  1. As if Purdue fans are any better, with the huge inferiority complex they have when it comes to the Hoosiers. Case in point, their lewd "tradition" of yelling "F*ck IU" during kickoffs at Purdue home games, regardless of whether they are playing the Hoosiers or not.
  2. https://reason.com/2022/02/11/congress-wants-taxpayers-to-bail-out-the-postal-service/ Just say no to yet another massive taxpayer-funded bailout.
  3. Kokomo's Memorial Gymnasium is just about the perfect place to watch a high school basketball game.
  4. But you said high school football was "won" in SWI? How can schools not even having a football team be considered a victory? I wonder what section of the state has the highest percentage of school that do not play tackle football? My bet is SWI or NWI. There used to be some really small schools up in southern Porter and LaPorte counties, like LaCrosse HS, that didn't play football.
  5. How are Loogootee and Barr-Reeve doing? I don't believe football has "won" there. That and chicken wings I here.
  6. Some GID mods, both past and present, have think skins. Not hyperbolic at all. I like waffles. Do you?
  7. What would TA think of the voluminous amounts of ads a GID user gets presented with on this side if they don't contribute? How is that any better than a true subscription model? And your "site takeover" comment is hyperbole at it's finest.
  8. I can see the logic in that, coming from a Packers fan. Same with a Buffalo fan.
  9. ‘Ridiculous’ Masking Rules for Student Athletes Must End, Coaches and Parents Say https://www.nationalreview.com/news/ridiculous-masking-rules-for-student-athletes-must-end-coaches-and-parents-say/ Forcing basketball players to wear masks is bad enough, but wrestlers as well? Frankly that is inhumane.
  10. Super Bowl parking spots are selling for whopping $6,000 – more money than the game’s cheapest seats: https://www.the-sun.com/sport/4656386/super-bowl-parking-spots-whopping-price/ Oh, life in California.
  11. Seen on the north side of Indianapolis:
  12. https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2022/02/10/david-letterman-ball-state-esports-indycar-team-partnership/6735411001/ e-sports are the future of college athletics. Chirp! Chirp!
  13. I used to have a co-worker, ex-military, who WROTE EVERY SINGLE EMAIL IN ALL CAPS. SOMETIMES EVEN COLORED THE WORDS. Very annoying. They said they learned in that way while serving our country and wasn't going to change.
  14. And there is one right here under the umbrella of the GID: https://gridirondigest.net/forum/24-oob-forum/
  15. Hmm, sounds like the vast majority of posters on the GID, or most any internet message board that allow anonymous access for that matter. Your point?
  16. Agreed. The "Hurricane Scirfes" incident was especially egregious.
  17. https://mises.org/wire/elections-now-decide-who-can-operate-your-car Agreed. Our freedoms are slowly but surely being chipped away.
  18. What Brian Flores’s Lawsuit Means: https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/what-brian-floress-lawsuit-means/ Pretty simple, really.
  19. But both can/could throw a football a country mile. Same effective thing in football as running 4.3 40 yard dash.
  20. I wouldn't know since I don't currently have a facebook account. That said I have the following questions concerning these facebook metrics: 1. What does "people reached" mean? 2. What does "engagements" mean?
  21. I'll leave the details of the implementation to you and the other mathematical braniacs at the IHSAA. I'm the big idea guy here. Meh, that gate was opened a long time ago when open enrollment legislation was instituted. Better for the IHSAA to just throw in the towel on that.
  22. Not "regulation", relegation. Two different words. And the system is 100% divorced from school population. This wikipedia entry explains it nicely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promotion_and_relegation
  23. A true system of promotion and relegation is the correct answer.
  24. Apparently the plight of former Colts HC Jim Caldwell is "Exhibit A" in Mr. Flores lawsuit against the NFL: https://deadspin.com/qb-guru-jim-caldwell-is-exhibit-a-in-brian-flores-lawsu-1848474551 At 67, despite being younger than Bill Belichick, Bruce Arians, and Pete Carroll, some ageist critics persist, which is laughable when you see the respects commands within an NFL locker room. Have they considered his age is an asset? IV. JIM CALDWELL AND THE RISE OF MATTHEW STAFFORD Brian Flores lawsuit does not get into Caldwell’s brilliant work with quarterbacks. But since the NFL has prioritized hiring former QB coaches and Offensive Coordinators, this article will. “I loved playing for him,” said Stafford last year. “I still remember when he was coming in for his visit. I got a chance to sit down and talk with him. And he blew me away. I wasn’t expecting that.” Stafford being “blown away” upon meeting Caldwell is another illustration of the massive respect gap between Caldwell’s former players, and NFL teams in charge of hiring. Then there’s this: Stafford Pass Rating: 83.1 Before Caldwell 93.7 with Caldwell 99.3 Last year with Caldwell (and without Calvin Johnson) Caldwell did not inherit the same quarterback Sean McVay did. Despite flashes of greatness, Stafford’s game had regressed in 2012-2013, and there were legitimate critiques of his fundamentals, footwork, arm motion, and over-reliance on forcing the ball to Calvin Johnson. Caldwell maximized Stafford’s talents by employing more quick throws, no huddles, and using spread offenses which uplifted both Stafford and multiple wide receivers who had breakout seasons (see Golden Tate and Marvin Jones). The Caldwell Offense prioritizes accuracy, discipline and schemes that increase easier completions while decreasing interceptions. Stafford and Manning had the same growth pattern. Interception Average Stafford: 18 to 11 per year after Caldwell Manning: 20 to 12 per year after Caldwell Not only that. Stafford and Manning never had a 65% completion rate in nine combined seasons before Caldwell, but exceeded 65% in 10 of 11 seasons with Caldwell. Do you think a young Justin Fields or Trevor Lawrence could use an elite veteran QB developer to help boost their completions and cut back their interceptions? Stafford would also suddenly become the king of 4th quarter comebacks posting more in only four years with Caldwell (16) than his other eight Lions seasons. Stafford credited Caldwell’s situational intelligence: “He’s a smart offensive coach,” Stafford told the Detroit Free Press in 2017. “He puts our team in the right situations to succeed, and that, in turn, helps me out.” V. JIM CALDWELL ENDURES FOUR YEARS OF RACISM Flores Lawsuit: “In the more than three years since losing the Lions job, Mr. Caldwell has not received any further opportunities as a head coach despite numerous openings and interviewing no fewer than five times for different positions.” The Bears recently interviewed Caldwell, but despite Justin Fields rocky rookie season, they’ve decided to entrust his critical future development to a former defensive coordinator. Caldwell also had some past interviews by teams with top-drafted young QBs, but those teams chose Freddie Kitchens to mold Baker Mayfield, Adam Gase to mold Sam Darnold, and Kliff Kingsbury to win a generational talent like Kyler Murray. He also watched Urban Meyer, Nick Sirianni, and Joe Judge get to develop Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hurts, and Daniel Jones. Now there are reports Josh McCown is the favorite to win the Texans head coaching job despite only coaching his son’s high school team. How humiliating is that? I’m talking about these owners and general managers. But this is how whiteness works in the NFL. Caldwell being wrongly fired by one team is an injustice. Caldwell being ignored by the other 31 teams for four years is blatant NFL racism. It’s actually more than racism, it’s racial grand larceny. When clueless Matt Rhule gets a $60 million contract despite one season of NFL experience, and millions of dollars are rerouted yearly from superior Black coaches to inferior white ones, it’s time to take that money back. And if you can deny millions to Caldwell, you can deny Flores or any other Black coach.
  25. https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/touchdowns-and-the-death-of-expertise/ Yeah, give me the NFL over Congress any day.
