This thread needs locked or eliminated. We have moved on. It has nothing to do with high school football!

Told my wife yesterday, that I had good news and bad news about the coronavirus impact on the market: Good News: I still have enough in my retirement account to consider early retirement. Bad News: I'm retiring alone and she'll have to fend for herself. *posting this from the downstairs couch where I slept last night*

I TOTALLY understand the “well, he is not Hillary” mindset. I do. She was never even an option for me to consider either. But, he is NOT one of us, he has no clue what it means to actually work, live paycheck to paycheck, make ends meet, create a budget, and so many other things. Besides that, he lack of morals is just completely disgusting. I have conservative friends who are die hard Trump fans, now posting on Facebook, images of Mayor Pete and his husband embracing or even kissing. My thought is, do we REALLY want to go down the morality path here? All that said......the f’ing clown show from the Dems is not going to change a thing. It can be comical to watch. I refuse to watch live....I get enough of that kind of nonsense in my classroom every day. 🤣

This is exactly why I never bought into his BS. He is a moron. Want to call him successful? Yeah ok. Where is our national debt now? How much did it go up so far in this term? Yeah, I know he is not responsible. Don’t give me the “what about Hillary? “ BS either. Yes, I am fully aware that all politicians in DC are part of the problem, whether they are Republican or Democrat. As @Muda69refers to them.....the uniparty. The blind support for this clown is really unreal at times. He is not draining the swamp. He does NOT know more than the countless people in every area of government and science that he claims to. and theeeeennnnnnn there is this latest “speech”

You realize there are a finite number of scholarships, right? Allen has one job, and that is to win games for IU. If he thinks expanding his PWO program will help, then he absolutely should do it. He has no obligation whatsoever to “Indiana small college football.”

But it's the money making sports like Basketball and Football keeping the minor sports alive.

Harrell has the Lady Miners as14 point favorites over Frankton in the title game. Several people I talked with before the semi-state game last weekend felt that last week's game between Linton and Triton Central was for the state championship as the northern semi-state wasn't as strong. But as they say, "they still have to play the game(s)". If Linton shows up and plays their game, they should win. That zone defense they have played in the tournament has been "lights out!" What an historic season for them! The scary thing is, there are no seniors on the team. Win or lose on Saturday, I would expect them to be highly ranked going into next season.

As I have state for years, Reitz Bowl is hands down the best HS Football venue in the state of Indiana. I will finally get a chance to work there this fall.

I have read this and haven’t been able to confirm yet but it sounds correct. North Posey Josiah Rickets has passed Pike Central’s Adam Seitz (1943pts) to become the PAC’s all time leading scorer. Josiah currently sits at 1973 and is 68th all time in the state of Indiana.

Students Demand Their School Treat Coronavirus-Themed Party as a ‘Hate Crime’: https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/02/students-demand-their-school-treat-coronavirus-themed-party-as-a-hate-crime/ In response, the school’s Asian American Alliance issued a statement on Instagram, demanding that the university “investigate this illegal student group and related UAlbany students, requiring them to delete this video and to apologize on their Instagram homepage.” “The Office of the President shall inform all UAlbany students to stop racism and disrespectful slogans in any situation, especially coronavirus hate crime against Asian American students and scholars based on groundless suspicion of virus hosts,” the statement continued. “Your precaution will be essential to prevent this crime from reoccurring in New York state.” In its own statement, the college called the party “distasteful and hurtful,” and the Democrat & Chronicle is reporting that it plans to investigate. Now, first of all, I’d have to agree with one thing: The party was absolutely in poor taste, and I say this as someone who has a pretty high tolerance for these sorts of things. I mean, I celebrated my 28th birthday with a Donner Party–themed party — I called it “The Donner Party Party,” and brought rubber severed limbs to the venue — and I’ve still got to say that this was bad. There’s funny, there’s darkly funny, and then there’s contributing to xenophobia while also managing to, at the same time, mock very real victims of a very real, still ongoing crisis. The students involved should be ashamed of themselves, and the students who knew better shouldn’t hesitate to shame them. The thing is, though, that’s really as far as it should — or even can — go. As Adam Steinbaugh of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education stated: Steinbaugh is, of course, correct. All too often, we see people on college campuses spending a lot of effort trying to convince the powers that be that a particular form of speech or expression was not just offensive, but very offensive — as if proving a high level of offensiveness would somehow make them obligated to punish the offender. But the truth is, whenever we are talking about speech or expression, there is no level of offensiveness that could ever cancel out the fact that the First Amendment protects all speech. In other words? These students were being a**holes, but the way in which they were being a**holes is protected by the Constitution. It can be disheartening to see things like this, but no matter how upsetting they are, it still wouldn’t be smart to use them as excuses to weaken our rights. After all, once you allow the government to decide what speech is and is not okay, they have the vehicle that they could eventually use to silence yours — something particularly dangerous considering the fact that our freedom from government retaliation for criticizing our government provides such an important check on its power. In this instance, the students who are upset about the party have every right to feel the way that they do. The instance where they’re wrong, though, is in thinking that they have the right to take away someone’s constitutionally protected speech, no matter how disgusting that speech may be. Thankfully, they, of course, do always have this option: to use their own speech to express their disgust, which in itself discourages others from being disgusting in the future.
