They both seem pretty violent. Violence in the name of "your" God always seems easier to justify.

While I appreciate the fervor in using that one line to make it seem different, both songs are certain in the correctness of their cause and call upon the backing of religion or religious guidance to vanquish those who stand opposed. Also, while I certainly appreciate the idea that it sounds "good in a song," let's be perfectly honest that the United States' causes are mixed bags. Recall that less than a year after The Battle Hymn of the Republic was written, Lincoln wrote the following to Horace Greeley: I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. So if Lincoln was willing to let slavery stand for the sake of the Union, then who would the Union soldiers be making free with their deaths? National fervor, especially when tied to religion, always seems to be noble when our own and fanatical when someone else's ... hence the fact that I'm able to look at both without getting overly riled about either. I have to be realistic that it's very possible that the same folks who wrote "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." had some who did it holding their nose along with others who did it with a very straight face and saw nothing out of whack with, among other things, their own religious views.

accountability lies within the coaching and admin community If I knew for a fact that a kid I was coaching against had too many quarters my options are: 1) contact my AD with proof via film from Friday night games with plays played and which quarter and film of JV game likewise: AD would then choose to decide to contact the opponent school and IHSAA to file a claim, if founded, IHSAA would on the next executive board minutes list the infraction and penalty of forfeiture, followed by a strict warning to the HC of the infraction team 2) Do nothing , Not my monkey, not my circus (this is the route I take) I personally am the one who is in charge of this for my team/school. I will not "cheat" quarters for 1 simple fact, if that player gets significantly injured in a quarter that I knowingly and willfully played him in, then I would be held liable. Thanks, but no Thanks on that one, I will just map out the quarters each week and stick to that plan, if we end up having to cancel a Freshman game because we run out of players, so be it, but in our area, Freshman teams seem to be a luxury these days.

Good luck to young Mr. Kendrick in this new endeavor.

West Noble, Central Noble and Norwell have GRASS fields

Thank you sir

Doesn't appear that Belmont nor Garrett have turf.

3A-Hammond, Hammond Clark, Hanover Central, River Forest, ALL GRASS I want to say Belmont and Garrett I have seen clips/film of them on TURF at HOME 2A- Andrean, Bowman, Hammond Bishop Noll, Wheeler, Bremen, Dephi, LaVille, Seegar, RENSSELAER CENTRAL: ALL GRASS 1A- Culver Community, Gary Roosevelt, South Central (Union Mills) ALL GRASS If you are still looking: Maybe google search HUDL and school name: Many schools and players have public profiles and you can tell from that

No I think a Islamic religious zealot is equivalent to a Christian religious zealot. Mexico, Central and most of South America are already the US's economic and military (76 bases in Latin America) parking lot. World domination comes in many forms.

My Favorite: Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, the Mother of Dragons, the Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, the Unburnt, the Breaker of Chains, AND the First Drinker of Pumpkin Spice....... Or - Instead of "The Last of the Starks" maybe the episode should have been named "The First of the Starbucks".....

Update 4A- Attucks and Shortridge 3A-Hammond, Hammond Clarke, Hanover Central, River Forest, West Noble, Garrett, Belmont, Norwell, North Montgomery, West Vigo, Greencastle, Manual, Indpls Wash 2A- Andrean, Bowman, Hammond Bishop Noll, Wheeler, Bremen, Dephi, LaVille, Central Noble, Eastside, Fairfield, Prairie Heights, Seegar 1A- Culver Community, Gary Roosevelt, South Central (Union Mills), Fremont, Tindley Of the 277 schools that are accounted for and have their own field.... 44% (122 out of 277 schools) have turf.

Mishawaka marian, John Glenn, Knox, Lakeland, Tippy Valley----grass

Appreciate the help. Dont worry about any repeats.

Scecina usually plays at UIndy when they can. Although I have also seen them play at Tech and Manual.

Last fall a Luers fan sounded confident that Luers would get field turf this year. No other Luers people I've talked to have heard anything about it.

I'm not upset about the Tigers going to Fort Wayne. No disrespect to Homestead and Carroll (and Noblesville), but none of those teams are on the level of Penn. An additional benefit for Warsaw facing those teams is the fact that I don't believe any of them face an offense like Bart Ball all season long. I outlined my alternative sectional groupings in a few posts above. Please feel free to see the answer to your question there. My "argument" was more to the statement of it being a no-brainer the way 6A shaked out, when I believe my scenario had some credibility to it as well. As @US31 states above, Patayto - Patahto 😊

You gave up when you rolled the eyes.
