Then you clearly don't know your history. Cornell was at Stark before the merge and was an intergarl part of strength and conditioning from the very beginning. 1983 was a singular bad year with a lot of issues in the lockerroom. It wasn't lack of talent (I think Harold Green ended up at Oklahoma) or coaching and you could clearly see the ascent the next season as we gave eventual co-state champ french all they wanted. Back then we were 5A and whoever came out of our district routinely went to state. Of ANYONE responsible for building that program, it was Cornell Thompson and the fact that you don't know that demonstrates your lack of understanding here. (and honestly, Kerry Franks, Sr., practically single-handedly carried us to that District Championship in 1979. It sure wasn't Mccarty.)

You need to stick to what you know and understand. WO-S didn't build a reputation by beating up on mediocre teams. WO-S has always had talented kids. The program elevated them to the highest winning percentage of any program in the state. The discipline and coaching elevated them to being one of the storied programs state-wide. The proof is in the pudding. You can look at the immediate drop and what happens when WO-S faces the elite competition that they used to bludgeon with conditioning. You DO NOT get it. We aren't haters. We LOVE WO-S. We have A LOT of pride. We have high standards and didn't want to see the program fall. It has. By every objective metric, what was left in the cupboard shouldn't have looked like that. It has been beneath what we expect.

Kendall coming back would be amazing. Toby coming back would be amazing. If we had a time machine and could undo losing Cornell that would be amazing and I suspect at least some of the idiots that promoted this awful turn of events would change their minds. People from the outside just DO NOT GET IT. This was all predicted.

Silsbee is going to crush us and I feel awful for these kids already. They grew up dreaming of wearing that silver hat and being part of a legacy of greatness. The only thing that kept us in this game was effort from the players and their athleticism. It is so hard watching it die. Can you even sort of imagine those runs right up the gut against a real WO-S defense?

Your question was bad. Good faith is what the officer relies on to be entitled to qualified immunity. Good faith is not the actual thing that makes him IMMUNE to civil consequences. The legal DOCTRINE at issue is Qualified Immunity. Having had occasion to bring 1983/Bivens actions, I am not merely speaking out of turn.

QUALIFIED IMMUNITY

Qualified immunity is what generally covers them from civil repercussions.

WO-S as a legendary program is done. Apparently it is going to take some folks multiple faceplants to realize it, but that winning percentage is going to plummet faster than you might expect. No one is saying that WO-S won't compete. Occasionally they will field a talented squad that will partially overcome coaching shortcomings, but our reign as a program that is routinely a cut above with kids dreaming of a silver hat from peewee on is over. Don't know what you got til its gone. We predicted this.

Called it.

How's it looking now, Majestyk? Anybody know what they were talking about?

I had expected it to take longer to plunge the program into mediocrity, but maybe it is a fitting tribute. Hopefully people will finally realize just how singularly important Coach Thompson was to the program and the real ramifications of his absence.

wow, so there ARE sane people that comment here :)))

It's so weird watching people bark views based completely on what they want to believe, completely divorced from evidence, while simultaneously dismissing the views of others based on the exact same fallacious paradigms.

who said they were an expert? when did this become a place where one cannot express an opinion, expert or not?
