HIGHLANDS GUY

My goodness! jolmstead .... you have got to be kidding me!!! You have been whining all year about kids not playing in their district and now I read that your own child is an out of district student. If that is true, you have zero credibility in this discussion and it makes all your 100+ posts on this topic look absolutely ridiculous. I am stunned and SMH so hard I may get a headache. Come on, man. Get real.

WOW!!!!

So what "population base" would that be?

No clue. However, if there are any kids part of the denominator, the population they come from would have to be part of the numerator. Or is it the other way around? :lol: Anyway you get the idea.

As for BW being developmental, that's laughable and you know it. I would guess, and I could be wrong, that BW has more kids playing college football today than SK does, and I will guarantee that to be true if you use a per capita analysis.

If you do a per capita analysis wouldn't you have to include the entire population base that Beechwood draws kids from?

Does this score tell us more about JC or Ironton?

I debated between going "transfer" or the "go Ryle and pull out the taser". Obviously I went the "transfer" path.

No telling how many kids transfer to Beechwood now. :banana:

No one can predict the future, but this group of kids for Beechwood are very special. There are a lot of pieces to the puzzle in that class.

Well said Old Sports Dad!

 

In this thread it was said that Beechwood's Freshman won the title four years ago. How has that translated into much of anything for this senior class for the Tigers?

I think that frosh team was comprised of the just graduated seniors plus a few current seniors like Nussbaum.

Under what circumstances could the Police use the taser? Can we assume the kid was threatening the police or can you just tase the kid for being an idiot.

Personally I think more tasing would help todays youth. :banana:

I am no expert, but my guess is she could have played D-1 in soccer too. She is a pretty special talent.

Why should it be a concern of the NCAA how a business chooses to establish/give out credit to its customers. Since when does the NCAA oversea commerce?

The NCAA doesn't oversee commerce, they do oversee improper benefits and they look into things like tattoos, tickets, cars, jewlery, etc. all the time.

You seem to be the only one shocked by this.

Duke more than likely didn't know what this young man was doing. UMass and Calipari also didn't know what doing Camby was doing with his transactions either. But it didn't help UMass. The NCAA dropped the hammer and stripped them of their Final Four, among other penalties. Unless things have changed since the Camby incident, I don't see how Duke gets a free pass here.

They NCAA has switched courses several times.

- Duke didn't know that Cory Magette had received improper benefits, but in that case the NCAA ruled that since Duke didn't know or have reason to know there would be no institutional punishment.

- Memphis had no clue that Rose was ineligible, but they stripped Memphis of their final four.

It will be interesting to see how they handle this.

With a 15 game losing streak that appears well on it's way to 21, alumni (including me) have started talking and asking if it is time to drop football from GC's athletic program.

What are your thoughts on what the problems are?

Other than Blessed Sacrament, does Beechwood consistently get catholic grade school kids from any other catholic school?

You are correct ... no one cares ....

For my money .... periods and standard punctuation are up there with "thin skin" .....

:clap:

Maybe no one else cares, but for my money a period and standard punctuation are wonderful things. :banana:

How many boys are in the 8th grade class at Blessed Sacrament on average? Do all of these kids go to Cov. Cath or do a percentage end up at Beechwood? I realize it probably varies year to year.

In my experience, I have seen lots of families who send their childrent to catholic grade schools, but public high schools.

IMO it does not matter.

Do you think there is a pool of kids that have the potential to go to either school or is that a myth? Basically guru's argument was based upon a belief there was such a pool.

Message boards are difficult places for people with thin skin.

I don't think they'll get the opportunity. I look for a close game.

It might be close, but at this point in the season, what would lead you to that conclusion?

I do not believe the final score will have an impact on school choice.

What about if one school goes on a winning streak as cov cath is now?

And if Beechwood finds themselves down 5 scores with Cov Cath's varsity still on the field and decides to start throwing crack back blocks , they would be well within their rights!

Wow.

Nothing wrong with being a homer or predicting a game that is a year away, but why don't you start a thread instead of thread jacking ths one?

I think he is on his way to Charlotte, NC with pom-poms in hand for the DNC. :lol:

He seems to find his way to every Brossart victory thread, but evidently not this one.

I heard this one was particularly sweet to Bracken given how Brossart managed the game clock in a blow out win in JV football a few weeks back.

Where is big green horse?
