Why does San Antonio have so many Law Enforcement agencies

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 19:20

Today alone I saw SAPD, SA City Crime Unit, and SA Transit Police. Why does San Antonio have so many law enforcement agencies and what’s the point of having so many?

Edit: Can’t forget San Antonio Park Police and while we’re at it let’s throw in the Florida State Troopers I keep seeing that on the Southwest side

Long time SA Native

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 18:56

Howdy y’all!

Like the title says I’m a long time San Antonio Native but first time jerker so be easy on me. Not exactly sure how to start this so I’ll start with an introduction. I go by Mike, and my mom and I moved to San Antonio back in 2005 during Katrina (I didn’t actually live near the gulf during Katrina. I’m from NorCal). I definitely felt like an outsider when I first moved here so to make me feel better my mom rushed to the store and bought me my first guayabera shirt. I instantly felt puro the second I let this fabric touch my body. I instantly immersed myself in all the authenticity San Antonio had to offer. Even though we were poor when we moved here I instantly gained respect from all the diverse natives in Alamo Heights (where we moved and where I grew up). I absolutely love where I grew up. I love how we all embrace the culture of our friends south of the border (I-10) but don’t actually have to mingle with them (minus the ones that cut my grass). I love attending all the authentic fiesta events like Taste of the Northside and Alamo Heights night. I love the authentic Mexican food like Soluna, Bill Miller breakfast tacos, and Paloma Blanca. I love watching the Spurs, early Demar Derozen teams were iconic Spurs teams to me. But most of all I love how I can embrace my inner brown face and seem cultured and open minded to all of my friends and family back in NorCal. Anyways thats all I really have to say for now and can’t wait to start jerking with y’all.

PS I forgot to mention how much I love Selena. Her early wizards of waverly place stuff is unmatched!

Mushroom ID? San Antonio, Tx, USA

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 18:54

Found at my apartment complex’s front lawn. Feel like I’ve heard bad things about the brown underneath part of the shroom so I just assume these aren’t safe to consume and I left them alone. Can anyone get a positive ID on these? San Antonio, Texas, United States, North America

How can I fix my events tab? Only way I can view events is if my friends send me the link.

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 18:37

Why won’t new events load for me? I’ve updated the app, Logged in and out, deleted and reinstalled. Nothing I try is working :(. It’s been like this for a few months now . So I’m lost on what else to try.

PRCA Steer Wrestling World Standings Update, May 1: Dalton Massey Reigns Once Again

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 18:19
The Texas Swing is over and the California Run is underway for the Top 20 steer wrestlers in the World.

May 01, 2024 02:16 PM

With the winter and spring coming to an end, it is only fair to recap the indoor rodeos and all their glory. Your Texas Swing Champions are sitting just right going into the Summer Run while the young guns are inching closer and closer to that Top 15. Take a look at your current Top 20 steer wrestlers in the PRCA World Standings.

No. 1 Dalton Massey, $68,137

Massey has returned to that No. 1 spot in the World. He took his success in Houston and carried it out west. He cashed in over $6,000 at the Clark County Fair and Rodeo after two smooth runs landed him second in the Average. He went on to pick up a Round win and finish second in the Average again at Clovis Rodeo to add another $14,000 to his earnings.

No. 2 Dakota Eldridge, $65,724

After coming off the huge win of RodeoHouston, Eldridge has been steady chipping away out west placing in Round 2 and the Average at his home state rodeo in Logandale, Nevada. In Red Bluff, he would do the same before a 6.0-second run in Clovis was enough for a Go-Round check.

No. 3 Stetson Jorgensen, $55,879

After placing in Houston, Jorgesen hustled to the pay window in San Angelo to round out his Texas Swing on a high. But it was at the Red Bluff Roundup where he hit the jackpot. Three sub-5 second runs and a 5.3 in the Finals made him your Red Bluff Champion, adding over $7,500 to his season earnings.

No. 4 Ty Erickson, $53,598

Although Erickson is now sidelined with an injury, he secured a place in the Top 5 thanks to a steady stream of pay days coming his way. Go-Round money in San Angelo kick started the momentum he carried into Clark County Fair and Rodeo where he won the Average. He topped the Average again at the Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo before getting the win at the San Angelo Cinch Chute-Out to the tune of $5,000.

No. 5 Will Lummus, $43,766

Lummus has set himself up to have the ability to be more selective in the rodeos he enters. This season, he took on the Texas Swing and a handful of smaller rodeos but his success early in the season has him sitting right where he wants to be. His latest payday came at the Okeechobee Cowtown Rodeo where a 4.6-second run was enough for second.

No. 6 JD Struxness, $41,961

Struxness had an impressive trip to Rodeo Austin where he claimed the title with a time of 11.8 seconds on three head. This win added over $13,500 to his season earnings. At the final leg of the Texas Swing Struxness finished third in the San Angelo Cinch Chute-Out before cashing in yet again at the Henderson County First Responders PRCA Rodeo.

