I don't have any kids but I nominate myself.
I would vote for you as long as you are not one of those childless people who try to tell others how to raise their kids. Like when your kid is crying in the grocery store and they suggest a good whack in the ass would stop that and you are just there to grab some Orajel for the teething pain.

These posts are always cringe. I know the McCaffreys are easy to make fun of, but I'd say we know almost nothing about who CM and CC are off the court.

That seems oddly specific.
Sadly, I have dozens of other anecdotes.

Especially husband’s baby brother and his ex.

Didn’t want their own kids but wanted to have our older ones come spend a weekend with them. Third oldest told me not to worry, if they ever had to stay with them, his then 13 year old brother could be the adult.

We need to be talking way more about Aili Tanke's 3 point title and how freaking good our Cyclones women's team is going to be next year. CC is old news now.

I agree, but not in a thread about CC. So maybe someone should start a thread for that.

Championship or bust is now the bar according to this thread.

The NCAA has division I, II and III for track and field.
Yep. Difference with the NCAA is the students choose which division they will compete by choosing which school to attend. IF an athlete knows they can't compete with the best, they may opt to select a division II or III school where they will then have the chance at "winning". Basically division II and division III are like junior varsity. The fastest times for all divisions almost always comes from division I

But in high school, students don't usually choose which school to attend. Yes, there is open enrollment. But a kid living in a small rural town usually will just attend the school in their own town. Which is why the fastest times for an event can come from a class 2A athlete. If the same NCAA division structure applied to high school, one would expect the fastest times to solely come from the top class. That's just not the case, though

You win. Let's just get rid of classes.

Are you calling the IHSAA or should I do it?

Welp. She showed up on SNL tonight. Did a back & forth with Michael Che on the weekend update set. I actually felt sorry for her at the end of the show. When they're all milling around & hugging each other she ended up standing awkwardly off to the side and no one approached her. The cameras went off a lot quicker than usual, too.

Agree. Last year having to go through 36-0 SC to get there, this year having to go through the LSU superteam and then UCONN, brutal.

Staley though, wow, to lose 5 players to the WNBA draft and then come back and coach a bunch of freshmen to 37-0 and a natty, that's impressive.

Wasn't a team full of freshman by way. Of the core rotation 5 were on team last year, 2 were freshman and a transfer from Oregon.

Not exactly sure.

Shes around minute 14 of her 15 minutes. WNBA is not kind to those. Unless she goes overseas and gets arrested, most are never heard from again basically.

Lol, she'll never be an actor, but overall was a pretty good segment IMO.
