  1. I'm calling BS. In the state of Indiana, the public can only buy fifths or handles of hard liquor. But if you are bringing Makers, we can hang out.
  2. It literally takes NO effort to be smile and say please and thank you. There's a reason why they're working minimum wage jobs if they're not in school
  3. My experience has been it's much easier to use the self serve kiosk. Of course it doesn't make the wait any shorter, but I don't have to deal with people. In several places I've been that have the kiosks, there's only one or two registers, and it's hit or miss whether a human will be manning either of them.
  4. Per John Harrell's site: SECTIONAL 8 SECT REGN SEMI STATE Center Grove 63.98% 35.28% 10.82% 5.56% Franklin Central 25.34% 8.73% 1.47% .48% Columbus North 5.95% 1.11% .10% .02% Columbus East 4.73% .80% .06% .01% SECTIONAL 14 SECT REGN SEMI STATE New Palestine 75.32% 31.04% 27.38% 18.87% Franklin 17.91% 2.27% 1.30% .38% Whiteland 6.58% .75% .40% .11% Seymour .19% .00% .00% .00% SECTIONAL 16 SECT REGN SEMI STATE Floyd Central 68.53% 13.49% .42% .04% Jeffersonville 17.11% 1.12% .01% .00% New Albany 7.21% .30% .00% .00% Bedford North Lawrence 7.15% .34% .00% .00% SECTIONAL 23 SECT REGN SEMI STATE East Central 50.23% 37.28% 29.65% 19.15% Mooresville 42.01% 28.76% 21.45% 12.42% Martinsville 3.39% .99% .36% .07% Greenwood 3.33% .95% .33% .07% Silver Creek .93% .24% .08% .01% South Dearborn .11% .01% .00% .00% Jennings County .00% .00% .00% .00% Madison .00% .00% .00% .00% Seems odd New Pal only has 18.7% chance of winning the state, I thought they had already been crowned.
  5. I’ll save you some grief, mom is right, that’s not the hill you want to die on.
  6. Yes, that's exactly what I've said. I'm done with this thread: Muda, good luck getting public schools closed for good. DT, good luck getting football schools down to the magic number.
  7. I think I made my feelings perfectly clear with my post to Muda, competitive balance is the NFL, where every team is .500+/- and it bores the hell out of me. You seem to think that if we contract football playing schools you're going to achieve some sort of mythical balance. Educational sports always come down to Jimmies and Joes, you either got em or you ain't. I fail to see how eliminating 40-60 football playing schools serves the purpose of "enhancing educational based sports". But if competitive balance is your goal, knock yourself out, but don't expect me to go along for the ride.
  8. I don't pay taxes in Pike County, I don't live in Pike County, I don't really care about Pike County, it's not my monkey, not my circus. I do however trust that those that do know what they're doing better than I do.
  9. In my 37 years, I've seen it invoked one time, oddly enough the first year I officiated, and deservedly so I might add. I have not worked a game for the school since, and I scratch them every year in the tournament.
  10. This subject has been discussed in rules interpretation meetings. Shotgun is typically used for illustrative purposes. The interpretation is it HAS to be initial line charge, and can NOT be delayed.
  11. Depends, if it goes as far as UNR flag it, if not talk to him.
  12. So what? Those schools are accountable to their boards, taxpayers in their respective communities, and the voters.
  13. At what point do you go from being a white guy, to an old white guy? Asking for a friend.
  14. Not really, as I'm sure you recall from all the clinics you've attended and training you've had.
  15. Have you seen/heard their coach? His breakdown of weddings is SPOT ON! I will admit to owning a couple of these things, they do help with sight fishing, but I have to be far away from any other human before I'll wear it. And mine are just solid colors. You really have to wear a hat with them, and they're not the most comfortable thing when it's hot. Plus I HATE wearing hats.
  16. Why is 280 the target? From all I can gather your interests lie in something other than what's best for the young men and women who play the game. How do you from your cushy retirement community in Arizona have any idea what's best for the kids in Pike County? And since you don't do anything for free, who's paying you to continue this crusade of denying high school kids the opportunity to play the great team game?
  17. I believe this is in fact the face shield shown in the picture. I mean it's WSU, what did you expect? He has a hand warmer, this is a fleece lined shield, it makes sense. https://safishing.com/shop/clown-face-face-shield/
