Only by listening to KLVI, Nederland got hammered a couple of times on calls or non-calls. Part of the game but they seemed to think that a couple should have been clear cut. With the NFHS non-video….. who knows.

Listening to KLVI, physically Nederland is at least with them. Penalties and bad plays have killed them.

At about 10pm last night Beaumont PD investigated a shooting where an unborn child was murdered. If proven guilty of Capital Murder, the 18-year-old suspect faces life without parole or the death penalty.

As far as some threads go off on a tangent, mentioning a shooting in a murder forum seems trivial at best. 😎

Certainly there are some ridiculous games in the first round. In some districts the 4th place team might be almost as good as the first place team or certain competitive. In others, usually because of a limited number of teams, the 4th place team is an embarrassment as far as any real shot at moving on. Should the playoff rules reflect the majority of situations or the anomaly? Let’s take the 3 team suggestion. I assume that the first place team gets a bye and the second and third place team play each other in bi-district. That however doesn’t reduce the number of weeks of the playoffs. It is the exact same weeks to the championship but with number one team getting the bye week. There is certainly some merit to that but it doesn’t shorten the playoffs. In the current situation, with number one playing number four, if the fourth place team is unworthy of the playoffs, they will quickly be dispatched as we found out last night. So instead of a bye and sitting at home, the number one team gets a patsy and they get to play it at home. That after all, is all we are talking about. So between a 3 or 4 team playoff system, at week 2 of the playoffs, the exact same number of teams will be left. In effect, nothing changes as far as the number of weeks until the championship game. For 2/3 of the teams, it will be the same number of games regardless. It seems like a tempest in a teacup. LET’S KEEP THAT FOURTH PLACE TEAM OUT!! So the only real significant change in the playoffs would be to reduce the number of playoff teams to two and be done with it. If the goal is a reward for being number one, it makes sense to change the current system. Merely eliminating a fourth place team for the sake of eliminating the fourth place team however, changes almost nothing except for a bye week perk for the number one team.

The deaths are always tragic for the family.

I was reading that earlier. That was a funny deal.

Location matters… It should be obvious that murder or any crime can happen anywhere. Certainly a horrific crime can happen anywhere at any time. But…. The odds or frequency are sometimes heavily skewed to some locations. The Mid-County cities of Nederland, Port Neches and Groves have a population of about 50,000 people. Beaumont is about 2.3 times the size of Mid-County. According to FBI statistics, in the last 5 years Mid-County has had 6 murders. Going by size and on a 1 to 1 ratio, Beaumont should have had 14 murders in the same time period of 5 years. Beaumont has had 79 murders in that time frame and a person has an almost 600% more likely chance of being a victim of a murder in Beaumont. So in comparison to size, Beaumont has had an additional 65 more murders than would have occurred in Mid-County in 5 years. That doesn’t mean that the people in Beaumont are bad because 113,000 people in Beaumont didn’t commit a murder last year. Some people have a difficult time with the fact that some areas have a much higher rate of violent crime and the average person has a much higher percentage of being a victim in those areas. Statements like, “crime can happen anywhere” are 100% correct. It’s also a fact that some areas have a many times higher likelihood of it happening.

No slack time in Beaumont, TX!! By the national average, Beaumont should have about 4 murders per year I will guess that they have gone beyond the national average [Hidden Content]
