Hope Chatard is a victim of home cookin at North Montgomery.  Ultimately, the Trojans will win, but the Chargers will not be intimidated.  50+ pass attempts, some onside kicks, press man coverage, bring 7 every play.  Should be a fun one.  North is the Football version of Loyola Marymount basketball 1988.

Officials are assigned in the tournament. Unless of course the IHSAA is on on the "home cookin" conspiracy. 

ABC News airs footage of the Knob Creek Machine Gun shoot, that they obtained exclusively, and stated it was footage of Kurds being slaughtered in Syria. Just a hint would be all the people sitting in lawn chairs filming the action with their phones. The KCMC was last weekend. I've never been but it's on my bucket list.

Los Angeles (AFP) - Basketball superstar LeBron James was accused of turning a blind eye to Chinese repression on Tuesday after he criticized a Houston Rockets executive for angering China with a "misinformed" tweet supporting protesters in Hong Kong.

James told reporters that Rockets general manager Daryl Morey "wasn't educated" on Hong Kong and should have kept his mouth shut, as the outspoken Lakers forward waded into a charged debate that other high-profile NBA figures have shied away from.

"So many people could have been harmed not only financially but physically, emotionally and spiritually. So just be careful with what we tweet, and we say, and we do," James told reporters when asked for comment in Los Angeles after returning from the NBA's annual China tour.

His remarks drew praise from Chinese social media users, who have savaged Morey for butting into the country's affairs, but the US reaction on Twitter was swift and harsh.

"@KingJames — you're parroting communist propaganda. China is running torture camps and you know it," said Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska, referring to China's reported incarceration of up to one million Muslim Uighurs in prison-like camps.

The backlash in China against Morey's comments has cast a cloud over the NBA's lucrative broadcasting, merchandising and sponsorship interests in the country, where it has legions of fans.

But the NBA also is under pressure from US politicians and media outlets who have urged the league not to buckle under the Chinese criticism.

Following his initial comments to reporters, James -- who has a lucrative lifetime endorsement deal with Nike, which does big business in China -- attempted to clarify his stance with a pair of subsequent tweets.

"Let me clear up the confusion. I do not believe there was any consideration for the consequences and ramifications of (Morey's) tweet. I'm not discussing the substance. Others can talk About that," he wrote.

James's Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets were thrust into the whirlwind when they arrived in China last week for a pair of pre-season exhibition games after Morey had tweeted: "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong."

How long before some of these NBA players are tapped for positions in the State Department?

We're about the enter the first week of the tournament, we have from the first of December until the first of August to deal with seeding the tournament, multipliers, success factor, conference alignment, etc.

IDK Gonzo - But I'd offer to take him fishing with me......

I don’t know man, there’s a VERY select group of people I fish with, and more times than not I’m by myself. I’d just give the dude the fish, I was just going to throw it back anyway.

Anything with Danny McBride is awesome, he was brilliant in Hot Rod! And FWIW, John Goodman has never received his due as a comedic actor. Good to see Cassidy Freeman working again since the plug got pulled on Longmire. I still watch reruns over most of the crap on TV today.

I didn't miss anything. You can control profitability by going to a qualifier/seeding system where it doesn't come down to the roll of the dice (or ping pong ball). That's my point.

Not the context of my OP, but whatever.

Come up with a system, take it to your principal, get on the agenda for the November IIAAA meeting, present it, get the votes and get it on the IHSAA meeting agenda in May. I'm not arguing one way or the other, I don't care.

I'd bet a tenth regular season game generates more revenue for the home side than 1/7th of the revenue they accrue for the entire sectional. 

By week 10, weather is often a factor as well. We had two unbeaten conference rivals Friday night in rain and falling temps. If this game is played in good conditions, it's standing room only. As it was there were plenty of seats available. Sectional splits are always a roll of the dice, who/when/where dictate profitability.

The good news is everyone on your sideline and in your stands thinks you’ve already won the Sectional.

We can all agree on this. Injuries are the very worst part of football.

The broken Humerus at LCC a few weeks back was the most brutal thing I've seen in a while. I'm no doctor, but as soon as I saw it, I was like, yea....that's broke.  Hopefully the young man heals up. From what I understand Humerus fractures can be difficult.

I have vehemently disagreed with Jason Whitlock more times than not over the years, but the dude is spot on here:

Whitlock brings up an interesting point, the woke AF crowd of the NBA is really quick to criticize the US government for their injustices, but is seemingly quiet with regards to the Chinese government. Particularly when DJ Zed was just banned from China for life for liking a South Park tweet. Things that make you go hmmmm. I'll be honest, if you don't like South Park, we just can't be friends.

Looks like this is nothing new according to the NTSB. Good luck with your lawsuit Muda, but I would say this one is on the pilot.

What can pilots do?

• Always tell line personnel your aircraft’s registration number, what type of fuel your aircraft requires, and which tanks to fuel. Then verify that the correct fuel is being provided.

• Ensure that your fuel placards are correct, in the appropriate location, and easy to read. Placards can degrade over time due to environmental exposure. • Be alert to the fact that line personnel may not be aware of the fueling requirements of your specific aircraft since STC modifications may replace a reciprocating engine with a turbine engine. Additionally, if an airport services smaller turbine helicopters, the fuel nozzles may have been modified so that the Jet A fuel dispenser is equipped with an avgas or round jet spout nozzle.

• Although Jet A fuel and avgas have distinct odors, colors, and evaporation properties, remember that a visual check alone may not detect that Jet A fuel and avgas have been mixed. The mixture can appear to be just avgas.

• Many pilots who have had misfueled aircraft have signed fuel receipts showing the wrong fuel was used. Use the receipt as an added safety check in ensuring that your aircraft was fueled with the correct fuel.

I know you don't want to crap on your hometown team and you want to be hopeful that you can win (nothing wrong with that), but this is completely asinine. All you have to do is look at scores in games against common opponents and you'll quickly find out Seymour isn't steamrolling anyone. Didn't realize the National Enquirer was now covering Indiana high school football. This is completely stupid.

I’m pretty sure he’s from Brownstown.

He’s quoting the hometown newspaper trying to be positive for the local team. I don’t think anyone on this board actually believes any of that.
