  1. Dude seriously you started this shit. I have a pretty good sense of humor and can really appreciate a good trolling, you are neither humorous nor entertaining. These are just sad pathetic attempts at trolling that frankly is beneath a man of my talents to even respond to. It’s like having a battle of wits with your smartass 10 year old nephew at Thanksgiving and frankly you bore me. Have a nice life.
  2. A) I live in Seymour, brilliant sleuthing there Sherlock since it’s in my bio. B) Being a proud graduate of Seymour High School I can form sentences that communicate my thoughts and ideas with others even when I’m drunk sitting in my mother’s basement. C) I have no clue when Seymour’s last trip to the regional was, you’re obviously more of a fan than I. D) The breakfast rush is about to start you probably need to get off your phone and get the drink station cleaned up. E) With all this knowledge about me I figured you’d be aware that I’m not a boomer.
  3. Not going to lie, I was at EC last year for Youth Football Night, they begin their mullet grooming very young in St Leon, it was truly impressive to watch the flowing locks of those young men as they ran across the field when their names were read.
  4. Can we expect Bowen’s tinted visor and all the uncovered knees in the 2A game to be in the training video next summer?
  5. I never owned a pair of parachute pants or Zubaz, but will admit to a couple of pair of Jams shorts. I can recall when tix hit $20, I thought the world was ending.
  6. I was aware of the merger, a quick perusal of several online articles leaves me feeling like I need a shower. Once again I don’t begrudge the acts getting everything they can, but we’re ALL (acts, venues, and ticket buying public) being held hostage by a monopoly that has been allowed by the FTC. TM and LN have bought, begged, and stolen the competition.
  7. The Baseball Coaches Association submitted a proposal for sectional alignment. Not only were they not invited to participate in the meeting their proposal was given ZERO consideration. It’s not hard to figure out.
  8. I reckon we’ve learned two things: 1)GID was here before DT and will be here after DT. 2)There is not an Internet forum/social media site DT won’t try to hijack in order to satisfy his ego.
  9. P/P’s are in cahoots with the IHSAA, yet another example of the P/P Conspiracy
  10. Two thoughts come to mind: 1) What about Poor Cody Parkhurst 2) What about Rodney
  11. As ticket prices spiral out of control, touring is in many cases the main revenue stream they have. My wife and I were discussing the expense of a stadium show as we were waiting for what seemed like hours trying to get out of the Stones show in Nashville last fall. Side note mad props to Indy on their ability to move people out of large venues. At any rate given the costs that have to be involved, coordinating between multiple agencies and local government, not to mention crew, security, staff, rent, etc. I’m sure the bill to the acts is immense, thus huge ticket prices. And if you’re mega stars, your tickets will command 35K a seat. Hell I paid 400 bucks for my son and I to see Bob Dylan last fall at IU Auditorium…..AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! I don’t begrudge Taylor Swift making a gazillion dollars on a tour, where I struggle with this mess is the grift that happens once the tickets are sold. The system is set up to favor a select few who then game the system to make themselves rich without adding any value to the transaction. I want to see that 12 year old kid get a ticket, be exposed to the art, perhaps it sparks something, perhaps it’s just something to bring a smile and shake your ass, either way that’s what live music is about for me. What ultimately happens is that 12 year old is denied access and for me is the real tragedy.
  12. Ticketmaster is a giant monopoly that grifts money from patrons, venues, and acts, produces nothing, adds little to no value, and are in general a PITA for everyone involved.
  13. Seriously though man, how awesome is it to see kids you coached succeeding in life! One of the joys of coaching in my opinion.
  14. This is an actual plan being discussed in other sports. Football is it’s own animal, and admittedly not as intimately familiar with the Football tournament as I am other sports. I haven’t really given much thought to applying it to a Football tournament. I didn’t say anything about a qualifier, all in.
  15. So rare a person in today’s world, instead of money grubbing ladder climbers looking for a bigger better deal….a guy who does it for all the right reasons.
