We all have our own viewpoints as to the way things should be. But enough of this crap...

Indeed. Take it out back and shoot it...

And you didn’t get contracted?

I don’t think the Student Council teaches jet sweeps or safety blitzes, etc.

And your sarcasm detector must be switched to off...

Not in the fall, cross country is not a big draw😉 Good to know.

Fair point. I just happened to go a little off the deep end when my alma mater became involved. Although it’s true SN isn’t winning too many, OK—any games right now, I don’t take kindly to outsiders deciding how to run the program. As I have always maintained, athletic success at SN is cyclical, as it is at any rural school. We can’t continually add 50+ great athletes like the big schools. Games also are a place for community members to come together, and provide many opportunities for student involvement, i. e. bands, cheerleaders, etc. Athletics plays a big part in the fabric of Kentland, Goodland, and Brook—anybody who wants to take that away needs to consider the whole equation.

To put it simply, I have a love of the game. But like so many elements in today’s society, this forum (or at least this topic) has become too political. It’s not up to us to decide who gets to play and with whom.

No, it’s not. Using W-L solely for contraction is insignificant. That's all I meant...

Not my point.

Why penalize a program for a losing streak? Look at Northwestern University. For a few years, the Wildcats didn’t win a single game. But with a change in coaching, they made it to Rose Bowl and are still regarded as pretty good.

The way I see it, no one is forcing these kids to play, they do so on their own volition. Unfortunately, they don’t always get the desired result. That can and will change over time...

I know....

I believe they both my hall of fame—kudos.

Can we insert Ricky Williams into this equation somewhere?

Ask CC, Penn, even the Runnin’ Rebels of South Newton...

Success, over the long term, is very difficult to maintain: remember that...

Shouldn’t NP go independent? Just like Penn, Carmel, Cathedral, and every other school with a great program?

Exactly!!!

No kidding!!! Bad records happen, I get it. But the right athletes and/or coaching staff can change that in no time. W-L is insignificant...

get me to da choppa!!!!

it's all good!

I had to endure Chester Marcol.

Win hard, play hard...
