I forgot about Ryan Ross only playing for the first game. That game was tough on both squads, USJ lost Ryan Ross and CPA lost our star tailback Eric Holt, both were gone for the entire season. I think we are going to see a Boyd vs USJ Final this year.

It looks as if you are out of luck for Lawrenceburg. See coverage map below http://www.nextel.com/cgi-bin/localMarketM...gi?market=mkt37

In another thread the anticipated impact is 15% to 22%. However if all the prime athletes move to privates as a result of different financial aid rules, the actual losses could be much larger.

I think Eddie should do the Streaking

I really wish they would have compulsory competency in driving tests for anyone over 70. Every week I see white knuckle elderly folks on the interstate causing havoc due to their lack of driving skills and slow response times. Driving is not a right, it is a privelege based upon the ability to do it safely.

I think it would be real cool to have a feature where their whole hard drive is erased the next time they log on.

Guys, This is my thread. It's like being at a party and watch everybody talk to everybody else and ignore me. I'm now heading toward 60 and the parties over for my 50th. How am I doing?- I'm practicing for the next stage of my life "Grumpy Old Man" I can hardly wait for the next Lemonade Stall to crop up in my subdivision, I am going to call the cops to see if the kids have a Permit or not.

Robjim, How can you challenge Maynardettes Credit Worthiness. She has treasure in her socks, surely that is better than any PO.

My wife doesn't like me dating, but if I were allowed I would have a Tee Shirt that reads "Do I come Here Often?"

ELA, I honestly think a move up to 3A for the privates is more in line

dandy82, I agree that a voluntary move up by the better 1A and 2A privates would help a lot to solve the current mess. It would also enable the weaker programs to stay in 1A (eg NCS, Friendship etc). What it requires is for the likes of Ezell, CPA, DCA, USJ, Boyd etc to get together and all agree to offer to move. I would be interested in the views of Public School Supporters on this, especially 1A, 2A and 3A schools.

I would honestly like to protect your story Queenbee but I only have delete authority on the Football Board. One good thing though, your secret is only known by Plus Members and we would never reveal your secrets to the general populous at any price.....well maybe not for anything less than $1.50. By the same token, most general coacht members do not know that Robjim gives demos of the products he sells.

I actually meant the Queen of England not Queenie from Smith County.....however if the cap fits. How cold is it in Cloudland later on in the season if I decide to visit? Will I need to borrow a pair of Maynardettes Socks with the added layer of special insulation?

landergolfer, even I have been in the pressbox at Cloudland. A great night, cold and you guys whipped our tails (CPA) and great people. Ya'll aren't ready for his accent. What Accent? Anyway I have an invite to the Cloudland Press Box .............Go Landers Where does Maynardette set up her Fortune Telling Booth at Cloudland Football Games.

From what I saw last year, I would agree that USJ has the best prospects. For a team of mainly Sophomores and Juniors they really put up a strong showing and played well together as a team. They certainly exceeded my expectations of them and I think they will be clicking on all cylinders this season as for the most part they return fully intact and battle hardened.

I would add DCA and Gordonsville into the mix

If you let me visit the press box once in a while.............Yes

Well, it is finally here, on the 14th I hit the big 5 and 0. Slowly but surely I am catching up on Robjim. The big question though, what shall I do to celebrate. Note Royalties are due to Goldenboy who came up with the birthday idea before me.

I am always on Eddie's side. Give him a bath.

Thanks Stan, You may well be correct in the fact that the larger Div II schools are at their max on financial aid. I do have some concerns if now us smaller private schools have to go that route. First of all is the cost, most of the 1A privates have cheaper tuition than MBA and BA. For the most part it is deliberate to enable families to be able to afford the cost of a Christian School Education. If we have to now start financial aid, I see tuition going up and kids who are neither academically or athletically gifted will be taking the full impact of the increase. My bigger concern is that the whole vision of the schools may change. MBA, BA , BGA etc have a tradition of academic and athletic excellence and in my opinion it is well balanced as it has grown over time. If all of a sudden a CPA, FRA etc can raid the publics with for good players, it has a detrimental effect on what the schools were set up for in the first place and also has a negative impact on Tennessee athletics in general. If you remember a couple of months ago, myself and robjim were pretty candid with you on some of our concerns on the chat board. None of that has changed.

You've got me worried Queenie, I've shook his hand on several occasions.

I hate to see this gradual decline of small town and rural life and the associated jobs they created. I lived in a small town about 50 miles north of Toronto and the newspaper was a delight to read and helped build the community. We knew who all the up and coming hockey, baseball and softball players were from about 8 years old on. We even had one column that covered a small hamlet on the outskirts that even covered ad-hoc baseball or street hockey games as the kids were on Summer Break. If anyone from out of town ever visited one of the residents we even got to read what was served for supper. One day we will hopefully learn in society that bigger is not always better. I hope you get a chance to write again someday KevB.

I think mchsballer has caught a lot of my views of cheerleading and I am not saying it just to be mean as my daughter was one. It was an elite club with incredible back biting and I (and she) is glad she got out of it. She is a dancer by gifting and the workout she gets preparing for that is many times greater than Cheerleading Practice and is a lot more focused. One thing that absolutely amazed me last year was during the last game of Football for our Middle School. The team had won every game and what is more had never ever been scored on all season. In the 3rd Quarter, the opposing team had the ball on our 5 yard line. At that point the Cheerleading Captain decides to run one of their set pieces which had nothing to do whatsoever with the defense play that was required on the field. As the opposing teams trailback runs into the endzone, all the cheerleading moms are applauding vigorously as their daughters bob their heads and complete their little piece.

robjim, I know you sell toilet paper, can you elaborate on the "Sales Kit" and how you do demonstations?
