    did Ware leave open the, I can come back still?  Or is it a done deal, got the Agent, leaving college game?  

    Where is Romeo? 

     

    I believe you can catch him on ESPN playing in the G-League. Hopefully he saved enough for the trip to Europe.

    I consider knowing what you don’t know to be a real skill set. That no one at the Star possess, least of which would be Gregg Doyle. Yes Scottsburg has a decent band, but the basketball roots run much deeper.

    saw recently that Charlie Baker is wanting to get the books to 100% outlaw all College Prop betting 

    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!

    Ware is entering the draft. I think this is a horrible idea for him. While he played well the last half of the season, I don't think he is close to being ready.

    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.

    I posted this in the off season topic. 

    Onside kick is only permitted in the 4th quarter. I believe it would revert back to the traditional formations. 

    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.

  7. 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.

    This has all the earmarks of a self-fulfilling prophecy, I fear.

    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.

  9. 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!

    I'm glad I didn't watch.  Had better things to do.

     

    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.

  11. 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. 

  12. 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.

    It’s finally happened. I have lost the ability to communicate effectively to civilians. I can make myself understood only to other officials. 🙁

    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.

    Term Limits.  Get someone who is actually interested in fixing things instead of lining their own pockets.....

    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.
