    Apologies if I am way off base, but didn't they have a MBB player who was hurt, came back for just the ISU game and then claimed to be hurt and applied for a redshirt?

    DirecTV and ESPN

    Why not? I have yet to have anyone explain to me how I can utilize a dual tuner and, essentially, watch 2 (or even three if recording) FB games at once on a streaming service. Plus, I am not convinced that, at 25mps, my family can watch multiple programs in different rooms at the same time.

    Leave it to California

    Apparently, the NCAA lobbied against this and has threatened that this could eliminate the CA schools from post-season play.

    IHSAA Memo to Parents on Behavior

    It also seems more important the first time through. Having a daughter that went through 18U, it is much easier to see how unimportant any individual game or any specific play is. Just keep getting better every day, work hard, and have fun. I am much more interested in the life lessons...

    IHSAA Memo to Parents on Behavior

    I've been to a lot of travel Softball games. Usually I'm the scorekeeper and can strike up a conversation with the home plate umpire. I asked one umpire what was the worst level to umpire (as far as parents go) - without hesitation: 12U - C (C being the lowest level of that age group). We...

    I-35 / US 30 Flyover Progress

    You don't really have to slow down; a round-a-bout at 40 mph is a chicane. :)

    Helicopter Parenting

    Personally, I mentored from afar. Told/encouraged my kids to get to know their adviser, join a couple clubs on campus, get good grades (it will matter), and look for an internship. He was in a similar major as mine was and it was fun to catch up every few weeks and hear how it was going. My...

    Criticism of LeBron at Son's Game

    Handlers come and go. You are stuck with parents. I guess the whole Ball family comes to mind.

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    I have kept my cars to 200K without incident. Only the typical oil change, brakes, etc. Someone once told me you spend more on cars, over your life, than you do your house. I get newer used and run them from there.

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    Really? Personally, I am actually 30K+ a year on my car. Wife's car is 7 years old at 130K. Work, kids, vacations, ISU games, life all add up.

    Why isn't gas mileage improving for new vehicles?

    I would figure 200K miles to be less than 10 years of life.
