  1. Well the Clips system is still attempting to fit THE SYSTEM into their team. Should be a dynamite season watching all of that transpire.
  2. I want to see a team that possibly is playing in June have a shot to get a high pick. Being mediocre or hoarding draft picks should not be the only way to wind up with a really good pick. Nuggets win this tournament, go back-to-back and get at least a top 10 pick. Make it happen Adam Silver.
  3. I think of the “Knox City Knocker” Danny Balis. I assume that he still works for The Ticket. I guess I could just check the thread dedicated to that radio station to find out.
  4. He should apply at Iowa.
  5. I remember playing McNeil back in 1994 when the Mavs were still the new school in that area. I was on the freshman team that year and they pistol-whipped us. Our varsity returned the favor the next night though. I always like the RR schools because a cousin that I still call from time-to-time was a starting defensive end on the 1992 RR High team. All 5’10” 180 lbs of him. I remember going to watch them play their first round game against Temple the year the Wildcats won state. The Dragons had Ines Perez as their coach and they got up 14-0 pretty quickly. The only problem was Coach McQueen and Temple scored the final 55 points of the game…😂
  6. They should get a top 10 guaranteed pick with the odds commensurate of a team with the 10th worst record, thus giving them a chance to be even higher than that. You do that and we will see teams and organizations go all out to get that pick. Sam Presti might sell his family for a shot at another lottery pick.
  7. Real shame…I feel bad for no one on the JV team. It is almost like getting Harden instantly makes you play 4 on 5 on defense while having to cater to him on the other end or he’ll sulk eventually.
  8. Payback was indeed really good and you can definitely see the association with Line of Duty with one cop feeding info to the bad guys in the show. So the main bad guy is played by accomplished Scottish actor Peter Mullan. You might also remember him from the 2nd photo as well where he played a bad guy from out in the sticks in an American series all of us would know called Ozark. The carryover from each character is evident. He excels at this kind of role whether using his normal accent or American one. This was a highly, highly watchable show. Not sure how they could do a season two, but I am in if they figure it out.
  9. They did not waltz through 5-5 Taylor to begin things. 28-28 going into the 4th before scoring twice in the final period. Matter of fact Boerne’s district went 1-3 in the opening round. Even taking into account their 42-28 win they were outscored in the 4 bi-district games by a combined total of 184-73. Davenport 62-14 Fredericksburg Burnet 42-17 Somerset Lampasas 52-0 Uvalde If Lampasas played their starters after halftime it would’ve been one of those 70 plus point wins so many teams are putting up now. Davenport will win the region and win that 3rd round game by double digits. They have been tested by better opponents overall this year and they have the best offense in the region, by far. Burnet gave Brownwood a pretty stout test on the road early in the season and have not lost since Lampasas beat them to open district play. It would not shock me to see Burnet in the regional final.
  10. I feel for you and your family. Such a beautiful spirit that your nephew had.
  11. I had a next door neighbor that used to go hunting for mushrooms with his dog out in the forest when I lived in a really rural area some years back. He’d sell some and use some. He was around his mid to late 40’s, but looked like he was 60. Guy had a rough life as far as I could tell. Seems like the mushrooms helped him with his anger because the excessive alcohol sure wasn’t helping. I still drank at that point in life, but have never used any drugs. I am all for what you men and women in this thread are doing though. Anything like this that can help you sort out life and put you on the road to being in a better place is good with me.
  12. I caught the end of the Lampasas radio broadcast and the head basketball coach for Lampasas has done the YouTube broadcasts all year with a new guy from Illinois (Who is a great play-by-play guy). He was explaining why Calallen losing in the first round was a big deal.
  13. Lampasas won 52-0 over Mr. Alright, Alright, Alright’s Alma mater. Lampasas pulled their starters on offense with three minutes left in the 1st half when it was 35-0. The defensive starters were out shortly after halftime as well. Nice to see a lot of back-ups and some JV guys get into a playoff game.
  14. Carter gets an interception on a desperation heave on the final play to win 41-35. The Cowboys have Stephenville next.
  15. Carter and Sulphur Springs have a good game going on. It’s on YouTube. 27-21 Carter at the half.
  16. I’m watching the Lampasas game with Uvalde. NFHS needs to let a crew do these games that actually follow whichever team is listed as home. This guy has to be doing his first solo broadcast and clearly did not prepare. He is nervous as I don’t know what.
  17. I understand that. My only bias is having watched Davenport. Their senior QB throws for 300 a game and their top two WR’s are both seniors. The connection their QB has with those two is ridiculous. They run the ball well enough with their sophomore back to be able to air it out like that. The issue Davenport will have is whether their defense can stay fresh enough. If that happens they have an outside shot to play to the last week in Arlington. Davenport scores points in bunches and when they’re rolling it’s hard to stop them. Burnet gave a good blueprint of how to play them, but the Bulldogs did darn near everything right that night to win.
  18. I am going to pick Davenport to make it out of the 4A Region IV D1 bracket. That means playing Boerne. They’ll win that game as they have the better offense and a fast, but undersized defensive front.
  19. Well your friend nailed it. I told a friend back in Oklahoma to go see it right after I left the showing last night.
  20. Did GRHorn fly in from Russia for this debacle?
  21. Good for Nurkic. I remember reading last season about Jokic not wanting to lose Nurkic as a teammate and that he felt bad about getting his starting position. I believe he even said he was willing to stay on the bench if they would keep him. Good for Nurkic in finding a nice home in Phoenix.
  22. Are you telling me the Sixers are better off without Harden and Doc? Why it is almost as if letting Maxey be your guy setting the table for everyone seems like a good idea. He and Nurse are going to work well together. Barring major injuries I think they win the east.
  23. This was good, REALLY good. It’s going straight into the holiday movie rotation. Giamatti was nomination and winner worthy for his performance. Such a wonderful movie to watch. Highly recommend seeing this. Not enough good things to say about this. Dominic Sessa as Angus was fantastic as well. This movie had my attention from start to finish.
  24. The name seemed fun so I looked him up. Member of the Italian national team and his mother was a former hurdler on the Italian Olympic team. His mom’s partner was a member of the Italian women’s national team as well.
