We need more Renaissance Men like Robert. Hell, it’s a good day when my socks match.

All great memories, keep ‘em coming!

Welcome to the Spin Zone. Your words and thoughts will be twisted and manipulated... Not by me though, I’m a nice guy.

At least the golf courses are open!!!

This is really getting out of control! I know it’s a pandemic and the best course of action is to isolate, I just hope this isn’t our new normal. We’ve gone about a month with no sports, but how long is this going to continue?

As Papa Gipper once said, “Everybody’s gotta be someplace...”

I agree. The modified form of socialism being offered is crazy. My thoughts remain the same about how football can also be a cultural thing.

I know this will come totally out of left field, but I don’t agree with this crazy notion either. Why? Because I am alum of a 1A school (guess which one😉) and I can tell you a few things: Football brings people together. Beyond the players who are learning strategy, and team building skills, it allows fans to get together and mingle. It’s also allows small businesses to get their name out. Ancillary services. Band, cheer squads, and athletic trainers all have the opportunity to hone their craft before taking it to the next level. Supporter of other sports. Football as well as basketball are the primary breadwinners in the IHS double A. Therefore the money they take in through gate receipts, etc. will help fund the smaller sports such as wresting which ultimately FB players do participate in.

With that, the negative comments will be geared to achieve indignation. Although it’s best to take the high road, our natural instinct is to respond with another negative comment, thus triggering a battle. There really is no room for that, aren’t we all on the same side? It has evolved into us against us...

Well said, I’ll do my best.

LC—Lake Central, Lawrence Central, or Lafayette Central? OK, I made the last one up...

Got it.

I never thought you were doing things you shouldn’t. Nothing wrong with individual conditioning.

Kentland was a major part of the consolidation into South Newton you know—talk about cyclical!!! I rest my case.

I’m glad you’re getting something done. Before my office closed, my train would roll by Mt. Carmel’s practice field in Chicago as I observed an early morning practice. I can’t help but wonder what they’re doing now bring that Mayor Lightfoot blew a gasket over distancing.

You’re only seeing your agenda, please see others.

Although I don’t like the idea, co-op teams do have tough obstacles: how can a team function as a cohesive unit if they don’t even attend the same school?There’s also the issue of travel time to get to the practice field, and I won’t even start on the time zone thing. It’s very real for some people. Basically, I think co-ops are a bad idea for high school athletics. Not that there hasn’t been passionate and in-depth thinking for, I just think we need to shift gears, especially now...

Wait. What? You mean small school can actually be successful?

If that happens, it happens. Until then, back off.

I agree wholeheartedly! Maybe I just found a clue...

I’ve thought if you guys often, how are you holding out? Congrats on the girls BB title! Framework/farm work, you know the deal although my spell checker doesn’t.
