Stinky, Stink, Stink 1.2.3. Yes I have and the book is also about STC!

Hey Stink...have you tried these Busch Light Apples? I love em!

All of these restriction are just proving social distancing and masks don't work. Where's the "science" behind a maximum of 500 fans in every sized field. Tell me why large football stadiums can't safely support more than 500 fans . In large venues, being outside, several 1000 people could distance far more than the so called safe six feet. And the "experts" wonder why people don't believe their recommendations.

Both.

East game will be streamed via BCSC YouTube page

Check out this weeks issue of Northeast Indiana Game Night, online. Casey O'Boyle is the Chief Editor of this publication. It probably won't be posted until tomorrow, Friday, the 21st. in the afternoon on Facebook, and maybe twitter as well. O'Boyle is also the chief writer for the 'Sideline Swami'.

Franklin County, Brookville, IN, EIAC, is looking for a 1st game.

They are playing Hamilton Heights

WHME reported it was moved to Saturday.

If its not COVID related, something isn't right. The kids deserve a chance to play, because that opportunity may not be there for a whole season.

With whiting cancelling I’m a wheeler fan this game places former hs teammates vs each other from Lowell wheeler 30 river forest 17

Sweet Just saw it on Twitter.

WHME just announced Bremen will play St Joe Saturday at 1pm

I choose all 5. Every day of the week and twice on Sunday. How can you say games or championships aren't important?

My parents didn't install A/C in their house until I went away to college. 🙂 And at ISU most of the dorms didn't have A/C either. After moving off campus the house I and some buddies rented didn't have A/C and the landlord forbid window units (heck I only payed like $150 a month, utilities included. Went down to $100 a month during the summer when ISU and Rose weren't in session). Somehow we all survived unscathed.

No - In Indiana...... In case your too young to know, A/C wasn't a standard fixture in most homes until the 1980's........until then, a fan and the shade was your A/C.... Even in the Mojave Desert.....

Some forum members are terribly disappointed these games are still scheduled. These people wish all schools were closed and cheer for maximum death and misery. They hope some medications fail. They want the economy in turmoil. Any perceived bad news is good news to them. Threads are eagerly started when any cancellation occurs.

yep only gonna get worse fellas!!

At least your taste in music is good.

School Reopenings Linked to Union Influence and Politics, Not Safety https://reason.com/2020/08/19/school-reopenings-linked-to-union-influence-and-politics-not-safety/

Would you rather have a sectional, regional, semi-state, or state championship or a Hoosier conference championship? like one of the kids said, it's a culture to expect to peak and win in the post season. How many 9-1, 10-1, or 11-1 teams would trade that conference championship to hoist a trophy up and play in November? With the addition of LCC to the Hoosier conference I know WL has lost to them and gone on to win Sectional, regional and Semi-state championships. Many times those losses expose weaknesses that get shored up in time to make those playoff runs.

Fifteen days to flatten the curve.

Thankfully we have the best webcast around.

Keep up the good work Coach and thanks for bringing me up to speed on the Temptation situation. My apologies for implying you were withholding information. I just hate to see good content leave the forum.

Good post, you do seem to be the voice of reason sometimes. Except when were talking Dwenger/Valpo..............jk. If Covid doesn't set the season back, Valpo/Dwenger 2020 version could be most anticipated game of the year.............north of Indianapolis anyway.

I LOVE IT Chesterton has a REAL REAL good QB: We typically do summer scrimmages up north, New Prairie, Michigan City, and host of others over the year!! Pioneer will have some dudes who can play for a Chesterton, but the depth and size is what will be hard to overcome, but MAN I love Coach Berry green lighting this game with their AD and saying LETS GO

Wow. Can't wait to see how Pioneer fairs against them!

