I just don't see it myself. Will they have a competitive team? Probably. Will they make the playoffs? Maybe. Will they improve on last year going two games deep in the playoffs? I doubt it. Nederland will have to go to the quarterfinals to beat last years team. I don't see this year's team making that kind of an improvement. The most improved team is one that was near the bottom of the pack but will challenge for the top this year. Teams that can easily show improvement over last year are teams like Ozen, Jasper, Lumberton, etc.

"Stalker" and "Wet Dreams"? I am afraid to ask about that board. ;D

A "for profit" radio station enters into a contract "for profit". Is there something wrong with that? It doesn't matter where the office happens to be, it only matters the dollars coming in. Anyone that seems to think that since KLVI's studio sits in Beaumont they somehow owe allegiance to Beaumont teams has lost it. Offer more money than Nederland does in advertising and sponsorships and I would bet that KLVI would jump ship in a moment. Not only would KLVI be doing live broadcasts of the Nederland games on the radio, there signal is also streamed on the internet. Why is there a need to have two internet streams of the same game?

I think the .270 is popular since it is easy to find ammo for it and it is somewhat of a compromise between the really heavy rounds and the light fast rounds.

I report that I have been too busy working to go fishing.

How do ties count in winning percentage? Nederland has 800+ games and is somewhere about 60-61%, according to how you figure in ties.

Yeah, Lumberton's winning season is going to be ruined before it starts due to some fans on a bulletin board. Lumberton has 16 starters returning and if they get it together, they can make some noise in district. Every dog has his day and maybe this year will be Lumberton's.... that is unless the fans on the bulletin board derail it. (Sarcasm intended) :

For a team that does not have a lot of winning history behind it, Vidor brings a decent crowd and they can be loud when the time is right.

In their last 25 meetings, Nederland leads the series with Vidor 17-8. That is going back to 1975. They did not play from 1988 until 1995. Also in 2000 they played twice, once in preseason and once in bi-district. ... and I think Central will win the district with Dayton winning if Central does not.

Well, you're only 38 years wrong. More like the second time in 5 years. Vidor won in 2001.

Nederland's 11 straight years might very well end this year. Will Lumberton's 40+ straight years end? :

If you hit him "perfect", why didn't you find him? I've seen people on my lease shoot a deer with a .270 and a .308 and they ran off not to be found. They didn't hit them perfect either.

Only if I can find a ride. I have several friends that say maybe yes and maybe no. I don't have a pickup at the moment and need a way to get my Honda Recon there. If the pastures were within walking distance I would go by myself but they are not. It's a little far to drive my 4-wheeler from Beaumont to almost Eagle Pass. If I find a ride, I will be there without fail.

Just a plain ol' .308? ;D

Good try anyway besbolbenbedygud. You did not find one that answers my posts but you get an "A" for effort. I said that there is no way to file a successful lawsuit if a student tests positive, thereby denying the student college. These are my posts dealing with positive a test not if the test was legal. I did say that there may be a lawsuit for privacy rights five days ago. These are quotes from the lawsuit: "violate Ginelle's right to be free from unreasonable government searches........it's government requiring an invasive search of young students who haven't done anything wrong". Oops, the lawsuit says Free From Searches and Invasive Searches, also known as Privacy Rights. That translates to my post of 6-06-07 which addresses a possible lawsuit over privacy rights. There have been and always will be lawsuits over privacy issues. That suit is no different and they have been filed before. There are suits in other areas of privacy such as companies requiring a Polygraph/Lie Detector tests for employment. The girl in the lawsuit is filing for unlawful searches and invasion of privacy not for testing positive and having her career ruined. I said exactly that five days ago. When you find one that addresses my posts about a positive test keeping a kid from college, feel free to post it.

I kind of doubt that there will be any large growth in the schools. Most of the workers will be construction workers. They will not be moving here permanently and they will probably leave their families whereever they are. Most will be living in temporary places such as apartments and hotels until the jobs are finshed. The surrounding cities might see an increase in population during construction but I doubt many of the schools will.

