My post was TIC, incase your flip-off emoji wasn't. I was goofing around.

I notice that your name is Bob. Bob is a typical male name in English speaking countries. Females have been repressed in America to the point that there hasn't been a female president. As a male, you are part of the problem and offend me. Change your name at once! 😄

I'm fine with "Rebels" as long as it has nothing to do with a soldier or the Confederacy. Redskin is too racist for my tastes.

Cass loses a ton from last year, although their coaching staff is very solid.

I purposely planned my annual vacation, for 3 weeks in March, so I could stay home and watch the NCAA tournament. Instead I ended up stuck with a 5th grader who didn't want to do e-learning. I restarted my eBay business selling sports jerseys and T-Shirts and I scratched the sports itch a bit by catching up on two seasons of Battlebots. I also helped my wife in the garden quite a bit.

Caston and Pioneer not being in the same conference would just feel weird, plus Caston is typically at least competitive with Pioneer in other sports. Caston also has a soccer program, which might make them an odd fit in the MWC.

If there weren't vast personal ties attached to his decision, I would agree with you, but I can't fault a man for following his family, especially in the latter parts of his career. Some career opportunities come up only once and a person has to take advantage and not struggle with "what-ifs" for the rest of their life. This gives Coach H the chance to reunite with his Warrior family and gives him a short drive from home. Radtke can now be closer to his family as well. It also beefs up the HNAC into a potential small school powerhouse conference, with Pioneer, LaVille, Knox, Winamac, and North Judson all looking to have some strong teams in the upcoming years. The HNAC is looking to be a slugfest at the top.

The champ club is what I was referring to.

Yes he did, but Coach Barr raised the bar, no pun intended, by adding a weight lifting program using a phone app. It was in the local papers and I liked the idea.

Barr's actual overall record is something like 111-100. He won 5 sectionals and 2 state titles at Chatard.

The problem was that some parents didn't want Barr leading the program from day 1. His hiring cleared by 1 school board vote. His firing was mostly political. Everyone involved with the program knew that the last three years would be tough. This upcoming season was supposed to be bright. I've heard from sources that Barr had made major strides in building the foundation of the program as well and I heard nothing but positive things outside of disgruntled parents whose kids weren't playing enough and etc. Barr was the head coach at Chatard when they won two state titles, 9 years overall. His record is not 57-80, it is much better, but for some reason Harrell's site doesn't list a coach for several of the years that he coached there.

I'm a fan of using later round picks on first or second round talents. Jaylon Smith (2nd round) and Marcus Cannon (5th round) are good examples of players who persevered.

Thank God. Your hatred for Purdue has been well documented in asinine topics such as this. At least you can count on Muda for an upvote.

Karlaftis tied for the team lead with 7.5 sacks, led the team in hurries and TFL, and was named a Freshman All American. Sounds like a stud to me.

Jeff Brohm has George Karlaftis who is a future NFL player and a five star recruit out of high school.

We all should want utopia. It's not possible to be perfect, but why not try to get close? I agree, but only if the resources are used for academics. Otherwise I prefer seeing more students get the opportunity to play a sport.

Schools dropping sports in the name of competitiveness doesn't entertain me very much.

It is a business. I simply believe that it shouldn't be. Every person deserves to be educated to their highest potential and money shouldn't be an obstacle.

2008 regional vs Pioneer, NZ fielded a punt at around midfield and took off toward a sideline. He then ran out of room and headed toward the opposite sideline and used his speed to evade several Panther defenders for a TD.

Education and business don't belong in the same sentence. You and DT have sure fooled me, with your hundreds of combined posts chronicling the potential demise of youth athletic programs, all in the name of your own entertainment.

I imagine that this is DT and Muda when a rural 1A school closes their football program.

The stock market was actually starting to drop before all of the COVID-19 pandemonium, due to the Russian/Saudi oil feud/war. Your claim is false.

When you quoted the constitutional right to public assembly, you are also enabling people to possibly do just that and that is dangerous in our current situation.

So 20 1A teams should contract? Sounds like a bit much.

I've never seen someone want others to fail so much in my life.
