[quote name="WOSgrad" post="997090" timestamp="1302743531"] In fact, after spending a few minutes on the phone with Mr. Guillory of the committee, I am even less assured that at any point during this process and I am even more convinced now that ever that Cornel Thompson is destined to screwed in this process. Shortly after griff posted the texting number for Mr. Guillory.  I sent a text saying that Cornel Thompson is the only man the committee should consider for the job. I should have gotten the first clue when the response texted back to was "Y?" and that he wanted me to call him.  In a call which ended with me hanging up on Mr. Guillory made it obvious to me that Coach Thompson is not only not the committee's top choice, but he is quickly being shuffled to the back of the pack by this committee.  First, he denied that other coaches who he had contacted had told him that Cornel Thompson was the guy for the job.  He then said that other coaches whose applications were more qualified than Coach Thompson for the position and then in the same breath told me that Mr. Colbert has ordered that the names of the applicants (We'll see about that as a FOI request has been made with the school district and we are awaiting their reply).  Finally, contrary to what Colbert told the Orange Leader, Coach Thompson is not even guaranteed a spot as finalist for the position.  He claims that Colbert was "misquoted" by Van Wade and that the Leader is to print a retraction on that (as one of the admins here is the editor of the Leader, I'll leave that for him to respond to, if he wishes).  He claims that he has canvassed the community for choices and none of the names that he mentioned was Cornel Thomspson.  As I told him, if he can't make a case for Cornel Thompson as head coach/athletic director, he isn't trying.  And in reality, I don't believe they are. So, those that are hoping that the district do the right thing and promote Coach Thompson and that this process is just a way of complying with state law, you may want to rethink. [/quote] If I'm not mistaken I'm pretty sure I heard Colbert state during his interview on KOGT that the two in-house applicants were assured to be finalist in the final four finalist list.

Finally getting to see my first Astros game this year. They're up 5-0 in the 2nd. I don't know what all the complaining is about; they look great. ;D ::)

There's always talk about Houston fans but Houston sports has the higher end of event attendance in the leagues. Pretty good for less than successful programs.

That's what Bret thought  :D

You could take your show on the road. :D

I’ve heard there is a reimbursement out there for the cost of current fishing licenses. It’s related to the BP oil spill. Has anyone hear of this?

Your next topic title should read WINNING!!!

[quote name="Yearof thePat!" post="991529" timestamp="1301686585"] Astros win, Astros win. Astros win again. 4-2 [/quote] Counted your chickens to soon didn't ya

I hope so

I disagree. I think (hope) the two have enough respect for each other to be able to continue to work together once the choice is made. I also think (hope) they would both be satisfied that the position was filled from within. And if there is any resentment it would not be towards each, maybe towards the decision makers but not each other.

A person's only worth (salary wise) what someone is willing to pay them.

Silva and Jones would be great fight but Silva said would not move up anymore. If they want him they'll have to move down. You can't under estimate GSPs speed. I would just question if he would lose any speed by putting on extra weight.

John Jones dominated Shogun. He is the future of MMA and could own the devision title for a very long time. There's already PFP talk. He is amazing.

Karma for a good job posting

Recent news reports has the district saying enrollment numders are down.

[quote name="smitty" post="984134" timestamp="1300357714"] Again -- if it wasn't true about the football stadium, then why did they pull the bond issue?? [quote author=Brubaker link=topic=81687.msg984072#msg984072 date=1300329142] Why are they looking at spending money to install energy efficient savings gadgets in facilities that are approaching the end of their useful life from a cost perspective?  If the district wants to look at a real long range plan, look beyond 5 years and stop nickel and diming this problem.  Put a plan in place that has a better long range payout and provides for an overall improvement to the community.  We need new schools and bad.  Drop the football stadium scare tactics, nobody wants to sacrifice our new schools over a football stadium.  Sounds like more scare tactics and propaganda to keep our community down.

WOW  :o

[quote name="KFDM KERRY COOPER" post="978754" timestamp="1299450563"] I just called him. WO-S will scrimmage LC-M  (Rivalry) instead of Dayton. Coaches wanted these teams to play again even if it was just a scrimmage. Dayton coach didn't mind at all since it was their turn to drive to Orange. [/quote] Good work coop

[quote name="WOSgrad" post="978173" timestamp="1299338137"] It looks like Nederland and WO-S will be attempting bond issue elections again sometime this year to go in that direction. [/quote] I don't think either will pursue turf in their upcoming bonds

I didn't get to see the fight. I'm going to try to find it and watch it this weekend

Dana is a big promoter with a big ego. He'll try to top the 55,000 sell out

I always figured some of those front row celebs at UFC events were there for free or even paid for UFC promotion.

UFC will be looking for a venue with over 50,000 capacity. I don't know if Vegas has that

True but Dana will probably end up back in Canada because thats where the biggest GSP payday is

I agree with you on the status of the UFC but that card could not have pulled those numbers in USA.