Because it is an injury caused to a kid on their field with their bases doing the damage. You can always make a case for an injury since there is injury to someone that was caused by someone else's property or negligence. Your slick floor caused me to slip. Your baseline was not leveled properly and I fell. Your second base was not anchored correctly and I twisted my ankle. Your ladder was not stable enough....... blah blah blah. That is a far cry from a kid doing drugs, getting caught and then blaming the people that caught him. There have been drug tests at businesses for years. I am sure that many people have been fired because of it. Where are the lawsuits? Now we have NFL players that are banned for a year or more due to positive drug tests. They were not arrested, they just tested positive. They have millions of dollars and the best lawyers money can buy. Where are the lawsuits? Nope, it just won't wash.

Stick to the topic and end the personal jabs.

If that is the case then people will soon be suing because the cops allowed their kid to smoke dope. It just won't happen. Spilling some coffee provided by a vendor and it causes harm is one thing. As goofy as that lawsuit seemed, at least you could point to another person and say that "your product harmed me" so I should have been warned. Going out and obtaining your own illegal substance and putting it into your body is an entirely different issue as far as blaming someone else unless the student does it with the coaches help or consent. Even then it would not be the positive test that is the issue but the aid of the school district in the drugs.

I would agree. I think the fact that a new large high school is going to be built has pretty much ended the belief that there will be more than one high school for many years to come. If there was a reason for a surge in population then maybe but I don't see that in the near future. More like PA will lose population, not gain it.

It won't happen and I don't see how an attorney would try to file such a case. That is ridiculous. A lawyer is going to argue "The student took illegal drugs and you caught him so now you owe him money"? LOL.. right. I can guess that someone with a positive test might file an injunction to try to stop the results and to get independent testing. You surely won't see an argument that catching my son doing dope ruined his potential career.

I voted for .270 just because I use that most of the time. It is a good thing that not many people post in this forum since that topic can sure open a can of worms. For whitetail within 150 yards, I think a .223 and larger is fine assuming that you have the right cartridge in it. Somewhere between 100 and 150 yards some rounds tend to start showing problems. Rounds such as the 30-30 are devastating on deer but after 100 yards their trajectory really starts showing problems. A 30-30 zeroed at 100 yards will drop about 3 feet at 300. Great gun at 100, lousy at 300. If you know that all of your shots will be inside of 100 yards, the old 30-30 will match the best of them. Light fast rounds like the .223 will do the job with trajectory and will shoot very fast but they lose a lot of energy downrange. If someone wants to shoot a light flat cartridge then something like an 80 grain .243 should do the trick. If zeroed at 150 it only drops 8 inches at 300. It still carries about 1,000 foot/lbs of energy at that range which should get the job done. The .223, while a flat shooter, only has about 400-700 ft/lbs at that range. Again, great gun at 100 yards and lousy at 300. As for the more popular larger calibers, in my opinion the ones like the 25-06, .260 and .270 are good rounds. They are not quite the energy at 300 yards as the 7MM Rem Mag but they are close, they shoot about the same trajectory and you don't have to pick your arm up off of the ground after every shot. If I was hunting elk at 500 yards in Montana, the 7MM Rem Mag would be the way to go. I suspect that about 98% of whitetail shots, at least in east Texas, come from 150 yards in. Even in south Texas I would bet that very few are taken at beyond 300 yards. So.... it all depends on where you hunt, how far your longest shot will be (either by terrain or skill) and how much you don't mind pain. For east Texas I don't think anyone can go wrong with almost any listed but I would recommend the .243, .270 or .308 most do to good performance and availability of ammo. Toss in the 30-30 and 30-06 just for good measure. I don't believe in overkill but I sure see a lot of 7MM Rem Mags for sale. I think a lot of people like the idea of having a rifle that will bring down a bull moose and then realize that the time at the range spent in pain is not worth the bragging point.

That is about like saying that the parents are going to sue the cops because their kid got busted for selling dope, ruining his chances for medical school. I think that is a losing cause and such a lawsuit will never be filed. There may be a lawsuit for privacy rights or something similar but not for a lost opportunity.

No kidding. A Speckle Bellied Teal, a Blue Wing Mallard and a Fulvous Whistling Widgeon. Great stuff.

So long ago but if I remember correctly, Lincoln won district either two or three years in a row. That was when Little Joe was playing and also his younger brother Kenny who was the quarterback. Lincoln did not have a lot of success after the Washingon brothers left.
