  1. Which I find interesting, since he was acquitted of the crime.
  2. We absolutely cannot be talking about the same guy.
  3. He was on the GID … briefly. It didn’t work out. 😂
  4. That never stopped him before. 🤣😂😅
  5. One of the biggest “Riches to rags” stories of all time.
  6. Coach Koulianos did a great job starting the Hanover Central program, and then returning Highland to competitiveness. This will be a formidable challenge for him.
  7. In fairness, I think we should entertain the possibility that this is simply a generational thing. So much is different now from the “good old days” that I can conceive of the combination of great skill and “now” generation sensitivities being compatible, and not a hindrance. Look at me, all silver lining …
  8. The prevailing sentiment in the Region. Just keep in mind that HC has overmatched quite a few teams in the last few seasons. There are bound to be some sour grapes out there.
  9. About 50% of QBs drafted in the 1st round never amount to much, so I could have just flipped a coin. For every Peyton Manning, there’s a Ryan Leaf.
  10. If I can root for Tom Brady, I can root for a USC guy … if he doesn’t turn out to be a jackass. But the early signs are not encouraging.
  11. The all in/random draw format will die the “Death of a Thousand Cuts.”
  12. I’m uncertain how he’s going to respond to … taking a substantial pay cut. 😂
  13. As I have been saying all along, I see a bunch of red flags popping up.
  14. Perhaps not the quality of the football, but definitely the entitlement mentality 35 yrs. or so of ping pong balls and all-in has fostered. The IHSAA’s waving the white flag because they couldn’t figure out how to please everyone with a qualification format is the single most destructive decision in the history of Indiana high school football.
  15. Perhaps you are unaware that it is a breach of GID protocol to publicize private messages without the sender’s permission.
  16. Yet another inaccuracy. 🤣😂😅
  17. That, also, is totally inaccurate.
  18. Totally inaccurate.
  19. They produce a purple devil?
  20. Heard Louis Riddick say, after watching LSU’s pro day, Daniels should be the #1 pick.
  21. https://theathletic.com/5372615/2024/03/27/ncaa-president-charlie-baker-prop-betting/ NCAA president Charlie Baker wants ban on prop bets in college sports By David Ubben 5h ago NCAA president Charlie Baker wants a ban on prop bets in college sports, he said in a statement released Wednesday. “The NCAA is drawing the line on sports betting to protect student-athletes and to protect the integrity of the game – issues across the country these last several days show there is more work to be done,” Baker said. Prop bets allow fans to bet on how many points or rebounds a basketball player might have, or yards or touchdowns a football player might have, instead of or in conjunction with a game’s outcome or spread. Fans can bet on the outcomes of games but in many of the 38 states where sports betting is legal, prop bets are not allowed in college sports. Baker wants that reach extended to all states. “This week we will be contacting officials across the country in states that allow these bets and ask them to join Ohio, Vermont, Maryland and many others and remove college prop bets from all betting markets,” Baker said. Some players have been subject to individualized harassment if their play resulted in a prop bet going against bettors, regardless of the outcome of the game. Baker has previously explored legislation that would create a “prohibited bettors list” of people who were known to harass players and coaches. Baker, who played basketball at Harvard, has opposed prop bets in college sports since taking over as president last March. “I think prop betting in some respects is one of the parts I worry about the most,” Baker told CBS News in November. On Monday, the NBA also announced that Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter was under investigation by the league for betting irregularities surrounding prop bets that involved Porter. In two separate games, he left the game early with injuries, allowing bettors to cash in on multiple prop bets that made them the most profitable for bettors on that day, according to a media release from DraftKings. Loyola Maryland coach Tavaras Hardy resigned earlier this month after Loyola said it had removed a person from the program after it became aware of a gambling violation. The Associated Press reported that Hardy was not the person removed from the program for the gambling violation. U.S. Integrity, a gambling watchdog group employed by many sports leagues and teams, also flagged unusual betting patterns surrounding a pair of Temple University basketball games earlier this year. That group flagged the activity surrounding Alabama baseball coach Brad Bohannon last year when Bohannon was fired for giving an associate inside information on his lineup that he used to attempt to place bets on Alabama baseball.
  22. I love it when schools break out of their traditional scheduling “rut.”
  23. As I’m sure the Competition Committee did.
  24. How much of the decision-making is based on the feeling that “If I pass up the consensus #1 player in the draft — and he turns into a star someplace else — I am toast.”
