Holy Account Necro Batman!

Been a long time since

Sent the Nug a text

a detour for tasty treats
Wagon Master bound

Real Bits of Panther, so you know it's good
Knights swinging shillelaghs
Huskies yackin on a bone

You can't say bomb on a plane
Look momma it's the Debil
Greyhounds are faster than Giants
Bishop Bowl 2k22, Luers
Who picked these.. Durham you're killing me: Mooresville
NJSP
MItchell is the home of Chase Briscoe and if you're not first you're last
Rebels
Valpo

Looks to me like a solution looking for a problem. I don't think these are going to make it more respectful or retain officials. However that doesn't mean they aren't good additions to sportsmanship protocol. I think the mandating of head coaches only being allowed to address officials is a direction we should all head towards. Overall I don't ever have a problem with a coach question an official, as long as its done respectfully and in the correct manner. Then in the end, if the official refuses to side with the challenge, there needs to be a agree to disagree mentality.

Wrestling several years ago instituted protocol which made it much more civil (you still have heated moments, but many fewer public displays and tantrums).

I was thinking man I miss me some Gameday Haiku, but as I sat down... the light bulb illuminated

Who you Crappin'? But it's not Thursday. Friday Fung? Been a minute since we had Friday Fung.That's it, Friday Fung. Theme... Happy Endings

Sit back gents, and let me paint you a picture. It was a cold dark rainy Friday late in the year, circa 2015. Twin Lakes was set to make the long trek southward to Hamilton Heights. A spry and rather daring CoachDale hatches a plan, the equipment truck will make a detour through Greentown to the home of the CFWMer Champ... the one and only SacrificialLamb. Logistics are logged, plans are planned, details detailed. His homeboy hooks him up at his pizza joint, Circle Pizza (shameless plug for my boy), with a venerable smorgasbord of pizza shop deliciousness, with one statement "just make sure you win, I got the bill". The truck pulls into the DawgPound just seconds after the bus. We get a laugh at the hillbillies out front blasting Kid Rock in Daisy Dukes in cold rain, and dancing in their truck beds. We enter the halls, and the staff begins crushing like 2 pies, breadsticks, and several sandwiches. As the kids are coming in and out of the locker room to get taped, "ah that's why CoachDale was so quick to get out ahead of the bus, we wondered why you weren't already here, hey can I have a piece?" 😂 "Heckno Techno! We coaches are maintaining peak performance. Go do your player things... we got bitness to handle."

The game commences in a freezing rain monsoon with like 20mph winds straight out of the north. The only offensive production was headed south towards the scoreboard. In fact I don't think the north half of the field was touched more than a handful of times. We take the wind at our backs in the 4th for obvious reasons. It ends up a sloppy mess and 14-14. We drive down and kick a field goal as the horn goes off to win 17-14, from one of the few times the ball was on the north side of the 50. The kids are jubilant, the parents tunnel us out to the bus, cheerleaders cheer, grown men are hugging each other and jumping up and down, angels sang down through the clouds, the whole nine yards. Little did they know, that a wily CoachDale had half a SuperDeluxe stashed away in the equipment truck for the drive home.

If that ain't a happy ending, I don't know what is.

Fung is winning, Winning is fung.

As part of the CFWM activities, I'm posting a pic of the latest Caddy that was conferred.  Thanks to @Coach Nowlin for taking time out of his schedule to travel across time zones to deliver it.  Also thanks to Coach Meeks for taking time out to create the Caddy and for his support of the Hoosier Conference GID Pick 'em activities.  Hoping for another good year in the CFWM so I can try to catch up with Coach Durham and his legendary four Caddies.

Is that correct picks or points? I feel like there needs to be some serious clarification on said plaque.

By design I got out of FB for a calendar year, I barely even watched Purdue or the Colts until just this last month, for fear of wanting to return to a sideline. Perhaps the addict is over his addiction? Perhaps I can return to the land of GIFs and Obscure Movie Quotes? Foxie doublin' down makes me green with envy.

These parts not count Cass County? Where Mr. Football and Notre Dame player Jack Kiser resides? They are a conference opponent for the Hoosier.

But seriously... no, Cass-out-of-Conference, might as well be Newton County JMHO

😂

just saw that Yanni Karlaftis was offered by Ohio State today

Coach Mattison who was hot and heavy after George has taken job at OSU, so this is not a surprise and my guess is that Yanni will to be a national recruit, he will be a JR next year 

He's allegedly good at the footballing, people talk. Been a long time since anything like that level of offer was around these parts. Realistically I can't think of one. Lots of kids I thought could garner it, but rare air for sure.
