The Shut Up And Take My Money Thread
Irishman replied to Muda69's topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
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. -
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

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?

Yellowstone on the Paramount Channel
Irishman replied to a topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
I did not see Jamie taking such an active role in this. Great episode again, and the real enemies to Yellowstone are revealed. I cannot wait to see the meeting between, John, Jenkins and the tribe. -
Simply getting rid of the success factor gets back to an even greater flaw; classification based solely on enrollment, with no consideration given to the number of students in a given building who cannot participate due some physical and/or mental limitations. The use of the West Noble basketball team is simply a good example of why the original proposal submitted by the IFCA of using a four year count makes much more sense than two years.

Pennsylvania bill to separate Public - Private
Irishman replied to slice60's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
There is only one thing I would change in regard to this post. New Pal is a solid example of what extra time, effort, energy, and focus can do for a program. But if we compare enrollments of non public schools and the areas they draw a decent portion of their athletes from; urban schools, then the contrast is much more drastic. Bishop Dwenger has a great program. I look forward to seeing what they can do in 5A. A snapshot of Dwenger’s sectional the last several years paints a more clear picture of the notion that attendance as the only factor to determine classes is highly flawed. I don’t know the numbers at other schools, but at NH, 10% of our population is special ed. A majority of them are not able to compete in athletics, much less be in Core 40 classes. Some of those students, based on age alone, would not be eligible if they could participate. The impact of that population at most non public schools is minimal at best, or just non existent. All that said, I am not a fan of separating schools. I do like the success factor, but would prefer the original proposal from the IFCA using 4 years instead of 2. -
Yellowstone on the Paramount Channel
Irishman replied to a topic in Gridiron Out of Bounds's Out of Bound Forum
Jamie is a character I dislike more and more as the show goes on. I guess that means the actor is doing a fantastic job, right? lol. So who dies (disappears) Jamie, or the reporter? Based on the previews, it appears a new coalition between Jenkins and Dutton is forming? Does Dutton explain how the tribe has screwed him over? On a side note, Dish had the episode number wrong. This was episode 5 last night, right? Dish has it as episode 6. -

So much for his campaign promise to eliminate the debt in 8 years. -

Luers to remain in 3A?
Irishman replied to LuersLurker's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
5A was planned that way. 1A through 4A are maxed out at 64 teams each. So the bumping is necessary. 6A is set at 32, and will not change. 5A started at 32 as well, but the intent was to have additional teams added once the smaller classes were set. -
Racks is ok for me. My issue is they keep raising prices and the service is lacking most of the time. I did get ticked too when they started charging 4% more for using a card to pay and not cash. I also know that VooDoo is going to close down. The OTB part of it is going to expand, and allow for gaming machines.
