You're on the wrong end of I-65! Having been up in that neck of the woods a few times a year or so ago, you ain't lyin, and I'm sure it hasn't gotten better.

For two years, a bill for national reciprocity was buried in committee in Washington. SMH, you had TWO YEARS R's!

I will throw this out there, and this is something that has changed over the course of my nearly 40 year officiating career. In the beginning of my career, there were those "Bob Knight" types. Constantly yelling and screaming. I've had coaches tell me flat out they were just working the officials trying to get a call later in the game. Seems counter intuitive to me but whatever. Those coaches are few and far between today, at least from my experience. I believe the masses of coaches in the state of Indiana are among some of the most professional people I deal with. Coaches and officials are always going to have conflict, it's the nature of the beast. But for the most part, coaches ask questions, we answer the questions, we either agree or disagree and go on about our business. I just don't see this as being an issue, at least in the games we do. Perhaps we are the anomaly, I don't know, but I still think this is some of the dumbest legislation being proposed. But as is typical with government, they don't understand the problem, much less the answer to the problem.

As if coaches and AD's don't already have enough on their plate, this may be the dumbest idea yet with regards to attracting and retaining officials. https://coachad.com/news/new-jersey-legislator-sensitivity-training-coaches-athletic-directors/

It's always sunny in beautiful southern Indiana! We are exactly halfway between Indy and Louisville, we get both TV and radio stations. I usually prefer to go with the Louisville weather forecasts.

So in other words, use some common sense.......sage advice Muda. I spent the weekend not much of anything, I did manage a really good nap yesterday afternoon. Came in at 81% sleep efficiency.

Seymour has had random testing for several years, any extracurricular or anyone who drives. Funny thing, to be random, my daughter was selected randomly a LOT. I think it had more to do with athletes the “computer” knew would be negative.

I’m not much of a BB fan, but occasionally I’m forced to watch, because my wife is. I watched the first half last night. My comment to my wife was I don’t think it would be too difficult for me to find 12 high school girls around here who mentally and physically tougher than what I saw in the first half from IU. They’re lazy, they don’t play hard, they act like they’re scared to death. Have no idea what the problem is, but I would guess Archie better figure it out soon, my guess is his seat’s getting a little warm.

Good read and spot on commentary in my opinion.

If only someone....anyone had opted to be an adult in this situation. Media is going to find the angle that fits their narrative. There's plenty of blame to go around, I'm not sure anyone has the moral high ground in this situation.

Oldest was the smallest. But intimidated the middle brother. Middle brother is the biggest, but also the biggest pu....He ended up being the smart one and going to college. After a while they figured out, they may be able to beat me, but at some point I would catch them off guard and they would pay dearly. Middle brother needs to thank his lucky stars I wasn't physically strong enough to throw that pitch fork at him, because my intent was literally to kill him. I ended up being the one with the long memory and the bad temper. Both of my brothers were considerably older than me, one is eight years older, middle brother is six years older.

I was the youngest of three, I do.

That's part of it and we leaned to deal with it.

C'mon man, you guys are missing the big picture. No bus trips rides in homeschooling, where the real education happens.

I'm pretty sure it's meant to be funny. My son played in the 4th grade, I knew it wasn't for him, and after his 4th grade season, he knew it wasn't for him. That's fine, I just always wanted both of my kids to find something they were passionate about and chase it. FYI, Lego Mindstorms......nothing cooler.

Bookmark? I use Chrome on my iPad.

We had a year of both back in the early 80's at Seymour. As I recall Guvment was mandatory. You had our option of Econ, Sociology, or Psychology. History was also a year long deal as I recall.

I had a full year, and it was required for graduation. Unfortunately since it was after advanced weights and before lunch, I typically slept through most of it.

I happen to also be personal friends with The Godfather of Roncalli LAX.

Relax Scooter, you had me at slaveowners.

LAX is a bigger deal in the cities it seems. Lysander is an LAX guy, I'm not sure if he's wondered back in since the new opening. Marian University started a women's team in the 16-17 school year.

Comical indeed: William and Mary Harvard Princeton Columbia Yale University of St. Andrews University of Glasgow Clearly a bunch of uneducated fools when compared to your work to license teaching certificate.

Yea....I'm out on the no shave thing. Next thing you'll know you'll be wearing skinny jeans and getting your hair cut high and tight Muda. I've used Dollar Shave Club for close to 10 years. They're an awesome company to do business with. Their Dr. Carver's Shave Butter is the best shaving creme I've ever used, I like their after shave balm as well. Their product is competitively priced, and shows up in my mailbox once a month. Bottom line, I figured out a LONG time ago, Gillette was too damn expensive......plus I HATE the Patriots.

According to the local paper, women's wrestling is starting to be something. Seymour currently has 6 women wrestling. It is my understanding that they only wrestle females. I have been told that other women are competing against their male counterparts.

Four of the five officiate Baseball or Softball. The other guy still coaches Baseball. Stay healthy, hit the clinics, some study time over the summer, and be ready to go the first of August.
