As I posted earlier........ The real outrage are for the parents who pony up tens of thousands of dollars to both of these schools for something more over public education. If I was one of those parents you bet I would be screaming at the school leadership. The decisions of the athletic interests in the school overrode the mission statements of the school (and they still have a job).

And with all these points how in the world do you explain his decline? It can be well noted I advocated him as a strong posibility many, many months ago. However, if you do not want to think the extreme activism of the Christian right in the efforts in Iowa have not turned off other PRIMARY voters, well, you can see the results for yourself. He makes positions that are solid and I agree with. I strongly considered him and I became turned off by his activism to his faith commentary. As a preacher, great. As commander in chief, not that important to me. This strategy worked for the Bushes, it is failing him and I think he would be better than W but the card(s) of faith base appeal does not and will not play in the current voter interest. He has lost and he is done. Sad, but that is the reality.

Yeah, Fox News, Limbaugh, others are all part of national media bias to narrow in the presentation. Ok. Sure. And as for reporting and sound bites, why then does he give them the material to use? Speech after speech he has to say something. Oh, I guess his own website is filtered by outside media?

He needs to start a campaign that knows there are seven days to the week and not all what is done on Sunday.

Are you serious???

You are right. They simply agree to donate 13,000 to KHSAA, accept the sanctions and change their procedures and sell their version in a full page ad. They did nothing wrong.:rolleyes::lol:

The converse is if found a violation then it is illegal.

The best post on the cartoon. Cartoons are ridicule, humor, satire. If the posts of many are accepted ...this is about the kids, not adults, then accept the cartoon. It mocks the coaches (adults) who experienced punishments by the KHSAA for the very thing being mocked. The real outrage are for the parents who pony up tens of thousands of dollars to both of these schools for something more over public education. If I was one of those parents you bet I would be screaming at the school leadership. The decisions of the athletic interests in the school overrode the mission statements of the school (and they still have a job:thumb:). The coaches at LCA and Lex Cath that were involved in these past problems deserve the fate and the ridicule. They let the kids down. There is nothing wrong in pointing that out because they expect a fair amount of committment in return to their programs from players and the families. It is a two way street on matters of conduct. It is a cartoon and I wonder how we all would post if the cartoon was showing the KHSAA as spineless and leadership weak?

Best Technical Story
SilverShadow replied to U Reach I Teach's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I know a coach who did not get one but should have. It confused the ref. Coach asked ref if he saw the movie "Forget Paris", a Billy Crystal movie where he plays the part of a ref. The ref said no, did not see it. The coach said you remind me of Billy Crystal and the acting job he did in that movie.:thumb: -

The same year a total of 15 coach ejections for the season? -
What is the story of how Morris was contacted about his interest that started the whole thing?

I will suggest one thing about the CCHS circumstance. I know the basketball coach made a public issue with the volleyball coach about the volleyball coach only committing to volleyball, which turned out to not be true. I know it was claimed but never corrected after the claim was turned out to be false. -

Why the double standard?
SilverShadow replied to ladiesbballcoach's topic in Kentucky / National Politics
EXACTLY! I like many of his points but am getting very tired of the religion play. Some in his crowd is starting to go over the top. In the long run he will be defeated by this if it does not change. -
Lessons from Chris and Darius
SilverShadow replied to Plato's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Where does this sense of entitlement come from for the games to be at Mason? It is good for the region and Montgomery has a new place to show. What is wrong with that? Mason has done and did a great job and will continue to do so but others who step up to the plate will get a turn at the tournament. In a short time the tournament will be played in Highland Heights and seating will not be a problem. -
Legislature Getting involved in KHSAA
SilverShadow replied to Ram's topic in KY Football (High School)
This proposal will be sent to education committee and will die a very quick death. There may be comment/hearing on the proposal but given the revenue and cuts announced, this bill suffers by way of the wastebasket. -
Huckabee projected winner in Iowa
SilverShadow replied to The Professor's topic in Kentucky / National Politics
A true conservative candidate across the board will not win during this 2008election cycle. Read: Fred Thompson. I think the Bush paint job on the conservative name taints the claim until some remodel efforts are made.
