  1. The genie’s outta the bottle was on this deal. As college sports become more pro minor leagues, just plays into the culture. The kind of money being waved around man….and I just don’t see the morality or ethics out there anymore.
  2. Everyone is abundantly clear on that, why do you feel the need to hijack this thread over and over?
  3. As gambling becomes more prevalent, it’s only a matter of time before there’s a big scandal. All the gambling apps advertise on sports tv, as I see it the various sports governing bodies are OK with it, as long as there’s money coming in.
  4. When Indiana was relevant their roster was dominated by Indiana kids. Look at the IU roster today and look at Purdue’s. Schools that have sustained success have rosters full of local kids. Am I saying don’t go to Illinois to get Isaiah Thomas or Eric Anderson, absolutely not, but geez don’t let Calbert Cheany or Kent Benson go someplace else!
  5. The GID is clearly your best avenue for addressing your concerns.
  6. It plays out every year, kids leave before they’re ready, kick around in the G-League for a few years, maybe a year or two in Europe, and then go sell used cars or insurance, best case scenario, we all know where it leads all too often.
  7. I know the trend has been to limit all kicks as much as possible. That being said perhaps I’m naive, but I don’t see onside kicks being overly used in the HS game, and much like a shot clock in BK, I don’t think it has a place in the HS game…..yet.
  8. Is a Major Sports Gambling Scandal Inevitable? Yes. Oddly enough I just shared this with some friends yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/reel/337071562713780?fs=e&s=cl&mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v
  9. I liken this to people wanting a national football tournament, because HS kids need to be playing an NFL length season I guess. The goal of every HS team is to win a state championship. They’ve done that when they won their class, there’s nothing more to play for. The goal has been achieved. Now we’re going to have another six team bracket so a couple of over top idiot dads can have bragging rights? I’m sure you guys will want to seed it as well, so we’d have CG v Tiny School that no one from CG has ever heard of. What the hell would entice Tiny school that no one from CG has ever heard to even want to play this game? It’s stupid.
  10. Anyone know if Coach Wilson moved on or is he still teaching at Madison?
  11. How can it not be? Apparently this is what the American citizens want. I see NO positive outcome from this election. My only hope is whoever loses shuts the f…up and rides off into the sunset….. But we all know this ends in a shitstorm.
  12. I was actually trying to take a nap this afternoon and was forced to watch about the last five minutes. I believe I was awakened to her slamming her hand down on the bed screaming WTF are you thinking? My poor wife!
  13. I actually did watch a little mainly because there wasn’t squat on TV Thursday night and The Swamp People’s snake hunt show came on. Several take aways: Man I don’t think any of the geriatric power brokers that run things have a clue the crap I’m dealing with living my life, much of which has been caused by them to begin with. Biden admonishing the Supremes then stating women are not without electoral power…….Joe holds like several degrees, graduated top in his law class, multiple majors, all the stuff he spews….and apparently he neither understands the separation of powers or the fact the Supremes have lifetime appointments. Biden has all the answers, if congress would just give him the money. Well Mr Biden, much like your “predecessor” that you like to talk about, you had two years with control of all three houses, and you produced exactly the same thing as he did to help the American people, jack shit! Once you realize that both parties exist to: A) Raise money B) Get elected Everything else becomes crystal clear.
  14. I don’t eat fish……I don’t drink water either because fish eff in it.
  15. Uhhhh, I’m not sure that I’m on speaking terms with any of my representation……except my state rep, and he can’t help himself.
  16. You can never go wrong with Miller’s Tavern. There’s finer dining, but I fit much better at Miller’s. Thought my LJ was going to get his ass whipped in there one night by an old woman.
  17. They have had massive facilities upgrades the last several years, not that their facilities were horrible. Athletics have kind of fallen on hard times. Historically Madison has competed well in BB, BA, and wrestling. As I stated athletics have been down more than up the last generation or so. I think the community will support and are hungry for a winner.
  18. I will never in my life see a political money/power consolidation as the Clintons. Can anyone tell me what the hell the Clinton Global Initiative even did aside from make the Clintons rich? A lot like Phillip Morris’s Mission Winnow BS.
  19. I spent an entire 8th grade halftime trying explain to a MS coach why you can’t line both the slot and the end on the LOS and they’re both eligible. He kept telling his slot is always eligible, and I could not make him understand he was neither an end or a back. The struggle is real.
  20. I’ve never been particularly fired up about term limits but it may be the only answer. One thing I haven’t understood thru most of my adult life, congress routinely scores somewhere just below tooth infections and above cancer on the likability scale. Everyone hates congress but continues to send their rep and senators back to Washington. We get the government we deserve, good and hard.
  21. You seem to be under the misguided notion that US politicians have either the balls or the inclination to fix anything.
  22. If it fits the narrative it’s way to wall coverage including the memorials, if not move along nothing to see here. It’s so predictable it’s laughable.
  23. Seymour will be 6A within the next two cycles. And it has nothing to do with actual growth.
  24. @EasyEJay this is the big issue I see for IU. The natives have been clamoring for an “IU guy”, well they got him…….now what? After and endless parade of throw away coaches and poor hires, perhaps we need to look more closely at the people making the hires. IU has been irrelevant big time college sports for years, judging from recent history if you’re an IU fan, I’d get used to it.
