A remarkable career in horse racing. https://www.thoroughbreddailynews.com/hail-to-the-king-hall-of-fame-trainer-d-wayne-lukas-passes-at-89/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLP3d1leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFUOWVCVFRtY2RTSkNmOHpmAR4lmvn-WN-DrVrMZP-ZWhfEb5VpFXZaDXmXwCDKdLaxbfUIDFqI-fvwxPKxVQ_aem_kY_Fx5nBf-vX52JnSvLUAQ

Fairly decent chance Curry walks out of Columbus with two national titles while Michigan is marred in scandal. Michigan is up to what, 9 coaches now implicated by the NCAA....with three already receiving multi-year show-cause bans?

Wish he had been inducted in the Hall first....I guess he at least knew he finally made it. I was privileged to see him play a number of times in person. Years ago, I sat near the A's dugout in Oakland during the Bash Brothers time. Parker was the biggest of the 3...Canseco and McGuire. The guy was a stud and one of the greatest outfield arms of all time.

I could be wrong but I wanna say in last 10 years now… its valpo 3 crown point 3 merrillville 3 Laporte 1??

My understanding is that he was already talking to IU and other Big Ten schools prior to transferring to Columbus North.

This is the rule book definition of a defenseless player. The rules makers don’t want a play which, by its very nature, generates defenseless players. It’s all about risk minimization.

Not sure why you would be getting different rules from officials. It's pretty straightforward. A ball kicked immediately into the ground and then bounces high in the air is a dead ball and a foul for an illegal pop-up kick. There is some judgement in terms what what is high in the air. A good guideline I've heard is well over the head of the player's head. Another guideline is if the ball will not come down before the kicking team gets there, it's a pop-up kick. This allows for the kick that maybe 6-7 feet off the ground but still mostly a line drive and reach the receiving team before the kicking team is a couple yards beyond their free kick line. The intent of the rule is to protect the front line returners who could be looking up to catch the ball while getting blasted by the kicking team.
