I guess I’ll never know. I’m not actively boycotting, I’m not getting in anyone’s grill about eating B&J, make yourself happy. I just don’t have to support such nonsense. Has the US done some stuff we shouldn’t be proud of, absolutely, does that negate all of the good? I guess that’s for every individual to decide, I just have a real issue with people bashing the US, democracy, and capitalism while all the while enjoying the fruits of such institutions. WTF has B&J done for native Americans?

Ehhh, I’m not that big of a PB fan.

I can confirm via a coach Castle is getting turf for 2024.

IO loves him some ice cream, but alas will never know what B&J’s tastes like. The founders were lunatics and apparently whoever owns them now shop at the same gene pool.

That team was LOADED! Having seen both teams, I’m not sure it’s a fair comparison. They game is just played so differently today. That being said, I’m sure had this team been in the current era, I think they would have been just fine.

Congrats Coach, if I could convince my wife I’d have been gone three years ago. Good for you man!

So the $64,000 question has got to be, why do we have a race box to check? It seems to me that by now the gender box is already irrelevant.

No clue, I haven’t been involved for about 10 years. MS level teams are getting better after several rough years.

You obviously aren’t familiar with Bartholomew County Schools.

It has been rumored off and on for years. At this stage they’d be looking at building an entire new school. 50 years of tradition now as well.

His gaffs used to be funny, anymore they’re just sad.

Tomorrow’s the 10th already Dude.

Wow can’t believe it’s been 13 years.

Where is Andy Mohr when you need him.

I should have mentioned I want every kid to have the opportunity to play this great game. But a fate even worse in my opinion is starting it prematurely and failing. Get your ducks in a row build a youth program and I firmly believe patience is a virtue.

Scottsburg really struggled early on. A good class came thru and Coach Mullins seems to be building on that excitement. I question the want at many of the schools being mentioned. Pekin had a superintendent from Brownstown that really pushed the issue and I have to wonder if not prematurely. Scott County, eastern Washington County, small Clark County schools seem to take their basketball pretty serious. I suspect it will be an uphill battle for a program to gain any traction. A lot of it is having administrators on board, I’m not sure that’s the case at many of these smaller schools. Football is expensive and labor intensive to get started. Ask Trinity Lutheran they’re doing it now for the third time.

Makes no difference to me I was just curious. In Football we frequent hear the justification for rule changes is to bring our game more in line with NCAA rules, why don’t we just okay by NCAA rules then?

Curious the committee’s rationale for making this change?

I met the AD at Clarksville this spring and got to talk to him a little bit. I like him, I think he has a plan and some support. Best of luck to the Generals.

Also of note most scheduling software just automatically fills in the corresponding date for next year if you don’t manually intervene. Seymour softball still plays Clarksville on a Saturday at 2:00 which is a really odd time for a HS SB game. The reason why is in 2011 I had to move the game back because I had like five starters taking the ACT that morning. So 12 years later it’s still the same.

My guess is conference games are long term contracts, thus in an AD’s mind set in stone. The only real changes you ever see are with conference changes. Why does CN/CE always play week 2? You know what finding football opponents is like, and jiving up who needs a home game, and the myriad of other factors. The MSC isn’t the same way?

I think the fastest game we ever worked was a first round sectional game Shelbyville at South Dearborn. SD scored on the last play of the first half and missed the PAT. Game ended 6-0. We had beer sitting in front of us at the restaurant at 8:45 with a 7:00 start.

Seymour played them in the sectional championship in 99, one of the tougher games they had in the tournament until they got to Cathedral of course. I bet Chris Rose still has nightmares about Otis Shannon lol.

He had a handful of solid seasons when he was there. I have a picture out of the CJ of him ripping me during a TO at Charlestown in a tournament game. Let’s just say we’ve never exchanged Christmas cards. On the bright side of things not sure he has quite the hole to dig out of that he had in Shelbyville.

Corydon is an interesting school. They have a tradition of producing some athletes. Their track team historically ranks among the best in the MSC. They also were relatively flush with cash as opposed to their county rival. Boat money seems to have leveled the playing field a little bit. I just don’t see SC or Charlestown moving to a big school conference in the near term.
