  1. 13u parents shouldn't be at practice. I don't think 11u parents should be at practice... Maybe even 10u. That is time for the coach and the kids with no outside pressure. I haven't had to ever make a rule about closed practices, but maybe you should? That isn't healthy for the kid, his teammates, you, anyone. And don't punish the kid if his dad is a dick. If the kid is a dick, sure. But sins of the father and all that.
  2. What are the percentages of the astroid today?
  3. Count me in as movie theater guy. I grew up in a small town and a couple small towns over there was a movie theater. With a balcony and gold leaf and burgundy curtains and everything. I love the sticky floors and the smell of butter and Dolby doing their thing. If it's a movie I want to see it will be at a theatre. Nothing else comes close to me.
  4. Mwc cut a big check to unlv and air force to stay. UNLV really needed the money because they are broke. That guaranteed the leaving members didn't have the votes to just dissolve the conference. I'd really like unlv, Wyoming and new Mexico to be in the PAC whatever. That's a great regional conference with a lot of long time rivalries and a relatively small footprint. Afa could go to the American with army and navy.
  5. I'm not going to say connections has jumped the shark, but there's been several times lately that I thought green and yellow were way harder than blue and purple.
  6. Kiper is an idiot. Anyone that has sanders as QB 1 in this draft should fire their GM. Check his completion percentage over 10 yards.
  7. It will be fine. I'm just glad my kid is excited to play baseball again. This is the first year since I've been here (6 years) that we are actually having kids transfer into our league. That's never happened in the past. And our 12u team looks like it could be really good. I never thought in a million years I could care this much about little league but here I am.
  8. I guess there's always a number someone will say yes to, but I just don't see him leaving. He has it so dicked. Lives in the middle of nowhere. Doesn't have to deal with any boosters or bullshit. Gonzaga has sneaky money (no, it isn't Texas money but it's more than you think) and just gets to lay low and no one bugs him.
  9. Home record is ridiculous. Winnipeg is even more ridiculous. What a time to be alive.
  10. I'm honestly not sure if I'm an isolationist or a war hawk. I think there are times and places where people "over there" need to deal with their own shit. But I also think that to whom much has been given, much is required. I know Ukraine was a shit show for a long time... And maybe still kind of is. But when you are on the presipice ( if that's even a word) of totally dismantling one of the worst bad actors in world history how you can't just do the bare minimum. The rapes and murders and torture are not made up. Russia is a shit hole and always has been and always will be. How you could take their side is mind bottling. Trump is a simpleton. He just needs to be told that Ukraine winning is better for him than the alternative. Truly incredible day. Can you imagine if Regan (no CR) had the ability to completely kneecap the ussr with putting no American lives at stake and the only cost is giving billions and billions of dollars to American companies and unloading our warehouses? Fucking Idiocracy right now. I don't even understand the end game.
  11. You need to put out a newsletter. I will subscribe
  12. Watch out for snakes!
  13. My buddy worked for him at Utah. You could do worse, but it would be difficult. Edit to add... Another buddy of mine was the coach at Idaho during boylens first or second year at Utah. Idaho was playing a money game in salt lake and early in the week boylen said it was Idaho's Superbowl. Idaho beat their ass and my buddy had brought an old ass Superbowl hat that you would get for like an SI subscription in 1992 and he puts it on after the game for the handshake line. It was glorious. Boylen is a psycho and a bad coach.
  14. So, it's time. We have LL evaluations this Saturday. Opening day is April 19th. Time to go. My kid aged out last year because his mom and I fucked about 45 days too early. But he's playing jr's this year (13-15u) after taking a break after all stars last year because his coach was a fucking cunt. And he made a lot of kids not want to play baseball again. So...I joined the board so that would never happen to another kid again. Was voted to be umpire in charge. I take care of the fields and now I'm coaching jr's because no one else would. So basically I should park a 5th wheel at the fields and just live there until July. Let's go!

    Shit My Kid Says

    So...pops Jr is in 6th grade. Whenever I pick him up from school first question is what did you do in school today? Pops Jr: "learned" And then we laugh. Same question and same answer since like 2nd grade. I don't deserve him.
  16. Geezus. What are we even doing at this point.
  17. Jr year of high school. Qualifying for a golf tournament. 15 was a weird hole with an elevated green that you couldn't see the surface of until you got right up on top of it. Well, I hit what looks like a decent shot but who knows. Weird green with lots of undulation. I'm the last one in the group to get to the green and where is my ball? We look over the green we look everywhere and Ryan hauter starts going crazy telling me it's in the hole. Sure as shit there is my ball. It was cool. I'd made a few eagles from the fairway at that point in my life but whatever. It was neat. Next hole is a shorter downhill par 4 I have maybe 100 yards in for my second shot and I'll be God damed if I didn't jar it. 2, 2. Eagle eagle on the card. So, fast forward a month or three later and we are at our end of year dinner. Coat and tie, parents, girlfriends and all that shit. Coach asks each of us to tell our favorite moment from the year. Gets to me and I say when I went 2 2 on 15 and 16 in qualifying. There is like this weird moment where everyone got quiet and then everyone lost their shit. I was like what the fuck? I don't get it? Well, that day on 15 Ryan fucking hauter got to the green before me and kicked my ball towards the hole because whatever. Well, it goes in. And he was like whatever... Wasn't going to change the outcome of the qualifier. Then I actually make 2 on the next hole and they decided they couldn't tell me. So... They told everyone else. Including the coach. And they all held it for 3 months and I felt about half an inch tall and fuck every single one of them.
  18. So...we fuck up on moving arenado. We still have helsley and gray on the roster. What the fuck is moz doing? Is this a teardown and rebuild or just a fuck it let's win 75 to 80 games again?
  19. Few isn't leaving. He's a member at my country club. Which is in a different state than he coaches because he likes to lay low and not deal with shit.
  20. Slippery fucking slope and why NIL needs to be reigned in. You have a teammate getting 10k a month and a whip while you are getting free nuggets at the local Wendy's and you are ripe for the picking. And basketball is the easiest sport to manipulate if you play meaningful minutes.
  21. Would take those refs an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes
  22. Sometimes you just cash your chips in. He sells 73% for over 10x what he paid 25 years ago. Then he bets on the come line that gambling gets approved in Texas and his remaining 27% turns into another 3 billion or so. Of course he doesn't need it. 20 million is fuck you money. 150 times that is get the fuck out of my way money. But that's not how these guys work. I think he's divesting to run for president.
  23. I think I would like to party with Bruce pearl.
