Coach Nowlin

Condolences out to Perry Central and those who knew HOF coach Mike Spencer. Coach Spencer nephew played for Rensselaer back in late 2000s. https://ifca-hof.org/inductee/spencer-mike/

I think UCONN had a game plan others tried to do do the last 2 years, let Edey have his and shut the rest down, probably for Purdue was size of UCONN guards and the fact they stayed disciplined on protecting the 3 point line at all costs, so Purdue tried and did get in the lane, just couldn't keep up with those 2's and the tough 2s that UCONN made them shoot. They had the more talented team and showed against everyone in the tournament.

final score: UCONN 75, Purdue 60 Pretty Impressive @Muda69 Great effort/ year for my Boilers, no shame in finishing 2nd in that tournament.

hope not, they are pretty freaking good, that for sure Vegas has it arourn 6 to 6. 5 for UCONN

playing for a Natty in case you are wondering

whats the winner get 😃 I predict a tie!!!! It would be classic Chicago Bears and still an option on the results table !!

For me, the sources of the information coming out matter. For instance, would I tend take what Colin Cowherd or Skip Bayless opinion on CW or would I think former College/NFL greats who are still involved in the business opiniion when it comes to leadership, player performance, attitude etc? And I believe when you say your watching of college football and that is fine Once again, watching the headlines last 2 weeks get out of control during the time period of Combine to Draft where the majority of these "hit" pieces generates from is what caused me to comment in this thread in the first point with a counterpoint opposite of yours and others opinion on CW, the player, person, leader. You know, fact was, I put COKE first, because yes, its clear cut, however, since it was tenuous discussion, felt the need to put a poor leader of beverages, a beverage with no skill, leadership, and other negative traits out there for that reaction. Felt it was needed. No argument, Coca-Cola over all I agree with this: Reason: unlike every other Chicago Bears rookie QB, they actually will have surrounded him with actual bonafide NFL offensive players to throw and hand the ball off to along with a skilled, productive defense. Those are the reasons why I believe they can make the playoffs with him as a ROOKIE QB. Won't be easy with the division on the upswing, and health and OL development is still paramount, but the bears organization as a whole is in far better shape with roster, talent, cap space and skill then previous 10 years.

@Muda69 YOU HAVE TO BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS: 80 team super league: however 10 team rotated PROMOTION/REGULATED!!! right up your alley https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/college-football-super-league-college-sports-tomorrow-relegation-70-teams

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2024-nfl-draft-what-we-learned-from-caleb-williams-pro-day-as-potential-no-1-pick-throws-for-nfl-teams/ Did any other QB. have their pro day aired live on NFL network? I honestly do not know but wanted to post what some of t shirt throws looked like and general positive reports (I mean, there will never be a negative pro day highlighted and shown imo)

for me, the question is not something that can be broadly answered For Maconaquah, to Frankfort, to Carmel, to Rensselaer and all in between all have different needs Public Education is not a 1 size fits all The issues that could face Carmel are not the same issues that face East Chicago nor Castle. (reference, picked a north school, middle state school, southern tip school) So Muda, question cannot be answered by me, because from your home in the county/city/town you reside could be enough, for you, but for your neighbor it may not just like it may not be enough for another public school district elsewhere

Also, I shall note, if this conversation was being had with Temp, Bash, Bob, and myself with those tasty Pepsi's that can be found coming out of a tasty tap then you would find that the conversation would be your typical sport chat amongst pals Dudes talking sports if you will. Assumptions of tones in message boards continue to misconstrue messages being delivered.

