district games wont get cancelled.

UIL rules say every district game must be played to determine playoff spots

If this is the case, why wasn't "every district game" played after Rita?

I think it's going to depend on when a storm hits and how many weeks available to play before the playoffs start.

I could be wrong tho... my wife says I am all the time.

Hwy 96 N is hopping right now. Wife just left Pineland and drove to Brookeland and counted  over 300 cars in the 7 miles. It has been flowing like that since noon. Guess i may get in line in the morning but i am going to take the back roads to Center. Last time it took 3.5 hours for the 20 miles of 96 to San Augustine. Everyone take care.

After trying to run from Rita in 05, I've made up my mind.  I'll die in Liberty Co. before I get mugged or shot on a highway in central East Texas.  We left out very late in 05 and made it to about Corrigan before we hit traffic all the way to lufkin.  Then once we got there, the darn thing came right over us.  I had enough of that.  Good luck to all who stay, and good luck to those who go.  In the end, pray, atleast we all have something to lose.  We could have nothing to begin with. 

God Bless
