  1. Yes we did. Everyone knew that Lumberton would accommodate their guests to the best of their abilities, no matter the circumstances. To complain would be a foreign and perplexing (and very immature) thing to do for HF fans, or pretty much any fan around the state. We look forward to reciprocating the hospitality in years to come...like both sides have done for over 50 years. But as you know...some yahoo(s) will inevitably spoil the fun. Best of luck the rest of the year to Lumberton and all of their great fans (and quite a few personal friends of mine).
  2. I'm going just so half of my posts about the game will solely consist of crapping on Lumberton's facilities. Just kidding...I would never do something that immature.
  3. With this ruling, I'm curious if any "incentive" exists for the property to be sold for actual value. For example, if the State is owed...say $10,000, but the property is worth...say $200,000, what would prevent the State from selling the property for just $10,000 (especially to a campaign donor). I'm 100% in favor of the ruling. If some kind of fair market value rules do not exist for these types of sales, that definitely should be looked into.
  4. Would you like to share those links to different points of view so us rubes can be enlightened to the same truth to which you are exposed? Of course you won't. It's called lying!
  5. The despicable moniker should be placed directly on you (and Big Girl). You have fallen for one of the oldest and very obvious political tricks. That is: Name a bill and provide as the purpose of the bill some noble help for citizens, then insert all of your pork projects that can't pass on their own. When anyone dares to vote against it, accuse them of hating Americans. The Democrats, and to a much lesser extent, Republicans, have been doing this for years. And here we have two supposedly educated people falling for this obvious trickeration. How despicable. This is just the first article I found from a simple search. More evidence is readily available.

  6. Since both the Republicans and Democrats have no desire or willingness to deport illegals from this country, should we at least assess a surcharge to companies that employ people that are illegally occupying our country? Both parties claim to put American citizens above illegals, but everyone can see that is an outright lie. If companies are forced to pay more for employing an illegal worker, would that increase the value of unemployed legal Americans? Would the extra revenue afforded the government go to good use? Would this put a strain on our economy to a point that implementing this strategy actually hurts the country? Should only certain jobs have this caveat? How high of a penalty should companies pony up for utilizing illegal labor? What are your thoughts? Since I have no desire to allow anyone that is illegally residing in our country to remain, I have no argument to make one way or the other. This topic is about as mute (or moot...you decide) for me as you can get. But I'm curious as to how others feel about this idea.
  7. He and his dad (Curtis) are legends at HF. He was a good high school RB. He flourished at Rice. He went from a finesse runner at HF to a power runner in college. I was very impressed with his transition to the college level. Reminds me a lot of the transition Roschon Johnson made on style of running. I keep wondering if Anthony Semien was the RB in 1991. I think he graduated in 1990 though. My memory is way worse than 20-20.
  8. I can't remember off hand. I'm guessing Spencer George and Kenny Porter.
  9. Not even close. HF won 70-0 in 1991 to set the record. The Rice Bowl was discontinued for almost a decade after that game.
  10. Of course...done on purpose. It wasn't near as pompous as his posts, but I was working my way up.
