Okay. Isn't Ed (and UCLA) in bed with Under Armor, not Adidas?
I said it yesterday somewhere that if Adidas is doing this I would bet a bunch of money that the others were doing it as well. No way one would not have turned the other over if they were not all involved.
II know Eddie pretty well ... I was at his last wedding ... if he is dirty, I will be astonished ... really, he's a truly great guy ... but I am prejudiced.
As an IU fan, that allows me to exhale just a little bit...but now you'll be in trouble with the rest of the board
If I'm in trouble for the friends I have had for thrity years ... so be it ... I've been friends with Eddie since he was at Western Boone HS. He helped my son get a D1 schollie. I worked with him in the BARN prepping college guys get drafted higher, I talked with him the day that Steve offered him the UCLA job.As an IU fan, that allows me to exhale just a little bit...but now you'll be in trouble with the rest of the board
Glad to have you on the good side now...even if it took you the better part of your life to fully make the conversion!
There is NO correlation between Eddie and Tark .... but please read about Tarkanian. About the player who couldn;t use Tark's phone to call his Mom when his Mom was dying. Or how Tark's wife cooked dinner for the players on Sunday's when the cafeterias were closed. Tark recuited from the playgrounds of Watts and other super bad neighborhoods ... did he cheat? or did he help a few kids get out of the hell of Watts?
I was never an IU guy -- I am a purdue grad. My daughter and son-in-law were cheerleaders with Glenn ... my wife and two other sons are PU grads .... I was just available to Knight for a few years and he was good to me ...Glad to have you on the good side now...even if it took you the better part of your life to fully make the conversion!
Gotcha. I have a sister and brother in law that were cheerleaders in the late 90's and early 2000's. Small world!
Small world. HHS was a huge part of my life at one time ... but not so much at those times .....
If I stay in teaching for the rest of my life, I'll probably never leave unless I get an offer I can't refuse for an AD job or a big increase in teaching salary. The school environment here is just incredibly awesome. Really wish some of our society would come and take a peek at what can happen in education when you have the culture we have here with our faculty, our kids, and our parents. It isn't perfect but it should be a model for how public education can be a solution instead of the stupid school choice/charter schools that we have yet to see results that better than those of public schools. IMO, just another way to segregate society based on ability and economics rather than race.
I teach at the college level, my wife is a SpecEd coordinator, our daugter is a counselor at a HS with 4k students (not a mistype) who has all the athletes as her kids, another daughter is a pre-K specialist for a large school corp. HHS graduated 7 of my kids. Dave and VanArsdel and JG were parts of my life for 20 years. I have super mixed feelings. but that's fine. I'm super proud that you are there and that you are influencing young people's lives. I honestly don't care what school you are at ... just keep on keepin' on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sean is Archie's brother who is the HC at Arizona. Has led them to some success but arguably under achieves with the talent level he is able to grab there.
LOL --- I may have sat in your living room .... geez ... but I really like your dad and I truly like who you are and am glad you are at HHS.
I thought having tryouts like you describe has been against the rules for years. ?
no rules during July ... The players are all home on Tuesdays and Wednesdays ... off to the tourneys on the weekends.
