And Souf Dallas DISD schools get the shittier end of the monetary stick than the Nawf Dallas schools.
And the Nawf Dallas schools are even less competitive at everything, except maybe baseball, than Souf. Partly because they're decimated by private schools.
Lincoln, I think, was the most competitive DISD football school in the last couple of decades. It's over by Fair Park and pretty desperate, economically.
Madison was competitive in 3A for seven year stretch before the talent ran dry. Lincoln football is DOA now.
I also keep seeing South Dallas applied to a lot of schools. There are only two high schools in what anyone who lives there would call South Dallas. That is Madison and Lincoln. The easiest way to get looked at sideways in Oak Cliff is to tell someone who went to SOC, Kimball or Carter that they are a South Dallas school. I could apply that to Velt and Pinkston as well, but Pinkston’s neighborhood has generally been referred to as the West Dallas projects even though that is changing.

This thread never gets old. It does not matter what kind of day you’re having because this thread will make the day enjoyable. So many cute pups that y’all are blessed to have as companions!

I smell defeat brought by one of your own. Just like y’all had fun when McCain derailed plans to rollback Obamacare, we on the right are enjoying the same happening to y’all.
2022 & 2024 are going to be a cakewalk for the GOP. What is going to be funny is the walking back of the “this might be the last midterm/Presidential election of our lifetime” lunacy that will get dropped to gin up support after the losses occur.
You are not on the right. There is no right anymore. There is the GQP and then everyone who isn’t GQP which, to make it simple for you, is everyone trying to head this monstrosity off because it is in the best interests of this country to do so.
Please get your life in order and do something to help others instead of what you currently put out into the world. The negativity just radiates in your posts.

AD out at least 4 weeks
Had the second worst 3 point % of all time in a season pre-injury.
He can feel free to just take the rest of the year off. His inability to stay healthy is nuts.

I've seen 1958 a couple times, but can't find the team.
1958 is Booker T who competed in the Prairie View Interscholastic League (PVIL).

I know a guy who was at the 2004 Lincoln-Kilgore title game when Lincoln lost on the blocked FG TD return in OT. He went to Madison so he said to me “On the outside I looked disappointed at Lincoln losing, but on the inside I was cheering for Kilgore to win the entire game!”

I’ve read a few “good for DISD” comments. Can someone give me a little context? How long has it been since a true Dallas school has won a state championship? Thanks in advance.
1958 Booker T. PVIL
1950 Sunset
1988 Carter forfeited their title.

Helobious Iron 13-0 strikes again!
DISD finally got one!
I’m so happy for Oak Cliff as a whole. My friend who is a SOC grad called me and he has had a rough last few months with his mother having passed away. First thing he said is he wished she had been here to see this. She never left the neighborhood and would’ve loved to have seen the Golden Bears win a title.

What the fuck was that LH. 4th and forever and SOC knew a fake was coming.
Something, something SOC gets rolled by four or five touchdowns.

Man, I can't wait to hear the daily updates on what counties he can and can't play in from ESPN!
- Nobody
A part-time player who has issues alienating teammates in his past and is also not the sharpest tool in the shed. What could possibly go wrong?
You got Durant out there being a real leader and now they have to have this guy come in and mess with their chemistry when he is one of the reasons they are short-handed in the first place.

I remember Jr’s first visit with us in Upstate, we went down to the city and were going to catch a Knicks game, wait in line and when I finally get to the front ask if there’s 2 available. Dude tells it’d be $500+ bucks… I’m like, whoa, just want to watch the game not sit on the bench. We ended up getting a pair from SeatGeek, much cheaper.
That whole deal with companies entertaining clients by pay through the nose to see a Knicks game makes it hard to want to go to MSG. My last trip there was for the Big East tourney a couple of years back when Ewing was coaching against Mullin.

