Not that I'm aware of, just asking because I live in CS and go to school, wondering if you were doing the same.

When I had Direct TV, I lost my signal only about 3-4 times because of bad weather in 2 years. Everyone who has cable, which for Sinton the provider is Charter, lost their signal a lot more than I did. That is what video games and DVD players are good for.

the main reason i got it was they offer a bundle special w/ verizon...i get my tv, dsl, cell, and home service all together...
i am pleased w/ all but the direct tv and bad weather...
i need to look to see what others are available on this end of town, maybe they will be compatible w/ verizon, too...

You could always go to the bleachers in front of the jumbotron, they don't check for tickets there, and it was always my favorite seat.

Robby Clark...Yeah, he was a chump. When he cleaned house he had the coaches he booted hating him, and not because of the situation, but because of the way he handled it.

I've had both Direct TV and Dish. Direct TV screwed me around and I went to Dish. We can't get cable, too far away from town.

Yes, I remember Coach Barker, Rockdale was the last place he ever coached, may he rest in piece. Mr. Almond was awesome. When I would go to Marlin games I would always see him and stop and talk to him. Fred Johnson doesn't ring a bell though, maybe if I saw him, but I can't promise anything.

Fred was the HC at Rockdale when they won state in track and football in 73?

I helped John move from Rockdale to West
and then helped his mom and sis move out after his passing
Attended his funeral in San Angelo and Eldorado

Ive known John and his family a long time

Almond and I go back to 78 at HF and Orangefield with Ed
he is subbing at Rockdale I believe

All great guys lifelong friends

I miss working with them
