Our field was the first in the area to get them, so we got them at half price. But, they are LED lights, and cost savings from use is huge compared to the old lights, We were even able to remove a pole from the setup on each side, and it uses fewer bulbs.

This was a year ago. And Ewers left Ohio State at the end of last school year and will play for Texas.....this year......or will be on the roster at least.

For those who feel strongly enough that rumors should be allowed on the site, keep in mind a couple things. 1. These standards were the same standards that Tim Adams, the creator of this site had in place. 2. This is HIGH SCHOOL football, not college or pro football where athletes and coaches are paid very well to do what they do. We are talking about kids, teachers, and parents. Posting rumors of those people puts indivi9duals in a spotlight that they do not necessarily deserve. As far injury rumors, every student has a right to privacy. Posting of possible injuries to specific players without their knowing is a significant violation of their right to privacy. This is not the place to break news. If there is a story or a public post from an injured player or a parent of one, or if there is a news story...ok. Feel free to discuss that here. TA actually limited the discussion on coaching rumors; but mostly from the standpoint of coaching jobs. The change came when a parent saw a post on this site about a possible candidate he thought had interviewed. That coach's current employer was informed of it, and called the coach in to discuss it. A coach should NEVER be put in that position because f what is posted on the site. Again, keep in mind the vast majority of coaches are getting paid pennies per hour for the work they do. There are coaches' families to consider in these spots as well. Other rumors about coaches can create problems as well. I would suggest people look up terms like libel and slander. Again, if there is a news story, a public statement from the coach or district about a topic, post away. Perfect example of this is the story about Hammond Morton. No rumors, and it included a link to the story. But the one that was posted that prompted me posting this was a BIG deal. Not sure how it plays out when the dust settles, but it is important for a story of that magnitude to wait for confirmed sources. Typically, if your post starts with " I heard...." think about it before hitting submit. Hopefully that clarifies things even for those who have read the first post here and wondered what was up. In many cases, like the one that led to me posting the reminder is hidden or deleted before many have seen it. As always, if you have a question feel free to send a message. Now, if you feel so strongly that these standards are wrong, you can let us know that as well, and we can work through a solution, agree to disagree, or take other needed/warranted steps.

2008 at USC the spread was 32.5 points. I am willing to bet that is the highest they have seen. Here is a crazy one though...in 2007, they were dogs at Purdue at +21.5.

Back in the 90's these schools charged a rate for kids from parishes in the deanery, and a higher rate for kids outside the deanery. It was an attempt to limit this type of thing from becoming too wide spread. I am not sure if that is still in place?

If you have a news story or link to an actual story, like in the case of Hammond Morton, it's ok to post. But to just post "I heard....." regardless of what the topic is......is not acceptable on this site.

Not really a sports thing, but too funny to not share.

Did the running clock not start in the first half? It was my understanding that was a change from the original mercy rule.

Google says they are in the Central time zone???

He also missed a few that have been wide open. I agree about Etling.

Folks, please do not post hearsay about specific injuries. If it's published, that is one thing, but don't just post "I heard...." Published includes if the player or parent has posted on social media, or if there is an actual news story. Please include the link. Otherwise, every person has a right to provacy regarding specific injuries. You may see that I edited posts; and that is the reason why. Thanks

You are correct, Indiana is NOT a State that allows teachers to opt out.

I made sure to catch Inside the NFL every week. It was a no frills show and Len and Nick could give insights like no others could. RIP Len

I have several friends here who knew the other student who was from Fort Wayne, who was killed too.....so sad.

One thing to point out, a number of people appear as "guest" when we look at the list of transactions. While I understand and appreciate anonymous contributions, it does make it difficult to add to the Booster group. For most, your user name here does show up, so that is a huge help. But thank you ALL for the contributions.

Heading there now, sorry for the delay.

As far as stances on issues, absolutely. But Pence and Trump are aligned similarly as well; how is that one going? Same with the GA Gov and SOS there. But DeSantis and Trump are not at a point where one is going to do the other ANY favors. Hell, look at the grief Alex Jones got when he flipped to DeSantis from Trump.

OK...I guess I did not pay enough attention to that being the kid who spiked the ball. Thanks and I agree on both counts.

I think there was a bit more than just that. He was ejected. That said, did he get an unsportsmanlike penalty earlier in the game? If it's the gesture itself, I would agree it was not much of one, but it does look like there is an exchange with the defender standing close by. There had to be something said because the official who threw the flag did not seem to be in a very good spot to really see the kid point.

I don't come into these often, Buuuuuut No chance a pardon would come from DeSantis. He and Trump despise each other.

This is great reading. I have been a huge Tomlin fan for years now.

If your team is included, how about adding pregame and post game stops for out of towners to try? Even include menu recommendations.

36 years ago today. I remember this fight well. One of the best rounds I can remember. I was huge Hagler fan then. This fight ended just 5 minutes and 2 seconds later.
