I am getting the feeling the pressure for schools to start on time AND for football to start on time is VERY high. I am hopeful that we are safely able to do so. I am not 100% confident we will be able to; but I do not think the final decisions will be based on what is the safest approach to starting either, but will be more political and/or financial.

This is the longest stretch in Cubs history they have gone without losing a game. At the same time, the Cardinals and Reds have not won a game yet. The Hawks look better now than they did most of the season. I call it a mercy killing.

Sorry, I should have clarified, if the IHSAA has limited eligibility, the scrimmage does not count toward that. We don't count it in EACS. Edit: So, my curiosity got to me. @sls knows me well enough in that regard lol (He also is FULLY aware of this line in the rule book from a season several years ago now lol)....This is from the by laws on page 11: 54-6 A School may schedule one football Controlled Scrimmage with another IHSAA member School. A football Controlled Scrimmage between IHSAA member Schools shall be permitted on Friday or Saturday, Week 6. A football Controlled Scrimmage does not count as a Practice or as an interschool Contest. A football Controlled Scrimmage may not be scouted by anyone not affiliated with a team participating in the football Controlled Scrimmage

They do not count as part of any suspension as far as having to miss games; but they also cannot count toward the 10 practice rule.

Conscious? perhaps mine is unconscious???? I am aware of who I respond to if something is posted that I disagree with. So, you go by the "do as I say, not as I do" thinking?

I thought you were calling the guys I referred to in my post as drama queens by adding on to my post. lol....my bad

Nope; never said that either. lol you are funny No that marker does not state that; but it would be appropriate to put a new marker or an additional one in that does make mention of that, in my opinion.

Yeah; you should see the names they call each other. It reminds me of the 5th graders I taught for years; crazy, isn't it?

So, the guy who often uses 5th grade level name calling with other members here is telling me how I should behave here.....that is funny. And it appears you are very selective in who you go after as well....Way more.

Well scooter; I started the drama queen claim when you were making the claim I talked about monuments "celebrating" something, then after the tacitly support comment for starters.......Yeah basic grasp....lol So an addition to a marker like this: It was either financially or geographically feasible to put this on that spot.

I missed this with so many other posts on this thread....I watched this on WTHR's website....sure use a lot of dynamite; but no, we cannot use guns. I just hate that WB is actually trying to bring back Looney Tunes. What they did with Animaniacs and Looney Tunes kids was ok......A lot of Animaniacs stuff was hilarious; but leave the originals alone.

Yeah, I am the drama queen...I never use idiotic terms like "tacitly support such treatment of prisoners", "lord it over younger individuals..." , "with virtual impunity". Comical at best....but hey, if it makes you feel better to keep taking the personal jabs; you go right ahead there scooter. Brow beaten....that is funny....did you get dictionary toilet paper for a present recently??? lol

I will add this too....it is unfortunate that Camp Morton could not be preserved in some way for the remains of those soldiers. It is also sad that the soldiers' remains were removed from Greenlawn Cemetery. If that marker stood in either of those spots; I am fine with that. There is but one connection to the marker and Garfield Park where is currently sets.

I agree we should not forget either. I also stated that I am fine with the memorial at Camp Douglas. I even added, there is significance to standing on the spot where those atrocities took place.

Huh???? lol So it IS a federal responsibility to control those police forces???

Get over yourself; you are such a drama queen...lol I never used the word celebrated. And, it's "no matter" lol Yes, by all means you can assume I tacitly support such treatment of POW's.....Geeeeeezuz; so dramatic. Unbelievable. He has not, but I would be fine with that. There is however a marker in Crown Hill Cemetery where the remains are buried; which is also fine, and in my mind appropriate.

As far as non confederacy monuments; it's a different discussion. They are not dedicated to those who committed treason. As with SOOOOO many discussions people have, or try to have with you on here; you just go round and round and round and round and round.....so boring. I have stated my points....don't like them? I don't care. Don't agree with them, fine. Move along.

If the content is the overreaching factor, then you are saying there is no need for the monument itself? You mean content like what can be found in a museum or in books??? As far as the riddle, why would it make a difference if it were union soldiers???? As far as Garfield Park, you are right, and I correct myself; it is not some random place. It was chosen by them because it was a highly visible place. That said, this spot is not related in any way to the monument placed there. If the monument were in the spot where Camp Morton was, fine; no issue with it being there. I do think there is significance to standing in the place where such events actually occurred.

Memorial to those who died at Camp Douglas.....placed where those soldiers were buried. And from Andersonville, GA, a National Historic Site; now part of the memorial dedicated to all American prisoners of war. https://www.nps.gov/ande/learn/index.htm The key is that both these monuments are in the place where they should be; not just some random place, especially a place chosen by the KKK. These are appropriate ways to remember what had happened. As stated, there is a marker to identify where the soldiers from Camp Morton are buried.

Let it go dude.....you made assumptions about what I posted and you were wrong in those assumptions, move on.

Hmmmm, I figured the opposite would be true. I have not seen a 9-11 conspiracy theorist say those things. That is just one example that comes to mind.

You left off two important pieces from that.......You even put those key points in bold print. I included the lines, "Not sure if it's true..." AND "I have yet to verify...". All I stated was that someone from there posted a comment; You took it to a whole new level. "understood"....that is funny.

Seriously; let it go dude. You assumed I quoted the article from NC that it was militia doing the destruction. You were wrong in that assumption. In fact you were so far from the truth; it would take days for you to reach the truth.....as you prove with your continual posts on the matter. The funny part is you keep putting in bold that I qualified my statement. Why is it so difficult to grasp the concept of "Not sure if it's true"? Or even "I have not verified..."?

Just cannot give over the fact that you were wrong here, huh? lol....funny you always retreat to stating what you think a moderator should be doing. My comment was not connected to the IMPD story in any way shape or form. Muda was posting about the abuses of power by the police; I posted a similar story from North Carolina. The comment I added was based on what someone had added from NC; nothing more, nothing less. You are the ONLY one to come to the conclusion you did.

I said NOTHING about the incident that Muda posted......Also, because you apparently DO have issues with reading comprehension, the first words you highlighted are critical to my entire statement. "Not sure if this is true...." Then I also added "I have not verified that..." You are the one who made the stretch that I somehow stated it was in the article, or somehow assumed I meant it was in the article.
