Sadly what appeared to be a promising night for IO saw Mrs IO say IU sucked in a rather pissy tone and said I’m going to bed…….and here I sit opining to you schleps!

A pet peeve of mine, people complaining about the cost of admission for HS sports. Even at 10 bucks for a regional game, I could drive within an hour of my compound in northern Jackson County and for the grand sum of 10 bucks I can be entertained for a couple of hours by a quality athletic event. Think big picture, you’re a wrestling, swimming, tennis, golf, baseball, …….. fan, the same applies. What’s it going to cost you to go to an IU game? Colts, Pacers, Indians, …….? And your admission is going back to the student athletes. Yes I understand at the regional level and beyond the money goes to the IHSAA, c’mon man.

Hopefully Taylor Swift won’t be a fan of any team that may be flagged.

We recently had our (Softball) winter clinic and HOF inductions along with Baseball in Indy. This was a hot topic in several discussions…….you’ll forgive me if I take a wait and see attitude…… As @Coach_K pointed out it’s a long process just to get to the point of making the proposal to the committee. And I know this will come as a shock to some of you, but politics and egos come into play as well. And when it comes to a dick measuring contest, the dude who makes the rules usually wins. Z

Ford’s got to be sweating bullets given their huge investment in the battery plant in Kentucky.

My two cents worth…..go ahead and get some of those 5 stars……but man you gotta beat the bushes and find some of those kids….that know how to compete, that know how to work, that have a chip on their shoulder…..

For reference, heard on the radio today the Marine Corps’ budget for FY23 was 67 billion.

At what point in any of the training you’ve had did they talk about when a good time to be flashing your weapon would be? A simple yes would have sufficed. Look I went to school with Jim, I know him well, and personally I like him, did he intend any ill will towards the students, no. Was it another in an endless line of bad decisions, yes.

It’s an interesting and as I stated it’s either the best pizza or the worst you ever ate. I got one in Knightstown one time and could get two pieces choked down. Rumor has it it’s dependent upon which brother’s line your franchise came from. Plainfield still had the train in there last time I was in there. I ate at another one that had a train as well, but I can’t remember where. Some have been around long enough to remember the GID Publicity Tour back in 05, the Seymour stop was at Pizza Palace, which at that time was no longer using Pizza King products, but makes a similar style pie. TA was there, Paul Condry, they were selling copies of the GID.

Pizza King is truly a Hoosier iconic brand. One must be careful which Pizza King you frequent. It will either be the best pizza you ever ate, or the worst. Depends on which commissary they use. Cagney’s in Shelbyville may be the best Pizza King in the state.

Most importantly he got their qualified immunity taken away.

He’s certainly beatable this year, but given the D’s track record of competitors, he’ll breeze thru again.

The Mrs was in a much better mood last night……

Soccer tends to have the same issues as bat and ball sports, how the ball “scoots” off the turf. I think the infill is slightly different than football to slow it down.

Everyone knows your position, you don’t need to remind us every time someone makes a post in this thread, that’s kinda trolling.

I won’t give anything away, but his existence on the show takes an unexpected turn. I highly recommend finishing it. One of the best series endings ever. I think there is as much understood as what is said.

Vote early and vote often.

I believe every public school board in the state must face voters every four years, so……I’m guessing they don’t really give a shit what you think Muda.

Oddly enough it hasn’t really. Girls roster is dominated by Hispanics, boys not so much. I think our pipeline of German exchange students has helped the boys’ cause though.

AD a former groundskeeper at a somewhat prestigious golf course.

I feel your pain, Seymour has always been a very static enrollment, between 1100-1200 at the HS. Given our current “migration” situation locally, leadership is expecting us 6A by the next count. Unfortunately Hispanics are not big Football participants. Last figures I heard were nearing 40% of the enrollment K-12.

Per some conversations with people in the know, I don’t see Scottsburg replacing their surface anytime in the foreseeable future.

The needed it!

There are kids at the local school who participate in band so they can go to Disney World to participate in band day.

Was Royals taken?
