If UBL has been dead for several years and the "raid" was a staged event for reelection purposes, why not spring it around August 2012 right before the election and not almost two years out. This raid is a done deal and yesterday's news as far as the polls. The latest Gallup shows (at the moment) Obama over an unknown Republican 43%-40%. If all this was done for a bump in the election it needed to be done a lot later in the process. Doing this for poll purposes makes no sense. Having the SEALS go in instead of just sending in a rocket makes it look like a poll to claim that we can confirm his demise but hiding the body for 10 years and springing the news now doesn't make any sense.

[/quote] That is of course with the exception of BrenhamFan.  Talk to us man!  It looks like y'all are getting hammered! [/quote] They are probably swimming for their lives the way the radar looks. No time to post.  :)

Yep. If I just want to go fishing and bet $25, I can get one of my friends and bet on who catches the most bass in Taylor's Bayou or the most specks on the dock across the street from where I work. It will save a lot of time and money for the same results.

It is true that they "played" those games but not counting district games, BC had a losing record against those playoff teams. Great season for BC so far. Keep it going against Smithville.

[quote name="NHS83LU87" post="1008914" timestamp="1305156262"] What is the purpose of this post?  I haven't heard any all district picks yet. [/quote] Looked to me like an apology for something that has yet to happen.  ???

[quote name="BOHICA5581" post="1000175" timestamp="1303308908"] I predict 19-4A goes 4-0 against that weak division down east on I-10... [/quote] Oh well..... 1-3 is kinda like 4-0.... isn't it?

GCM had to hold on to stop a 20-4A sweep as the Pirates pushed them.

LC-M can clinch 2nd place with a win. [/quote]Ok I hate to say it but both of these teams swept Vidor! That being said, I think Nederland will take this unless they back off to save some players..... [/quote] Nederland did not sweep Vidor. Vidor gave Nederland its only loss in the first district game.

Dang.. I just post about no poles and dynamite and THEN read hippie's post.... and he already has both.  >:( ;D Maybe great minds think alike.

[quote name="westend1" post="1002814" timestamp="1303917294"] that would never work.  I'm an elitist and only use dry flies with barbless hooks(wouldn't want to hurt those fish)   [size=10pt][b]You rednecks probably bomb away with crankbaits[/b][/size] and probably would stop in the middle of the tourney to try to catch a few catfish for supper later.      ;D [/quote] You mean us rednecks would bomb away with.... bombs. Nothing like throwing in small sticks of dynamite to enhance the catch.

[/quote] My guess is that you just weren't too impressed with his fishing skills.       ;D [/quote] I wasn't too impressed with MY fishing skills that day.  I've been out with him a few times, though, and we always have a good time.  I just don't have a boat, but I do have someone else who can go, so i figured he could bring someone like me from the site who does not have a boat (TVC, for example), and I could bring in an extra boat for a tourney.  [/quote] Too bad we cant fish 3 in a boat.......Westend, tvc and me.......that would be one fun fishin trip..... [/quote] ... and we wouldn't even need fishing poles.

[quote name="thetragichippy" post="1002086" timestamp="1303752097"] We have talked about it, but last time we had I think 3 boats.......... If we could get more than 3 boats, I would be all in........I have fished both tourneys.....The participation was very weak.... [/quote] Yep. Lots of talk... not a lot of showing up.

[quote name="bigdog" post="1001430" timestamp="1303497513"] Do you really believe that? Lcm had a chance to at least tie for the DC if they had won. Although and outside chance. [/quote] That's what I was wondering. They could be the district champions but they decided to let some kids throw? Hmmm........

Or in the colloquial idiom of the day.... My bad.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1001282" timestamp="1303451355"] I'm saying with a PNG win, and a LCM loss next week they are tied for second. Which is likely. [/quote] I missed the "can". Silly me.

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="1001199" timestamp="1303442824"] So PNG can now tie for second after all the adversity this year? Impressive guys. [/quote] I think they are tied for 3rd. Nederland is 1, LCM is 2 and PNG and Livingston tied for 3rd with Vidor one game back.

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1001158" timestamp="1303439277"] It looks like PNG will make the playoffs with that win.  Stone went 6 with Anderson closing.  Provost may be the toughest out in the district. Good job at the plate by the Indians. [/quote] I wouldn't count my chickens before they hatch. PNG still has to get by Central.

[quote name="PNGFan" post="1000877" timestamp="1303414123"] Sorry I do not like the open enrollment. If they do open it up they need to charge. Not fair to the tax payers of the district. And to be honest I am not impressed from what I've seen from Cavnass. He is another Thomas. [/quote] I understand the idea of not paying your fair share but when a student transfers, he is effect brings his own tax money. The state pays for the child (up to $5,600 I think) to be in that school and it is probably a lot more than many or most are already paying for their kids to go to any school. As an example, if 100 kids transfer to PNGISD or any district, that can be about half a million dollars added to the budget. How much tuition do they need to then pay to go to a public school? Also remember, taxes are only paid by homeowners so the parents many PNGISD students are not paying any taxes. Considering that they bring money with them from the state (and let's be real, that is why districts want open enrollment) and the parents of many students living in the district don't pay taxes either, wanting to make transfers pay out of fairness to the "taxpayers" is not a valid reason.

Great game by PNG with their backs against the wall. This thread is about the game.. right?

[quote name="baddog" post="999929" timestamp="1303266256"] Played a complete game and the score gap widened. Great win Dogs. i believe that this win coupled with the LCM loss makes the Dogs district champs, but I will let the experts decide. Go Dogs! [/quote] Two games up with two games left. Dogs win at least a co-championship.

Like the old saying goes, they each have their fate in their own hands. Win out and they are in.
