    Part of the reason why I hope the Taylor/Travis breakup occurs in the offseason...

    He's looked like s#!t since Daboll left for the Giants.
  3. Some of us have had Peacock for awhile now. Watch Parks and Rec for a month until your subscription runs out.
  4. I believe that the downfall of society can directly be traced to when dodgeball in PE was banned. Scooter days turned into bumper car days so fast in my PE class. Pretty sure we had more concussions from headfirst collisions there than we ever did in football.

  6. Agreed, which is why those need to be more of an option for some students. Disagree, because at that point, they have very little idea what their interests are going to be post-HS where those concepts may be applicable. You have to provide a well-rounded education for all, and that includes those concepts being reviewed/retaught at the HS level. Agreed, which is why the honus is on local law enforcement to enforce those as crimes.
  7. A friend of mine left HS to teach at a middle school, where he's thriving at. He also served in Afghanistan, so he's seen some s#!t.
  8. Middle school boys destroy everyone's lives; let them be mandatory until HS, then make them elective. I agree about computer programming, too. STEM classes are becoming more and more popular at the elementary level; make those more mandatory to get kids interested and invested at a younger age, then make higher-level tech classes available at the HS level for those who are interested.
  9. I don't know if "forced" conscription is the answer. I'm more in line with "local governments need to do more to force parents to parent their children", i.e. stop letting kids slide on things like truancy, fighting or vaping. If school staff had the support of parents, a lot of these issues would be easier to deal with.
  10. I agree 100% Alternate placements can be fantastic for students who can't "fit" into a typical gen ed building. However, reading, writing and math still need to be core subject materials at the high school level, especially at a trade school. Augment these with business and professional classes to show students who are uninterested in them how they are used in a real-world setting. @teachercd and @Guy Chamberlin are also spot on: you gotta find a way to fund the arts. This is a tricky area; students want the suspension because it gets them out of class and/or school. Plus, pressing charges depends a lot on the county attorney in the area and how far they want to press things like behaviors in schools. One way to handle this is to go back to your main point and provide more funding for health experts/specialists for schools.
  11. He handed me some Vals at a game once.
  12. Awful generous of you to think a football is going to be thrown far enough AND accurate enough off that field to hit something as small as a child.
  13. Being a Chiefs fan, this sort of thing is surreal. I've got a couple of nieces in their teens asking me all sorts of football questions now because they're watching more games.
  14. There is a bit of distance between the three; Wisky is 9th, Iowa 20th and Nebraska 37th. But yea, turnovers are probably going to be a major deciding factor.
  15. Iowa and Nebraska are remarkably similar this season; both giving up relatively similar amounts of yards and points, while holding teams to similar amounts of yards and points on D. Iowa has a stronger strength of schedule. Wisconsin has, statistically, the best offense but worst defense of the three, while also playing the hardest schedule of the three.
  16. Big Macs are fine, but what sort of bet did that guy lose to rock THAT hairstyle?
  17. I don't go as far back as some do, but the last great transfer QB was, well, I'd like to say his name, but I hear if you say it into a mirror 3 times, he appears and takes the OC job at Iowa.
  18. I mean, Haarberg is 5-1, and Sims is 0-2.
  19. I don't think anyone is claiming HH to be an objectively good quarterback; he's doing just enough to win games, though. And Chubba can't climb over Sims to be #2 on the depth chart; the ship has sailed on him, too.
  20. Well, of course; no one is saying he is. It's all but confirmed that they're in the hunt for another transfer QB (and if rumors are to be believed, they're willing to pay a pretty penny for one). But, there's no guarantee that they get one to come here, or find one that can beat out HH. So, as I said, don't be surprised if the scenario where HH takes the first snap next year comes to fruition.
  21. There are some rumors out there about potential transfers for next year, but I think we all need to be prepared for another year of HH while Kaelin gets acclimatized to college. Hopefully HH puts in the work necessary to improve his footwork and mechanics so he can become a more complete QB.
  22. "Wait, no, the leopards can't eat MY face!"
