Maybe I am wrong and I’m sure someone will correct me if I am. I think Dan Hooks, Larry Neumann and Brandon Faircloth all were assistants only before being named head coach at WOS, Nederland and a PNG. That is a fairly long track record of some of the winningest coaches in this area in recent years. I think all three are the winningest coach in each school’s history and all coached against each other. With Hooks and Neumann, I believe it was their only head coaching job. They did not come from somewhere else as a head coach and never moved on to somewhere else. Until yesterday that was true of Faircloth. Much talk is made of bringing in some mythical head coach with a long résumé but that may not always be the right answer.

It has the same effect on me……

To be fair, I have hardly seen anyone defend Trump’s tweets. To it contrary most people say they wish he would stop the tweets as he would make life a lot easier and get more votes. They often make jokes about Trump’s big faux pas is “mean tweets” and “orange man bad” but that is hardly an endorsement or “great tweet” comment. Probably 97.65% of Trump supporters simply point out that his big transgressions are tweets and over the top embellished statements. I have not seen a lot of high-fiving over a Trump tweet.

But he’s not an outsider……

The comedy of the whole situation is the rationale behind BLM‘s claim. They want the facts to come out before decision is made on whether something is right or wrong when an officer was shot. I don’t agree with them completely but they do make a somewhat valid point. The problem with this information coming from BLM is they absolutely in the ultimate act of hypocrisy, never wait for facts to come out when a black person is killed by the police. From the moment a black person is pronounced deceased, they KNOW that the officer is wrong and the protest start almost immediately. It is completely disingenuous and ludicrous to immediately claim that a police officer is guilty without knowing any facts but then turn around and say that if an officer is the victim, we need to see what happened before for judgment is made.

I think maybe Biden was correct this time. The Fox reporter was completely wrong in the situation. Peter Doocy did not pick up the instructions going into the news conference and messed up and went off script. He asked Biden a real question. Totally unacceptable!!!

Well, he did not do it in a tweet…..

NOT EEEE NUFFF!!!

I heard he was the WOS first choice but he knew the PNG job was coming up and….

I would imagine it will be a good turnout, maybe not even to protest but just to hear what is happening and see who votes yes or no. I would actually expect that no matter who the coach is going to be.

That would imply that there are rumors out there that are not true. Surely that is not correct…..

Apparently 1984 went from being basically a textbook for most high school students to, I’m sorry young adults but you can’t handle this fiction… Because it might be (is) coming true.

As opposed than a dyed in the wool Foreman supporter?

Is that depending on Biden not on the ballot? If Biden decides to run, is the rest of the Democratic Party going to choose anybody but Biden?

KY HB91 constitutional amendment only allows KY to pass an abortion/anti-abortion law…. which they did in 2018. I think that is it one of the United States Supreme Court is debating. If the United States of Supreme Court upholds the Kentucky 11 week abortion ban as lawful under the United States Constitution, a person in Kentucky could always come back and contest the 11 week ban under the state constitution. HB91 would nullify any such Kentucky Constitution question because their Constitution says under HB91 that abortion is not a right. The Texas law is an entirely different ball game.

Again, hopefully the Court will overturn this disastrous Texas law but uphold the Kentucky law as a means to give states more authority.

It has been almost 30 years ago but Larry Neumann was not a head coach when he came to Nederland. He was an assistant coach at Thomas Jefferson in Port Arthur. There were almost certainly other applicants, some with head coaching experience and maybe good records. For whatever reason, Nederland decided to go outside and hire an untested assistant. Neumann was thought to be a good fit for that job. I think it worked out well for them. Hopefully Coach Hickman with no head coaching experience, is that good fit and can do the same at WOS.

You betcha….. I would venture to guess that this was not a blindside and nobody behind the scenes saw this coming. The superintendent, like a city manager, is hired by the board/council to work for them and be the administrator of what they want done. Surely there were discussions or indications behind the scenes.

Wait for it…..

Lest ye go against the Democrat establishment party line….. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, most people probably agree in general that the Democrats appear in lockstep in public. When they walk out of that smoke filled room for a meeting with the Speaker of the House, they all sing the same song. They might not do so behind closed doors but in public they always stick together. They could be good because I also be very bad. Now we are beginning to see what happens when a very few of them try to step off of the sinking ship.

Thanks…. But some might think I am a self proclaimed facebook lawyer. 😆

Like driving away to be safe and not creating the confrontation…..

That is why in my comment previously I said, it was difficult because we really don’t know what happened. We could easily do a what if scenario where the officer jumped out of his truck to stop the guy and the guy reached into his pocket and said I’m going to stab you. At that point the game changes. It would be easy for a witness 50 feet away who did not hear or see exactly what was happening to tell the media, he shot the guy for breaking his windshield wiper. I could probably fill up a book with things I have heard during investigations that was not a lie but turned out not to be true. It is what the person saw or heard and from their vantage point it looked like something that it was not. Add example locally was a few years ago when an off-duty officer in Orange shot and killed a guy at an auto parts store. A guy was making racial slurs and causing at disturbance at the store when an off duty officer who was shopping at the store in plain clothes, told him to be quiet. The officer then told the man he was under arrest. The man made some comments something like the also was not in uniform so he didn’t have to comply or he was not a real cop or whatever. The guy tried to get into a truck to leave (as a passenger) and the officer pulled a handgun and pointed at the guy and told him to stop. At some point in the interaction the guy tried to head butt or lunge for the officer’s weapon. He fired one time and killed a man. Of course the comments came out that the office duty officer killed a man for profanity and racial slurs. No, he tried to arrest the man for the comments but used deadly force in self-defense of his person when he reasonably believe the man was trying to take his gun away. Just like the off-duty officer with the windshield wiper, it may not have been what started the incident but it may have escalated to a point of lawful deadly force. Deadly force to protect yourself from an attack is a lot more simple to explain I think. Generally the other person has to be doing something unlawful that can cause you serious bodily injury or death. Under Texas law as long as you’re legally at your location, you have no duty to retreat but you cannot be committing a crime. An example would be if you broke into someone’s house and they pulled a gun on you, you could not shoot them in self-defense. You were the one committing the crime of burglary by breaking into the home. In Texas if you can make a claim of self-defense, the burden of proof is on the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt it was not self-defense. Also in Texas, you can use force or deadly force to protect another person or another person’s property just as if it was your own if you have a reasonable belief that if you were in the same situation, it would be lawful.

Yep, if you take opinions out of a forum designed for people to give their opinions……

Just like a bomb threat. I guess active shooter has a better potential of reality than a bomb threat. Call in a fake report and watch the police respond….
