KU athletic director presses case for Rock Chalk Park
May be the most ignorant post I've ever seen. Would you like me to name all the scandals that have happen without athletes involved. Be real. Nothing say's I have no creditability or nothing to say like this kind of post. Congrats

Years in Japan shape KU forward Landen Lucas' outlook
What an ignorant comment SFBayhawk. Just because someone can speak the language doesn't mean they don't need continued education in the language. You probably took 13 years of English if you grew up in the US.

Opinion: Lions’ heart, team play make up for shorter stature
Well done LHS. I think FSHS helped by playing a 1-3-1 trap against 5 Guards on the floor. EVERYONE in the gym knew you had to have someone on Jake the whole game. Good luck the rest of the way. Pray4Zay

Opinion: Firebirds' late-season letdown serves as lesson
I thought this was a good article. The LHS reference was terrible. haha I can see how that pops into your brain as interesting but you really need to real that one back in. My son does play on the Free State team and I've been to ever game. Friday night I did feel like we as a whole team made some crucial mistakes. That's part of the game. I do believe we didn't respond well after being hit in the mouth like we have before and that was unfortunate. There is a lot to learn from that game for everyone in both football and life. Now is the time for the Firebirds to truthfully evaluate what they did right and where they need to get better. Write it down now and remember the feeling. Tom is right, the Jr class has plenty of talent, but if they don't pay attention to detail and realize the focus and practice tempo it takes week in and week out to make the state run, they could be reliving this feeling all over again. FreeStateFan your comments are obviously personal. I think Coach Lisher is a good enough coach to know there are places he too can get better, there is room for improvement for everyone. But I have never seen him miss a block,miss a tackle,drop a pass, throw the ball bad etc. The blame isn't all his. So if you don't like OUR coach drop the "FreeStateFan" name and call yourself something else. We got a coach and we aren't looking for another one. We will get better go back to work. We will challenge our present Jr's leadership to demand more focus and toughness to achieve our fight for a state championship.We appreciate our Senior class for the direction they took our team.

Opinion: Bring back wishbone
The biggest problem with the wishbone now a days compared to the past is the speed and size of the defense. QB's can't take the multiple hits from the OLB's and DE's due to the increased size. That is why the spread is so good. It was brought to us by a wishbone coach. The spread is the wishbone with players lined up in the advanced spots. With the read option you get in essence the "fullback play on the give, the QB keep and the WR is your pitch man. You start with players spread witch gives you a chance to attack the perimeter right away. Coaches mess it up when they put a QB who can't run and try to throw it down the field all the time.The old style wishbone puts too many hits on your QB. Remember old Oklahoma Qb's getting creamed just as they pitched. You wouldn't last long doing that today. But a small package never hurts.

Letter: Policy a burden
OK it seems like the scout leader should get his fact finding merit badge. My son plays for the team and this letter is totally off base. There is summer work outs during the summer which are used to prepare the players for the season. Although, like most clubs/sports, they are highly recommended, they are not mandatory. Coach Lisher gives two full weeks of vacation to all the athletes. That would be enough time to fit in your trip. On top of that, you can miss more than two weeks you would just be required to run the half mile. We have unfortunately had starters at Free State who have had to run the half mile. So you scouts have a choice. If they choose workouts maybe they don't have the heart to tell you that that is where they want to be. I'm sure you have some attendance requirements as to who gets to go on these trips. I've been a part of scouts and they didn't let kids with bad attendance go on trips so you probably understand. You should get your "I'm sorry for being wrong" merit badge also. Free State Football