No. 7 Jacob Talley, $41,373

Talley’s win at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo has been followed up by Go-Round wins in Jackson, Mississippi and three more Texas rodeos including Houston, Austin and the Angelina Benefit Rodeo in Lufkin. In Lufkin, he wound up second in the Average to add $2,500 to his earnings.

No. 8 Stephen Culling, $39,970

Culling followed up his RodeoHouston success with a Go-Round check at the High Desert Stampede and winning Round 2 at the Clark County Fair and Rodeo. He also split the win at the San Angelo Cinch Chute-Out with a time of 4.3 seconds.

No. 9 Tanner Brunner, $38,603

Since Fort Worth, Brunner’s biggest payday came from the La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros in Arizona where he cashed in on more than $7,500. He added another $3,000 to his earnings at Rodeo Austin before he placed in the Go-Rounds at the Goliad County Fair and PRCA Rodeo along with the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo.

No. 10 Tyler Pearson, $39,228

The majority of Pearson’s success this season came early on but he has still picked up a few Go-Round wins this spring. This includes most recently the Angelina Benefit Rodeo. A 5.0-second run was second in Round 2 while a 10.1 on two head was fast enough to be fourth in the Average.

No. 11 Don Payne, $34,845

Payne’s last three paydays have come in his home state of Texas. Starting at the Ellis County Stock Show and Rodeo, he finished third with a 4.7-second run. He would earn almost $3,000 at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo before pulling a Go-Round check at the Angelina Benefit Rodeo.

No. 12 Tucker Allen, $34,586

The Reserve Champion of RodeoHouston has found some more luck out west. A 5.5-second run in Cave Creek, Arizona was good enough for third and he ended up third in the Average at the Oakdale Saddle Club Rodeo just north in California. He went on to Lakeside, California and once again cashed in to be just outside the Top 10.

No. 13 Walt Arnold, $34,015

Arnold cashed in at the Rio Grande Valley Livestock Show and Rodeo before he took advantage of two California rodeos since the Texas Swing. His 3.9-second run at the Red Bluff Roundup landed him at the pay window before he found himself there again in Clovis.

No. 14 Jacob Edler, $28,252

After a slow winter, things turned around for Edler at Rodeo Austin. A 3.7-second run in the Finals put him second in the Average and added over $11,000 to his earnings. Since then, he has added another $3,500 to his earnings thanks to smooth runs in California, Nevada and Oregon.

No. 15 Clayton Hass, $27,035

A win at the Rio Grande Velley Livestock Show and Rodeo brought in $3,600 but more recently, Hass cinched two Go-Round wins, including the Finals and the Average at the Clovis Rodeo. This win bumped him into the Top 15 after paying out $13,000.

No. 16 Kyle Irwin, $25,377

Since RodeoHouston, Irwin has only attended five rodeo but added over $4,000 to his season earnings. His biggest check of those five rodeos came at the Southeastern Livestock Exposition when he stopped the clock at 4.0-seconds and it was worth $2,300.

No. 17 Travis Munro, $25,018

A successful winter has Munro just inside the Top 20. A steady flow of paydays from Rodeo Houston kept him there has he was steady through his Super Series. He has only been at three rodeos since and Munro is gunning for his first National Finals Rodeo qualification this season.

No. 18 Justin Shaffer, $24,623

The Texsa bull dogger has not had to go very far for recent success. A 4.0-second flat was good enough for a Go-Round check at Rodeo Austin before he was 4.3 a the Nacogdoches Pro Rodeo. The two runs combined added over $4,000 to his earnings.

No. 19 Cole Walker, $24,344

The No. 1 Resistol rookie is sitting inside the Top 20 in the World after a big Texas Swing win came his way. A 4.1 split the Finals at the San Angelo Stock Show and Rodeo and Walker left with over $7,000 added to his season earnings. He also placed at the Clark County Fair and Rodeo while finishing fourth at the Resistol Rookie Roundup just two weeks later.

No. 20 Cash Robb, $23,163

Your 2023 Resistol Rookie of the Year is trailing this year’s Rookie Race leader by just over $1,000. Robb had recent success in California when he finished second in the Final Round at Clovis Rodeo with an 8.3-second run.

What can a 19 year old girl do to socialize in San Antonio?

San Antonio Sport News - Thu, 05/02/2024 - 17:38

So, I have a 19 year old cousin from the Navajo reservation in Arizona staying with my family here in San Antonio to find better a better living situation than what she had in AZ. She's done with highschool and is trying to find a job to save up for college. No luck just yet with a good job and I worry that she hasnt been around her age group very much and is maybe getting depressed. She just plays video games and is glued to her phone most of the day, which was not be the case when she had first arrived. Im wondering what it is that a 19 year old girl that is not from this big city can do to connect socially with her age group in a healthy way. She was recently invited to Fiesta with some other kids shes been talking to online and I hardly think that's the safest or best influence. She likes cats, anime, jewlery, makeup, and singing rezzy songs. Just want to be a good older brother/cousin and see if I can help her find a positive friend group in the city. I want to suggest volunteering at an animal shelter, but maybe that's not social enough.

Anyone have any suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it.
