HS sports

With Dowling winning it’s 7th straight football title, and a few things I noticed as my boys do and will be competing for their HS (not football), this thought came up. Besides football, what HS sports matter IRT furthering your career of playing in college? You don’t need to play HS bb to be noticed or nationally seen, let alone evaluated. Same with golf, soccer, etc.

When kids can play / compete with / against better competition (typically better coaching and year round) in their club or travel teams, how relevant is HS sports really?

emotional attachment?

Friday OT #2 - The Weirdest of the Weird

I have a few bands that I really enjoy, but are so goofy or weird or silly that they've never really become huge. What are some of yours - post some videos!

Here are a few:

Republican Hair - "Miss Prince":

Friday OT #1 - Disposable Darling

Thanksgiving is upon us! It is admittedly not my #1 holiday, but there are always the foods about which I am most excited. A friend was talking about how excited she was for her mom's green bean casserole, and I realized that is most likely the food that could be absolutely slashed from every Thanksgiving meal and I would be just fine.

What Thanksgiving food do you like least, and would be happiest having removed from the day?
