You bet it does. Mention that at McDonald's and for $1.59, they will give you a cup of regular coffee.

Not yet.

The good news is, after this week, it drops down to 2 games and 4 different scenarios.

;D

By maxpreps ranking, Kelly wouldn't just beat every team in this area, no team could even stay on the field with them. That just about cinches up any ideas I might have had of registering with maxpreps.

Who gets trampled at Waffle House?

They were lining him up for the kill.

I guess it beats taking Dick Cheney quail hunting.

What citation would they have given the guy, having a dog hunt without a license?

Only if you care about whether you get APPLAUD or smite.

Sounds like he is asking to be applauded.

I guess that means that some people are going to owe Coop some money. ;D

Everyone knows that you cannot guarantee a poll ranking by who beat who unless a team is undefeated and even then it is questionable. So what if Nederland is ahead of PN-G? If LC-M with only one win on the year would have upset Nederland last week, would that have made them a top 20 team in the state because Nederland held that ranking the week before? Does it mean that they are a better team overall? Not hardly on either account. What happens when a team that is 5-3 on the year beats the #1 team in the state? Does that team then become #1? But wait, if they are #1 and 3 other teams have beaten then already, then they are all at #1, right? But which teams have beaten them? It is impossible to figure out which team should be ranked higher strictly off of the results of a single game. The numbers just won't add up. Rankings are nothing more than opinions, as everyone knows. Losing to a team does not and should not mean that the winning team should be ranked higher. If it did, it would be impossible to put out a poll since teams have beaten and lost to different teams.

You didn't hear any whining or violins from me after PN-G won. All I said was good game Indians, the team that wanted it most won. ;D

I think it is unsportsmanlike and in poor taste.

I check it out on occasion.

Actually I think Stewart and Neumann have had very similar careers at their respective schools. Both schools had fairly week records before their current coaches came along and both have made the playoffs pretty much ever since they arrived.

I "think" that a player that steps out of bounds cannot recieve a direct pass. That does not take the player out of the play.

Well, if maxpreps says that Kelly will win, then it is settled. Everyone else in 22-4A would be playing for second. :

He had to post bail to get out of jail immediately. The decision to drop charges aren't made until a prosecutor looks at the case. Assuming that the kid was arrested for Minor In Possession of Alcohol, it is the equivalent of a traffic citation. In most cities, that carries about a $25-$50 bond or even your word that you will show back up if you are a resident of that city. You can bond yourself out on a charge like that, literally in minutes. It maybe be several days later before the prosecutor sees the case and decides if he wants to file the charges in the city or Justice of the Peace court in that jurisdiction or to drop the charges altogether. The prosecutor can drop charges for whatever reason he wishes. It can be because the officer made a mistake, it can be because the kid's parents came in and begged for leniency or it can be because he went to school with the police chief's son. In other words, it is at the discretion of the prosecutor. In any case, it likely will not be determined until after the kid bonds out. Bonding out on that kind of charge is almost like signing a citation. You could be arrested for a MIP at 2:00pm and bond out by 2:30pm.

Now let's see 'em do it again! ;D

The thought of transfers is interesting. If the transfers were allowed, Kelly might be able to drag in some good players from other teams who would want to be on a good team with a shot at a long playoff run. On the other hand, if Kelly started off with a bad year or two, would some of the better players from the area teams then transfer? Would a couple of a team's better players transfer to a team with a losing record that has almost no chance to make the playoffs? While it would be great to transfer to a team that might get you better exposure and playoff experience, it could quite possibly be just the opposite.

Posting bail has nothing to do with charges being dropped so don't confuse the two. To post bail is to put up security money in exchange for your freedom. If effect, you are posting a monetary pledge to return to court to plea guilty or not guilty. If you don't return to court, you forfeit the money and they issue a warrant for your arrest. At a later time, the prosecutor will look at the case and determine whether to take the offense to court. The prosecutor can go ahead with the charges or drop them. That is when charges are dropped, not at the time of bail.
