Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Are you talking about 83/84 that goes to Ballinger? If you're that close...we should get together one weekend for a Broncos game at Buffalo Wild Wings or at the house.
83 and I am 200 miles away. Been through Abilene and Ballinger many many times when I drove otr. But, no I live way north in Perryton.

Evacuations, Sandbagging in Effect
By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH, Associated Press Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Flood water topped at least 20 levees protecting low-lying communities along the Missouri River and other nearby streams, authorities said Wednesday.
Stretches of highway have been closed and thousands of people have been evacuated because of flooding caused by a large weekend storm system that also devastated Greensburg, Kan., with a deadly tornado.
"It's a major flood," said National Weather Service meteorologist Suzanne Fortin. "It won't be a record breaker, but it will be in the top three."
Missouri Highway Patrol troopers were working 24-hour shifts near the village of Big Lake, which was inundated after nine levee breaks, said Lt. John Hotz.
Two levees were topped by high water during the night, authorities said. In Levacy, water from the Missouri River had started to encroach on the town and evacuations were under way Wednesday, Fortin said.
Big Lake, on the Missouri River about 95 miles northwest of Kansas City, was inundated Tuesday.
"The town is a loss. At this time, we don't know, but it looks like that's what's going to happen," Mark Sitherwood, presiding commissioner of Holt County, said Tuesday.
Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt declared a state of emergency and mobilized National Guard troops to help. At least 19 Kansas counties declared local disaster emergencies.
Two-thirds of the town of Mosby, 20 miles northeast of Kansas City, was under 2 to 4 feet of water Tuesday from the overflowing Fishing River, said D.C. Rogers, Clay County director of emergency services.
Parts of Missouri, Iowa and Kansas received as much as 8 inches of rain in a 24-hour period during the weekend thunderstorms, the weather service said.
Flooding in Oklahoma was blamed for the drowning death of a man whose car was swept off a county road. A Kansas man died when his vehicle overturned in a water-filled ditch near Wichita, Butler County officials said.
High water had begun to recede in flooded parts of western Iowa.
This gives you photos and a video to watch about the flooding.
Thank the lord it quit raining! We got 7" over the weekend
and it's been sunny ever since.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
