    If this isn't allowed here I apologize...BUUUUUT...

     

    has anyone else heard that next realignment football will go back to taking the top 4 teams and then splitting D1 and D2 once the playoffs hit?

    That would be a big mistake ....

    Both teams fought to the end and made some huge plays. Waskom played good but Garrison beat themselves.

    Yes they did ... the late hit out of bounds by #3 ending up giving Waskom a 7 - 0 halftime lead .... Dawgs fumbles and penalties probably cost us two scores in the first half .... I can't understand getting cute on 4th and short twice and turning the ball over on downs instead of continuing what worked all night, smash mouth straight ahead .... Penalties killed us all game .... and the non-call pass interference was a back breaker .... DB was all over the Garrison receiver ,,,, congrats to Waskom for taking advantage and good luck the rest of the way .... my son who played for Waskom was sitting right by me and just smiled .... he knows we beat ourselves with too many mistakes ....

    Pardon MY Texas upbringing, but I really can't wrap my brain around why people, mostly MAGA types, embrace first an NYC huckster, a casino owner, with 6 bankruptcies, three wives, and a lot of gold lame in Trump, and THEN think a 'bro', basically a bearded frat boy with a smirk on his face, who made his money in CALIFORNIA (!) moving money around, which wasn't seen as a reputable job but a con, when I was growing up, is wise and formidable. I mean, they both tell you what you want to hear, but if they weren't, would you see them as worthy of being admired? 😑

    How about the record breaking economy and no wars, how about not perverts in bathrooms, how about no government funded sex changes for minor kids? How about it, Meathead?

    Houston Astros announce the name change of Minute Maid Park

    Houston Astros announce the name change of Minute Maid Park

    What was once known as "the juice box" by local Houstonians will become "the ice box."

    On Monday, The Houston Astros announced that its iconic Minute Maid Park would change its name to Daikin Park due to a new naming rights deal, for which financial details have yet to be disclosed.

    Founded in 1924, Daikin Industries  (DKILF)  is a huge Japan-based air conditioning company with a North American distribution center in Houston, Texas, and a manufacturing plant in Waller, Texas, northwest of downtown Houston.

    This Japanese company bought the name rights to the ballpark for 15 seasons, officially starting in January 2025. The deal runs through 2039.

    This massive name change comes with some expensive updates, as the Astros now have to remove all Minute Maid logos from the ballpark and replace them with a brand new logo and branding that better resembles its new name.

    These renovations will be unveiled on the Astros' Opening Day, which will take place Mar. 27, 2025.

    "The Houston Astros and Daikin share the same values, a commitment to excellence and a desire to give back to our local community. As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this ballpark in 2025, I am proud to have Daikin alongside us to create even more special memories for our fans now and in the future,” said Owner and Chairman of the Houston Astros, Jim Crane.

    Loyal Houston Astros fans react to the shocking news

    Although the announcement is big for the Houston Astros since Daikin will allow the ballpark to continue functioning as its main sponsor, loyal Astros fans are not as thrilled by the shocking news.

    The Houston Astros took to X to announce the news about the ballpark's name change, and loyal baseball fans were devastated. 

    Users on the social media platform flooded the comment section with comments like: 

    "A crime against all that is decent" and "What have y'all done????"

     

    Another user and proud Houstonian expressed her anger by commenting: 

    "Terrible name. This company has virtually no footprint in this country. Just a money grab for the Astros. Nothing more. No connection to our city."

    Many Houston locals who grew up referring to the ballpark as "the juice box" expressed their sadness with one commenting:

    "So you literally can't call it the juice box anymore. I hate sponsorships." 

    Astros fans who refuse to acknowledge the ballpark's new name commented:

    "It'll always be Minute Maid Park for me." and "It's still Minute Maid Park."

    Houston Astros make a shocking business move and fans are devastated
