But then it becomes a bootleg item and the penalties for bootlegging/not paying taxes are MUCH higher than any penalties for marijuana. You would have the IRS down on you instead of the local PoPo.

It is your choice so you can post what you want but the OP said retired coach. The last I checked, Barbay has not retired.

Yeah. I was trying to find his record to back up my nomination and couldn't find it.

Pretty much. In the days when you had to win the district championship to go to the playoffs, Nederland went 16 times in 29 years. From 1937 to 1965 Nederland was the representative more times than all of the other district foes combined, 16-13. In that time frame Nederland went to the final game three times, winning one state championship. From 1953 to 1965, Nederland was the district champion 11 times in 13 years.

I don't know about their football but they have some great fishing.

Durley had many successful teams and took West Brook to the state championship their first year in existence. In his first year at West Brook, Durley was as many state championships as Etheridge did in his years at PN-G.

Alex Durley.

Ahhh yes, the evil money argument. Why won't the government be able to regulate and tax marijuana if they allow it to become legal?

If that was the game at their stadium, those were some big hits.

I agree... that it would be a shocker, not that they will win.

But with a first year coach, LC-M literally came one play from the playoffs last year. One play better this year would hardly be a stretch.

You just never know. If those kids get off to a good start and win a few games, they might start believing that they are supposed to win. From there it could be the year of the Lions.

I thought this was an advertisement to become a cop with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, also known as TABC.

I read the final version of the bill (SB-8) and the cost impact. From what was sent to the governor, it looks like the bill requires 30% of high schools to have testing for steroids, not every school. The cost impact reiterates this by again saying that the bill will require testing at 30% of high schools that sponsor UIL sanctioned events. The estimated cost to the state would be $4 million each year. FROM THE BILL: EDUCATION CODE Sec. 33.091 (d) The league shall adopt rules .......The testing program must: _____(3) be administered at approximately 30 percent of the high schools in this state that participate in athletic competitions sponsored or sanctioned by the league; FROM THE COST ESTIMATE/FISCAL NOTE, 80TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION: Fiscal Analysis The bill would require the University Interscholastic League (UIL) to establish and administer a steroid testing program at approximately 30% of high schools in the state involving random testing of a statistically significant number of high school student athletes at each selected school. The above text was taken straight from the Texas Legislature website from the passed bill and from the Legislative Budget Board cost impact.

Vidor has never been to the final game. One year in the early 60's they went to the quarterfinals or the semifinals. They might have tied that game but lost on penetrations. The UIL does not award title games by penetrations. Before the recent tiebreakers went into effect, co-state championships were awarded. I think the most recent around her was Beaumont French High School in 1984 when they tied Odessa Permian.

Yeah, I have the same problem.

I guess that I had better get rid of my collection of Chihuahuan Spotted Whiptail lizards. ;D

Big deal, so he killed it with a pistol.. he should have taken it with a knife!! ;D

I wanted to but couldn't find an offer for a boat. I then signed up to work and two days ago got an offer. Go figure.

You've got to feel for the father that lost his son but talk about not taking responsibility! Let's see, the guy goes out and gets drunk. He probably also had some marijuana that was found in the car. He also didn't wear his seatbelt. Yep, I see no responsibility there. Then, they sue the poor guy that had his car stall in the roadway. I guess he was negligent for letting his car be so outrageous as to stall at that exact location. But wait, there's more! A tow truck is called the clear the road and the tow truck is also struck by the drunk. So it is his fault also. After all, his company could have just not answered the phone and that way it would have been another wrecker driver's fault. There is one person that is at fault for the death of Josh Hancock and that is Josh Hancock. A death sentence is a terrible price for him and his family to pay but it is still just his fault. It is ashame that this case could not be tossed out by the judge the day after it was filed.

Forcing a religious school into a public school system has a good chance? Hmmm........ what Supreme Court decisions have you been looking at to make you think that religion in any form will be forced into a public school setting? I wonder what they would do with prayer before a game since it has been banned for public schools but not for private schools. I guess the fans on the public school half of the stadium will be forced to put their fingers in their ears when they are at the private school's stadium. ;D I try to stay up on SCOTUS decisions and haven't seen anything that makes me think that they would force a private school that is not funded by public money to be involved in a public school system.

I guess that I was reading it correctly then. ;D

According to today's article from the National Rifle Association, yesterday was the last day for the House to take up any Senate bill. The NRA was trying to get a pro-gun law passed and it died in calenders. Over 70 bills basically died because they ran out of time at the end of the session. I just read the last calender scheduled and it is just the congratulatory and memorial calender. That is where the Texas legislature can send out congratulations for a state championship, a kid making Eagle Scout, city anniversaries, etc. I am pretty sure that the legislative session is over as far as passing any more bills. I have yet to confirm that but it looks to be over and SB1943 died on the vine.
