  1. Sub shoots it. Had no idea the rule there.
  2. I've never seen this - someone foul out after being fouled and going to the line. Maybe a bad call but you can't spike the ball there. It was just dumb.
  3. What a game. House knocks both down. Then Ulis with a tough floater.
  4. Huge play by Jones and a nice look by House
  5. Missed FTs in crunch time have been a killer. Have to knock those down!!
  6. That foul call was awful but at least it put a horrendous shooter on the line. A&M needs a facilitator so badly.
  7. Great basketball game. Collins has to get off the ball there though
  8. I forgot, you're the expert on all things basketball. LMAO! I am going to call Jimmy Hicks and let him know ranking Fabian #2 in the 2017s behind only Vanderbilt is a big mistake according to one of our local yokels. That statement alone proved you were as clueless as we all already knew. Beat Atacocita? Get outta here
  9. Not an inappropriate topic. It's just more a topic for the Locker Room forum than a political issue.
  10. The funny thing is when I saw the piece on Scalia, I thought immediately of a few guys on this board that I rarely agree with politically, but of whom personally I couldn't be fonder (yourself included). I didn't always agree with Scalia, although on many issues I did. But he was a brilliant legal scholar who gave everything he had to the law.
  11. So it's them not playing with the big boys in the summers is why they didn't get the same offers? Maybe you're right but if you think Ozen wouldn't be a big dog against Atascocita, I can't help you. 32-0 and ranked in the top 5 in the country. And because you apparently are talking out of your behind as usual, they also happen to have one of the best bigs in Houston.
  12. From #5 to the bubble. I can relate. Remember a few years ago when we ranked #1 at one point and barely limped in the tournament. I think today will cure a lot of woes for aTm. Predict they will beat UK in CS.
  13. I don't know. I'd like to think their music is timeless. My son and some of his friends discovered Hotel California and started hearing them play it some. Restored my faith in our youth a little
  14. Agreed. I've been there a couple of summers over the past 4 years. Beautiful and affordable
  15. No doubt. They do much, much more than "shoot the 3." That's why they were recruited by a different class of school.
  16. New series on FX but it's a few episodes in. Watched it from the beginning and it's actually really good. Outstanding cast including Cuba Gooding, Jr., John Travolta, David Schwimmer, Rob Morrow, Nathan Lane, etc.
  17. Rarely have I watched a television program on the edge of my seat for the entire hour. This show just continues to deliver. Amazing opening to the second half of the season.
  18. I'm not the biggest Scalia fan but the President should be ashamed of not being there to pay homage to the man. Whether you agree with him or not, he's been one of the biggest contributors on the Court since his appointment and deserves respect. One of the neatest stories to come out of this horrible tragedy is the unique relationship between Scalia and Ginsburg. They couldn't be further apart on their ideologies but shared a deep mutual respect and a special friendship. Those buffoons in the other branches of government could learn a lot from the example set by those two.
  19. Again, that sword cuts both ways and just goes to show the hypocrisy of both parties. Most claim to be strict supporters of the clear reading of the Constitution - they should read article 2.
  20. As far as the original article, mercy rules should apply in baseball only (it's boring enough when the game isn't a blow out). I kid you baseball guys - it has a place there because there is no clock. In basketball, etc., if you don't like the result on the court/field, there are remedies. Work harder, do something different, etc. I applaud the coaches trying not to get up 50 pts in Nevada because it exposes the ridiculousness of the rule.
  21. Amen. Unfortunately in our state, this isn't always the case, especially in sports not called football.
  22. Neither Beaumont team is as good this year as last IMO. Not drastically worse but both teams lost their best player and other key seniors in key spots. Either could gel and make a run but I haven't seen them play up to the levels they were at last year yet. Really hope either one does and represents us at State this year. On the flip side, haven't seen enough of Bush or Elkins to know how much, if any, they have improved.
  23. I was going to call that statement bold but it's more appropriately another 4 letter word that starts with d and ends with b. There's at least 2 in Houston alone right now - Atascocita (Edwards and Shead) and SATCH (Caldwell and Davis). And probably have to throw in Cy Lakes based on Fox alone. Now if you were talking about last year's back court at Ozen with Hunter in the mix, it's a lot closer at least. But to answer the question at hand, I would probably agree with you. It's highly, highly unlikely that both will make the regional finals. I could see maybe one making it but I don't really have a feel on which one would have a better shot. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them made a run but I would be pretty shocked if both made it through the gauntlet and met up again for a shot at San Antonio.
  24. You may be right. And like I said, I would have voted for Dontre. But no one can act like a voter is an idiot for voting for Jack. Both had amazing seasons. Interestingly, the reason I would have voted for Thomas was due to his unbelievable numbers. But those making that argument are somewhat hypocritical to criticize Tims winning. Like ccs said, he might have led the state in tackles. Which is why I would have had to vote for him as well...
  25. Everyone that knows me knows how highly I think of Jack Dallas. But I would have voted exactly the same as you on both.
