Yes, I did: Which football team that CG would compete against has won 37 consecutive state titles? Please try to keep up.

That place looks expensive. Too bad the teams that swim there can't win any state titles...................

No. I'm speculating that Center Grove football is due for a fall when Mr. Moore leaves the school or retires.

https://inview.doe.in.gov/schools/1030602505/population Some of these number have to change.

I don't know. Is it sustainable without such a key individual in place? Call me when CG swimming beats Carmel.

But in those "15 minutes" he can probably make more money than he would during his entire football playing career. Worth it?

All a moot point once the CG program crashes and burns soon after Mr. Moore's retirement from coaching.

From Mr. Whitlock: He's not wrong.

Sounds like a coaching Heaven. Since I am such a "neophyte" please tell us all about your high school/university/NFL coaching journey. Please, teach me. How does one miss this "window" exactly?

Figured we would start the 2023 Colts threads with this: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2023/02/14/indianapolis-colts-hire-shane-steichen-as-head-coach/69900665007/ Thoughts?

Calm down TW. We are talking about a middling MAC program here, not an Alabama, USC, or Notre Dame. And I always thought the Ben Davis job was one of the creme dela creme jobs in Indiana high school football? But I guess Mr. Simmons no longer has to concern himself with mundane things like maintaining a teachers' license or educating non-athletes.

Bummer. Sorry to hear it is being wasted as such. But again, government education.................

Everybody should want to attend Carmel High School, right?: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/hamilton-county/carmel/2023/02/13/carmel-high-school-students-tiktok-videos-natatorium-stadium-auditorium-studios-auto-shop/69899563007/ BTW, the middle school at my little 'ole podunk rural school corporation had a working planetarium when I attended it. Seemed pretty cool at the time. I hear it's closed now, the room repurposed for something else.

Jealousy is frequently mistaken for dislike.

King/Queen of the country club sports baby! Carmel girls swimming's 37th straight IHSAA state title is its most-dominant yet: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2023/02/11/indiana-girls-swimming-carmel-sets-new-ihsaa-state-meet-record-alex-shackell-berit-berglund-2023/69876644007/ How can a program like this ever be stopped?

https://reason.com/2023/02/12/across-the-globe-government-health-care-systems-are-failing-us/ It has definitely been shown that socialist health care is a failure, by multiple countries. Yet people out there still continue to push it. Why?

No, I am not. Just anecdotal story after story after story of NFL players who can hardly walk by the time they are 50 years of age. And then there are these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NFL_players_with_chronic_traumatic_encephalopathy

Maine Mom Demands Investigation after School Counselor Secretly Gives Daughter a ‘Chest Binder’: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/maine-mom-demands-investigation-after-school-counselor-secretly-gives-daughter-a-chest-binder/ Your government school system, ladies and gentlemen.

Football: Still a dangerous sport for your long term health prospects.

https://reason.com/2023/02/10/free-speech-group-calls-out-10-censorship-prone-colleges-to-avoid/ Yep, stay far away from these colleges and universities. Does anybody know if there are any colleges or universities in the State of Indiana that require these heinous "DEI Statements"?

Docuents?

No. I thought government high school athletic departments were funded by gate receipts, sponsorship deals (aka. ads in venues), and donations (aka "booster clubs"). Is that no longer the case?
