I'm assuming the move was to play club, here in Iowa you are supposed to have to sit out a year if you purposely move schools for sports (school sports though). There is an elite 14-15yr old player who lives and home schools in Ankeny to be able to play for an elite club out of Omaha. A friend who has a daughter that played on our club 14 A team said when that team played at tournaments there were multiple D1 coaches watching her.

I'm working on mine, need CG to post some inspiration to beat her at push ups again or something.
Not quite Emily status yet. The daughter who plays sports has impressive muscles. They were at lifting one morning and a friend says to her, "You could cut diamonds with those calves!" We give her a bad time because she often toe walks around the house, but I think she is secretly onto something--perpetual calf raises.
Wait till you watch a 50th Anniversary theater run of something you saw as a first run, then you know you are getting old.

Not particularly looking forward to THAT. I already find myself doing it with music all the time. But when you have two options - getting old or getting dead - the getting older is usually preferable.
I'm not sure who chewed more scenery in that one - Shatner or Montalban. But it's a guilty pleasure. I just don't think I can talk PapaLew into it. He'll barely watch on the television.Went to see "The Spy Who Loved Me" at Movies 12 last night for part of their classic series. Had forgotten that Bond film turned 40 this year.
Coming up (September 13), Movies 12 is showing the 35th anniversary director's cut of "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." They showed it last year (I think) randomly and we missed going because we lost track of the days that particular week. I DID get to see it on the big screen when it was first released, then a couple years ago in one of those grand old movie houses in San Francisco. If you're a fan of ST:TWOK, you gotta go see it in the theater - totally worth it.
This is fairly common. My now former boss drives her daughter 2-3 nights a week to Ames to play on Iowa Attack (basketball). Unless she gets crazy good she won't be D1 though. I can't remember who their son played for club wise but I don't think there is a club team local here in CR. He is at Central Michigan now though.
the whole thing is odd because it said she lived in IL (and there is video of her playing our hometowns from last fall), but the article said she attended a Dubuque high school and played club in IC. The article spelled the dad's name wrong so maybe it got the Dubuque thing wrong too. It would make more sense that they moved for club but at that point I don't know why they wouldn't have just moved closer to Chicago and the big time clubs there. Unless she wouldn't have a good shot at those.
reread the article, the Dubuque bit is that they were going to move to Dubuque for this season if they hadn't come up here.
I'd love to see Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen! Up until college, I had never seen Gone With the Wind or The Wizard of Oz on big screen until I took a film appreciation course. I was blown away at the difference in impact.Wait till you watch a 50th Anniversary theater run of something you saw as a first run, then you know you are getting old.

I've known of two different families that moved so their son could play high school football for a better team. One of my wife's co-workers rented a crappy appt that they never used just so he could claim residency for his son to attend and play football at a better school.
Financially, if you can guarantee a full-ride scholarship to a good school, something like that may be worth it, but that's a helluva lot of pressure to put on a kid. I'll leave the other whole "horribleness of youth sports" argument alone.
It doesn't sound like the guy in your example is that concerned about money, though.
Let me preface this by saying I like Lawrence of Arabia.Wait till you watch a 50th Anniversary theater run of something you saw as a first run, then you know you are getting old.

Middle and high school me used to watch a movie called Hollywood Knights quite often (it did not age well). There's a scene where one of the characters sings lyrics to the Lawrence of Arabia theme song. Lawrence... Lawrence of Arabia. He's an English guy. He came to fight the Turkish. To this day, anytime I hear Lawrence of Arabia, this silly rendition of the theme song is stuck in my head for hours.
Either Gone with the Wind or The Sound of Music were most likely the first movie I saw in the theater. When they got married in Sound of Music and the camera panned up to the bells I stood up because I thought it was over. Man that was a long movie for a kid. Not like GWTW was a short.I'd love to see Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen!

MRI back. I'm sick. Complete ACL tear with partial MCL. School year gone. No football, almost a lock for state wrestling, state track in jeopardy. I haven't told him yet, not sure how.
That is such a tough break. I have no idea how to tell him. There's no easy way so I guess just straight forward sit him down and tell him the results came back and they aren't good.
Oh hell. Sorry to hear that BC. It'll be rough to hear and he'll have a long road to recover, but I've seen much old people recover and are now 100%.
