Yes, he punted last year as a soph. Made some level of "All State" teams. I believe that you are taking the LNJ comments out of context. This past Friday night his punting did stand out versus the play of the balance of the team. Is he good? Yes. Can his punting be the difference in a game? Yes. Will it? TBD.

Will the real Hallsville Bobcats please stand up? Hallsville really suprised me this past week. The effort just did not seem to be there. What with it being Senior Night and the first home game I figured that there would be some sort of intensity there. It was lacking. This Friday is Homecoming. Another night to get up for or another night with distractions? Hopefully the coaches will rally the troups. A positive however is our kicking game especially the punter. He can punt for height and distance. A good weapon to have. The place kicker can really get his foot into it as well. If Hallsville defense rebounds I see a close game with Hallsville on top. Offense will have to run the ball and improve on the passing game.

Prayers from Hallsville. Happy moments, PRAISE GOD. Difficult moments, SEEK GOD. Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD. Painful moments, TRUST GOD. Every moment, THANK GOD.

Agree. Too many things can happen before a kid sees varsity; physical growth rate varies, loss of interest, choosing another sport, poor grades, move away, etc. Though fun to talk and brag about it is only potential at that point. Potential is ability that is yet to be exploited (or wasted).

In the early 80's (at least thru '84) Hallsville's district was: LE Atlanta MP Paris SS

Freshmen "B" team played Union Groves' JV and lost 38-6. Freshmen "A" team tied Kilgore 14-14. Hallsville scored one TD on offense and returned an INT 53 yds for a TD. Not sure how the JV turned out.

I think lingering injuries are hampering Fozzy's development into the top back.

^^So our posts are being graded now?

Hard to judge an empty stadium but it looks like the Hallsville band and drill team will take up 25% to 30% of the visitor's side of the stadium.

Yes, tall, rangy kid, #7 on JV.

Yes, he suited up on JV last night.

My wife has used the "math" one in her classroom at school. This topic has also brought back the memories of watching films in the classroom on the reel to reel projector about the "sun". It had some animation and I believe that it was hosted by Eddie Albert. This would have been when I was in elementary school back in the early 70's.

I am chuckling as I read your post Smoaky. It is great to have memories like that. The image in my mind is a priceless memory.

Today against Lindale in Lindale. The freshmen begin around four this afternoon with the varsity beginnig around 7 or 7:30.

Reason for "big deal" of training camp? Football is a team sport. You work, sweat, bleed, suffer, enjoy, rejoice, bond, etc. together. I do not care if you know the system. The balance of the team is out there working; you should be too. I would resent someone who benefited from my hard work without them lifting a finger to help out. Of course in our society today values are different. I have aways thought that Favre was a gritty QB and would do anything to win but now this "on again-off again" thing is getting old.

Two other things to do: Most games the Alumni Center is obviously restricted to alumni and their guest. But some games they open it up to the public. They did this a couple of years ago when Texas played Sam Houston. However, since this is the opening game I am not sure if they will open it up or not. Good place to cool off and eat and watch other games on the TV if it is opened to the general public. Also, make sure you are in the stadium about 30 to 45 minutes before kick-off. Now I am not a band person but it is pretty awesome to watch the Longhorn Band march into the stadium. Come early, stay late, be loud. Go Horns Go!

Get there early and go to the entance to the north end zone and greet the 'Horns as they get off of the team bus. A victory line is formed complete with the cheerleaders. My kids always enjoy doing this. It happens 3 hours or so before kick-off. A good time for the kids to shake some hands or give high (low) fives!

My prayers are with his family, friends, and those still serving. Rest in peace. You gave your "today" so that we can have our "tomorrows". Thank you.

If you are flying AA count on being late!

It is for motion sickness. It is over-the-counter so you can get it anywhere I believe (the wife does all of the shopping so I am guessing!).

Brings tears to my eyes!

I fly at least once a month overseas or to Canada and have spent a lot of time on planes and in airports. Therefore I have learned a lot on business travel. An exit row also has additional leg room. Try to avoid a middle seat so that you do not have people on either side of you. Do not try to be funny when going through security. Just do as they say else you might get pulled aside by trying to make a funny about security. They take it serious. Wear comfortable clothing. If you have nasal congestion take some nose spray with you to inhale just prior to boarding the plane to clear your sinuses. There is no pain like an ear ache on a plane due to the pressure not relieving in your ears. Chewing gum helps for some people also. I prefer aisle seats but you being a first time flyer you may want to get a window seat to enjoy the view. You can get some really cool photos from the plane. People get irritated if you stand too long in the aisle adjusting/storing your luggage while loading. If possible step into your seat area to do your business. Take your own snacks onto the plane. The airlines do not cater like they used to. Plus the prices are way too high for what you get. Bring your own entertainment. In flight entertainment is hit-or-miss. Bring your own headphones. They usually charge money for theirs and they are not very good. Most of the traveling that I do is international and the flights are 10 to 15 hours long and I like to sleep. So if you are a sleeper then I would recommend an U-shaped neck pillow for head support. Be aware of your surroundings. Size up the people. Know where the exits are. Avoid doing number 2 in the lavatory! Go before you board! Enjoy your flight and hopefully you will get a decent neighbor for the flight.

My son recceived his letter from Plunk yesterday. I believe that we scrimmage Lindale again.

^^^^ True

Phone records will indicate the timing of all of this? Did he send/receive text messages around the time that he called his attorney? Nice to have the knowledge to call my attorney first other than friend, mom, dad, police, get help from bystander, etc.
