  1. There was a HS band in northern Virginia in 2000s that had green uniforms identical to Cavaliers. Saw a different HS band in Hampton Roads that attempted a direct lift of the 007 show. Key word is attempted.
  2. Actually, I think all of us aren’t as young as we used to be.
  3. Unlike what my family would suggest, sometimes I actually do know what I am talking about.
  4. University of Richmond has good stadium. Artificial turf field. https://richmondspiders.com/facilities/robins-stadium/6
  5. Annapolis is a 4.5 hr drive (or more depending on DC traffic) each way. Maybe I’m being selfish, but I really don’t want the distance to increase. Warrenton VA HS used to host shows in early 00s. Southwest of DC. Is there a reason that show couldn’t be moved to VA? Or is the tour in even more of a rut that I thought?
  6. One of our former lab managers is completely hearing impaired; he graduated HS in early 1960s. He can read lips; says that back then they weren’t allowed to use sign language. But it has to be a one-on-one conversation. Hard to follow a group conversation.
  7. Idk re LOS price, but if construction delays mean it isn’t ready, then it isn’t ready. DCI might get a refund I suppose. IDK Detroit cost, nor what condition St Louis dome is in. But if DCI is committed to dome, those are closest. And looking at St Louis dome website, they have a concert (band called Pink (who I have never heard of)) on schedule for 10 Aug.
  8. Cool, you can call an audible (Ok Dr Philosophy - is it an audible if you can’t hear it? This is a variation of the tree falling in forest question). LSU, on the other hand, developed air conditioned helmets (not making this up)
  9. Yes. This partnership seems to fill at least part of the gap between Corps medical staff, who primarily deal with orthopedic injuries, and obvious ‘go to hospital now’ situations. Also, idk how hard it is for Corps medical staff to write a prescription for antibiotics to treat sinus infection when Corps is on the road. Can someone licensed in California write a prescription in Allentown?
  10. For what it’s worth, ethics & standards is squarely in his IRL wheelhouse.
  11. I recall seeing once the Gallaudet football team having bass drum on sideline & when hit it, vibrations tell center to hike hall. Is this still the case?
  12. Purdue in West Lafayette is a lot easier to get to as it is off I-65. But I am a Purdue grad so perhaps I am biased. If LOS isn’t ready, unless DCI can quickly swing a deal with Detroit or St Louis, it would mean that DCI championships will be outside. As God intended.
