Coaches should never call coaches buddy.

Name a football opinion that’ll have you like this…

Once had my carbon monoxide detector go haywire at 3AM when it was like 5 below. Got up a toddler and infant, huddled in our car while our fire department inspected the house. Come to find out a common spider caused the issue 😂

Why do the batteries in smoke detectors only seem to die in the middle of the night?

I really believe people are fed up with the bullshit: insurance, subscriptions, price gouging, massive profits, political parties, data breaches, endless virus threats, data centers, AI, among others. I really believe change is coming in one form or another. Buckle up.

PepsiCo, the parent company of Doritos, lost over $1 billion after raising the price of a bag of Doritos to $6-$7. People stopped buying them. They later lowered the price to recover some of the lost revenue, but sales are still down. I love that for them.

I can see that, unfortunately.
If you can watch it or hear about it, why do we need anything else?
Of course the point is good writers are telling stories that tell readers something they didn't see online or wherever.

@JP8185 The attitude from some schools these days is “we have our own website, our own socials and our own student broadcast. Why would we need coverage from anyone else?”

I believe I have reached the correct height and weight for a satin Bears jacket.

Bears fans…Target is getting serious. They’re selling legit Starter jackets both satin and pullover. Also Zubaz.

The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China.
But the GOP is fighting communism!

@BJenningsEdTech I don’t mind it. Tastes better than gas station coffee ⛽️

@AlHamnik That thing was ridiculous. I would get my big ass in there, can’t believe you did. When we got film from Gavit it would be from the pressbox and that crows nest would block the north end zone. 😂
English
Great guess!
You win an autographed Brian Jennings baseball.
It was the Gavit press box many, many moons ago.
Clark, Lowell, Portage and TF South boxes also were early nightmares.
Michigan City still is.

@AlHamnik @AnnouncerBrian @JP8185 Sounds like BNI’s pressbox. Or Gavit’s.

@OL_Meza Mushroom coffee made you cut down because it tastes so bad? 😂
English
@BJenningsEdTech I jumped on the trend. I could do 5 a day. Started drinking the mushroom coffee. Down to 1, 8oz cup.

@AnnouncerBrian @JP8185 This topic brings back such memories — good and bad. Try beating this one: As a very young writer, had to climb up a telephone pole parallel to press box, then extend my right hand and have someone 3 feet away “pull” me in.

I covered a South Central game there several years ago. It was SRO up there.

@JP8185 The old press box at Noll was a cracker box. I remember climbing up to the top as a kid during summer practices when my dad was AD and head football coach there.

Seems like our government has gotten this under control. They KNEW it was Taco Bell but now Taylor Farms they’re not too sure.

@JP8185 I think it’s that simple. Some simple communication, “hey what can we do for you” or “this is what we need if you can accommodate it” would go a long way. Problem is, both sides don’t know each other anymore.
English
This is all accurate.
Football, basketball, tournament level, out of area, I try to let people know someone is coming.
Generally, it's just signing in, but it helps alleviate any potential issues up front.

@Coach_Mar_2190 @JP8185 @AnnouncerBrian Think a lot of ADs don’t really get it, and they don’t know what they don’t know. Lots are overworked, under-valued and are trying to do their best with what they have. I think a simple discussion between the media and the school would solve a lot of problems, in general.

@JP8185 I remember when @AnnouncerBrian & I would set up for our baseball regional. We tried to accommodate as many people as possible from the media. It was hard. We did have to set up some media outside b/c of limited inside space. It did help that one of those two guys was a media guy
English
Most of us appreciate an honest effort being made by schools to be accommodating, whatever the circumstances, and don't ask for too much other than to be equally acknowledged for what we're doing. Media coverage has changed and some entities require more space.

@JP8185 I used to ask for a table on top of the box at Griffith for space and view purposes. Did it one time in a super-crowded box at Lincoln-Way East too. Again, awesome as long as it doesn't rain.
