Prayers for Brandon Football and Family

[parabrave]

The worst I saw was 2 players discussed rolling the yard of the band director. The football coach heard about it and told them not to do it. A few days later, they did it anyway. I've never witnessed anything like what he put them through the next week in practice. It was probably criminal.

Well in Biloxi there were a number of bars owned by Alumni and they treated us players really well.

I think whether a kid should work a summer job or not is a conversation that needs to take place between the kid and the parent. Personally, I would prefer my kid to work part time when they turn start high school and pick one sport to focus on. Some of these kids don?t maximize their potential in a sport because they are trying to juggle too much. Participating in 1 sport and working 16-20 hours a week gives a kid a sense of structure and appreciation for money. Obviously, their school work needs to come first though.

It?s a different world now thanks to technology.

We have an app in which the entire team is a part of for communication purposes about practice, school, or anything football related. I woke up the other morning to 77 messages that started at 3:48am about ?who up? and ?u ain?t nevah beat me in 2K?(NBA 2K on PS). 9 different players arguing as they play online at 4am.

We have 35 or so players- maybe 5-6 have jobs this summer. I promise you that total is not low because of summer workouts.

It's probably not but there are probably a few where it makes a difference, or at least gives them an excuse to tell their parents why they can't work. And most areas in Mississippi are not chock full of high school students from families that are so affluent that the kids shouldn't be working in the summer.

Hardest I ever got hit was by a farm boy from George county. I asked him what type of weight training did they do. He said loading bales of hay into a barn

Yeah they ain't nothing like it accept maybe hauling pulpwood. Done both.

[Commercecomet24]

No

I just was raised differently. My “summer job” was playing baseball. We played about 60 games in the summer of legion ball. And that’s in the mid-80’s. I was not allowed to work until the summer after I graduated HS. It paid off as my 1st 2 years of college were free thanks to my ACT score and a baseball scholly.

You lucky dog. I did the same thing playing league and legion ball all summer but I was expected to work on the farm too.

Welllllllllllll, I did have to mow the yard with a pushmower. We were poor.

My Dad said that he would buy me a pushmower & pay for gas, oil, and any mower repairs in late '60's when I was a pre-teen. I was to keep journal of income/expenses. I booked my yards $2.50 for small yard, $5.00 for large ( very hard to get). I was very rough on the mower. At end of summer, Dad asked to see journal and upon viewing, said he would match my income to not mow next summer! Summer I was 16, "bundle boy" in local garment factory, $1.60/hr minimum wage. 1st check over $60 and thought I was rich!

Good for you and of course your dad! I think minimum was $1.25 for me, I could either fill up my VW or buy a 6-Pack of cold beer!

This. However, once football two-a-days officially started my dad let me out of the hayfield. I think I was the only happy guy during two-a-days. Anything to get out of the hell on earth that was the hayfield in a Mississippi summer circa 1986-89.

Not quite that old lol!

[basedog]

I guess I was made different than many of you guys. I played all sports, there was no way I could have played just one sport back in my day, I guess I was more athletic than most on ED***

Btw, I had summer jobs also, usually say 8-1:00. Also, I think basketball is easier to play all year around, mostly because you are inside.

Has an official cause of death been reported yet?

Apparently he took a vaccine, but idk***

[Lord McBuckethead]

Wonder if this is another case of a vaccinated youngster dropping dead

This comment is just pathetic.

Also, grow the 17 up.

What the hell do you mean? Deaths are up 40% in the 17-35 range over a couple of years ago. What do suspect is causing it? All those soccer players dropping dead is just a coincidence huh?
