Thanks Golden Triangle!


Recommended Posts

I had more problems driving through Beaumont than evacuating from New Orleans...thanks for tacking an hour extra on my evacuation today!

So...why all the traffic in Beaumont? Construction still, eh?

UNLV -- if you want to be FBS and have a big stadium, you got to get those issues fixed.

Thats because we knew it was you...

Why is New Orleans people coming this way, I would go towards Jackson, Birmingham, or Atlanta...

Beaumont and Houston is still in the cone. SHSU sigh!!!!

Alot of people coming from Louisiana evcuating.

Those were not Louisiana people -- because I had no problems once I got 10 miles of New Orleans. No problems in Baton Rouge, none in Lake Charles, Lafayette, etc. Beaumont is where we got it bad...I'd say 85% of the plates in that area were Texans. Not many Louisiana residents at that point...

From the Beaumont Enterprise today:

Interstate 10 west bound in Orange County has been shut down because of four wrecks at three different intersections, a Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman said.

The wrecks are at FM 1132, Texas 62 and FM 1442.

Trooper Stephanie Davis said all troopers were out working the wrecks and didn't have a timeframe for when the interstate would reopen.

Alternate routes for motorists immediately coming into Texas would be to use the 16th Street exit in Orange.

Motorists would need to go south on 16th Street to Texas 87. They would need to take Texas 87 to Port Arthur. From Port Arhtur motorists can take Texas 73 to Winnie, which will take them back to Interstate 10; or drivers can take U.S. 69 north to Beaumont.

Earlier in the day, law enforcement officials in Orange could be heard over the radio talking about how much the traffic from Louisiana had picked up over night.

Parishes in Louisiana had issued voluntary evacuations for today.

Well some Texans are evacuating too... duhh!!!

Couldn't tell -- didn't have trunks loaded and things loaded on top of the car. Doubt they were evacuating at this point.

Saw the buses at Ford Arena. No one was moving just yet.

Maybe it's our growing population, who will be in the stands in 2010.

    • He made the comment as a business man he hated overtime. He never said or implied he wanted to do away with it. He has said overtime should not be taxed. That will benefit the refinery workers in our area big time…..as well as nurses. Not only would you not pay taxes and see the benefit immediately on your paycheck, my guess that at the end of the year, you would subtract all the overtime from your total wages, thus lowering your taxable imcome.
    • Well I thought it would be a better matchup for us more so than us versus yall and we got whooped 🤷🏾‍♂️ we'll see, long time before Ball High meets Lufkin though. 
    • Very critical win for Crosby last night. At no point has the current regime given me any reason to think Crosby should be able to pencil in wins but for the sake of discussion I will for FB Kempner who we play two weeks from now and also Porter who we play a couple of weeks after that. That means if Crosby can beat Kingwood Park next week we’ll most likely finish district play 5-2 and in at least 3rd place.    That being, the team could be a lot better if we had a competent offensive coach. Crosby’s offensive philosophy is to give it to Yarbrough and hope he breaks it which is why we lose to team with above average defensive talent. Crosby’s TE Landen Hammer is 6’2” and about 210lbs with crazy ball skills, an absolute mismatch problem and got one target last night. Friendswood realized Crosby had some playmakers on the edges and lots of times gave the receivers a 10 yard cushion. The problem is that Willis doesn’t know that so not once did we just raise up, throw it out to the receiver and give them an opportunity to be an athlete and make a play. So now that we’ve averaged 8 completions per game through our first four contest because 50% of the time Willis chooses to swap out 50% of the offense we look like we “don’t have the receiving talent that we used to.” Yarbrough probably had close to 300 rushing yards last night but I wouldn’t be surprised if he had 35 carries. I like our backup RB but there are several kids who could help Crosby more at that position and Willis chooses not to play them there and feed Yarbrough to the point he couldn’t even finish the game last night. He continues to display an inability to efficiently use his personnel which is why we get blow out by any team with at least equal talent. Maybe something changes but Willis being 6-19 his last two and a half years on the sideline and his inability to shake the Cedar Park model don’t give much hope, which is unfortunate for the kids. 
    • Big girl is trying to make Oprah sound like Bam Morris, who was busted with 220# of weed in the trunk of his car. When the cops opened the truck and found the weed, Bam said,”That’s not mine”. Give me a break.
    • Aggies with the “brunch” game today. I think Missouri will be a tough matchup. Playing at Kyle may have an effect.
