  1. I busted my butt to earn four letters in high school. And slept thur most of the school part to graduate in four years. Fortunately in one of my better decisions, I never purchased a letter jacket. I wish I was that smart with a class ring.
  2. Twitter is a publicly traded company. (NYSE) TWTR. So depending on your investment strategy you may indeed own a piece of Twitter.
  3. I was told a year ago it was in the works at Mitchell. I was told 2-3 year timeline at that time.
  4. Does anyone know moving forward with this new conference format, will there be specific weeks for conference and non-conference games?
  5. With the new HHC schedule, CE now has three non-conference games. Week 2 will be CN. I would assume week 3 moving forward will be an HHC game. The Pick Central game was a one year deal. I know non-conference games will be weeks 1 and 2, not sure on the third.
  6. I am stunned and amazed that CJB hasn't been brought up. Simply amazing the man who brought proper hydration the high school game in Indiana isn't even mentioned in this thread.
  7. Bartholomew County Schools has an awesome program for not only industrial arts, but multiple pathways. You can actually graduate with associate degrees. http://www.bcsc.k12.in.us/domain/1455 My brother's brother in law teaches the building trades class. Aside from houses, they have built multiple school facilities. Press boxes, concession stands/bath rooms at sports venues, students not only get a glimpse of building houses, but they also get hands on in the commercial world. There are nursing programs, cosmetology programs, it's a tremendous program. In my three years of "wood shop" in high school, I literally did not produce a single project. I did however do projects for the teacher, I roofed the dugouts on the baseball diamond, painted the windows for the building trades house, one included building the Dean's son's Pinewood Derby car. Not sure the Dean understood the point of Pinewood Derby, but whatever. My senior year I was in building trades and participate in building a house. I had Mr Thomas all four years, one of the best teachers I ever had.
  8. I had to do some digging to find this thread Saturday, but I found the URL and reported our game last Friday. I now have it bookmarked, I still don't understand why this can't be added to myihsaa.net?
  9. You realize our resident expert on everything took a weekend course at a Holiday Inn and holds/held and insurance license......right?
  10. I have long contended it will take a visionary to transform our current system. Amazon also comes to mind with regards to changing the game with their acquisition of pharma companies and dabbling in insurance. This may not be the answer, but it's a step in the right direction while all the also rans are clamoring for Medi-Care for all.
  11. We had this particular email read to us at a meeting, it was not forwarded. I have asked the chair and no one seems to know anything about the URL we're suppose to fill out if we have a running clock.
  12. Great point, but I'm out of likes for the day, week, month, whatever. We all see the same thing play out on FB every day and we've had this discussion here countless times. "Gun nuts" are accused of wanting to mire the discussion down in minutia. But the point of my post is that words mean things. Yet during these discussions words and phrases get thrown about interchangeably and in most cases ignorantly, in that the people who use the words just don't understand what they mean. To me this is what I find about Francis's "hell yes" statement so offensive. The government is going to forcibly take my legally/lawfully purchased/owned property based on the fact that he doesn't like it. I get it currently there's not a snowball's chance in hell of getting any type of gun bans passed. But at some point, there might be.
  13. Heard some interesting debate regarding the "weapons of war" . I think there could very well be some unintended, or perhaps intended consequences with regards to banning guns that were "designed for the battle field". The Colt M1911 was standard issue firearm for every branch of the military for over 70 years. Their civilian counterparts are virtually identical to the military version, as they are semi-automatic hand guns. With untold millions of them in circulation. The Beretta M9 has been standard military issue since 1986 along with it's civilian variant Model 92 and various variants. Again the civilian counterpart is virtually identical to it's military cousin. And again, untold millions of them in circulation. IO will admit to spending an obscene amount of money on a Wilson Combat Beretta 92G that he absolutely LOVES. the thing is a tack driver. Since around 2014ish the military has adopted a new protocol with regards to hand guns, opting for customizable civilian off the shelf weapons. This is not only a cost savings measure but to customize guns to individuals So my point being, John Browning created the 1911 specifically for Colt to sell to the US Military. The Beretta was an existing design that was adopted by the US Military. So if we go down the rabbit hole of banning all guns military, this opens a huge can of worms for owners of iconic guns such as the 1911 or the Beretta 92. I'm not sure anyone I know who owns guns who doesn't own at least one of these firearms. Forget the AR-15's and AK-47's, what about the rest of these "weapons of war" that have been "designed to kill"?
  14. We had a running clock in this game, so the coach is already in trouble;) The play had 0 impact on the game, but more to my point, this is why film is so valuable to us. We had two of these plays in the game that were not covered, one was worse than the other. This spurred conversation among the crew how do we get this covered. I realize most people think we just meet up before the game and go wing it, but there is a fair amount of preparation that goes into it. Our goal every Friday night is to be the best team on the field, I didn't think we were very sharp Friday night, working hard towards this week. I doubt anyone in the stands knew we were there Friday, but you know as an official when you walk off the field, we just weren't sharp.
  15. Receivers end up close enough together to question who the ball is going to when it's thrown and far enough apart to not see it when you're focus is on one matchup. My scribbling is obviously not to scale, but I think everyone gets the gist.
  16. Dude, the ball was in the air........otherwise it wouldn't have been DPI! My point was I didn't want another dick measuring contest over bumping a potential receiver.
  17. Kinda my thoughts. I was hoping someone had a magic bullet. Not having this discussion on this thread.
  18. One of the biggest issues with Arbiter as I understand it, was Arbiter didn't play well with all scheduling software. EL is a product of one of the scheduling software companies and is suppose to be able to link to the the other scheduling software products. One by-product we're seeing is virtually EVERY contract we've had for the last two years has been in EL, even if they were originally scheduled in Arbiter. We've be paid via EL Pay for 4 of 5 V games we've had. The nice thing about being paid via EL Pay is my savings is growing, but I don't have the walking around money I used to have. Oh who am I kidding, my wife or kids are going to end up with it anyway!
  19. 5 man mechanics, back slips out of the back field and is about 5 yards beyond the LOS. The U has slid up towards the LOS and LB takes a shot at back out of the backfield, just behind the U as he has moved forward. Who's responsible for this call? This is from spread, twins both sides, and single back.
  20. Sign needs to be updated, Indiana now has over 1 million LTCH issued.
