He was busy doing Angel Skinners while you and Phylis were smoking Marlboros and knocking out some scratchers.

Remember the devices your wore around your neck to make your brain swell?

What IO was saying was I see no real chance of significantly lowering head trauma in this game until we can change physics or somehow change the viscosity of a player’s Cerebrospinal Fluid. The rest of it is just what the local ATC said. I think the real issue with any of this type of tech is the companies themselves are not usually in a position to have the research done, Per Bob’s study posted. Riddel or Schutt may have the resources, but does it really make financial sense for them to fund a study that may not add to the bottom line. I think we have made huge strides in technique changes and at least recognizing there is a problem. I really believe in the near term that’s probably where we need to focus our energy.

On the face of it, our brains are suspended in fluid. When our head is in motion and suddenly stops your brain is still in motion until it hits the side of your skull. You can put all the padding you want over your head, but the fact remains when your head stop’s suddenly, your brain is still going to slam up against your skull. I sent a text to the local trainer and asked if he could provide some data as to their effectiveness. He responded with “they don’t work, if they did we wouldn’t walk on the field without them.”

Awesome does this mean more senseless congressional hearings?

Making people laugh is one of the most difficult things to do. Mr Sexton was able to do that in spades. Thank you sir for your contribution to mankind, rest easy, I for one will miss your genius.

Having to play seven conference games and Seymour (gate) kinda limits their options.

Absolutely would love to see EC, but realistically probably would never happen. With the big/small split in the EIAC gives EC the chance to play their rivals, Roncalli, GCCL team or two, and Harrison. I think EC is upgrading their athletic program across the board, would be a great fit other than geographically. South Dearborn has been talked about, better fit geographically but a bit of downgrade athletically. I don’t see BHSN adding anything of value to the conference, other than a rival for BNL. For the HHC Bloomington would be our Terre Haute. Columbus North would be the logical choice, but it’ll never happen C’mon man, I’m tryna maintain a facade here.

And with regards to the Bulleitt Stadium comment, you’ve seen Seymour more than I have.

Pretty sure I’ve offered to buy the first round on multiple occasions.

Take it to the IFCA man, do whatever you want with it. But the short lived Bridge Bowl series didn’t work out so well.

I’m going to disagree on a couple of points as someone who is heavily involved with “a” high school all star game. I believe they do bring value to the athletes and their families as a nice way experience to end you high school career. I’ve been thru it as a parent, a coach, and now as they doing all the grunt work behind the scenes. I am a firm believer in them and we work very hard to make it a good experience for the players and their families. This has NEVER been about making money. We make enough to cover our expenses, which are sizable, and have enough left over for seed for our winter coaches clinic. Kids are always going opt out for whatever reason and that’s OK, it gives an option to another deserving player. Our game has been around longer than (insert stud name here) and it will be around after they don’t show up. The IFCA will survive this just fine and come back next year with a great game. You had a perfect storm of knuckleheads one year, move on.

I’m pretty sure Cody Parkhurst is at the bottom of this.

You need to trade in your shovel for an excavator.

That must have been before your mea culpa with Coach Bragg.

Did it once, agreed. But it did get a little chippy. We just talked a lot and got thru it.

FC beat a .500 SC team by two scores last year. In 21 another .500 SC team beat FC 26-0. I stand by what I said and no, SC is nothing like Madison.

Possibly? Is their recent success program success or more a good run of athletes? To be honest I pay zero attention to either sport.

No clue what the future holds, I have been told multiple times from multiple administrators they have no interest. They have upgraded their schedule but the bottom line is, it’s a whole other world when your schedule goes from Eastern, Scottsburg, Corydon, etc., to Columbus East, FC, Jeff, Seymour, BNL, etc. Can they compete against FC in their game this year, most likely, but they’re not ready to do it every week.

I thought Northwestern had all the smart kids…..you know all that you’ll beat us today but you’ll work for us tomorrow nonsense.

AefffingMEN!

The problem with the English language is that words mean things.

Get back to work Donnie!

Man if I had a quarter for every elementary/MS stud that never showed up on a Friday night……..

I was in attendance for several games you listed. Good stuff man.
