I might just be worn out from that Designing Women marathon on the 17th.

I want to watch, but there's no guarantee. Could be a major scheduling conflict on the TV if this baby runs over into Sunday. http://www.flwoutdoors.com/bassfishing/bfl/tournament/2014/7187/mississippi-river-la-crosse-details/

He was a Holtz recruit, therefore, he probably won't even be able to play for a DII team.

Wait, is it time to care yet? This thread started by telling me its "almost time" to care, but never followed through on letting me know if the time had arrived.

Nope. All state. Texas is stoopid.

Coach O threw out one of the first pitches. Suffice it to say that his baseball skills are limited. So Prado put him in the starting lineup?

I was all about this idea, but smazza brought up such a good point, I changed my mind.

We are, but would be doing a lot better with you back on the beat... Bet you're kicking yourself a little for not being on deck for the recent momentous changes? Just like Manziel is going to be kicking himself for going pro. Greg is the Johnny Football of sports reporting.

I was thinking more Star Trek vs Star Wars ... Publix subs? Publix fried chicken Publix hot and spicy wings.

They also make a wing thats 80% breading and costs about $1.50 apiece. Pass. The girls at Hattrick's downtown are cuter and the food is better. Agreed on Hattricks. It's my favorite indie sports bar in Tampa Bay. The place has the best combination of talent, pub grub, and ambiance. Yes, I just used "ambiance" to describe a sports bar. And you crushed it.

I remember when there was just one Beef's and one Hooter's on the planet. I am getting old. I worked - as a Dishwasher - at the 2nd Hooters. Lakeland South I worked the Lakeland South Beef's. Worst 5 months I ever spent on a job. Still love the food though I must have misread that post...you love Hooters food? When did I mention Hooters? I saw Lakeland South and connected it to the previous post about working at Hooters. And you should mention "hooters" at least 3 times a day.

Yeah you would. Because a 4.0 is the new 2.0 gpa. Sadly, this is accurate...although usually only at privileged schools who can afford to offer more AP courses. Some might be shocked to know that AP courses are now often on a six-point scale, so getting a C is equivalent to a 4.0. Honors are often on a 5 point scale. So this incoming class could potentially have a lot of Bs and Cs in their GPAs. Sad to see the privilege gap continue to widen in education. Unless things have changed since I was teaching in Florida public schools a decade ago, a decent amount of funding used to be tied to number of kids enrolled in AP classes, not just number/percent passing the test. It benefited both the students and the school to put as many kids as possible in AP seats even if they were severely overmatched by the curriculum and had no possibility of passing and getting the college credit. Also, a lot of seniors realized that the AP scores for senior classes don't come in until AFTER college acceptance letters go out, so just taking the class showed up on the transcript and served their purpose.

OCS?

WHAT A waste of everyone's time Yeah. **** that guy. Like I don't have anything better to do!

So is McCullough joining Oliver and Rod? Or is McCullough the only confirmed hire so far?

To be fair, prior to several years ago, writing was not on the SAT at all - so I'm not sure that the trend you are noting is entirely accurate. But it does in fact currently exist. Anyone in higher education can attest to how atrocious writing skills are these days compared to even 10 years ago. Colleges have a way to take a look at writing skills prior to the student getting on campus. Yet, it is optional? I should remove "now " from my original post.

Yeah you would. Because a 4.0 is the new 2.0 gpa.

They always revamp it when report card grade inflation outpaces SAT scores by too much.

Saw this chart floating around and figured it went with the discussion. For the more visually inclined.

Makes me proud to be involved in education. Writing is now "optional" when showing a college what kind of skills you have. Or it the academic equivalent of a QB not throwing at the NFL combine?

I don't want to be a Debbie Downer here, but the national average for the SAT is now 1500 (out of a possible 2400) on the new scale. Are you sure those numbers are right? http://research.collegeboard.org/programs/sat/data/cb-seniors-2013

Seminole Heights has a pretty good amount of homes for rent that can be had for the same price as an apartment.

His birth certificate says he was 10...
