    Optional workout strategies with your own kid

    They are all coming every day? It sounds like your kid is going to 3 or 4 optional workouts a week (out of 5 per week, I'm assuming). That's not considered enough? What are you worried about? The optics of missing those workouts, or the actual training that he is missing out on? My opinion...

    Northwestern head football coach Pat Fitzgerald fired amid hazing scandal

    It's sort of a myth that they lose badly to Michigan and OSU. This is partially why Fitz was highly regarded. Here are the scores of the games against those two since Fitz was there: 2006: Mich L 17-3; OSU L 54-10 2007: Mich L 28-16 2008: Mich W 21-14 2011: Mich L 42-24 2012: Mich L 38-31...

A couple years ago, my son’s coach had all the players read a book about a Cornell lacrosse player named George Boiardi who died of this after taking a ball to...

    CFB 2022 Week 14: Conference Championships

    What’s the problem? There were people saying Alabama lost to a 4 loss team, which would disqualify them, but Michigan still had a game against a 4 loss team coming up. And I figured OSU is a better team than TCU, so why would the committee put them against the 1 seed giving the 2 seed the...
