Anyone up for a state championship double header road trip?


Recommended Posts

Next Saturday at Reliant Stadium in Houston there will be the class 5A state championship double header. The Div. II game will be at 2pm, the Division I game at 7pm. I think we should get a group up and go over to take in the last football games of the season.

If anyone is interested, please post here.

You can buy tickets in advance at Ticketmaster locations. Tickets are $16-$18 and cover both games. I'm in Houston and shall be there.

2:00 Div II Wylie  vs. Katy

7:00 Div I  Allen vs. Hightower ( Hightower QB is the son of former Oiler Alonzo Highsmith and has signed with Miami ). 

P.S. Pray for nice weather. Reliant roof is still under repair from Hurricane Ike and will be open.

Has anyone heard if Fox is to broadcast the 5A games?  I know the last few seasons they were carried live and repeated several times over the holidays.   

Haven't seen anything on these or the 4A championships being broadcast this year.

They are doing the 5A games from Reliant on Saturday.

    • 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 McnNeese 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 easy and obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
    • 1 thing for certain. Coach Earned 3 more years to figure it out lol
    • @CIS_org National Security Senior Fellow @BensmanTodd tells Steve Bannon how the U.S. State Department and USAID have been sending American taxpayer funds to religious nonprofits to facilitate mass immigration to our southern border. Bensman says 248 nonprofits are participating in the United Nations’ 2024 agenda to distribute $1.6 billion in cash, transportation, food, and shelter to U.S.-bound immigrants across Mexico and Latin America.
