  1. There is plenty of bad football at all levels. So the opportunity is there.
  2. I really thought you guys had a decent shot at GQ. Always need a good fit who can rally great support.
  3. It’s a sensitive subject that I clearly don’t understand. Is someone thinking that taking kids who do poorly on tests (due to whatever reasons) and sending them to a private school will help them do better on tests? That’s some wishful thinking. Most (not all) kids who perform poorly in the classroom do not have the support outside of the classroom to push them to do better. I’m not sure how changing schools is going to help that unless the new school’s teachers are gonna become heavily involved. Again, I’ve not really kept up with the subject. When is a decision supposed to be made on the transfers being eligible?
  4. That explains it. It might even get passed.
  5. No where that I know of. Are we agreeing?
  6. I think we are headed to sports moving out of the high schools. Nobody wants to pay for the schools let alone pay for others kids to play sports. Losing the school pride part will stink, but the sports will be a little better. Everybody can play right thru summer. Are there travel tennis teams?
  7. Any chance this takes effect by January?
  8. Great post on Coach Wilson! Derek just needs some more help. It’s never been about one person.
  9. Congrats to Houston. They dominated the parts of the game I saw.
  10. I missed the start of the game. Did Oakland not run their counter play where they out number you on the corner? A little bit I saw, they never ran it.
  11. Saving for spring sport fees. Paying about a grand per win if it’s a good season.
  12. I missed him. I’d bet most championship teams have administrators playing key roles. If you can’t out talent them, you better out work them. Ms Penny may have taken the recipe with her.
  13. It's not unreasonable at murvil to expect to go from 5 losses to 3. I think thats about a 38% improvement in the number of losses. I'm concerned we are still in some denial. There are schools all over the state with good intentions that are waiting on the difference maker to show up. We may need to uber him to 825. Nellie tuned up?
  14. Details…Yeah, but shoes weren’t as good. He was like a rocket.
  15. Good story Barn! The old ball coach left just before I got there. I’ve heard lots of good dad gum stories. Lol. I always enjoyed the one of him showing up in the church choir of a prospective “student” that still holds the 100 dash record for murvil - some 45 yrs later.
  16. From what I understand, that is surest way out. You gotta hope it’s being discussed.
  17. It’s a good fit. I hate it, but a good fit. The players will show up.
  18. The programs have helped each other. The season wouldnt be as good without that game. Go to a couple Alco-Murvil games at each place and it’s easy to see. It’s a semifinal atmosphere when they play. Bragging rights for the year. It’s usually a fairly even game. When it’s over, murvil tries to compete in 6A and alco whips everybody in 2A. Alco has closed the gap a little recently. Great rivalry that has some good old stories.
  19. I’ve heard Ryan Day is meeting some locals at Two Doors Down tomorrow…
  20. 14-0 in 3rd. 3-38 in the Other quarters.
  21. In the day, my buddies spent it on beer money, which ain’t a bad choice.