I thought about taking my mom to the Nets game last night because it costs roughly 15 percent of what it costs to go to a Knicks game (Seriously it’s harder getting tickets to see the Islanders than the Nets), but my mom was not feeling up to it. They had tickets going for 22 which is ridiculously cheap considering the Sixers are still a pretty good team. I would have had to pay more for a movie ticket to see Spider-Man last night than that. Looks like it wound up being a pretty good game though for those that got to see it.

We really need to see some investment in these schools. Look at Mississippi as an example...
Endowment:
Ole Miss: $775M
Mississippi State: $700M
Southern Miss: $300M
Jackson State: $60M
Alcorn State: $20M
Mississippi Valley State: $2.7M (!!!)
It is embarrassing how little we contribute to HBCU schools considering their historical importance to our country. Even when they get money it is a drop in the bucket to what they deserve.

Good for this young man on getting paid and getting coached by one of the greatest (if not the greatest) DB’s to ever play the game. I am glad he’ll be at JSU and hopefully the experience is good for him.
I haven’t been to a college football game in a long time, but going to see JSU this coming season seems like it would be fun seeing the on-field product instead of just showing up to see the SONIC BOOM.

That was just amazing to read. What a way to be remembered!

Who the fuck is Austin Reaves?
Someone who should be playing every night. The Purple and Gold need all the shooters we can get that will also try and play defense. I was walking back home during the game and a friend and fellow Laker fan back in Dallas was telling me that “Your cousin just hit the game winner!” Nice to have someone under age 40 doing something positive on the court when he gets his chance.

As someone who knows exactly what the kid is feeling in that kind of setting I am so glad that they had a sensory room he could go to. That is so freaking cool! What a great memory for both father and son thanks to a little help from their staff!

Monster win! Turning point! Eh, struggling to get excited about this team.
Me too. Still love the Purple and Gold, but this team is decidedly not fun to watch. At least THOSE GUYS are having a lackluster season as well. We can commiserate together with them!

NRG and the Alamo Dome are dumps compared to Jerryworld. Kids want to play in the premier facility in the state.
Exactly. The players want to play there, the coaches want the games there and overall it’s a pretty awesome experience for them to get to play in that palace. All of the title games should be there every single year.

I’m not as pessimistic as some of you, but I do see us headed towards a Wall-E type situation. Too many willing to be fat and lazy staring at a screen all day. I I completely realize the irony as I type this.
I’m not sure the WallE like scenario (or Terminator) doesn’t overestimate AI. If AI doesn’t become advanced enough to handle not just the conveyor line, but also keeping the conveyor line (and everything else) running, then the second or third generation of WallE humans isn’t floating around space carefree, they are in an oh shit situation where machines are starting to break down and no one alive knows anything about them.
I have mentioned this before, but the show on Prime called The Expanse shows what I believe our future will look like for the poor and destitute. They are given a monthly stipend because there are no jobs left for them to do in America because of automation.

This thread has some really good thought provoking stuff in it. I was not expecting to read something this engaging tonight, but it’s cool to see discourse happen.

Thanks for that post and the videos. I want to watch them later today when I have time. There is a few from James Baldwin during that time where he debated thoughts and ideas. The thoughtfulness and respect in those old clips is a far cry from today.
The yelling and screaming accomplish absolutely nothing except lining the pockets of news networks who know we have millions of people who live for the ridiculous drama they see on these network shows.

Look who you’re talking to though!
There is so much misplaced hate and anger right now. We should be attempting to bring people back into the fold of modern society. I do believe that the hate and spite possessed by millions of our fellow citizens is not going away anytime soon. However, I do not look at all of them as a lost cause.
Sometimes you have to be the one doing the changing and in the process help others out that need a kickstart to get their life back to some semblance of normalcy. We have really lost that ability to connect with and help each other and it shows in how our society functions.

South Oak Cliff vs. Liberty Hill HS Championship Game

Different neighborhoods is all. If you don’t look at them exactly how a map should say they are supposed to be labeled it makes it easier to understand.
