  1. Can't refute anything you wrote. I guess I just expected a letdown at some point. The pen has been pretty good all year. Personally, I haven't trusted Andrew Miller in any situation this year.
  2. I'm not sure he had much of a choice yesterday. There were just too many games in a very short period. But it's been a great ride the last month and a half or so.
  3. My senior is also in band. He's really good. Takes his shoulder pads off at halftime and performs with the band. Kid stays pretty busy.
  4. Union. Have 2 there now, a senior and a sophomore.
  5. I'm imagining several dozens of soccer fans writhing around in pain holding their shins.
  6. Oh, by the way, Rolla is pretty damn good at wrestling. They are in the same district as my boys' high school. I worked a table at the the district tournament and had a good seat for several of their matches. They had several wrestlers qualify for state last year. One kid was a freshman and won district at 160. That's a tough weight for a freshman. I see a state championship for that young man (he may have won last year, but not sure). If you are interested, you should check out Neosho. They are in the same district and are a true wrestling program. They probably had 11+ qualify for state.
  7. Rolla... our high school has their first meet every year with Rolla. It's cool how they do it. It alternates schools each year and is done during the school day during an assembly.
  8. Pretty sure that's part of a new gang initiation.
  9. Yeah, I'm replying to this pretty late, but... I'm a vet. I served just shy of 11 years when I decided it was time to hang it up. When I was getting out, there were quite a few people that asked me how much disability I was going to get. Holy shit, there's nothing seriously wrong with me. Yeah, my knees hurt, my back hurts, my hearing is shitty, but nothing for which I see as needing to suckle on the gubmint's teat for the rest of my life. Yes, there are legitimately disabled veterans and they need our support. However, there are also plenty of vets with disabled plates that in no way deserve or need them. I know them, I am friends with them, but holy shit there are way too many of them getting benefits that they simply don't need. But it's not popular to share that opinion. Hell, I know a guy that was a pogue in the Army and he constantly talks about his PTSD. What I want to ask is, "Holy shit, dude, what happened? Did you run out of coffee working in the TOC?" He saw nothing more than I did, but you'd think that he was captured by the Taliban or some shit. Yeah, he's getting disability for it.
  10. Yeah, Ozuna had the similar reaction to Grandal's blast last night.
  11. Or they just know that we taste horrible because of all the shit we eat.
  12. I live about 60 miles west of STL. I spend as little time as possible within the city limits.
  13. You don't know me.
  14. The use of the word “superior” when referencing someone senior to me.
  15. I'll get back into it in a couple of months. Both older boys are in football right now, but wrestling starts soon enough.
  16. Double Lindy. Not impressed.
  17. Shins blowed off.
  18. I'm not sure if it's tips or advice, but in my experience middle school coaches are not the cream of the crop of the coaches in the district. If they were good coaches, they'd probably be at the high school. There will likely be a ton of kids out there, so the kids don't get the attention that most of them need. Basically, all the boys play in 7th grade and then it slowly dwindles in 8th and 9th. I've had boys play for middle school and youth football leagues in middle school. When we lived in Texas, they had middle school ball. My 17 year old (going into his senior year) played middle school in 7th grade. Then when we moved up to Missouri, they didn't have middle school ball, so he played youth league. He was fortunate that the youth coach that year was a former high school varsity head coach and had taken a position as a principal, so no high school coaching anymore. That was the year that my son turned it on. Best coaching he ever had. In short, it depends on the coaching staff at the middle school. Good luck and I hope he enjoys it.
  19. That visitor section is like home side seating in Missouri. We moved up here a few years back and my kids were not impressed with the high school football stadiums.
  20. LOL... "STOP... PLEASE". That's when they should have juiced him again just for good measure. Actually, they should have kept hitting him with it until he cried.
  21. You don't want to know.
  22. Daddy forked over a couple of grand to live vicariously through his little chunk.
  23. Clemson, but that would be in calendar year 2020, right?
