    This is the hidden content, please

     

    Highlights: baseball opens Friday February 16 at South Alabama tournament; Lamar picked second on preseason conference poll; first home game is March 1.

    Highlights??  I need college baseball and they aren't home until March!  That's not a highlight, but at least baseball is coming soon.  LU fans will enjoy the HCU transfer at 2nd base. He is simply fun to watch play.

    Pretty sure they have been split the past 2 alignments.  For sure they were on the last alignment.

    They sure were, didnt realize that.   Out on the northwest side of the region..as much as people love to hammer the UIL...not sure how they could have avoided it.  What district do you move without making that district travel through Cy Fair to their region?

    Cf isd has 12 6a schools so uil has no choice but to split them into 2 districts and to top that 16 6a is In region 2 17 6a is in region 3 so it's a possibility that 2 cf isd school could meet at at&t and play for a state championship!!

    I was thinking that very thing about the state championship possibility. The splitting of a school district in to separate athletic districts is quite common, but not sure I have ever seen separate regions. 

    Nightmare scenario for UIL, highly improbable though....2 fairly new 6A schools with no alumni base to speak of meeting in Arlington with both having quite a distance to travel. This scenario keeps happening and the nightmare could become a reality.

    You have not heard of “tryouts for baseball”? It is never “one kid”, once  they know they can be in athletics instead of PE they will keep coming.

    If you truly have been places where kids are willing to go through off season workouts without playing a sport instead of taking a PE class, you have come across some darn tough kids.  Unless, you have been at a place or places with such limited coaching staffs there was no real off season except in the Spring.  Now, if that's the case I can see kids pulling that stunt and understand your concern.

    Allowing all kids into athletics just because they want to or sign up for it is a huge mistake.  There are numerous reasons for removing kids from an athletics class.  Including but not limited to: A senior finished with sports, a student/athlete that doesn't play anything, behavior reasons, academic reasons, and probably many more.  

    Make it public which schools just allow any kid into athletics that want to be.. because I'm sure there are other coaches that would like to schedule them. 

    Fully understand your position and actually agree. My gripe is not allowing students in the athletic period because the student doesn't play football and/or basketball.  

    Discipline problems, grade problems, quitting in the past, etc....heck no...you aren't in the program young man. 

  6. Coached at 3 schools.  5A had a athletics period for football only and other period for other sports so it didn't arise.  Other 2 were a 3A that allowed all in, but we only had about 12-15 non-football in the period and only 1 did not play any l sports and the other was the 3A I mentioned.  

    The one kid, freshman, which I dont think surprises you, was not allowed in athletic period the next year.  

    Have you seen a situation with that many kids in an athletic period that didn't play a sport?  

     

     

  7. My resume is not the concern.  The elitist attitude of leaving kids out of programs is wrong.   The school I will not point out. Plus, according to you "many" don't allow it, so why point out the one?

    Several allow all athletes in are successful across the board doing so.  So, there is another way. 

    For the most part it's the anti baseball AD.  It forces kids into football if they wish to lift and get fit during the school hours.  

    We will simply disagree as you will not change my mind nor I yours.

    Not sure what school your riddle pertains to but there are "MANY" schools that do not allow students that do not play football in the athletic period. It is because there is not enough coaches to coach them all and there are always a hoard of kids that will claim they are "baseball" or "powerlifitng" or some other sport and then never make the team. Their only agenda is to "not be in PE". 

    It wasn't a riddle and all that do it are in the wrong.

    This is a 4A school.

    Got one for you while we discuss fairness. There's a 3A school in the area that only allows certain male sport athletes in the boy's athletic period. In other words, you must play certain sports or get you physcial education credit elsewhere and workout on your own.  One of the most unethical things I have witnessed.  

    Aa a college educator that teaches pre-service teachers/coaches, as a high school athlete I would not have been allowed in the aforementioned unnamed schools athletic period.

    Curious:  In these discussions, what sports were brought up that they thought girls needed weight training?

    All athletes need weight/resistance training. Heck, college bowling teams are assigned a strength and conditioning coach. 

    The only sport i can think of that uses no or minimal weight training is gymnastics. That is simply due to the nature of the sport having events that are by design resistance training. 

  11. If I read things correctly the Michigan AD is on the committee. How will he try to influence things?

    Maybe nothing at all and simply vote. 

    Maybe try to push for the final 2 teams that matchup better for Michigan.

    Maybe, my guess if he influences anything at all. is trying to push for the best on paper first round matchup.

    Hey, Jim, who you want in round 1?  I'll do my best. Thank you, Bud.
