I'm not saying the enforcement of uniform rules is tied to lack of advancement. My biggest problem is waiting for feedback from the IHSAA on what our school scores were and who voted. We will get it in a couple of weeks, when many officials are involved with winter sports, the last football game was 7 weeks ago, you have an idea what schools voted how, and when you try to address scores, it gets lost in everything that has happened in the last 7 weeks. So you start thinking, it would be nice going through a football season without worrying about the politics of playoff assignment. When the first playoff games are awarded, that is when we need our crew info. Bob, I know you mean well, but your thoughts on all of this are based on a highly successful career of football officiating. I know you try to see things at the other end of the seesaw, but other people don't always have empathy for the folk down here.

....but long-term crews that enforce rules that we are told to enforce do not move forward or even get a playoff game. But what gets me is, we cannot find out why or get scores until everything is over, 7 weeks after we need to know. Not a real good model of feedback. I read this, I read of crews wearing jackets during games with the wrong striping, crews letting wrong # of players on multiple plays, and I'm planning on putting to my crew to not apply for a playoff next year, so we can do as we please.

(channeling my inner Hank Voight)....."hhhmmmm".....

The way I remember, they played for over 2 hours because they found out the day before they scored their first gold. Think they get a local band to open sice it was pretty much a free concert. A lot of good music came out of the Champaign/Chicago/Detroit arc. My first concert was KISS in 1976, and I was introduced to Bob Seger music that night, he opened for them.

Saw REO winter of 77/78 for $1.02 courtesy of Louisville WLRS 102 concerts. They were celebrating their first gold record. You can't beat Gary Richrath for blue collar guitar work.

And so, one wonders.....how much do schools get back? Does "operations" (an administrator) get $25.00 to figure out how to give schools 3 cents?

Once again, dear WWFan, you are correct. Providence has beaten the Class A #5 Kentucky team, lost to the #9 Class A KY team on a last second pass, and lost to North Harrison after they got the ball to the 2 yard line in the last minute. Plus the forfeit loss. Makes Chucktown 10-0.

Dang, I suck.....especially considering I have seen 8 of the 16 teams up close and personal.

Silver Creek will grow faster than Charlestown....There is growth 360 around Sellersburg. Also, Greater Clark will shift students from Charlestown to Jeff to keep Jeff fully used.

Leclerc is the man for you. He's long-term good.
