    A proposal for changes to kickoffs has been published.  

     

     

    I posted this in the off season topic. 

    Onside kick is only permitted in the 4th quarter. I believe it would revert back to the traditional formations.

    Forget the NFL draft machinations and the NCAA basketball tournaments, this was the most important story in sports over this weekend:  https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/us/barkley-marathons-jasmin-paris.html

    If you haven't seen the aforementioned documentary I encourage you to watch it.  And congratulations to Mr. Paris on her monumental achievement.

     

    Great story....I first learned of these ultra races from reading the book "Can't Hurt Me" by David Goggins. The audiobook is great too. His goal was to run the Badwater race that goes through the desert in Nevada. Pretty incredible. Nowhere near as intense of a terrain, a friend of mine ran one here in Northern Indiana, called the Indiana Trail 100 in the Chain O'Lakes State Park.

  3. I do not get why so many are so high on Xavier. When he is on, he is unstoppable, with shooting and passing. My issue is that he so rarely shows that level of play. I see much more of him dribbling into traffic, putting up crazy shots, throwing passes that are way off. He just seems to be responsible for far too many turnovers. 

     

    That said, that ranking list was from June. There were very high expectations for him back then. I did not see it then either. 

    I rarely agree with Dakich on things, but blogger boys is hilarious; and sooo true.

  4. 46 years at Scecina as an assistant and head coach...quite an impressive run. He was an assistant coach there for all 5 of my brothers. The last of my brothers graduated in 1982; probably the most infamous class in Scecina history. 😄

    Coach Hurrle is a class act, and so many have been blessed to be on his teams and in his classrooms. 

    Best of luck Coach Hurrle in your retirement.

    $118,000 for being a strength teacher and head football coach?? Sure, property taxes/land values and quality of living cost - I understand all that - but whoa - different world people are living in up in Westfield 

    Property tax revenue cannot be used for salaries. A referendum could allow money to be moved from one fund to another, but without that, his pay is based on dollars from the general fund. property tax dollars go into a different "silo", as the State calls it. 

  6. I love this day....the first official day of the new season. Has there ever been a free agency period with so many quality RB's in it? 

    Josh Jacobs from Vegas signs with Green Bay

    Saquon Barkley going from the Giants to the Eagles

    Tony Pollard from Dallas to Tennessee...Not sure it's an upgrade for TN, but they could not hang on to Henry

    Derrick Henry from TN to Baltimore. Big upgrade for Baltimore. 

  7. While sad to see him go, it had to happen. 13 starts in 3 seasons. When he was healthy, he was dominant. I LOVE this moment. From the last game he played for Green Bay, and his final salute to the Bears....Classic Bakhtiari! 

    I am guessing he will be A A Ron's teammate soon

  8. 4 in a row to close out the season. Eating crow a bit now as I predicted 3 wins when there were 9 games left. I am going to guess an agent or two, or someone close to agents told Ware and Mgbako they needed to see more if they want to be high draft picks. Johnson is still more of a liability than an asset. They only won 4 in a row a couple times in the pre conference part of the season. Clark Kellogg brought up the word bubble in the post game. I do not see it. They need to win the B1G tourney in my opinion.

    Now maybe I’ll just compare Corum to Estime.

    He got 23 
    He is 3 inches taller and his arms are 4 inches longer
    It always impresses me to see what the skill guys do for strength numbers
