Yes it is. Basically, in the cities/suburbs, coaches start assembling kids when they're young and inviting them to play as a group all the way through. They all end up at the same HS. I know a school that got in 3 pitchers in 2 years and won state with them. Their #2 went to pitch in the Big Ten.

My opinion is that a school's enrollment should count the non free/reduced kids or a fraction of the free/reduced count. As you mentioned before, 40% is a joke. Don't get me started on pitch counts. I long for the days when I could have a roster in the low 20's and still play 40 games. With a...

The BEDS used to be even worse when the special ed kids didn't count as a full student because of the AEA services they received. When the count was taken for BEDS, if a special ed referral had been written but not resolved, that student didn't count as a full student either. There is a program...

Absolutely. It's never going to happen with those in charge, so I'll take anything at this point.

I can only imagine what their call-in show sounded like.

2 or 3 years ago (can't remember which), 31 of the 32 teams in the state baseball tournament were in the top half of the free/reduced in the state. It's more than just privates/public, it's about SES. The system needs to be overhauled. Of course, which schools are going to buy more...

I don't blame them either. The difference is that they don't have the low SES kids, which eliminates 42% (state average) of what a public school would have. 24% of low SES kids participate in athletics and 32% of those participate in more than 1 sport. If 2 schools have 150 kids 9-11, privates...

Correct. I got my games combined. Fixed it.

I think CEO is the best way to describe his current roll. I read that he's been spending more time with the offensive line than the past several years, which I'm sure he's enjoying.

I was thinking of which realistic game our fans would travel to and I thought that Vegas on NY Eve would be a pretty fun on to go to. The game...meh

FWIW, I have a friend that is close to a MAJOR donor. He said that KF is enjoying his job as much as ever. With the comfort level he has with his 3 coordinators and a great recruiting staff, there is less pressure on him from those aspects as ever. I don't think he's been very involved with...

I've been to this game 3 times. They had the exact same feel. Ugh... MSU ‘25 MSU ‘23 Ball State ‘14 Start of 2nd quarter Ahead 7-0 3-3 0-0 Halftime Ahead 7-3 Ahead 10-9 Down 7-3 Start of 4th quarter Down 17-7 Down 16-13 Down 13-3 Key play Punt return to MSU 42 with 2:37...

This is the correct answer.

Do it. Best turkey I've ever eaten. Couldn't believe how good it was.

What in the name of Colten Rastetter is wrong with Dakin?

Welp, private schools went 2-1 yesterday with 3 more playing today. IC Regina lost in OT yesterday. Had it 2nd and goal at the 6 inch line in OT. They have the #24 rated RB in the nation and didn't give it to him once in OT. Still don't get that one. Part of me was hoping for the privates to go...

Iowa vs. Iowa State in the Alamo Bowl.

Yep. It doesn't seem like they're playing the same game as my school. I hate pissing in players' Cheerios, but when they say they're being recruited for football, they're getting form letters. I would just tell them to watch that game and see if they could compete with those guys...or their JV's.

Sounds like good stuff. I don't cook much because my wife likes the alone time and because I coach pretty much year round. Lucky she believed me when I told her I was rich...
