I was at ACME Oyster House in Baton Rouge this summer and they, unbelievably, were "out of oysters". Plenty of great seafood there but you were OOL if you actually wanted oysters. Female waiter told us it was due to a number of factors, especially crazy high diesel fuel prices. (Bidenflation). Hope they are back in the oyster business by now. Check 'em out. [Hidden Content]

Agreed. Sterling likely 2nd seed. Go Rangers!

All good, I will zoom into the scenarios after this weekend. I get it that your district is pretty well definied and if the reverse was true I would be looking your way.

Yes its fun to look and think about all of this but lots more clarity will come very soon. Too much ambiguity at this point.

He is not retired, he still tries to throw his weight around here, and he is a huge, huge fan of Crosby and EC.

No you are not, I understand it but the NON CREDIBLE posters here are not capable of understanding that.

Obviously 5th place teams don't even participate. Why did you even say that? Oh thats right you just want to critique me every single chance you get. You and your fishing buddy 0.142. Now, IN MY OPINION its of little or no value for a team to stagger into the playoffs in 4th and get humilited by a ton of points against a Top 5 or even Top 1 team. What would you do Aggie? Wear your T-shirt and brag about your team if they endured a 60 point first round loss? Thats just NOT CREDIBLE to me but maybe thats the way soft sensitive PC type people of todays culture looks at things. The exception is if they can do what BH did last year, rise up and punch a Top ranked undefeated FBM in the mouth. Good luck whoever gets Longview, in Longview.

I did say 'thats my opinion". Try respecting that. I tell my kids to "earn it" and not count on wearing participation ribbons. All the power to ya, if thats what you want, though.

It would help. Lee fought hard but just didn't have enough horses to run the whole game. D-II would be a better fit.

LOL. I played...LOTS. It depends what your goals and expectations are. If you want a Playoff T-shrt, then a 200 mile bus ride to Longview to get embarassed 49-0 in the 1st round, have at it. I have a higher goal in mind, but I take no offense if you want a 4th place T-shirt and a participation ribbon.

Correct. They get them from Katy ISD.

I feel bad for Lee. They need to be in D-ll.

Anahuac is not as good as I thought they were earlier in the year. I don't follow it close so maybe injuries and such happened to them but right now I think Anahuac end up 3rd behind EC/OF (or OF/EC).

To me a 4th place finish is about the same as a 5th place finish, but thats just me.

I don't know where thats coming from. BH will be picked to lose the next two and then the last game is something like a toss up. BH could absolutely, positively miss the playoffs.

When people state here "they could not raise their kids without coaches" that's reverence. You are just looking for a spot of missed paint on my door.

Yes. Re-read and comprehend: A six figure salary is not unheard of. "not unheard of" is an accurate statement, and in NO WAY infers most make that. Coaching salaries and teaching salaries have definitely been trending UP. Why? Teaching shortages today demand higher compensation. I went to lengths to say teachers salaries have rose significantly. None of that is "negative" its accurate and part of an open discussion. Its actually positive. Sorry everyone "found something negative" in my words. I didn't mean to hurt everyone's DELICATE feelings.

Seriously? We can't raise our kids without coaches? Seriously? Morals, values and ethics need to come from the home! Coaches certainly should be a good role model and all but no way is "raising our kids" dependent on them. God gave kids parents!

To be fair they could also make LESS in countless other industries too. A six figure salary is not unheard of. Even a high 5 figure salary is very very good. Teachers as a whole made a lot less 15-20 years ago but compensation has since rose significantly. I certainly respect most coaches but I don't revere any of them. They are just people too, just like in other professions. If someone chooses to be a coach they need to understand a bit of the spotlight comes with the job. Its not for the thin skinned. (No, this is not coach bashing. Its just a discussion.)

Rethink it: What Biden’s ‘Where’s Jackie?’ moment says about the media (msn.com) Regarding the latter, it is stunning that some outlets didn’t cover “Where’s Jackie?” CNN is the most notable, only because we’re continually being told of the network’s pivot back to the political center under new management (Discovery) and its new president (Chris Licht). But while CNN White House Correspondent Phil Mattingly asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about it during the daily briefing that day, CNN itself did not broach it on air. Hurricane coverage was front and center, of course, but the network also covered the Jan. 6th committee and former President Trump’s legal battles, so there was room. I was right. CNN dodged it trying to cover Bidens senility. They would have stroked out if Trump had said it, 24/7 round the clock.

I would like to think that too but it seems the Dims will ALWAYS get a pass. If Hillary didn't do time behind bars no Dim will either. Their accountability IS coming, but just not in this world. Dementia Joe is about to turn 80, just saying. Hillary is mid 70's...

Sterling is the best of those three teams. They should end up 2nd.

BH 3-0 over Crosby.

EXACTLY RIGHT. How anyone can infer the extreme liberal media is not extremely liberal is beyond me. Funny how quickly my words were examined and tried to find fault with them. Maybe Bobcat will apply a bit of scrutiny to the lying, corrupt CNN next time, instead of a random poster on SETXSports.
