RETIREDFAN1 reacted to BMTSoulja1 in Central/Ozen UIL situation
Well, THAT was 7 minutes of my life that I'll NEVER get back.

RETIREDFAN1 reacted to 2wedge in Central/Ozen UIL situation
I am telling you, the TEA is not happy about the reelection of Bush and the son of Reece. They are going to do everything in their power to ensure the people of Beaumont do not get to reseat the very people that single handedly oversaw the destruction of BISD. I am not sure how accurate your source is, but I can assure you all that the TEA is considering all options at this point.

RETIREDFAN1 reacted to CardinalBacker in Central/Ozen UIL situation
All jokes aside, I never understood the crazy support that was poured out for the old South Park HS, or the gusto with which administration displayed when demolishing it. I’m sure there were dynamics at play that outsiders like myself could only wonder about.
I also fully expect that people who felt that they “lost” on South Park are poised to return the favor regarding whatever ends up happening to Central HS.
I fully expect that we’re all about to take another lap on the old BISD political roller coaster regarding the fate of the these two schools.
I’ve also read predictions that the TEA is displeased with the ongoing turmoil and steadily declining school rankings of some BISD campuses. That source believes that we’ll see a complete TEA takeover and a conservator appointed to replace the current Board of Managers within the next two months. I doubt it, but who knows what will happen if a conservator is appointed.

I'd probably drag my feet too since the citizens of District 2 reelected Zenobia Bush, and the citizens of District 4 elected the son of Woodrow Reece who wasn't even sharp enough to file to run for the district he lived in. Obviously the citizens of those two districts are fine with the corruption of the previous board and BISD's fragile condition cannot handle any of what they've had for the past several years. The TEA should ensure the current BOM holds on to their position until the people living in Beaumont can pull their heads out of their rear ends and ensure that their children's futures are taken care of.

RETIREDFAN1 reacted to Ryanp in All-District teams
all district teams have expanded because district coaches got tired of hearing from crybaby parents and people on public forums about why their little snowflake didn't get all-district. Which of course they blame the coaches for even though all the coaches can do is nominate people, they have no control over which of their players gets on the team, but anyway......in order to save themselves from annoying phone calls and public shaming....they just expand the teams to make everybody happy
my big brother was a coach in west tx and said they used to start the all district meeting by saying "who all has a kid that doesn't belong on the 1st team but it'll save you some headaches?" so everybody got to put their annoying parents kids on the 1st team, then they picked the real first team, and added it all up. Simple

This is nothing more than a participant team now. Has been for years. Folks are scared to name the best 11 on each side of the ball.

RETIREDFAN1 reacted to oldschool2 in All-District teams
People have somehow forgotten the original definition of first and second TEAM. In football...there are 11 people on the field. If the district were voting on a TEAM to represent the district should they play against other districts then there should be 11 kids on FIRST TEAM. And 11 on second team. 11 on 1st team offense, 11 on 1st team defense...same with 2nd team. Just like in Basketball there should be 5 on 1st team and 5 on 2nd team. Baseball should have 9... seems simple to me. My opinion is that anything more than that is watered down. Even superlatives should come off of the 1st TEAM.

That's the low number on my bp, not my age, thank you very much. Besides, I'm just a youngster up beside Grayghost at 72. But I'll admit he seems to function better. I still think I'm young, but my body and brain don't agree.

RETIREDFAN1 reacted to DesertStorm in Tenaha v Colmesneil
2014 Rice Consolidated finished 4th and won in the first round. 2015 they finished 3rd and made it to the regional semi's. Lots of other examples. I think we need to quit worrying about how many make it and just let the teams play. If you somebody gets whipped so what. Those whippings take place in district also.
