I really think you are trying to compare apples to oranges. Alvin’s district is significantly more difficult than what BH or GCM has been playing in. And Alvin really has struggled with lack of talent depth. When Veen was at GCM, she had a guaranteed 8-10 district wins due to the super weak district, regardless of the talent she did or did not have. So I personally don’t think W-L records tell the whole story. I have not heard anything about people turning down the job, so that is news to me. And when I referenced the 6A vs Goodman and Veen, it was more to support the fact that this coach at least has more experience in the 6A world - meaning it’s better that we get someone with more experience, not that she is necessarily a better coach. My worry was we would get an assistant from a 3 or 4A school who has been coaching all of 2 years. We really had several factors hindering our search - timing, second sport, the intimidation of moving up to 6A.

You are a might confused, my friend. When I ask for your opinion, it belongs to you and nobody else!

3 games back of division leader Seattle. 2.5 back of wildcard spot.

[Hidden Content] This is Trump winning. You should be happy and quit second guessing by asking me to guide your opinion.

I think we’ll be in good shape by all star break. Finally got some pitching working for us, except for that Arighetti outing.

Not sure but I beleive that's 4 series in a row, not sure and only 2.5 games back.

Sure is nice to be able to close out a close one.

If Alvin didn't have many club players then how much coaching up of non-club players actually happened? Based on the record, it wasn't much. To say that win loss record is not an accurate indicator of success is just not true. Not saying teams lacking club players can become world beaters, but they can be more competitive than AHS's record would indicate. The idea that any 6A coach is better than a 5A, 4A, etc... is also not very accurate. This hire just strikes me as a scramble because BH was turned down a handful of times and maybe overestimated their aura. Lastly, say what you want about Veen (and there is a lot), but the teams that GCM fielded when Veen (nee Mulryan) was the coach were much more successful than what Alvin has put up in the past number of years.

I can remember back in the 60s, regular was 10 cents and ethyl was 12 cents….and that was full serve. No such thing as self serve. They’d check the oil, battery, wipe the front windshield, and pump the gas. I’m sure you remember as well. Good times.

🤦‍♂️

Yeah. In 1973 I was was making $1.70 an hour. By January 1974 it was around 46¢ a gallon and I was making $2.00.

Exactly. I genuinely have no idea, but it sounded good. Ha!

True, but in that part of the world, safe travel hasn’t been that way for a while, what with the Houthis and the Somali pirates.

By the same token, to say it’s open doesn’t mean immediate safe travel.

My opinion is that I agree with the experts. Are you an expert and or do you have experience in the subject matter? This is the last day of spring and early summer. I assume that big beautiful bill has kicked in. Lol

Its amazing the Democrats are screaming "affordability" when they control fraud ridden places like CA and NY, where the cost of living is astronomical. I bought gas in TX at $2.99 this week. I bet its still double that in CA due to their sky high taxes.

That's semantics. If someone legitimately moves in for academics (or amenities, or whatever) and they happen to play sports, does that change how they are labeled? That happens a lot at BH. BH grows by hundreds. Some comes in and they happen to play sports too. Conversely, if someone was to move into a district that has mediocre to poor academics, and maybe even declining enrollment, but has outstanding athletics, then a person could reasonably presume the move was indeed for sports. If a student moves into an academically excellent district, that presumption can't readily be made. I don't know what's in Babins head. It is at least plausible he came for academics. Does BH offer some program elsewhere unavailable? Pol-Sci studies perhaps? Just a thought, nothing more.

I didn't want an article, I wanted your opinion.

[Hidden Content] Take from it what you may but I agree with James Stavridis, Retired U.S. Navy and former supreme allied commander of NATO. Also, Jim Townsend.
