Happily married for 30+ years now. We just had a fantastic long weekend away from the house, staying at an Inn.

attack an idea not a person not that hard

Hey I've got no problem with Muda. I don't agree with probably 99% of what they guy thinks or says, but he donates to the GID and brings a lot of interesting topics to this place. If there's one thing I've learned in my short time being here, it's just let him have his say and walk away from the keyboard. No need to talk about anyone's wife. We're just here to argue and talk about the game we all love to play, coach, watch, or any combination of those things.

No need to continue, we're all Facebook famous already. Lol

Keep this thread going....he can't resist commenting on Facebook. I will admit I stand corrected, the net profit is enough to buy a burrito and a Coke every Saturday for nearly a fiscal year.

The 6A central Indiana separation is apparent. The thing is though, only 5 schools have ever won a 6A state title (Brownsburg, Ben Davis, Center Grove, Warren Central, and Carmel) and only 9 schools have ever played in the 6A title game (Westfield, CP, FW Carroll, and Penn have all been runner ups in addition to the above listed Champs). I think the transfer rule (by allowing schools like HSE and other HCC schools to change their enrollment policies) COULD achieve what you're asking for here by leveling the playing field. NO, this will NOT help Jeffersonville, Lake Central, Portage, or Perry Meridian but odds are those schools are making choices that are leading them further away from 6A football relevancy. As far as coaching and "recruiting" is concerned I agree with you that the best way to go about it is finding the 8th grade talent and convincing those families to be a part of your community/ school. The ones near or in NWI (Chicago Catholic League powers, Andrean, Valpo, Crown Point, Merrillville) who do that well tend to win much more than those that don't who continue to fall further behind.

Wife’s are off limits unless they’re fire ass hot. STATE LAW! Can we get back to rippin on Dee Tees?

I wonder if people ever use a "message board personality" as a character of sorts, to work through the trials and tribulations of daily life? Maybe their message board personality is cranky so that they are not hard to deal with in real life. I could imagine a scenario where a person might post on a message board to make jokes or tell goofy stories that are only meant for self-amusement. Stuff that if they did it in their daily life would make people think that they might have a screw loose. Interesting to think about

I have posited these important questions to my spouse. Here are her responses: No. Not really. Maybe sentimental value? Drones will probably be around for a long time for recording games from a certain distance. The next big thing will be either be small cameras on the player's helmets and referee's hats or ocular implants with recording capability.

$2.99/month x 20,000 is gonna add up pretty quick

I'm "all in" on school choice. In the past, only the rich and the poor were privy to private school education while the middle class was left behind. Blue collar folks who work their butts off, aren't rich, but make too much to qualify for the voucher program, have the right to take exception with the voucher program. School choice now levels the playing field and gives blue collar parents access to the same educational programs that have been given to the poor. I do agree whole heartedly with "Our collective goal should be to provide the best possible PUBLIC education and funding to our local systems and teachers!"

As I've said a lot before: The dividing line of US24....(obviously more South of that in all actually) has become a trend at the 6A level for 'success' at the Finals. Being a "Northerner" of course I am anxiously waiting for a program to break through and change the current narrative that exists in 6A at the State Finals. I also will NOT cow-tow to the belief that 'school choice' (public tax money) is the answer to FB success in ANY way/shape/fashion/form. It is a federal/state sanctioned "welfare program" extended to P/P institutions IMO. My parents paid their own freight to send ME to parochial schools. Why would I ask I my neighbor to contribute to my wanting a Porsche by taking my/other's public monies from the system to make that happen? My wanting to have a "Porsche" is MY issue, not my neighbors. Our collective goal should be to provide the best possible PUBLIC education and funding to our local systems and teachers! Sadly, I see major issues coming in the ensuing years with the abilities of programs to 'recruit and raid' players on ALL levels of HS sports. The template has been shown with collegiate athletics, and even THEY cannot control the issues that are at play now.

To me school choice (by the definition of: a parent has the right to choose where their child attends school) is and always will be a good thing. It's when bills are presented and passed for the 10% instead of the 90% that things get dicey on this topic, from my seat at least.

Muda can I get your wife's phone number? I need some advice on a few situations.

I've never understood why members here create a huge show/scene about leaving the Forum, then create an even more annoying personality/account when they 'think' they'll sneak back in.

Kurt Tippmann can, but the list is small.

yea but he lost the N/S all star game in July of 2016 as Head Coach. BOOOOOOM. 🙂 🙂 Thats right I am 1-0 against Coach Ralph; can anyone else say that??? Didn't think so!!!! (btw, this is total TIC). (BTW times 2, that monster of OL who just set the school record on Cleans.....MY GOODNESS)

I know he was the fastest coach in Indiana history to 100 wins. I'll have to start looking up the fastest to 150 here soon.

Dude got way too much hate on here and the board was better with his content.

Shocked that man would even have a wife. Poor thing must be miserable.
