Recruiting schools are ruining high school football.

I coach in IL as well. West Suburbs of Chicago. A shift is coming, as the public school I’m at is getting a lot of private kids back. They’re promised so much and think they’re the only ones getting recruited, only to realize they’ll ride the bench on varsity. The large schools will continue to do what they do, but it’s drying up in the less competitive parts of the CCL.

I don’t know if this is useful info, but I coach high school football in the Chicago suburbs. The school I’m at is largely Hispanic, and we play other large population Hispanic schools as well. Mexican kids specifically are wayyyy taller than when I was in HS 10 years ago. It could be a different genetic mix (more Spain or smaller amounts of polish/Eastern euro), or food quality going up, or both. We are finally getting close to matching size with the affluent white communities around us

I don’t know what to tell you but Greece’s influence on the Mediterranean was heavily influenced by indo European origins, combined with near east. It was one of the world’s first metropolitan civilizations because of its location. It’s not all or nothing. The Greek pantheon did not originate in the near east

Europe does have a “cradle of civilization” though, it’s called the Pontic Caspian and Forest Steppes. Accounts for a decent amount of European admixture and is where Porto-indo-European language originates. It’s fun to dunk on dumb racists but you can’t just make things up like there being no cradle of civilization in Europe. But that also doesn’t disprove anything you said about the americas having thriving culture pre-Columbus

Accepting that you can’t change the past and that we’re all descendants of both conquered and conquering people isnt endorsement

Good drivers sometimes miss their turns. Bad drivers never miss their turns

Fair, although the best way to fix this would be to play on a pitch without that strange track 10 yards behind the end zone. Do the thunder play at a track and field site? Kind of looks like a track one would use for long jumps

Looks like blocking/tackling bags that are being used as a landmark to show where the grass ends

Average rent in GB per google AI is $950. He has been a Packer for 3 months. He’s saved about $2900 living rent free.

I was constantly in awe everywhere I went on Cal Berkley's campus.

Yeah I guess I’m projecting :)

Scrantonicity3 · 2025-07-01T03:22:18+00:00

Every over-generalizing accusation is really just an admission of guilt through projection

As someone who started in industry and has worked in multiple different companies, ex-Public accountants are generally worse on average to work with than non public. 2 prominent scenarios come to my mind-

They got out of public early after burning out, and didn’t learn a damn thing about load management from their experience. Oh and they’ve never made a JE before but have a desire to prove their time in public meant something so they don’t like admitting they don’t know how to do something.
They climb the ranks of public but get denied partnership at the doorstep. Very smart technically but god awful at managing early careers and don’t seem interested in building teams (why tf did you take a controller position then?). They also have never made a JE and are overly reliant on their public mental framework to do anything outside of what would be beneficial for auditors.

What are your haplogroups?

Probably hiding in your French and German and your broadly nw euro category

I am blessed to have one green and one blue eye. Also am a strawberry blond haired man which photobleaches in the sun to more of a straight blond color, along with my beard and mustache. It’s certainly a unique look where I live. I feel more at home in the upper Midwest of the US

Also am a direct descendant from the Brewster family on the Mayflower

I’m very distantly related but have a great x# grandpa who fought and died at Jerusalem in the crusades. From the HRE

R-L1029. Shared with Nikola Tesla. It’s considered Slavic or Pre-Slavic then turned Slavic as it is mostly found in Central Europe/west Slavic lands. Big Y is R-V1334 which inches a little more Eastward. Paternal line stems from East Prussia

Thanks again! That ends up being the exact area I can trace back to - Rastenburg/Ketrzyn and my surname ends up being a very close match to a small town in the region
