Quite obviously the queen of the EZ Cameras!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Depends, if it goes as far as UNR flag it, if not talk to him.

So what? Those schools are accountable to their boards, taxpayers in their respective communities, and the voters.

Is this the goal of education based sports?

If the slipper fits, by all means, put it on Cinderella!

But your opinion only counts if you're wearing the striped shirt.

At what point do you go from being a white guy, to an old white guy? Asking for a friend.

Not really, as I'm sure you recall from all the clinics you've attended and training you've had.

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.

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?

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/

My guess is this is one of the face shields that are all the rage in fishing right now. I’m don’t see an issue, but there are some out there designs. https://safishing.com/shop/buy-1-get-4-faceshields-fb5/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw0brtBRDOARIsANMDykYOZLgTYaELf4NgHbGGXwEHC0K2BDObFkj2UTwrA8LWYzUcBc0r3a8aAsBUEALw_wcB&ef_id=W9e-xwAAAMdg-Izn:20191022111545:s#configuration

That is correct.

Not sure if any on this thread are old enough to remember, but Washington had a long and storied tradition under Coach Springer. I believe they won two state championships, during his tenure. I remember seeing a SS game at Washington in 84 that may have been one of the coldest games I was ever at. Washington had a history of producing athletes, McGinnis, Downing, Keller, etc., come to mind right of the top of my head. Many of those athletes found their way to Ben Davis when IPS shut Washington down in 1995.

In pregame when the R asks you if you have any unusual plays or anything the officials need to be aware of, that would be a good time to mention this. This clearly makes a mockery of the game in my opinion.

Awesome!

Live ball foul is marked off, the two dead ball fouls offset.

So now Seymour is on the contraction list? We've been down this road before Muda. Athletic budgets by state law have to be self supporting. They can not operate in the red. Yes, capital projects money goes into facilities, but operating the sports has to be self supporting. Football is an expensive sport, and in most cases is a money maker at schools. What do you think funds swimming, cross country, wrestling, baseball, track, etc. not only at the HS level but also NCAA? Football and Basketball are revenue generating sports, and these other sports are not. Once again as I have already pointed out, you and I are not going to see eye to eye on public schools and apparently public schools sports. It's education based sports, we continue to rehash the same material, what do you want from me?
