  1. Because they are checking Facebook.
  2. Not sure that it's final yet, but I'm sure he'll be back for one more year.
  3. Incest, necrophilia, whatever it takes. You never know in that state.
  4. Thread title had me thinking something completely different, but I guess this works too.
  5. Hard to get work done when this is starting at me. Must pet...
  6. Oh no, it's black. Probably breaking in.
  7. I'm disappointed, but not at all surprised with Mo getting extended. I'm not a fan.
  8. That ain't wrestling.
  9. It's time! Boys officially start practice today after receiving a beat down in the first round of the football playoffs. Secretly, I'm glad football season is over so that wrestling can get going.
  10. For me, the best answer for TX is Killeen.
  11. They got lucky if the other option was Ohio.
  12. Man, I'm surprised that there are tickets left this late.
  13. I'm a fucking moron for believing that we were going to be good this year. Holy fuck, I'm stupid.
  14. That lives in Italy, if I recall correctly.
  15. Semper Fi. I was a Marine too. You're correct in that the Navy isn't going to rescind his contract or anything like that. The boy has his priorities set though and the Navy is number one. Luckily he probably has 3 more football games to play. Their last regular season game is tonight, then playoffs. They'll likely win one game in the playoffs and get bounced in the second round. Right after that wrestling starts, but that coach is much more understanding of other commitments. My boy has always placed team events first in wrestling. So, if there are competing obligations, he will do wrestling if it's a team event. If it's an individual thing, like a tournament, he'll likely skip it (depending on what the other event is).
  16. High school football coaches in general. My oldest is a senior and has started on OL at RT every game beginning with game 1 his sophomore season. He has also played every snap on offense during that time. He is also in band, so for home games he stays out with the band, performs, then runs into the locker room. He also enlisted in the Navy shortly after his junior year ended. Once a month he has a mandatory meeting with the other Navy recruits in the area on a Thursday. Therefore, once a month, he misses the walkthrough practice on Thursday. This season he has been playing with some slight back pain since week 2 or 3. A couple of weeks ago he went to see the trainer about it, so he missed the first part of practice. Then on Thursday, it was the day for his mandatory Navy meeting. Coach (28 or 29 year old first year head coach) decides to make an example and discipline him for missing practice. Sits the kid for the first half of his senior year homecoming game. He's been fucking with my boy since then. I honestly think it's because my boy is also in band and so he doesn't see him as being fully bought in to football. I can't say anything, because I have another kid on the team that is a sophomore. Plus, I don't want to be 'that' dad. The senior is pretty good. He's been on one visit to a small college and others have asked. He's made his mind up, so he's not going to see any other colleges. Kid is 6'4", 285, and is a road grader in run blocking and is also a very good pass blocker. Hasn't had a penalty called on him since game 1 of his junior year. TL/DR: High school football coaches are trivial and they make me surly. And yeah, this is trivial, I know.
  17. Gonna have to disagree a bit here. Atlanta was not the same team. The Nationals are just hitting on all cylinders. Pretty sure they would have beat the Atlanta team that the Cardinals faced pretty easily.
  18. We have had Sadie for 2 weeks now. She is absolutely the sweetest, most patient, well behaved dog I have ever owned. In the mornings, I feel her paw nudging me. I roll over, open my eyes, and that's what I see. Then she lets out a slight grunt letting me know that it's time to get up. This sweet girl has worked her way into all of our hearts in a very short time. I hope that I can give her the life that she deserves.
  19. Small school, but a football power in the state. In Missouri there is no separate 'class' or playoff for private schools. They are lumped in with public schools of similar size. Cardinal Ritter recruits football players, plain and simple. They maintain a small enrollment and compete against public schools that are class 2. It's a screwed up system, but whatever.
  20. I'm not saying that his teammates should have tattled, but ending their season is not unreasonable. I do think it sucks for the players that are now not going to get to play the rest of the season, but I also think that Cardinal Ritter is doing the right thing. As the mom said, it is the adults that shoulder the responsibility of ensuring that they are all doing the right thing. When the adults failed, then everyone is going to have to pay the price. It sucks, but it's about all the school could do. On another note, I find it highly suspect that the athletic director or any of the school administrators didn't know what was happening. Even I, as just some parent watching my boys' high school games, would know if something like this was going on. I'm not sure if I would say anything, but I do know that if the punishment were to forfeit the remainder of the season, it wouldn't come as a shock to me.
  21. This was a big story here. While I do feel bad for the seniors on that team, I think it's pretty evident that pretty much everyone on that team was complicit. Also, the entire coaching staff has been fired.
  22. This is what I see around 5:45 each morning. I love it.
  23. Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar?
  24. Not real. The engines go into the ground a few times.
