    Very well could be. Linton has all the pieces in place this year to give MD a run-for-their money. But what do I know, we're no where near MD's ability according to some on this thread. 

    Good luck to both, should be a whale of a ball game. 

    I agree that we have all the pieces in place.  But we will have to play mistake free, and probably have the ball bounce in our favor a couple of times.

    Was just referencing a comment earlier that MD will "no doubt be the toughest test" the Miners have faced all year. I wasn't mis-representing anything. Thought it was a slap-in-the-face to my beloved Raiders ...that is all. Back in my hole I'll climb. 

    Don't get your panties in a bunch.  SR is a totally different monster Week 11 as compared to Week 1.  All things being equal, if SR and MD are close in ability, then MD is probably much improved in Week 11....making Week 11 MD better than Week 1 SR.  Hence the "toughest test" comment you refer to.  It's science...

    There's not a Miner fan out there who doesn't hope that SR is equal to or better than MD.

    Having been a former employee on the Sports Desk at the H-T briefly from 2015-2016, I have a soft spot for what that staff has tried to maintain for high school sports... especially Harrell, Beane, Gordillo, and others.

    I've always, at least since the late 90's, been impressed with coverage the H-T gives us.  No offense Schwing @ts32, you do a superb job as well!  But for being 40 miles away, they go above and beyond what I think is expected of them.

    Miners by 1 point.

    In response to Muda's question

    So what special goodies do veterans who have a <insert wartime period here> designation receive that "peacetime" veterans do not?

     

    And yours

    So the military is qualifying Veteran status based on Service in a combat zone. Even worse.

    While I don't know the exact details involving peacetime vs wartime statuses, I can tell you that Reservists who weren't assigned to a certain number of days active duty can't use "Veterans Preference" when they apply for federal employment.  A so called "special goody" for those active duty military personnel vs those who aren't.  So in a way, the military/federal government does qualify veteran status  based on service.

    No. Did you read them to see if there was anything there you could use to discredit her? 

    Are the boys in the video just using "locker room talk"?

    Why do you automatically assume that I want to discredit her?   Again, I don't know what happened in the minutes leading up to the clip.  I want to see what kind of info she throws out into the world, gain a little context.

    What do you mean? I've seen plenty of skepticism to the original clip. And lots of excuses.

    Initially there wasn't.  Twitter erupted, and the media reported.  A firestorm ensued.  Then the entire video came out.  News outlets redacted stories and people deleted their tweets.  You provide a 15 sec clip with no idea of what happened before she started filming.  Did you read her tweets?

    Just some fine boys waiting on their bus.

     

    We should probably approach this video with the same skepticism that wasn't afforded to the original clip that set this into motion.  I would like to know what happened those minutes leading up to this 15 second clip before I make any conclusions. I clicked to see additional tweets from this person, and IF true, you will find some of her language pretty disgusting.  I don't tweet, so I don't know how accurate or inaccurate her past tweets are, or if they can be altered.
