That game needs to be protested by the Catholic Church or something. A portal to Hell may open on the 50 yard line when two teams of Red Devils take the field.

On to the NIT semi-finals at Hinkle Fieldhouse. https://www.tribstar.com/sports/second-half-rally-propels-indiana-state-to-nit-semis/article_6a22fa6a-ebd7-11ee-a129-c774182f982b.html Nice that the Sycamores are going to play the entirety of the NIT in Indiana.

Thank you. Waste in government education is an important issue.

And I never stated that you said that. Just asking the question. I'm concerned about all the taxes I pay; local, state, and federal.

So federal tax dollars are being used to build high school turf fields? That is news to me.

Bingo.

It is inevitable.

Like you said, this is inevitable.

Interesting. So who does this affect onsides kicks?

Faith has money to burn, what with it's large size and somewhat militant approach to tithing for its members. Mr. Viars runs that organization with an iron fist, and he wasn't shy several years ago about making sure Faith could use the power of local government to get his hands on that sweet, sweet bond money: https://www.purdueexponent.org/city/article_76f488fe-ad76-543f-8a67-148430583373.html

Mr. Neddenriep from the Indianapolis Star's take: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/03/24/indiana-high-school-football-coaches-dont-get-wish-on-tournament-seeding-ifca-proposal-ihsaa/73085086007/

Forget the NFL draft machinations and the NCAA basketball tournaments, this was the most important story in sports over this weekend: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/23/us/barkley-marathons-jasmin-paris.html If you haven't seen the aforementioned documentary I encourage you to watch it. And congratulations to Mr. Paris on her monumental achievement.

There can be a difference between 'small l' libertarians and 'big L' Libertarians. And I hear much more political rhetoric spewing from the pieholes of democrats and republicans. Maybe try staying at one school for more than 3-4 years. If you are to be believed you have bounced around to probably half a dozen different jobs in all different corners of this state.

Then you are welcome to pay my taxes for me. How many more tax burdens are you willing to take on?

So that really says something about the overall quality of Indiana High School football.

<insert deity here> forbid that teams would have to adapt to differing field conditions.

What about Mr. Maye, Mr. Penix, Mr. Mccarthy, etc.? Also I have heard reports that Mr. Williams is really barely 6 feet tall.

The Least Credible Threat to Move a Sports Team in History: https://slate.com/culture/2024/03/kansas-city-chiefs-news-rumors-stadium-move-hunt.html All true. KC is going nowhere.

One of Mr. Trump's MAGA mouthpieces, Rep. Jim Banks, just echoed this in an editorial in the the Indianapolis Star: https://www.indystar.com/story/opinion/columnists/2024/03/20/biden-should-pursue-section-232-investigation-as-step-to-ev-tariffs/73030097007/ I especially like this fear mongering: Umm, so we are ok with American, Japanese, South Korean, and German car companies easily snooping on American drivers driving data, but not just the Chinese? And here is a newsflash for Mr. Banks; they can and do pull the exact same "reams of personal data" from non-EV's as well.

The success factor has slightly opened that door, now the IHSAA just has to boldly walk through it.

Wow. That's a pretty taxpayer penny. Thank you.
