None of those other Power 5 conferences really matter. As Steve Spurrier stated, "the ACC & the SEC should just play their seasons & the winners face off for the national title because one conference was going to win it anyway." Gotta love the "Ole Ball Coach!

Bats get such a "bad rap"... 🤣 Jeff said "Hooters"... 😇

I'd be looking for something cheap for dinner at Lucas Oil. And beer; beer's good.

Silly, they don't open the roof for band. I mean, "it's just band".

COMMONWEALTH vs GEORGE HOPKINS UPDATE: NO NEW UPDATE SINCE 6/26/20 COURT ACTION BY EMAIL: ORDER TO DENYING MOTION TO DISMISS COUNT 1 & DISMISSING MOTION TO COMPELL THREAD BACK ON TRACK

Good move. We've hosted a corps just about every year since 2006. There were a few of years where it didn't work out due to a large football camp or the fact that the organization waited too late to receive our BOE approval. The corps has to be approved by our BOE for our school's liability coverage which usually takes about one month. We also have to have the corps liability insurance bond so there's coverage from both parties.

I think in bars, they put it in the urinals because most drunk guys won't flush. That way when they pee, the ice melts helping clear the urine. That would probably only work for the open drain urinals or 'pee" troughs. 🤷‍♂️

Thursday, August 6, 2020: DCI World Championship Prelims at J. Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN.

Thanks; I really wanted the shrimp cocktail from Harry & Izzy’s.

Our system will double their routes in the morning & afternoon with the driver disinfecting the bus in between. That means the 2nd route will get to school about an hour later in the day. I'd want to be on the 2nd route in the morning & 1st route in the afternoon.

For those that might be inclined to reminisce, here's a link to the Day-by-Day Guide to the 2019 DCI World Championships: https://www.dci.org/news/day-by-day-guide-to-the-2019-dci-world-championships

Yup; we have several buses that run during the school day that transport students to a central tech center as well as students with special needs. It just adds more & more cost for school systems to follow the CDC guidelines.
