I hate to change subjects but TG brought up football. I spent about 8 years in Texas before returning to Ohio and in both states HS football is king.

Certainly in Texas you almost always have to have a mixed type school to win the state championship. We lived in a town that was in the same district as Odessa Permian, and since my wife was a coach (track/volleyball and later swimming) we went to most of the football games. If you watched Friday Night Lights you’ll see that Odessa lost to Dallas Carter, a completely inner city school seemingly 100% minority if you look at the team. Now as I recall after moving to DFW it was a magnet school and thus for that inner city area, was a good school. Nevertheless they beat Permian that year as the movie shows, and that was a highly unusual. Typically the best teams in Texas are the more upper class schools in a given community, which happens to have just enough minority kids to make them great.

I recall watching our hometown Abilene Cooper in the state championship against Drew Brees’ and Austin Westlake. At that time Cooper was the “nicer” school in town, and Westlake HS was considered the school to be at in Austin.

I don’t have enough date points to see if that’s the case here in SD. LCC in my area seems to be less diverse than the schools we were around in Texas, yet they seem to have pretty good teams. (No CIF titles though). Oceanside has a rough reputation and backs it up on the field. Torrey Pines though has some good football teams with a good API.

It’s different out here…. Maybe the API is more indicative.

Colin Cowherd likes to joke about colleges who start bragging about graduation rates are schools getting their asses kicked on the field. i.e. Stanford, Duke, etc.

Oh I didn’t mention specific minority types but I see that the high school where my wife worked in DFW is ranked number one in the ESPN HS poll. (Euless Trinity). That HS was chock full of Tongans. (Oceanside – Samoans). These Tongans are some big people with broad shoulders and compact powerful torsos. I don’t know if the demographics have changed much at Trinity (10 years ago when I was there) but at that time the football team generally had more Tongans across the O-Line and D-Line than any other race. Trinity was not considered high class, but it was also not inner city Ft. Worth where the teams tended to stink though there were great individual talents. I’ve noticed that nearby town Southlake which is very high class has killer football teams too.

Back to Palin:

37,244,000 viewers just about 1 million short of Obama’s record-breaking 38,379,000. Obama was on 10 networks, Palin just 6. Obama is the #1, she is merely the #2.

So I ask again is there a buzz? This buzz amongst the base is reminiscent of the Newt Gingrich election when 50 years of Dem rule was ended.

Also 24 Million watched Biden. Again I don’t mind those that hate her, I just think when they say the pick was a big mistake, that they aren’t being realistic. And for the liberal critics only (not the wayward conservatives without a good candidate)…Hate her for policies, background, and values that’s fine, but have at least admit you must be a little concerned that you are in a dogfight now.

In a race you should be running away with. Any concern that most of the important states you need to steal back the election were won by Hillary? Any concern about Hillary saying the complaints against Palin are sexist?

There is certainly some regrouping going on at Team Obama, as they are now on D-E-F-E-N-S-E.

By the way, someone mentioned that they can’t believe piggs would be falling for the McCain/Palin ticket when they are supposed to be “so much smarter” since they are so keyed in on the housing bubble. Being a pigg I generally don’t listen to most politicians anyway. Doesn’t mean I want the party of more taxes, the party of anti-gun rhetoric, or the party of affirmative action. So yes it’s the lesser of two evils.

Stroke of genius if you ask me. A lot of piggies don’t flip on guys like Rush/Prager/Medved/Hannity/Hewitt etc. I don’t normally either as I am more of a sports talk fan. Today I flipped around and I tell you right now the base is energized. The PUMA democrats seem to like her, although they weren’t going to go with Obama no matter what so I don’t know if that’s a win.

What she has to do is appeal to enough middle america types to flip a state or two. I was a democrat growing up, mostly because dad was in the UAW and God-da#$%it, you had to be dem. However most of the union guys were big NRA and hunting types, and really not liberal in any obvious way.

I can see her life story playing well in the heartland. If McCain carries Michigan and Ohio, it’s all over but the crying.

Working women who are moderates will be attracted to her do it all style, while man men leaning conservative see her as the perfect woman. Attractive, Assertive, Intelligent, hard-working, hockey mom, husband a union guy…

Of course people don’t usually vote for VP, but from perusing message boards it seems there are many conservatives no planning on voting who might come back into the fold.
