Yes, it was corporation enrollment, not just grades 9-12.

Not exactly a college football topic I know, but I thought this was interesting for those of us who enjoy watching live sports and what that entails regards the multitude of streaming services that are out there: https://arstechnica.com/culture/2024/02/new-streaming-app-from-fox-disney-wbd-is-about-more-than-sports/ Personally I'm skeptical, but we'll have to wait and see.

The Arni's chain of restaurants started in Lafayette as Pizza King restaurants, and their style of pizza is definitely the same as PK: https://meetyouatarnis.com/our-story/

Many of my relatives who do not live in Indiana love to have a Pizza King pizza when they come and visit.

Instant "cancellation" and virulent calls of racism.

Reportedly 7 million dollars: https://deadspin.com/greg-olsen-tom-brady-fox-sports-nfl-1851215797 Mr. Romo truly is awful in the broadcast booth. I don't know how a consummate pro like Jim Nantz stands him.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10107309-tom-brady-to-replace-greg-olsen-as-foxs-no-1-game-analyst-for-2024-nfl-season A crappy deal for Mr. Olsen, I kind of like him in the broadcast booth. But a big break for Tom, he was struggling to make ends meet there for a bit. *sarcasm*

Portland Requires Homeowners Get Permits To Remove Trees Knocked on Their Homes by Winter Storm: https://reason.com/2024/01/30/portland-requires-homeowners-get-permits-to-remove-trees-knocked-on-their-homes-by-winter-storm/ Complete bullshit. It's clear in Portland home "owners" don't really own anything.

Something special is happening with Indiana State basketball, and Terre Haute is in love. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2024/01/27/indiana-state-basketball-beats-bradley-continues-mvc-surge-under-coach-josh-schertz-robbie-avila/72303003007/ Yeah, it's special until some major program snatches up Josh Schertz. Enjoy it for the short period it lasts.

This particular thread had only existed since 1/23/24 at 10:58am. And I posted my position exactly once in it so far. Not trolling.

Going to watch Indiana's Game: High School Basketball. Nothing like a warm gym on a cold Friday or Saturday night in January.

What valley is being defended by Avon H.S.?

Sorry that you think individual who disagree with you are trolls. Navel gazing must be one of your primary activities.

Yes, I believe Mr. Hick's tone is set toward consolidation. But he also states that such consolidation should come from the people, and not government coercion. A stance I support.

No.

So a woman got pregnant. And water is wet.

What? I've been told on this very forum that this kind of thing is anathema, working with different crews. Blasphemy!

Where did I say such facts keep me up at night? Anyway, I assure you that they do not. And where has Mr. Hicks said anything different?

I'll never vote for a government school board candidate who champions artificial surfaces for football fields, or for most any outdoor extracurricular activity.

Did you read Mr. Hick's piece? Here are some of the unpleasant facts:
