  1. WOS has had some great coaches and athletes but it's more than that. It's the program. The community pride of Mustang football starts at Pop Warner and is taught all the way up. Many of each senior class have been playing together for 10+ years. Another common factor since 1977? Thompson has been there. No disrespect to Dan Hooks.
  2. That's a story I'm sure will never make the national news.
  3. Furthermore, we have laws and consequences in place for a reason. We're living in a world where the consequences put in place by our elected officials are being called inhumane by the same elected officials that put them in place. SMH
  4. If I recall (I'm not going to research to confirm) the last two or three bond issues did address academics/buildings with little to no athletic improvements, even voting down turf one time. The fact that they addressed athletics in the last bond and the voters approved does not mean they have neglected academic facilities. By the same token, bond passing doesn't factor much in their academic fails. They have struggled for some time but I would say this is probably the first time for most to see their rating in black and white. They better wake up and focus strongly before things get worse.
  5. It was Iran or someone who wants it to look like Iran.
  6. The programs deserves it and on Friday night the citizens and fans can be proud because they chose/voted to pay for it.
  7. It's an available program for kids in a district that the majority are eligible for free or reduced lunch. I think it is a good think as long the students take advantage of it.
  8. It has been a battle in Houston and really need that third win. They'll have to dig deep on the road.
  9. It was good but too dark to follow well.
  10. I could handle listening to Hillary read the report if she was gargling the Ebola virus while reading.
  11. I'm rooting for the Nederland bond to pass. The recent appraisal values could be a killer.
  12. Providing humanitarian support is the Christian thing to do.
  13. Once programs like education and energy are established it is very hard to revert back. The same is even so for social security. It was never intended to be mandatory or a primary retirement income but that's where it is.
  14. Man is trying to understand the universe. If they only knew as much as they think they do. [Hidden Content]
  15. Cowboys use their top pick on a risky player. We'll see if the gamble pays off.
  16. I would have no problem eliminating either of these. However, would you also propose eliminating the funding of each that goes to each state? If so, how would that affect each state? If not, how would we managed the allocations?
  17. I agree. Twenty years is not fair to the family.
  18. Speaking of schools and parents. [Hidden Content]
  19. The state regularly changes education requirements which affects facility needs. The teacher to student ration requirements have changed over the year resulting in more space needed. Additional required special needs or programs also contribute to the need for more space. It's not always about population growth.
