His QB transferred to Starkville High School. He is a 27 Grad, super athlete, great kid that has multiple offers already. The big TE moved to Denham this offseason also.

Will Clark hit that infamous bomb, I always remembered it going out left center towards the old dorms behind the old box. shite that was 20+ years ago so my memory could be skewed.


Hate to tell you brother but Will Clark played at State mid 80's so that was 40 years ago :lol:

I remember one of the Boone brothers from USC hitting an absolute tank in the old box in a regional probably 90-92ish...

That one Jones hit Friday night in the dead air was unreal. Imagine how far that ball goes on 95 degree day with some wind blowing

For shear distance, the nuke shot Larson hit in Omaha to beat Rice has to up there and I saw Eddie Furniss hit one out at Ole Miss that looked like it landed on the tennis courts that were way out behind RF line back then.
Weller brothers...neither one was very big physically but both were throwing mid 80s early in high school. LO has a stable of dudes right now
Is Barbe where the two brothers that are committed to Tulane at now that were at Live Oak last year? The oldest was coming off TJ surgery. Should be Sr and Sophomore I think?

Nate Bumstead.


He is in the BTR because his son is same age as mine 16 and played against him for years in travel ball. He is an extremely talented 3B and bat. Big kid, also threw hard off the mound.
sounds like he has become Type 1 and its undiagnosed. His A1C is probably 12.5 or so and he is near being DKA

Could this have blown up in Woodwards face any more


Yes - If somehow McNeese wins a game or 2 and becomes the media darling of this tourney season then administration will likely crawl under a rock

Carb sensitive for him is more food specific honestly.

Try to eat very similar things on game or practice days because you know how they will react with activity. High fat is really the only thing that really messes him up. Mellow Mushroom pizza is not our friend

:lol:

I’m a Lily and Novo (biggest insulin producers) shareholder and get updates on Type 1 insulin and delivery systems they have in trial. Let your child know that good news is happening everyday. New automatic delivery systems, once a week insulin in a pill form, artificial pancreas implant et etc.


Great news, hoping it is sooner rather than later. Will say that just the dexcom itself has been a gamechanger with life. Been watching Bionic Pancreas for a number of years, he got it to market finally but was not able to find a way to use the glucagon side of it so it is a simplified pump, albeit with tubes.

I appreciate the information you are bringing. Update the board with it when you hear good stuff and thanks

He just turned 16 and was barely a year old when diagnosed. We try our best to never let it slow him down but people have no clue the level of planning and execution of nutrition to get his body prepared for sporting events. And just when the puzzle is figured out they grow, get sick, or whatever happens and you have to re-piece the puzzle back together.

For example game last year 125 before game, no fast acting insulin in body, 15 carb sandwich when walking up after game BS 125.

Last night 125 before game, no fast acting insulin in body, 15 carb sandwich when walking up after game BS 325. Slow release insulin is correct also and does not need to be adjusted up. No issues for last two years with this methodology before games or practice, this year its been similiar almost every game and practice. Just total failure on numbers. Tried without the 15 carb snack before one practice and crashed. Hard. Only people that understand is someone who deals with it.

Thanks Ark I appreciate the feedback. I will probably reach back out to you as we move on down this road. After years of managing it it will be hard for us to give up the control but we have to get him handling it more and to have some more freedom.

Insulin Pump for teen

Oldest son is T1D since very young age. he has always taken shots and wears a Dexcom which lets us see his blood sugar without physically checking his blood. Its time for a pump. He is high school and needs to have privacy and time away from us and not have to worry about carrying insulin and shots with him. Very active in sports, lift regularly Varsity baseball player.

Do any of you wear a pump or have active kids with a pump. he does not want one with tubes so we think the only option would be an omnipod. Next endo appointment is in June after ball is over as we do not want to transition during season. If we have a bad day or two learning the pump during showcase ball he can just pitch the next day.

pros or cons on omnipod and any thoughts on being a teenager with a pump with the tubes if you have a kid with one who is active or if you do.

thanks everyone for any input This board is the best for trying to help each other out with knowledge gained or learned
Pearland sent a kid to A&M last year didn't they?
Many thoughts that he is the brains behind KD success at every stop.
Was hoping he would stay on West Coast
Hire a renegade type who skirts the rules very closely and who is not afraid to ruffle any and all feathers.

In other words, a young Dale Brown, a Will Wade, a John Brady - those are the guys who won here.

The nice guys, the mid major guys don't work. This is not LSU football or Baseball job where being a great tactician can make up for some of the lack of other skills.

Who are the renegades out there now who cheated yet won everywhere they have bene and infuriated everyone. That's who you go hire. Find the next Kelvin Sampson or Bruce Pearl or Scott Drew or Coach Cal, or Rick Pitino. Hell go find a Nolan Richardson or Nate Oats type who destroys people on style of play and just absolute total piss and vinegar belief in himself and does not care what anyone thinks. Who do all the other coaches hate, who is blacklisted, who cheated and everyone knew it. Find him and bring him here. That's who will win at basketball at LSU.

To use a football example, we can't hire the equivalent of Brian Kelly for LSU Basketball. This is a Lane Kiffin job. We don't need a suit. We need the loud mouth self promoting renegade who has some coaching skills.