Our staff has had a relationship with a successful coach in Cali, Coach Murphy, He just stepped down at Clayton Valley Charter, anyways, he had a black turf field told me when I asked about it that it was actually field tested to be less hot to play on then other color fields/grass fields for what its worth. in short, NO, your local property tax is very much no longer close to being anything significant for funding since 2009 https://www.chalkbeat.org/indiana/2015/1/4/21101788/the-basics-of-school-funding-in-indiana-difficulty-defining-fairness/ A move away from property taxes Since the 1970s, Indiana has relied less on local property taxes to fund schools than neighboring states, with the state funding a larger share through sales and income taxes than many states that base their systems primarily on local property taxes. In the 2000s, Indiana’s state share of general fund dollars to pay for day-to-day operations of schools — such as salaries for teachers and other school workers, equipment like computers and supplies needed to run the schools — had grown from about two-thirds to roughly 85 percent. Just 15 percent of local general funds for schools were paid by property taxes before 2009. But a change in the law took local property taxes out of the equation entirely when it came to funding the day-to-day expenses of schools. Some local property taxes were still collected to help schools pay for transportation or buildings. Schools could still ask voters to raise local property taxes for extra operating money, but most haven’t asked. As part of the shift to state funding of school operations, Indiana increased the state sales tax to 7 percent from 6 percent and touted the new system as tax relief for homeowners. But when a recession hit at the same time, causing sales and income tax revenue to drop, the state budget was soon stressed, and schools were among the services that saw funding cut. As of 2012, U.S. Census data showed that just two states had a greater percentage of school spending coming from the state rather than local, federal or other sources than Indiana’s 51 percent. Only five states relied less on local taxes to fund schools. But Indiana also spent less per student on education than the U.S. average, ranking 28th nationally, according to the Census. Of the four states that border Indiana, only Kentucky spent less per student. Lawmakers cap property taxes In 2010, school funding was complicated some more by an effort to make property taxes, which sometimes shifted up or down unexpectedly for homeowners when their home values changed, more stable. The legislature’s solution was tax caps: homeowners now can’t pay more than one percent of the total assessed value of their property in property taxes. So if a home is assessed at 150,000, the residents won’t pay more than $1,500 in property taxes. But while this stabilized tax bills, it made funding for some school services that still are paid by property taxes, such as transportation, less stable. Before the change, the tax rate rose when the assessed value of a home dropped, so schools and local governments could still collect the same amount of money. But with the tax caps, the tax rate is now fixed at one percent. The limit means that revenue might fall behind what schools and government need to support the services they pay for. For example, some districts are using property taxes to pay down debt for school buildings they’ve constructed. For those districts, debt service might eat up a greater portion of the property taxes collected, leaving less to pay for other services, such as busing children to school. When a district in that situation hits the maximum amount it can collect in property taxes, money can run short as expenses still grow. Costs go up, for example, to buy new buses, repair older ones and pay bus drivers. When that happens, schools face difficult choices. They can pay for busing by making cuts in other areas, or they can ask voters to approve an additional local property tax hike through a referendum. As a last resort, some districts have cut back transportation services, reducing or even seeking to eliminate buses to bring children to school.

Negative statement on why you feel CW is not going to be successful Clear cut statement that you do believe in his leadership ability, Yes you didn't call him a loser, correct, you have questioned his leadership citing only thing as crying on national tv after a loss. See above, you inferred this, YES< you win, sir, you did not type "POOR LEADER". you implied a through and through "did not capture essence of leadership for me". Your opinion, however, that is a negative statment clearly implying that moment was not up to snuff for you and you inferred questioning his leadership ability. "stuck a nerve comments". I am too emotional comment. Lets address this: So. I come on this thread about Bears, I read from @Bash Riprockand @temptation commentary on why you both think and have poked at CW as a football player with his poor performance in 1 game, (I showed a thread of other GREAT QBs having a bad college game to debunk that narrative regurgitated from the national clicks and now I have provided a throughal counter point questioning his "crying' his leadership from others who are far more connected to this guy, college and football overall than any of us here. Because I have done that, I am now obsessed with your opinion because I have a different one and have shown with other sources why your opinion could be rooted in falsehood from a negative national media narrative. Exactly why I posted the Herbie clip from McAfee from a few days ago, sums exactly what happens for guys like... Caleb Williams. and wait for it..a guy like Zach Edey..... and of course a gal like Caitlin Clark Those 3 players are the BEST players in their respective sports, both you can argue have been the BEST for 2 consecutive years. Because of that, they are targets for negative clickbait gotta fill space and make money articles and narratives to discredit they work they have done on the field so that content is available to make money. I feel like yourself and temptation have followed those narratives, which I used the world Lazy.. that is my opinion on it. I view this threw a different lens you have and that is fine too, but to dismiss all the info I have provided as me somehow rage posting in this scenario is just not accurate.

Thanks Herbie. Another voice of reason as it relates to Internet narratives
