That was the question that I posed at the beginning of this thread. Is the basis of the most tradition determined by wins. Anyone that saw the state title game between PN-G and Stephenville saw Stephenville bring about 8,000 people to the game and saw PN-G bring about 24,000. I think fan support, winning tradition, school spirit by students, school traditions like Permian's MOJO or PN-G's totem pole make tradition.

I ran on 4 flats one time but I got home before the cops caught me.

I went on one of the cats (I think the Wharf Cat) out of Port Aransas back in the late 70's. It was a night trip of four hours. It was $10 back then. Once we cleared the jetties we got into some moderate seas, maybe 6-8 feet. That big cat was crashing into the waves and sending spray all the way back over the stern. We went up to the third deck in the wheelhouse and talked to the captain the entire trip out. Once he killed the engines, we went back down to start fishing. When we got to the main deck we found that almost every person (not the crew) was on the rail heaving. Talk about some chum. We made our way to the stern where almost no one was fishing and set up shop. I don't mind the waves but I hate to fish next to a half dozen puking people on both sides of me, shoulder to shoulder.

I have never gotten seasick offshore (and been in some fairly large seas) but the older I get, the less I tolerate bouncing around all day.

How are you going to cover 15 miles of shoreline in a day if you stop to work an area? :

I was talking to a guy that I work with just this week and I mentioned how we could correct the problem with fish and their osmoregulation. ;D I wouldn't mind any tips for keeping fish alive. If I am going to eat them however, they don't go in a live well, they go on ice. If I am not going to keep a fish, I rarely take one of of the water. I try to removed the hook while the fish is still at the side of the boat. Except on lures with treble hooks, I normally bend the barb flat and essentially fish with a barbless hook. I almost never lose fish and it makes the hook much easier to remove. For some tough mouth species, I think the barbless hooks actually increase your chances of actually setting the hook.

It is stupid not to have it printed on the license and too easy to do. You could even program it to print on every license. It could say "NOT REQUIRED" for us old codgers and say something like "HUNTER EDUCATION MET" for those born after the required date. That way all licenses would readily state if you are legal or not. It sure doesn't seem to be a problem putting that information on driver's licenses when a person is under 21.

Therein lies the point. No one has a clue what the UIL will do and they almost always leave people scratching their head trying to figure out how they came up with the alignments.

Every dog has his day. PN-G will have winning teams and be in the playoffs just as most other teams. In goes in cycles. Lumberton however......

Do titles equate to or have anything to do with tradition?

If #1 moves up a division and #3 moves down, that will be counterset by #4 and #5 staying in the same district unless they increase or decrease the size of the district. ;D To sum up the above post by bobcatfan4life, no one has a clue at this point and the UIL is always good for a surprise or two.

Central followed closely by Vidor.

Being recruited more highly by a college does not necessarily mean that you are the best at your position. Athletes are signed to scholarships on what the recruiters think their potential is, not how good of a high school athlete they are. You could be the best high school athlete at your position in the area and not be recruited above someone else to a major college. The same is true from college to the pros.

I don't think TJ and Lincoln played but a few times, like maybe 25 games.

Maybe they will accidently serve beer again this year. That may be something to look forward to. ;D

I am reporting wind, rain, frozen precipitation and no chance that you will catch me on the water for a few days.

I don't think so either simply because last year they could not stop anyone. I am not sure how much worse it can get.

Wow! Can you still buy film for those things? ;D

The wind bites right now. ;D

Some monster what?

Didn't PN-G try that a couple of years ago and had the wheels come off?

Hard to argue that point. I don't see schools of flounder on top water tearing it up and hitting almost any lure that I toss.

A turkey can be fairly big. At least he didn't look like a Texas quail.

I can't see that far either. That is why I need a scope. ;D
