I wouldn't keep anything in this post-covid football world.

No pep rallies has been great. I don't like them even when we're winning, but it's even worse when you're losing. Speaking to the crowd when you got your arse kicked last week and about to get it kicked again in a few hours isn't very fun. Being able to do something productive during 7th period was nice.

I hated pep rallies to the point I became known to announce the football team by roster, say some Bill Belichick type words and then walk directly out of the gym after handing the mike to our captains. One year I read the roster in a terrible Obama voice and cadence. No one noticed. The only real kickback I got was when I refused to have a pep rally on a Friday afternoon before our 1st game in 2013. "But, we gotta fire the boys up!!" I said that's great, but we don't play until Saturday at 1pm and I don't really want to purposely screw our practice so the dance team can strip for the student body. Now, they have pep rallies almost every Friday. |

HS football needs to shorten the season and shorten the playoffs in most states. Seeing HS kids play as many games as college players makes ZERO sense. Zoom meetings, less meetings, less practice time is a must-have. Hoping #GrindSZN is dead (doubt it) I think grind is fake. Most people don’t have a clue as to what that means if done correctly. People think watching film for 10 hours (why the hell would any HS coach watch that much horribly filmed film of meh football is beyond me) is a 'grind' because they've never had to do something that actually puts you under physical, emotional and mental duress. But hey, it's a great way to avoid your family, right? |

To be more clear, it’s not family that is at issue. |

Worked with a guy once who would park his car outside the school on the weekends and have his wife or friends pick him up so people would see his "dedication" to the grind. Sad part is, people bought it. |

No handshakes at the end of the games were nice. I’m all for sportsmanship, but the majority of the “brewhahas” I’ve seen between players or coaches has happened during the hand shake line. Not having to mess with this was actually pretty nice. What about having to meet your opponent in a non competitive situation and show respect, poise, and composure? You're right, the handshake line is when a lot of dust ups happen but its also a learning experience. |

Once had an opposing player call me a Richard for "keep running your RB". We only won 56-34 and they were still running no huddle chuck it down that much with 2 mins left in the 4th. It was the only way to run clock. So what if our Rb ended with 410uds rushing? |

Our league implemented a 7 on 7 two hand touch league for the fall.
I wouldn't mind if we did this as a "spring ball" thing. Def a PIA for the coaches to prep for a game but it was fun for the kids to get up and moving/ have a game to look forward to.

There are other sports besides high school football? Do they have coaches and fans also? There is no way they can develop the whole child like football can. |

Our players got to go to the 10, but coaches was still the 25. Honestly, it was still nice though because you didn't have the mass gathering between the 25-30 yard line when we were in the redzone. I've been in favor of extending the zone for years. In smaller stadiums the stands can be pretty close to the bench area. The team can get pretty packed into a relatively small area and can be a safety hazard. |

But that's because I'm drinking Friday night, not grinding. |

I mean why is the box not goalline to goalline. Fine if it is just 10 to 10. It used to be 30 to 30 and then got changed to 25 to 25. I literally have no idea why it hasn't been 10 to 10. I somewhat get the reason for not goalline to goalline. I could see where it could be problematic for officials and calling touchdowns, etc. I can see where the media needs a place to be and take pictures or whatever. But 25 to 25 is just stupid. |

Joking about the 11:30 not the field house drinking |

He, while eating Cheetos, mentioned it to my buddy who is a huge collector with some valuable stuff. The guy looked like he saw a ghost. |
