Nope, I got a plasma tv just to watch my Astros. I like players like Hunter Pence too much to stop viewing. Even if the Astros lose, I still like to watch the effort he brings. I can even do something in another room and come back in to see if Pence is up in the inning. If they win, they win, if they lose, they lose, but I still like Pence.

I read what Oswalt said and I see nothing dumb about any of it. At least he takes a stand and doesn't ride the fence.....wanting to crucify some and let others slide. I agree with what he said. Sorry, I don't like cheaters.

I remember Biggio for being unselfish. He'd play wherever they wanted him to play. He should have gotten starting all-star at 2nd base sooner, but there was a fella by the name of Ryne Sandberg playing for the Cubs who seemed to always beat him out. Biggio also had a clutch bat. I liked Biggio much better than Bagwell. I'm glad I lived during Biggio's playing days.

Should I start a Roger Clemens thread so you can rant on his behalf?

Who knows if this will work? I think adding another bat to the lineup is like buying melons in Louisiana for $1.00, and selling them in Texas for $1.00, and thinking that your problem is that you need a bigger truck.

I think Bonds entering the HOF is the least of his worries right now. There's a federal grand jury he has to answer to and it doesn't look good. You don't lie to grand juries. Bonds, what a peach of a guy he is. He'd let people rot in jail for him. Of course his trainer is probably getting hush money, but still, sit in jail...and he may be going back? I don't care for Bonds, A-Rod, Giambi, Clemens, Sosa, McGwire, any of them that used steroids to make them bigger than life (pun intended). baseball25, you are right. Average Joe isn't going to benefit much from using steroids. It will help a good player be better, but it will help a great player be the record holder instead of just one in a top ten list. I feel so sorry for the guys who were the best players without steroids (Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Nolan Ryan, Ted Williams, Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris) being overshadowed by those that had to cheat because "they really weren't better".

Here is why the PAM coach hasn't gotten any color photo coverage. Man, I'd hate to see his wife. Don't take it too hard SFA85, it's just a joke.

Maybe steroids doesn't help him hit a curve, slider, etc..., but it does help the ball get over the fence instead of dropping short for a routine flyout. Gold glove for the outfield doesn't impress me much. I say take the records away from all of them and let the records belong to the players I want my kids to look up to, instead of the cheaters. My kid can't even drive his truck to school without someone testing him for drugs/steroids, yet society wants to let Bonds and other's cheating accomplishments stand. Where are our sense of values? Leave my kid alone, he's done nothing wrong. Gabe, I don't think the excuse that "everybody else was doing it" has ever held water.

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!

I keep reading about PNG's ''Tradition''. I was just wondering when that point in time occurred? Was it when it was PN, or after you added the G? Does it take 5 years...10? When can any of the rest of the teams around here claim to have tradition? This is a serious question and one I have no answer for.

Learning a complex offensive scheme will be more of a challenge than worrying about the talent. As far as Mid County did you attend the PNG - Nederland Freshman game this past season? ;D I was there, Nederland had like 300 yards of penalties, the best team don't always win, that was the case that night. The Nederland freshman class was the most talented group of freshman I saw play last year. Nederland had 5 sophs starting on varsity last year, they have some of their most talent laden classes coming through since Neumann has been there. The CO group hasn't lost in 3 years... we'll just play the games and find out. Typical statement, we've heard this EXCUSE before. We admit it, we have never beat Nederland because we were better than them. Even though the record over time is in our favor 47 -31 -7. All 47 of those wins was because of the officials(bad calls) or ya'll had some of your players injured.Ya'll were better and should have won all 47 of those games.We know!!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I was going to congratulate PNG on getting a new coach. Ok, I'll do it anyway....CONGRATS Posts like the one above make me ill. A program on the brink of extinction, all of a sudden gets a new coach, then you start the trash talk with lifetime records. Dude, get a life. There is absolutely no comparison between sub-varsity and varsity ball.

Well I think the Spread O is personnel driven vs. just plug and play. You either have to have a slew of RB's coming through or a wave of QB's and WR's plus the Oline has to be stellar year in and out. Thanks for the reply. I was more curious about the defense, since you have always claimed that spread-o teams have soft defenses because they practice against the spread blocking schemes (which you call finesse blocking).

SFA85, what about LaMarque? Are they just the one in a thousand? They have had great offenses and defenses over the years. Maybe it has a lot to do with talent. Dayton has been doing well too.

....less government control.

I refuse to bash this kid on a mesaage board. Was what he did against the law? NO!!!!!! This happened ''in house'' and should stay ''in house''. Johnson is a fine upstanding young man and all of you should be ashamed for putting negative crap out there. There's more gossip on here than in a henhouse.

I saw it live. He broke his left hand coming back down. He slightly overshot his landing, but a broken hand is nothing to him.

You would have to admit playing for a USC, Bama, Penn St., S. Carolina, Michigan(before Carr left) got the average player ready for the pros better due to the offenses and defense ran there. Plus, some of those school mentioned have ex-NFL coaches that know how to prepare their kids for the next level. They tend not to fall for the latest Spread/Nickle D gimmick that is pervasive in college ball.... Looks like the spread-o of Utah manhandled Bama pretty well. You have to be anything but a sissy to do that. If you're good enough, it doesn't matter if you ran a spread offense, NFL scouts will still see the potential and use you appropriately

Didn't TW already have FOXHD (Sunday football). It seemed like it was in the 860's-870's. Yes, I have Fox HD on 870 (lower cable channel 11). Fox Sports HD is on 871. The there is a Fox Sports Southwest on lower cable channel 26 (Astros), which has its HD channel on 894, but it doesn't always have something on. Hey, I have it and it's confusing to me. I think everything should be HD. My TV hates the lower channels.

If you are really good and can play well at the next level, the scouts find you. It doesn't matter where you play. High profile teams give you TV exposure, but like I said, scouts are everywhere. Texas fields many NFL players every year. Competition is what it's all about anyway, so wherever you go, you will have to beat out somebody. TT....I'm sure Harrell and Crabtree both will make it plus some of their linemen.

They gotta come knocking before you can turn them down. :

TW just added channel 871 HD Fox.

Don't say stuff like that. Nederland always has a chance with the coaching they have. Thank you. We also lost by 2 points (32-30) in 2004 due to 2 missed extra points.

What the heck happened in 2001-02-03? (should have been 2000 also)...Not a chance? Just say you think your team will win.

If the Orange Bowl is on Fox cable channel 2 is what is advertising it right now. Cable channel 14 is coming in with NBC ads, and Fox is on cable channel 2. The Orange Bowl will be shown according to my TV. My TV guide at the bottom of the screen, telling me what channel I am on when I change channels, is still wrong, but the programming is changed already, if that makes sense.

"Who's wine? What wine? Where the H**l did I dine? Must of been a dream, C'mon let's do it again......" "Do you feel like I do?" I'm gonna take Peter Frampton's advice and do it again. There! I just popped open the first one!!! [move]Happy New Year[/move] How about the part...."I don't believe where I've been".... Was that left out intentionally? :
