Moshier was a liability under center about every third week. I’ve got Bryson and Hunter. -
Sure you can. Schools get banned from postseason play before the season even starts sometimes. [Hidden Content] October 2024, the girls team at a faith Harmony was banned from postseason play before the season even started. Burkeville got a postseason ban, just like HD. The fact that they weren’t going to make the playoffs was purely incidental. And you just admitted they it’s your OPINION that Burkeville didn’t get a ban. You’ve got no evidence to show that Burkeville was spared punishment. Please revisit when the UIL makes its decision public, please.

Forgive me, but I keep hearing how HD fans think it’s unfair because they’re missing the playoffs while BVille wasn’t going anyways. Otherwise I’ve seen no proof, other than news reports that state the opposite. Not redacted, either.
-
Is it possible that the UIL believed that HD (and its fans) bore the majority of the blame for the rumble/brawl/donnybrook? Because honestly, I do. Was there a release by the UIL over the discipline? I haven’t seen it.

They both got the same punishment… a playoff ban. It just didn’t affect Burkeville as badly as it did HD. HD, who appeared to have much, much more of the blame for what occurred that evening. I’m walking up the street with two of my boys and somebody walks up and sticks a gun in our faces and demands all of our money. My two friends are both carrying wallets full of cash, but I left mine at home. You’re trying to argue that the three of us didn’t get robbed. We all DID get robbed, it just sucked worse for my buddies than for me. The concept is simple. All parties fairly got a playoff ban. It just didn’t cost BVille as much.

Far be it from me to take sides, but… My understanding of the situation is that a kid from Burkeville (possibly an ejected player?) was in the stands behind the HD bench and started the incident, escalating it by taking a swing at an HD Player. The footage then shows multiple HD players heading into the stands punching that kid and possibly others. Then you see the Burkeville players come into frame from the right and join the melee. The balance of the footage shows a scrum on the floor with at least two parents punching a BVille kid…. Not trying to break up the fight, but joining in. The punishment handed to HD is far too light in my opinion. But it’s kind of hard to punish different kids next year for what these kids/parents did this year. The outcome(s) would have been totally different if the HD kid who got punched had stepped away. Even if HE retaliated and got punished, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But when pretty much the entire HD team (and community) got into it, the situation changed. If HD players and fans knew how to act, they’d have a game to play next week. But they don’t, and that’s deservedly so. They’ve got no one to blame but themselves.

So… one of the punishments for having a DWI is losing your license for a year. Two guys get DWIs, but one of them has never had a license. You’re arguing it’s unfair that drunk HD (who had a license) loses his license for a year, while drunk B(ville) isn’t affected because he didn’t have a license anyways. The fact is this. If your team wants to go all “Malice in the Palace,” you’re done for the year. If you’re dumb enough to mix it up with a school who isn’t worried about missing the playoffs, that’s just compounded ignorance. The fact that y’all keep arguing that punishments handed out identically are somehow unfair because it affects one team worse than the other is just female energy.

Ticket for speeding is $250. To a rich guy it’s a joke… he’ll drop that playing a round of golf today. To a mom whose lights are being shut off tomorrow, that $250 ticket is soul-crushing. They both got the same punishment, it just stings a little bit worse if you’re HD. And maybe next time the parents/fans/etc at HD will keep their dumb butts in the stands where they belong.
-
Nope…. The punishment is the same. Season is over for both. It just stings a little worse for HD. They played a stupid game and both went all in… HD just shoved more to the center of the table. It’s too late to cry about the stakes when cards are all face up.
-
They got the same punishment that HD did. No playoffs. It’s like this… two guys go to jail for a month. One of them was homeless and the other one a working man. The homeless guy gets a roof over his head, three meals, a day, and a mattress to sleep on. Net win. The working man loses his job and his truck gets repossessed while he’s in the can…. But the punishment was the same. Fair is where you go to eat a corn dog and kiss a pig. HD had more to lose and fought anyways-that just dumb.
-
Good call by the UIL… HD’s players, students, and fans don’t deserve a trip to the playoffs. “But they started it” doesn’t get you a pass for your own terrible behavior.

What an ugly incident. My opinion is that the SEC should ban HD from postseason play based on the behavior of the team and the fans. I think Burkeville deserves the same punishment, but it’s irrelevant since they weren’t playoff bound anyways. It doesn’t matter who started it when the entire gym is fighting.

There are graphs included for the ones of y’all that need pitchas. [Hidden Content] No spin, just facts, displayed as total borrowing, then broken down by COVID and non-COVID. Biden’s borrowing was bad, but Trump’s borrowing was horrible.
-
Well… with a basic education you’d realize that the inflation was caused by Trump‘s deficit spending before and during COVID, and that Biden helped to calm inflation down-it makes sense. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if history repeats itself.

This nothing to worry about. [Hidden Content] What could possibly go wrong with a “sovereign wealth fund,” where we print money to “invest.” Man, Wall Street is salivating. The rich just gonna get richer and the rest of us are gonna die a slow, painful death.
