just keep in mind the thickness of the door. the existing door is more than likely 1 3/4". if you go somewhere and tell them you want an "interior door" to replace the existing door it will more than likely be 1 3/8". this may cause an issue on the lock and hinges if you keep the same frame.

If money is the problem, why can't she promote the program enough to get the money she needs?

thats pretty easy in theory but obviously much harder to actually do. florida state lost a 3 year starter who was a finalist for player of the year. she committed to texas yesterday. i dont know anything about florida state's nil situation but they have a better than average softball program so i would assume they take it pretty seriously. my guess is texas threw a ridiculous amount of money to her that was too hard to pass up, so she took the money. which leads me to believe that whoever else was recruiting her lost out on a shortstop creating a market for edwards. she was probably offered money that she couldnt pass up by schools that are throwing much more money around that schools like florida state and lsu cant compete with. how do you defense against that? you cant. certain schools have taken the approach in softball that no amount is too much and they play by different rules than the rest of the country. you can promote your program all you want but money is the only thing that talks anymore. until there is some sort of salary cap or limits on what schools can give out then this will happen year after year.

i love lsu and love wade but i absolutely hate this. this isnt college sports. i know what the rules are and all of this is within the rules, but that doesnt make it feel any better. i thought it was absurd last year when the guy at bama was allowed to play and i dont really find some of these guys any different. maybe i'm just getting older and came up in a different time but i wish there were someway to get ahold of all this nonsense and do it in a way that makes sense.

4th state championship appearance in the past 6 seasons.

Impressed how they schedule Curtis and ARCA.

curtis has paid them the last two years to go there and play.

that along with doing 30mph in the on ramp to the interstate and trying how to figure out how to merge with people doing 70+mph.

so you are saying that some have developed and some haven't? maybe he's spent the better part of a year trying to get those that haven't developed trying to get them to buy into what he's preaching and it hasn't worked. he may have had exhausted every possible way to get them to buy in and nothing has worked so he's had to resort into the public humiliation route. in all of the time has has been here he has had nothing but praise and admiration of any player he's spoken about publicly. he has never once come close to what he said after the game friday night. that tells me that he's at the end of his rope with it and his last ditch effort to motivate those players is speak on it publicly. i have no idea what's going on but it was just extremely out of character for him so i'm just trying to rationalize why he said it.

There was apparently a video out there

---

the video i saw was basically focused on him in the third base coaches box and you can't see the play that happened but it appears that the call went against him so he: threw his hat, pulled off his coaches shirt, then the shirt he had on underneath that (leaving him completely shirtless), and motioned and yelled towards the umpire that made the call. immediately tossed. i dont really care about the call or the situation, anyone who reacts that way should lose their job. no questions asked.

agreed. i was just so surprised because i have never seen a district done that way.

because some are select and some are non select
