  1. "I'm not ready to say Duke is first tier until I see someone other than K have some success." Your words, bro. For someone who purports to follow basketball, that sure seems like a strange comment.
  2. Oh, okay, thanks for clearing that up. Maybe attend a game there, visit their basketball museum, experience the tenting, see how their community revolves around the games, the atmosphere around a UNC game, etc, and then get back to us.
  3. Thnx. Admins have no control over what kids share on their phones, although they can certainly punish individuals if they can prove that the content was shared on school grounds. In another case, the school did give out punishment for some dumb kid's inappropriate costume at a Halloween party at a private home on a weekend. In my mind, this is overstepping a school's authority. The kid that did that had his acceptance letter to a major university withdrawn. I do hope those rotten young men suffered actual legal punishment in some way. That girl played sports w one of my daughters and she was a nice person.
  4. I don't know why anyone associated w the school should have been fired. That took place off-campus on a weekend in a private home.
  5. Well, that makes sense, and I am glad for you. It seems like people who are high-achievers, like Beard, often have messy personal lives. Perhaps the price of being completely devoted to his success was to not have time for a personal life. Still, damn, seems like he could have found someone more compatible and presentable than Trew. A great partner can help you go farther.
  6. When I watch the exhausting gyrations our divorced friends have to go through to keep up with the children they share joint custody of, it makes me wonder. If they knew then what they know now about how hopelessly complicated their lives have become, would they still want to go ahead and get divorced? I wonder if Coach Beard was thinking, "what has become of me," while he was being booked into the the Travis County Jail. He could have been spending this holiday season with his (former) wife and children, instead of being involved in this ugly legal mess. Life is complex and I certainly don't know why his marriage didn't work out, but surely their marriage had to be preferable to being assaulted and then retaliating to a woman that, IMHO, doesn't seem like such a great catch. And to be completely shallow, I think his (former) wife is way better looking.
  7. Yes, I'm sure both communities suffer from the same insanity. Everyone's son is going to be an NFL QB, especially if the dads can coach them in Pop Warner. Fortunately, after "Daddyball," the system weeds out the inferior players.
  8. That is true. Our school district ditched an abusive coach and it never made the news. He was also not a great coach.* Trew had just taken her HS volleyball team to their deepest round of the playoffs, which is usually considered a good thing, and then she resigned, which is odd. Of course, she may have resigned to follow Beard to Texas, but who truly knows? I am no way claiming she is or is not abusive, and she certainly didn't "deserve" to be assaulted. Just wanted to learn more. *In our district, it's the parents who are the most crazy. My wife is an admin. The stuff they have pulled over the years is truly mind-bending.
  9. People here are stating that she may have a history of violence. I've looked for an article that states that the assaulted her HS volleyball players, but all I can find are internet posts about why she was dismissed from her job. Can anyone share anything that states this? I would like to read it. Thnx.
  10. I agree here. I feel like he was being set up to fail when he was given the starting job.
  11. Take a trip with me back to that beautiful day in September when Aggy played Appalachian State. There are so many glorious moments to relive: Aggy seeing the best recruiting class ever in action Hanes King - the human turnover machine Jumbo waddling onto the field to scream at his player Numbed expressions in the stands Announcers talking at the end about how Appalachian State dominated the game, lol
  12. Comes to a discussion board to tell people not to discuss things.
  13. The coach's strategy of not giving Bijan and Roshon the ball in the 2nd half vs Oklahoma State and saving him for the pros is looking smarter and smarter.
  14. ARLINGTON UPDATE: Hi everyone. I'm doing much better and everything is good and we got everything worked out. I'm in Arlington at an undisclosed location and I have to keep this brief so the police, the hospital or my family can't trace my IP address. I am getting ready for the Westlake/Duncanville game and waiting for the Westlake fans to start getting to town to attend the victory parties. I do feel bad about my unfortunate incident last Saturday following our victory over North Shore, and I hope the First Responders are recovering nicely. That should have been handled differently and the restraints have left some nasty bruising on my arms and legs. Duncanville is a great team, so Westlake needs to get up on them early, but I think we can do it. Go Chaps, go! Go Chaps, go! Go Chaps go! Touchdown! Touchdown!!! Go Chaps go! Go Chaps, go! Go Chaps, go! Go Chaps go! Touchdown! Touchdown!!! Go Chaps go!
  15. TreatyOak here. Sorry about my little breakdown/misunderstanding on Saturday. I'm doing much better now and everything is really positive. I'm very sorry about my very minor dustup w the First Responders, and I hope they are feeling better cause I really support them 100%. I can't disclose my current location and I have to keep this short so my IP address can't be traced. I am heading to AT&T Stadium to cheer for the Chaps in the State Championship this weekend. We're going for 4 in a row, baby! Feeling much better and everything is good.
  16. I hear you and this is a good post. But Robinson trashing the man who brought more attention to the league in two years than there had been in the last twenty looks really petty and is fairly insulting to Deion. And yes, these are complex issues of underfunding, state systems hogging all the money (I'm looking at you, Texas and Texas A&M) and systemic racism.
  17. I agree with this. By all indications, Deion heavily invested his own money into the JSU program. and now he claims monies were withheld from him and the players by the administration. Yet, as @Pancho informed us, people in the Black community are disappointed in him for leaving the school and turning away from the conference. Mind you, players from other teams and their coaches disrespected him, claiming that he wasn't authentically a member of the conference (in press conferences!) which is fairly unbelievable. Additionally, his office was robbed and several items precious to him were stolen. He even helped pay for lodging and food when the water shortage forced the team to leave the school. Compare how Deion contributed to his program to say, how Jimbo is robbing A&M, or Mack actively trying to destroy the program during his last few days. I once worked at a small company where the owner provided jobs, promotions, parties, food, entertainment and gosh, paychecks to all our staff. Yet everyone was always angry at her, complained endlessly, blamed and even hated her. As the old saying goes, "No good deed ever goes unpunished."
