These two played each other in the Orangefield tourney. Vidor won pretty convincingly 72-46.

Give me Vidor by 10.

That LCM result last week really surprised me.  If BC channels some of that they can beat vidor, who hasn't been playing particularly well, losing their last four, including by 17 to LCM, who BC just beat.  Up until a week ago I thought Vidor had a clear shot at the #4 spot in the district, but there seems to be some competition now.

My belief that was more about LC-M than BC. But it was an impressive win none the less.

Don’t feel bad.  At least you didn’t have 3 million on the TCU money line.  Then again if we had Mattress Mack’s $ and system, we probably wouldn’t care either. 

I don't feel bad at all. Hey, upsets happen.

But I will put my success of picking local high school basketball games with anyone on this site. But Hoops, you already know this so I am preaching to the choir.

Yeahhhh I’d be willing to bet he actually didn’t lose any money lol

Here's the deal... Gallery runs promotions that say "If the Astros win the World Series, your furniture is free!"  They sell a bunch of furniture and since the odds of winning are such a long shot, Mac only needs to put up a portion of his actual sales.  If his bet wins, he uses the winnings to make up the funds lost by refunding people for their furniture.  If he loses, he's still up because so the promotion brought in so much in extra sales, and he's only putting a portion of those sales into his wagers... He's taking a small haircut on a loss, but it's not bad at all, apparently.  And he has national news giving him tons of free advertising.

Yeah he has a good system. I met him in 2017 at game one of the ALDS. Really nice guy.

    • naw, maaaaybe 7, definitely not 8 deep.  today im avoiding sitting by #10s parents, had to move away yesterday.   "put my son back in jub, put my son back in"  and then crying on every little touch of someone.    lets ball out today ktz!    
    • Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.
    • I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
