Pretty proud of the students at my old school: https://www.stripes.com/theaters/europe/2025-02-12/patch-school-protest-hegseth-dei-16804589.html
STUTTGART, Germany — More than 50 Patch Middle School students staged a walkout Tuesday to protest recent Pentagon moves that have targeted diversity initiatives at military schools.
In a memo to parents, the school said the protest was related to “recent events,” while stopping short of directly naming the Pentagon’s push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs and educational material.
The protest coincided with a visit by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to Patch Barracks, who was in Stuttgart for meetings at U.S. Africa Command and U.S. European Command headquarters.
During his stop at EUCOM, a small gathering of people dressed in civilian clothes also appeared to protest recent Pentagon decisions, with the group shouting out “DEI” for diversity, equity and inclusion.

Well, on Westlake's schedule they called it JV...on Jesuit's schedule they called it Varsity B, confirmed by my friend, who said Jesuit's JV didn't travel. Friend's kid had a nice bounce shot goal right after I had a frustrated rant about no bounce shots and a shitload of missed/saved goals, so that was satisfying. Jesuit looked sharp, imo - lot of smart lacrosse plays, multiple quick, connected passes leading to a quality shot. Defense held Westlake to 6 goals (13-6 final - Jesuit).

That's freakin' awesome! I know y'all are just neck deep in lacrosse family living - whole life scheduled around games. Good luck to the ladies Bogget this season - may they see many wins and few injuries.
Headed over to Westlake HS to see my fraternity brother's kid play for Jesuit JV against the Chaps. So cool to see so many of my friend's kids playing a sport that was super niche when I played and so much more mainstream now, knowing I'm the 1st person they knew who played and introduced them to the sport.

NBA 2024-25 Season Thread

Every team played last night, which is fairly rare - I think I heard Doris say it will only happen 4x this year. Even more rare:
