quinn absolutely knows his stuff. But he's not giving up HS principal to coach.

Ray Montagne. Was a very successful HC at LCM. Our Lincoln faithful will remember him too. When he was coaching freshmen at OF, many thought he was the best coach at the HS. I think you know more than you let on

I'm married to one. And you are 100% correct. People that choose to teach at Orangefield do so for reasons other than pay.

You are correct on the reason for his decision. Newly married, and then a little one on the way - he and his wife wanted to be closer to his family. In speaking with various friends around 22-4A who really understand the game, I wasn't surprised when I consistently heard how well the Bobcats were coached this year. He did a tremendous job. It's not easy taking over in a situation where you are trying to change a "culture; you really need your seniors to buy in and not make it more difficult. In my opinion after watching the program for many years now, Hardy reminded me of Nathan Toon, the coach who had the most success at OF in that time, and has had a successful career since. I fully expect you will see the same with Sunny. I always find it interesting that you not only can tell the obvious (like who can spell) by reading these boards, you also can ascertain who knows the game of basketball. Whoever they hire coming in, he will immediately inherit the deepest senior class OF will have for several years to come. And if you buy into the Little Dribblers correlation, it also the group that made the deepest run at Nationals of any boys team in history of that program at Orangefield.

He could be very good for the Jacks. Like really good. Not sure where he is on qualifying, etc. Talent-wise, could have been a high D1

Saw him all summer last year and a couple of games in the YMBL.

That's what I get for believing what I read!

I saw a few weeks ago the area leaders in track & field. I remember specifically looking at an impressive time from a young man from West Brook in the 100m and thinking, that's gonna change when Silsbee finishes playing basketball. I read this morning where Kaylon Barnes broke his dad's school record (of 10.4s) by running a 10.1. That is blazing! Congrats Kaylon!

Just when I thought venturing to Arkansas couldn't become less desirable...
