Fuck bye weeks, but honestly, a lot of these 1seed vs 4 seed matchups will have starting players less than 24 minutes. They'll play through midway 2nd Q and POSSIBLY the first possession of the 3rd Q. A quality team will face tougher situations in practice than those bi-district games. Brownfield is also an 0-10 team in the POs, and 8-2 Shallowater is gonna boatrace their ass. From that same group of teams, Lamesa, 4-6, is the 1 seed taking on Amarillo River Road, 4-6, the 4 seed. That's actually a very peculiar matchup in that it is very even. We'll see how it turns out. Back in 98, Wichita Falls Rider made the POs at 2-8, won 2 rounds and then bowed out to Plainview in Regional, posting a 4-9 tally for the season, That's always been one of the weirdest season records to me. I'm cool with the current set-up. I like the 4 qualifiers from each district, but because of the creation of divisions within each class at 5A and below, there are some serious geography challenges that actually make the 4 team districts a necessity, or at least the 'best fit.' In those 4 team Districts, do they go double round-robin, for 6 District games? Not sure that prevents the weaker teams from going winless or 1-9 on the season.

For some folks, once they get to security, it's like they threw their brains in the trash with that open pepsi.

Depends upon the grip...

Breath of life in the Steeler offense. Great play.

Or maybe the deaths of Joe Delaney and Derrick Thomas play into the current swing. Of course, if you're into that kind of thing.

Wow. What an ugly win in KC. But it counts.

This was my answer, except it was at my Grandparents' house. I was about 11, and it was a little bit scary, but more, "WTF?"

^^^^^^^^ if I’m doing the work, they’re going up in pretty weather. You can wait to light em up in December if you want…

so 6A and 5A get the home field in most cases for Bi-District, but in 4A and below, they follow the old-school model of neutral site in most games. One typo I found was in 2AD2, Bovina vs Hale Center listed as playing at Copperas Cove. Yeah...no dawg. That game is gonna be at Plainview or Canyon, most likely.

Mart hasn't lost a regular season game to a 2AD2 opponent in...welp...ever. Goldthwaite put the worst loss on Mart in over 40 years. For you big school folks, this is like Westlake losing to Austin High by that margin or Desoto losing to Sunset.. Some are saying Mart played zero starters since they had already sealed the District Championship. Others are saying Coach Hoffman is on the outs with the school board. Drama!Drama!Drama!!!

Now do the same for Dems and tell us what's off...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Holy shit! how do you do that? LOL. I am pro-legalization. Have seen too many people that benignly enjoy pot and even more-so, those who can use it for pain management/ medical purposes. I served on a grandjury years ago, and probably 80% at a minimum of the cases involved possession of marijuana or some variant. Might as well make breathing a criminal act. Marijuana is just a device for LE to leverage when they don't have anything else. I'm one of the last folks on here who is anti LE, but I've come around in many ways. I kept hearing these cases and I'm like, OK a handful for these guys are bad dudes, dealing and also possessing weapons. Got it; but treating this dude who was vaping CBD oil or whatever or had a bag of gummies on them in the same manner is bullshit in my book. These folks are not threatening society- they just want their bag of Doritos and to be left the fuck alone. As a society, we are chasing mice while getting curbstomped by elephants. Even if it is legal, I will likely never use it; but I do feel it should just be openly available.

On election day, I avoided all news coverage and commentary. All I did was do the national map and the counties as they updated. Didn't give a fuck about hearing anything else related to the election day. Just wanted results.

If they ain't in by 7PM on Wednesday, then your state's electoral votes are split 50/50. and no deliberate shenanigans to get that split either. Get with the fucking progrum.

The agreeable stance is to turn off all news within 90 days of the election. The misinformation and selective reporting is comical if it was not so deliberate. Turn off the russian bots. Turn off all of it. Turn of Cris Collinsworth too.

Wife just got home from work, "Hey, I didn't know Lufkin was playing Thursday night..." Raven's unis look like shit.

If you don't have an active I-9 and documentation of citizenship/ Visa, you aren't working where I do. Period.

Pretty much every other year in the past 8-10 or so. Like the example up thread though, net, net, we have added a ton of jobs through the years. Our layoffs also tend not to touch frontline employees unless the actual facility is being closed. Our layoffs tend to be upstream and cutting the fat, in all honesty. We are extremely growth driven and productivity is part of that. My deal as an employee is that we've known the landscape this long, so if it gets scary, then jump and people do. I don't expect loyalty either way. I do the work. Keep sending the checks.

Not Tech. Publicly traded for 59 years. Started by two separate entrepreneurs in the 30's. The other significant portion was started 125 years ago or so.

My employer has basically had 4 CEOs in my 30 years. We don't do a lot of "touch and goes." I don't necessarily disagree with you or where Imma is coming from, except that, as an employee, you have a choice of where to work... at least in Texas you do.

Do you own a 401K? Do you have a job that required capital investment by someone else in the entity for that to be available to you? Do you own your own small business? You're still an investor.

so end the companies and we can eat sawdust.

Oh but when jobs are cut to make the company more productive... ohhh the humanity. LOL. How daree a team cut a shitty player. they should all be Jerry Jones just hiring worthless shitbags and overpaying them. A bunch of folks on here like to rail against corporate America, but they still have their 401k or other investments, as if that has ZERO influence on corporations. You're driving the result.

Jobs don't just come from thin air, neither do capital investments. You and I are diametrically opposed on this topic. I'm never going to change because my beliefs/ values are what I've experienced. Sorry, not sorry. Agree to truce.
