Agreed. 12 healthy position players looks like this: Chirinos Stubbs OR Stassi Yuli Altuve CC Bregs Diaz Uncle Mike Springer Jake Reddick Kemp OR Straw If they go with 13, Yordon has to be no. 13.

2019 Select Ball
There were two "Katy" complexes when mine played. Katy Pony, north of Clay, and Katy LL, south of Clay. The ones north of Clay were hit or miss on field quality. Lots of lips, etc. on the larger fields (were the older, less enthusiastic dads coached). The Katy LL fields were usually in good shape. Both complexes were better than W. Little York and Doss Park. lol

2019 Select Ball
My kids grew up in SBMSA and went to MHS. If either son wants to play at MHS, they likely will need to migrate to select ball at some point. I cannot think of one player on MHS varsity over the past six years who played significant innings who didn't play select from at least 12u on. That said, don't get caught up in Memorial area drama of forming a select team as soon as possible. With BBUSA in the backyard, it is just too tempting for those with resources to jump to select for the wrong or misguided reasons. 9u is a beating wherever they play, so my advice is to stay in SBMSA one more year and ride that year out close by, with friends, and without the extra cost. That said, I think Katy PONY and CFSA offer Sunday rec leagues (DH each week) in the fall. It can be a decent way to spend time playing in the fall. Also as an FYI, 9u in the fall and all the learning it entails sort of precludes football.

2018 Houston Texans Season Thread
here's the explanation ... Clowney is not disciplined enough or not smart enough to stay onside. Luck has gotten him five times this season. That "play" is likely in the Colts' playbook as "Clowney Special."

Why we lost (or why OU won)
Too many penalties Poor clock management at end of 1st half Failure to win the LOS

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Based on what is out in public now, this is what likely happened: Coach O fires Dameyune Craig Aggy runs out of time Refs put one second back on clock Aggy wins a game (with the benefit of multiple close calls) Coach Craig decides to talk shit (straight out of How To Be Aggy 101) Cole N. Fisher (the N is for Nepotism) tries to reel Craig in (undoubtedly so he can brag to Uncle Jimbo about it) LSU Coach Kragthorpe tells Craig to pipe down, get back to his sideline, have some class, etc. Fisher stiff arms Kragthorpe as Fisher is ushering Craig away Unbeknownst to Fisher, Kragthorpe has a neurological pacemaker, which acts up as a result of Fisher's shove Kevin Faulk sees or hears about it and gets pissed Faulk and Fisher thrown down Faulk and Fisher are separated and Fisher goes and tells Uncle Jimbo Uncle Jimbo denies knowing anything in post-game press conference Aggy Athletic Dept. denies knowing anything about fight, Cole Fisher, Jimbo's family tree, etc. on Sunday Cajuns are riled up

Texas Cowboy needs thoughts, prayers, and support
I know things change, but i saw pictures of him in "old man" garb, not "new man" garb, and thus made the assumption. Your points are right to a point. If the org let sleep-deprived and possibly drunk men drive home, then there is potential liability for the org.

Texas Cowboy needs thoughts, prayers, and support
I suspect that the org has some type of insurance. But what is the theory by which the org is responsible? Cumberland was already a member and wasn't getting hazed (if hazing was even going on). And regardless, if there was hazing, it did not contribute to the accident. The org may have provided Cumberland with alcohol while under age, but there are no indications that his BAC, if any, contributed to his death, i.e. he wasn't driving and he didn't pass out. The report is that the driver fell asleep and crashed. Cumberland was the only one in the car not wearing a seat belt and was ejected. I think the only way you pop the org is by arguing that the org provided alcohol to the driver and that his BAC was over the limit and that caused him to fall asleep. Social host liability theory. But the defense (whether it be the org's defense or the driver's defense) is going to argue that Cumberland was contributorily negligent in not using his belt.

I love the Texans as much as anyone, but do you really think they have a chance to finish ahead of two of the following: Chiefs, Steelers, Pats?

Baylor is ahead of TCU in USNWR. Trinity and Southwestern are not ranked nationally but are extremely high in the regional rankings, so I agree that we should put them ahead of Blinn St. College
