...De La Salle High School, has used to win a startling 151 games in a row...

I go to the school. :| I think I would know.

Everyone knows that DLS has been chock-full of roid-raging teens the last decade. And now that all their star seniors are gone, their team is just "good" this year (i'm speculating).

I don't like it when people say we are "roid-raging teens." Just because we won so many games doesn't mean we are on steroids. No, we don't draft. No, we don't do steroids. We won a lot because of teamwork and the coaches. But I think Terrence Kelly's recent death really hit hard for the coaches/players. And, to make matters worse, our playbook was stolen a few days before the game. That, sounds like a conspiracy to me.

The team I play for (Victor J. Andrew Thunderbolts) just broke a 7year, 9-game losing streak to Lincoln-Way Central. We beat them 28-24. Great game. :yes:

:laugh:

Man, doesn't it feel awesome when you win for the first time in years?

For one, if you have no clue what you're talking about then don't talk. If I were to speculate, I'd say Football is a huge thing there. There's a school not too far from where I live (Celina) that won 70-something consecutive games and loads of consecutive state titles, and that was because they're a football school. It's a football town. Chances are De La Salle is, too.

episode: it was longest current High School streak.

Man, I've heard stories about De La Salle football that you wouldn't believe.

And I can say what I want as this is a public forum. :happy:

Dear gosh, let's not get into the whole 'this is a free country'-type remarks.

Why would you bother stating such information as fact when you have no clue at all of what you're talking about? I've heard no such rumors of the school, but I'm sure the rumors like to fly in California so kids there can boost their ego: "Man, we lost... but, uhh.... THEY TAKE STEROIDS!". Please.

SI just did a great article on this Catholic school. First off, stop about the steroids crap. Steroids make you stronger, not more athletic, not more intelligent. Maybe they have a great coach, maybe they are disciplined, maybe, just maybe they are a great football school. California just has the best HS football players in the country, hands down, no question about it and no argument even approachable. We always stomp the Texas teams and that is all people do on a Friday night in Texas is watch HS football. They live and breathe it, we take it casually sometimes and still beat people.

Mater Dei, Long Beach Poly, De la Salle are all great programs. Sure they 'import' kids to play on there teams. Fact is, this loss will not do anything to the team except keep them from an undefeated season again. Let the teams play again and see who wins.

Please tell me you're joking.

Is that the reason why the California NFL teams are the worst in the country?

hahaha...

Well, even if he is trying to say that California Football players are better, I'd love to see how he'd argue it. For one, look at OU's roster and pretty much any major college team's roster. If you'll notice, most of the players are from Texas. Maybe one or two from Cali, but Texas players are much more recruited than California players. You can also look at the birth of a lot of NFL players and see quite a bit from Texas. Cali has quite a bit, too, but again, I'll put money that more NFL players are from Texas than Cali.

Also, if he's talking about teams, then I'd say he's off-base there, too. For one, Texas doesn't let private high schools recruit players if they want to play in any serious league. California, on the other hand, does. Texas teams are better coached, if you ask me -- look at the products from major schools in the area and you'll see what I mean.

He's also completely off-base with his comment on how California teams beat Texas teams -- uhhhh, since when? California teams almost always refuse to play Texas teams that are nationally or state ranked (yes, including your precious La Salle).

Quick question: what High School football game is being offered television contracts by both Fox and ESPN? Nope, not a California game... the Southlake Carroll and Denton Ryan game (both of which are around 30 minutes from here... maybe I should go? :p). What's that? Oh yeah -- Southlake's ranked #1, too ;)

Note: this from a person who doesn't like Football or Texas football to begin with... but I know what I'm talking about, so don't try that arguement ;)

LOL, ok you guys keep believing that. I never once said the NFL isn't chalk full of players from Texas. And who is arguing about California pro teams, that is just stupid. Pro teams are not comprised of home town players. Everyone is biased against California anyways. Carson Palmer should have had no question about winning the Heisman, yet there were a alot doubting him. All the columnists, reporters don't watch the west coast games because of the time gap. And Fox and ESPN always show HS football games, if you lived out here you would know that. California teams go to Hawaii every year to play football over there, sometimes against Texas. You would have to live out here to know what you are talking about. I lived in Texas for a year, so I know what it is like out there. Watch a De la Salle or LB Polly game, it is precision football at a HS level.

I never said anything about California pro-teams, that was the previous poster. And, yes, I realize that... exactly why I didn't talk about professional teams from California.

And thank you, I will keep believing that. Want to know why? Because everything I said was true. As I said, California teams almost always refuse to play a ranked Texas team. If you can give me proof saying otherwise (recently... don't go back 10 years, please... thanks), then I'll admit I was wrong. If you can't, then stop making stupid assumptions that you don't know about.

Fox and ESPN always nationally televise High School games? Um, since when? When was the last High School football game you saw nationally televised -- I'm not talking about regionally, here -- nationally, bud. So, how would I know that 'if I lived over there'? Last time I checked, things that are shown nationally are available in Texas, too ;)

    • 99% of Control Panel will be moved to Settings. Then by 2050, 20% of settings will have been moved to the Configuration Menu. I have no issues with Settings as it exists now in Windows 11. Bring everything over and be done with it.
    • We collect the few carcasses we get (as long as drivers report them, as they should) and while we have our fair share, we don't have nearly enough crashes with deer "to paint the roads with deer carcasses" in Finland. Also, if you can't handle the risks, DO NOT DRIVE. I really don't want everything to be so simple and stupid, that I don't have to worry about my surroundings (I also hate Apple devices because they kind of decide everything for you and offer very little customization vs. Android). Most people probably encounter much higher risks and dangers in their daily jobs than they encounter on roads. Just a few weeks ago I twisted my anckle at work while walking and I haven't had even a near miss with an animal in traffic for many years despite driving something like 27000+ km/year (there were a couple of off years in there too) and seeing many deer, a few moose and many smaller creatures on the road. I find it extremely rare to have deer stumble directly in front of me - it happens, but in my opinion not nearly enough to warrant considering it super dangerous (I actually find it exhilarating when it does happen as it changes the daily commute and it actually requires me to stay focused). It is probably more common to have some idiot with their face glued to their phone wonder in front of you or a kid on an electric scooter disregard all traffic rules. Here in the Nordics we also have plenty of snow and that kind of f's up anything that relies on lines or other clear lane indicators. The one time I have (kind of) started raging while driving was when I had a loan car from service and it had lane guidance. That freaking thing basically felt like it wanted to hit every pothole and bump it could and I really, really freaking hated it (came close to ripping the whole steering wheel of, I tell you . Didn't feel safer at all, quite the contrary, and it distracted me from the road more than anything else I've driven before, constantly fighting that f'ing thing to go where I wanted it to go (no clear lines, a crack in the pavement, etc. and it became confused as hell and required more adjusting than any traditional car). Also noteworthy that globally the amount of people with driver's licenses is pretty low (like under 20 %), many countries have great public transport systems and many walk and cycle (even during the winter).
    • The snipping tool has come a long way. Every feature they add reduces the need for third-party utilities; in the past it seemed MS shied away from adding features to some in-box tools just so there would be a more robust third-party developer base. Now that we finally have boxes, circles and arrows, can they finally add text bubbles?
    • It's a custom built linear internal power supply which is isolated from the mainboard, it is very clean. External switching PSUs can be noisy and send that noise to the components. Linear external power supplies are expensive for good ones and are rare to see included with a device hence why they are sold optionally.
