Man you gotta have some fun!

It's the giant W that jumps out at me. And I seldom touch a ball. Since the IHSAA made the Wilson deal, I have maybe seen two non-Wilson balls. And it's been a while since I've seen either of them.

Per the article I posted, what happens when the government entity, in this case the TVA, ignores looming problems with infrastructure until they reach a critical juncture? In the article the looming issues with their coal fired generation and increasing regulation from the EPA regarding coal generation. In the case of our local sewer utility, customers get saddled with sur charges. I just received the business sewer bill today, the sewer bill was $17.71, and the surcharge for our city's lack of preparation was $54.00. Forecasting future needs, dealing with infrastructure maintenance, etc., is where I see private utilities do a lot better job. I would guess the vast majority of government owned utilities are sewer and or water in local municipalities. Is there any infrastructure in the community that's worse maintained? And when either breaks, it's going to be a mess, right off the top of my head they had major flooding in Louisville a couple of years ago when a 4' cast iron main ruptured that was installed in 1892.

What assertion?

Hard not to notice the GST Prime:

Trump wasn't the first president to float the idea of selling it. But once again the government continues to shoot itself in the foot. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/04/goodbye-new-deal-obama-proposes-selling-tva/316380/

Last week we had the first team I’ve seen all year that didn’t use a GST 1003, they used a Wilson GST Prime. The only difference I see in balls is how aged they are. For whatever reason kids today prefer worn balls.

You are correct, I misread the article I was reading.

TVA is a customer owned co-op which generates electricity and sells it to others. Seems to be some debate about selling transmission infrastructure to the private sector.

When I was coaching, I preferred to be in the road. No distractions, got off the bus, warmed up, and played. No time to dick around with parents, boyfriends, classmates. I liked the rigid structure of being in the road.

Sure. https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/publicutility/documents/utilitydivdocs/listofnontelecomutilities.pdf Aside from the obvious, spikes, voltage variances, etc., what about the generation, transmission, and distribution? What about alternative energy sources? Assuming since we're selling at cost, the fed will just print the money to fund research?

What dealings I had with him in our game, I thought he was a nice young man.

I have heard, no idea to the validity, that some teams schools charter planes for playoff games.

Seems to be working well in Venezuela. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/democracy-post/wp/2018/04/10/in-venezuela-a-daily-struggle-for-the-basic-necessities-of-life/

Cute scarf bro.

Kinda 5, I do love a good nap! 9, most definitely, I don't like plans, I like to play it by ear, and heck I may end up wanting to just take a nap.

Hooters has been doing it for years!

Sinaloa Cartel, now where have I heard that name before........hmmmmm..... Oh yea, that’s the same cartel we armed in Fast and Furious in our on going war on drugs. Apparently we didn’t learn anything from arming the Mujahideen.

In the last 100 years, there have been 17 D governors in KY, compared to 6 R’s. There have only been two R’s since 1971. The D’s stronghold on the KY governor’s mansion I assumed was pretty common knowledge, I guess not.

I worked a game in the snow one time.....it's over rated.

I would be curious to know what your students had to say about this.

Worry about the sharks, not the minnows.

I made the mistake of getting hooked into commenting on one of these grainy cell phone vids that really doesn't show the whole story. I will agree what we can see looks obvious, but I have to assume the B and possibly the L had a much better look at it. I tend to take the replay approach, I don't have conclusive evidence to overturn the call. I say the ruling on the field stands.

At the risk of hijacking the thread, I’d love to see the EZ film.

Oddly enough I had this discussion on a high school classmates FB page a while back. She posted a link about stopping hate speech. I argued the 1A protected that speech, in fact 1A's very foundation was to protect speech we don't agree with. I was immediately attacked by a bunch of 50 something The View watching women and labeled every ism/ist in the dictionary. Society ebbs and flows, fortunately life is not lived on social media. But I do love watching our class valedictorian who currently uses a mobility scooter in lieu of his legs due to his obesity frequently posted about throat punching/other physical violence against anyone who doesn't subscribe to his beliefs.
