Sumrall

The amount of people in this thread who don't understand that the demographic adjustment isn't the same as affirmative action type practices is mind numbing.

Mississippi and Louisiana has lots of idiots. They adjust for that fact for states with less idiots. They then compare the scores to determine which idiots are actually being taught well. It's a grade of the teaching quality, not the results of the students.

Arkansas had a total team collapse last night in the 9th and no way that one kid should shoulder all the blame.

Hmmmmm

Interesting feedback. I'm sure this happens in every sport in every city to some degree. It at least sounds like if a kid really wants it and improves to a level that they can't co unnoticed, they'll eventually get their shot.

Completely new to the board, sorry if this is not the place for this post, but here goes. I'm looking for some advice/expectations/direction on any parents familiar with BRSC youth competitive program. This is also coming from someone who did not grow up playing soccer.

My daughter just finished her first year of BRSC pre-competitive program this year and really loved it. She had never done it before, only some dad coached rec soccer with classmates. Because of a late December birthday and yet-to-change age group rules, she had to try out for the competitive program even though she will only be a 10 year old 5th grader this coming fall season.

She was hopeful that she would make the second division "red" team, but found out she was placed on the third division "maroon" team. I understand she was late to the game and shouldn't expect her to be competing with more competent players, but looking for some feedback on what all this means. Does her lacking the experience right now and being in a lower level more or less prevent her from ever rising up in later years? What is the major skill or play differences between the different divisions, and does playing "lower skill" players in the third division make it much harder for her to improve and compete up? Can we expect quality development just from being out there competing each weekend and practicing with real coaches every week?

I have no delusions of her being a top-flight soccer player, but she really loves the game and was very upset thinking she's on the "bad" team now. I think an achievable goal is to be good enough to make her middle and high school soccer teams one day, and not just the kind that has no talent and you're on basically by default. Any feedback for those familiar with the club or the youth soccer scene in general would be great.

Only traditional king cakes with cinnamon, cream, or fruit filling, sugar frosting and sprinkles should be called king cakes.

"Caramel Macchiato" with a whipped cream topping, caramel syrup and pecans on top is not a real king cake. Coconut cream pie is not a real king cake. These can be tasty in their own right, but they are just king cake shaped desserts.

What says the OT?

As an aside, boudin is also not a king cake, regardless of how much I might eat one brought in to the break room.

Upvote - Carrol deciding to throw from the 1 yard line instead of handing off to Lynch to win the Super Bowl?

Downvote - Sark calling for a toss sweep from the 1 yard line instead of having Arch take the snap and rush for the tying TD?

Carrol's is clearly more consequential, but let's discuss which individual play is a dumber call.

I didn't think he could get more annoying but this game has been even worse than normal.

"College educated" just means high likelihood of liberal indoctrination. Every idiot gets a government backed loan to go to college now. Most college grads are bigger idiots leaving than entering and clueless about the real world.

Candy going to be at LSU after they already have 3+ losses and BK loses the team.