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/08/cities-sue-netflix-hulu-disney-claim-they-owe-cable-franchise-fees/ “Netflix is clearly not a cable operator” But streaming companies don't have to build physical infrastructure in each city to offer online video, so they aren't deploying their own wires on public rights of way. "I find it extremely unlikely this lawsuit will prevail," Harold Feld, a longtime telecom attorney and senior VP of consumer-advocacy group Public Knowledge, told Ars. "The [federal] Communications Act defines terms such as 'cable system' and 'cable operator' in physical terms." As Feld noted, US law defines a cable system as "a facility, consisting of a set of closed transmission paths and associated signal generation, reception, and control equipment that is designed to provide cable service." Local franchising rules and fees are based on cities' authority to manage their local rights of way. "Netflix is clearly not a cable operator" and is therefore not subject to local franchising rules, Feld said. "Furthermore, because broadband is not considered a cable service, Netflix does not offer video programming 'over a cable system,' which would be required to make it a cable operator." Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+ are Internet-only services. Dish and DirecTV are primarily satellite operators but also offer online access. The cities' lawsuit never mentions the word "satellite" and doesn't fully explain how DirecTV and Dish use the public rights of way. "Defendants DirecTV and Dish have transformed their businesses and delivery methods over the last decade to meet the demands of the marketplace, and subscribers now access their services through facilities located at least in part in a public right of way," the lawsuit said, apparently referring to the newer, online components of the services. Some backstory Historically, satellite services haven't had to pay the franchise fees assessed to cable companies. "For years, cable companies have called franchise fees unfair because competitors who don't need the right of way—such as satellite-TV services or online-video services—don't have to pay cities a dime," The Colorado Sun wrote in a 2019 article. When contacted by Ars today, a spokesperson for DirecTV owner AT&T said that "DirecTV doesn't use public rights of way and isn't covered by the Indiana Video Services Franchise Act." Dish has fought efforts to impose franchise fees on satellite providers, saying on its "Fair TV Tax" website that "Requiring satellite providers to pay a Franchise Fee, or an equivalent tax, is like asking cable and telecom companies to pay for launching satellites into orbit." Dish declined comment today. We also contacted Netflix, Disney, and Hulu, and will update this story with any responses. City franchise revenue in decline Even if Indiana's state court system agrees with the cities, the companies could appeal in federal court and argue that US law preempts local franchise fees on streaming companies. The Federal Communications Commission could also get involved in the legal battle, as it has done in cases involving federal preemption of local rules. We contacted the FCC today and will update this article if we get a response. The lawsuit may have been spurred in part by cities getting less franchise revenue as TV customers switch to online video. "Records maintained by the Valparaiso clerk-treasurer show the Porter County city received $446,000 in video franchise fees last year, $457,000 in 2018, and $476,000 in 2017," The Times of Northwest Indiana wrote last week. Valparaiso city attorney Patrick Lyp told the Times, "Our case helps ensure a competitive marketplace where everyone subject to the fee pays it. The current situation is unfair to cable providers who have been following Indiana law." The cities' lawsuit points to the broad definition of "video service" contained in Indiana's Video Service Franchises Act, which defines video service as "(1) the transmission to subscribers of video programming and other programming service: (A) through facilities located at least in part in a public right of way; and (B) without regard to the technology used to deliver the video programming or other programming service." Netflix and the other defendants should be forced to "acquire the necessary franchises, pay the required fees in the future, and compensate Plaintiffs and all other units of government for unpaid fees for past service," the lawsuit said. A similar lawsuit was filed by the city of Creve Coeur, Missouri, in 2018. Netflix sought dismissal of Creve Coeur's case in federal court, saying that it distributes video programming "exclusively over the public Internet." The case was remanded to the Twenty-First Judicial Circuit of the State of Missouri, where it is still pending. Looks like nothing more than an attempted money grab to make up for flagging franchise fees. Color me shocked they would try this.

Oh, but you insinuating that his post was something less than honest somehow escapes the “gaslighting” standard? Got it.

Breaking News Day 1 of Football. And the 2 pre practice Wagon Masters I just destroyed were in MID SEASON FORM

Again. Most Democrat's don't want to defund the police and the ones that do.. Mean not get rid of all cops..but keep pushing that right wing propaganda...and keep being uneducated about the situation, Republican's are banking on it. Again, their brand of socialism is different than the socialist countries the right wing propaganda machine says... But yes keep being uneducated about the situation...its what the Republican party is banking on.

Elwood/Madison-Grant - Bummer to hear they had to cancel Week 1, hope for their kids sake it is a one week deal...and I hope it is not a depth issue as I've seen reported on Twitter Frankton vs Tri-Central - I've heard the Eagles look solid...hope they bounce back to the glory years. I'll take them by two scores Alex to Eastern Hancock is intriguing - EH beat up on some ho-hum teams last year, but lost to Heritage Christian 2x and Lapel...I'm thinking they have the Tigers number by 2 scores Blackford vs Wes-Del - Give me the Bruins by two scores...hard to defend the ground and pound as 1A school playing up Eastbrook vs Marion - Hope they have the whole playbook in during a short amount of time, Panthers will need it vs the Giants - Marion by 3 scores Mississinewa - Know next to nothing on the Arabians this year, and even less on Mississinewa...I'll go with the team that doesn't play 1A/2A schools...Arabians by 2 scores Oak Hill - Greentown is coming off a solid season...I know they've lost some, but don't feel the Golden Eagles have gained much either. Toss Up...But let's go with the home team Oak Hill by one score

Well Madison-Grant just now canceled for tomorrow night. Unbelievable! Tipton is looking for a game for tomorrow or Saturday night.

Non-Woke Grad Students Need Help https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/non-woke-grad-students-need-help/?utm_source=recirc-desktop&utm_medium=homepage&utm_campaign=right-rail&utm_content=corner&utm_term=second There still are students like that, but the deck is badly stacked against them. Finding a faculty adviser is very difficult. Hankins explains: As for the funding, that’s also a big problem. Foundations that used to assist students with a wide array of interests have lately turned leftist — the Mellon Foundation, for instance. Hankins pleads for more support for the few associations that remain friendly toward grad students of all persuasions and for donors who see the problem to create new institutions to support conservatives. He concludes:
