  1. I’ve been to plenty of track meets. At that stadium. They set up the tents around the field, often at the open area under the large scoreboard or on the opposite side. That’s where kids place their bags, kids change their shoes, put on spikes, etc. It’s also where the coaches have kids meet prior to events to walk through the races. During events most kids are on the field cheering each other on so their stuff isn’t being watched. Some kids stay around the tents to rest, others mingle, others follow friends in each event. Before each event kids are lined up by lane, etc and yes, it’s pretty damn organized considering there are hundreds of kids and often dozens of schools. Especially the hurdle events as they have to get them placed and st the right height depending on the race. Then you have the race Marshalls around the track all coordinated between each event. Again, unless you know the kid and are friends, you NEVER have other schools kids in your tent. It’s their turf. Their school. Where coaches talk strategy and plan the events. Where the kids talk about how they are going to approach each event.
  2. There are by all accounts 30+ eyewitnesses that are being vetted by the police and a half dozen coaches. Most are aligning with what I posted above.
  3. Here's what we know, according to reports and all the Frisco chat groups talking about this endlessly. * taken from their chat, which by all accounts seems up to date. - A witness says Metcalf was sitting under his school's tent when Anthony approached - Metcalf told Anthony to leave - Anthony grabbed his bag and warned, "Touch me and see what happens," according to police - No one knew Anthony had a weapon - One witness says Metcalf touched Anthony, another says he grabbed him - Anthony immediately pulled a knife from his backpack and stabbed Metcalf in the chest - He then fled the scene - Metcalf clutched his chest, told teammates to get help, and died in his brother's arms - When police caught Anthony, he said, "I'm not alleged, I did it" - In the cruiser, Anthony asked if Metcalf was okay and whether what he did counted as self-defense
  4. We have friends of my child in Frisco HS that knew the deceased. This is patently false. further, if you are being bullied to the point that you feel the need to bring a weapon to defend yourself, why are you stationed under the very tent of those you are so fearful of you feel that your life is being threatened by? This idea of rain? They are in the football field. Every team brings tents. Every one. This is how the coaches coordinate their runners. 4x100 runners….meet at the tent at xyz time, etc. This is also where their packs are. Packs with cell phones, headphones, etc. It’s not done. Ever. I’ve been to dozens of meets between both kids. You never. Ever. See another schools kid under someone else’s tent unless they are friends and talking between events.
  5. I'd geta list of the Reacher books in order that they were written and start with the early ones and work forward. They obviously follow a similar trajectory, but the early ones were pretty good. Kind of like with Baldacci or Connelly.
  6. Fucking hell, I've been to dozens of meets all across Frisco for track & XC meets. Both went to HS in Frisco.....one is still just a junior. Phone has been lit up from friends and family across the country. We JUST had a playoff soccer match at that very stadium. Impossible for security to cover everything as they set up tents for dozens of school on the field to rest and change between events. Two families destroyed over, what? A place to sit, a phone? This 17yr old asshole will be facing 1st degree murder charges, his family has to be devastated and the family of the victim? The twin brother held his drying brother in his arms as he passed. You don't just come back from that....especially after your father survived cancer years prior.
  7. Tripwire is pretty good
  8. Mine are old, but they are a higher arch I picked up the store. Nothing too fancy. These are for square-toe Ariat work boots. My new Frye ropers are so damn comfortable I can't imagine having to do anything to them for years to come.
  9. I think it's the surging popularity and efficacy of the 9mm. Modern rounds check all the boxes that the larger .45 acp used to fill. Penetration/expansion/kinetic energy similarities, with twice the capacity and half the recoil?
  10. Some people need to be in a little physical proximity to other people that don't have their best interests at heart to learn what confrontation really is.
  11. If you want to get talked down to by someone that doesn't know what they are talking about for an already overpriced item, McBrides is your jam.....
  12. My guess is LoanDepot is next. Their stock dropped from $30+ to a little over a buck. UWM or even PNMAC could be circling
  13. Rocket and Cooper....and we're off......my guess is LoanDepot is in the crosshairs of either UWM or Penny.
  14. Same. 90% reciprocity and the Walton biz school. I do know aggy is trying to emulate the exclusivity of the Texas biz school and making it extremely hard to get into. He didn't apply, as the campus and town left a lot to be desired when we toured
  15. No clue, but like all schools it's the individual schools within the school. Like Music at UNT. It's a top program even through the overall school rankings are lower than most.
  16. Updating my list of people to avoid hiking with now
  17. Service dog Karen's is never the wrong choice
  18. My personal favorite are the fatties in grocery scooters with little dogs in purses. Dogs like can I get some walk time here?
  19. I thought fry's electronics went out of business...
  20. What happened to the good old days of just burning leaf piles. Maybe you set the house on fire? Maybe you don't? Live a little.....
  21. .44? Meh....
