  1. I was just able to see the latest episode. Amazing where the time goes once school starts with the season in full swing. I like the buildup to the season finale. I have a sick feeling that Tate is Beck’s target.
  2. Officials told our staff that no coaches could be on the field. But watching film this morning of our first opponent, coaches are on the field for both teams. Is it up to the officials whether they allow coaches on the field or not?
  3. I made my comment based on his quote. His concern was about the relationship the bishop in Lafayette had with the Archbishop in Indy. He made a decision based on an assumption without actually talking to the bishop. In fact even the Archbishop in Indy has not said anything about the Catholic schools competing against Brebeuf. As a Catholic myself, the notion that suddenly, Brebeuf is no longer Catholic just because the Archbishop says they cannot call themselves a Catholic school is ridiculous.
  4. Thanks for the explanation. I don’t like the idea of a second chance though. The coach knows what he and his team is doing in a situation like this.
  5. My hope is this......take the TD back, and march off 15 on the offense. In cases where we take a knee, the officials will tell the defense we are taking a knee and to take it easy. In every case, the defense has just stood and watched, with no one ready for a play. To me, it falls into that category of trying to deliberately deceive the defense. And I also think it is a completely classless thing to do.
  6. No fan of the Clintons in any way shape or form, but........
  7. I was thinking more along the lines of......get ready for war with Iran.
  8. https://time.com/5649108/mississippi-ice-raids-no-employers-charged/ Koch Foods plant....hmmmmm, who would have guessed? What are the odds the Koch brothers are arrested?
  9. Something else that all the testing and test prep has done. Along these lines, as part of our day Friday, we drove around the various neighborhoods, apartment complexes, motels/inns, and trailer parks where our students come from. One thing very noticeable late in the morning...there were MAYBE 3 kids that we saw playing outside. https://www.wsj.com/articles/to-really-learn-our-children-need-the-power-of-play-11565262002?fbclid=IwAR1vpVHQr2QtcqXdZFo63IhuQGnr--_oRaIRZPLTzK_5MzOB1FIhAd4usmU
  10. I don't care who gets exposed in all this, and I am sure the details will be sickening, but they need to be brought to light; at least the names of anyone involved. Yeah it sucks he is dead now as it may limit who does get exposed; but the fact is he was a rotten piece of s**t, who had the money and connections to flaunt his perversion. Hopefully, him dying will not hinder anyone getting exposed for the crimes that have been committed.
  11. Beck overplayed his hand in this one. What a great episode. And even Jamie shows some redeeming quality....might even like him after this lol This was a great episode. The previews said there were only three more episodes of Yellowstone left. Is this the final season of it?
  12. The push to send everyone to college results in things becoming laws at the State and local level, and even at the federal level to some extent. The push to increase the importance of standardized testing has lead to more remediation time for students, and less time and money for vocational programs. I rarely point back in time to my day when discussing education, BUUUUUUT, our campus alone at Warren Central, and the Walker Career Center had so many opportunities for students. I know that North Central and the J. Everett Light Career Center had them as well. The Walker Career Center had its own restaurant, daycare, computer lab for programming courses, accounting courses, a metal shop, electrical shop, carpentry, horticulture, plumbing, diesel mechanic, auto mechanic, auto body programs. We also had a radio station, a TV station was developing at that time. The bottom line is that when testing was limited to what it was supposed to be; simply checking student progress, schools could focus on getting college bound kids prepared for college, and getting kids bound for other careers well prepared for those. Republicans can decry the problems, but in this State, they sure did more than their share to create the problems.

  14. Are we REALLY going down the path of comparing mis statements or stupid statements made by Presidents? lol....I sure hope so, this could be fun, even though the current CIC blows away the competition; especially if we get to include twitter. 😂I think he has set the mark so high that no one could ever reach him.
  15. I LOVE everything about this car, except the spoiler. It just seems to not fit, or be out of place. https://www.chron.com/news/us/article/Ford-shows-most-powerful-street-legal-Mustang-14280473.php?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_source=facebook.com here is another link if the facebook one I just posted does not work. https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/15/business/ford-mustang-shelby-gt500/index.html FTA: “The car starts at $73,995 including shipping and a $2,600 gas-guzzler tax. Ford says it hasn't finished fuel economy tests.” I love that line about not finishing the fuel economy tests lol. I stayed away from the 5.0 because of how bad it was, I cannot imagine what this thing will get. Of course, anyone who buys one of these is not even thinking or caring about fuel economy. But damn, just take my money.
  16. Either option is fine with me. If we are getting tax dollars from the same pot, then all should play by the same rules, or stop taking the tax dollars.
  17. Good for this young man for taking a stand. So a school system that receives tax dollars is allowed to discriminate in its hiring and firing processes, is also allowed to discriminate against its students? Who gets in and who stays or goes? https://www.advocate.com/commentary/2019/7/30/i-wont-let-catholic-church-silence-any-more-lgbtq-students?fbclid=IwAR0ms-FHTwY66UtcxBy8cTdUWmijxzOjXogJxW697Fq-jpQEqN2eebyovmM
  18. I was thinking the IHSAA said no a couple years ago now to midnight practices. The reasoning is that it would require players and coaches to meet at a time on a Sunday. Maybe they have backed off of that?
