football

Well, What is was was football!

There's a new offense in high school football. It's illegal under NCAA and NFL rules, but it's not as non-traditional as formations under arena football rules. This offense is called the A-11. It's announced objective is to allow smaller players in smaller schools with talent an opportunity to compete with teams from schools with more big players.

It's controversial because football is a bastion of tradition. Change comes very incrementally.

I offer a simply proposal to "level the playing field" especially at the J.H.S. and H.S. level: just handicap the big guys with weight like horses are handicapped.

Holy crap, but WFU just shut out FSU in Tallahassee, which would be the Seminoles' first shutout at home in more than 30 years, and their first shutout anywhere in the seemingly-endless career of FSU headcoach Bobby Bowden! Congrats to Wake, and good luck to Florida State fans in their upcoming head coach search! Link

Charlotte Mayor Pat McCrory says he wants to change the culture in Raleigh. I guess that's why he wrote this letter to PAC lobbyists asking for their fundraising help. Change you can believe in? Riiiiiiight. Join the conversation here.
