OMD is condescending? Its an abbreviation, bro.

It is intentional by you or the ppl you got it from to diminish the knowledge to come across as equals. Any given MD knows more about the body as a whole and about systemic drug interactions than an OD. Using OMD is a subtle way of trying to diminish that and to separate ophthalmologists as only knowing the eye. Now I'm sure you got that from some od message board or maybe from higher ups in the OD but I've seen the same thing occur with crnas and anesthesia and other fields. It's to appear as an equal in knowledge and try to forget that even if you know as much about the eye the MD knows far more than you ever will outside their specific field.

No, the cardiologist and CT surgeon graduated medical school..

Well yeah, I was just trying to illustrate the point that you could know alot about organ pathology without being qualified to operate on said organ.

---

Cardiology is more interested doing their own interventions and eliminating the need for surgery than doing the surgery. Poor analogy.

Well, I'll say this. They're no Cedar Creek with a freaking carpool from Monroe to Ruston, but they def get kids from Union and Caldwell. "Recruiting" has definitely decreased the last 4 years as Sterlington's program has regressed.

Oh, and OCS holds back a ridiculous amount of kids. For "academic reasons?" For athletic reasons, definitely.

---

As an alum I can assure you that OCS does no active recruiting. Are there kids who live out of district who go there? Yes. However it is for the environment of the school and its academics, not athletics. Their entire families go there and not all are athletes. 95% come to OCS prior to high school.

As for the holdbacks that is completely true. I didnt, but there was an absurd amount of holdbacks and it was for sports. It was always guys and it started as 8S went to 5T and then further back as to avoid the rules of the LHSAA. IMO it only made a difference in their early years as they got some playing time early as freshmen but as the other kids hit their growth spurts they caught up by jr and sr and the holdbacks were no longer the standouts.

To sum up OCS recruiting: false, Holdbacks true.

In fact OCS was the victim of WM's recruiting. Willis Britton and Andrew Whitworth for starters. I believe Banks also started out at OCS if my memory serves me right.

If Whitworth had stayed with them the oline would have had included Niswanger Whitworth and Hurley all of which were scholarship LSU players 2 of which were starting NFL linemen.

We hired TJ fresh off a sweet 16 run at stanford. Yes that sounds good but the Lopez twins were lottery picks. Two experienced players who were lottery guys on one team sweet 16 is the minimum. Was trents coaching covered up just like Curleys with Brett Favre?

Looking around on youtube after watching the big cat from today and found this

A little further evidence
This begs the question-Who is the biggest badass on the team?

I say without a doubt JC Copeland.

We dont have a single guy who can do this right now

Scouts saying his measurements are off the charts and that hes flying up the draft board...Possibly number 9 with the Panthers.

Wish we had him for next year but the guy obviously made the right decision. :geauxtigers:
