    Yeah, really nice. 

    The cheerleaders were practicing inside and a security was only going to let us take a photo of the Hinkle Fieldhouse placard (above) and then shoo us out of the concourse, but the cheerleading coach walked into the building about that time and invited us to come in and take photos of the interior if I wanted. 

    There was ZERO opportunity of sneaking photos of the cheerleaders without being busted for perving, so I just acted like I was NOT a starving mongrel dog in a meat locker and concentrated on taking structural photos without creeping. (Oh… but I wanted to just perv away. 😅)

    No cheerleaders when I went there.  My two brothers in law & I went to the bookstore on game day and they actually let us shoot a few hoops .  CSB.

    Visited Butler University when in Indianapolis 2+ years after our fantasy football draft in Louisville.

    A former Butler girls soccer player showed me around.

    Saw the Hinkle Fieldhouse where they filmed the last basketball game in “Hoosiers”.

    And the soccer field next to the field house with the soccer girls’ dorms just beyond it.

    And because there are rules, here’s my amiga on the steps of the war memorial in the middle of Indianapolis that has tons of Masonic characteristics and is where her morning exercise group meets for much of the year.

    Hinkle is an awesome venue.  People were very friendly when I visited also.

    SEC! SEC! SEC! ... oops!

    That's what I think about when I see HS football in Texas. Pay for play teams, and "towns" with a single HS team that recruits players and keeps 100% of the tax revenue for one school and one team. 

    Texas HS football used to be about stars from normal teams who built a following for leading their teams into the playoffs, Joe Washington & Earl & Billy Simms & Todd Dodge & Donnie Little & VY and ...

     If Katy & Cypress & Sugar Land & Alief & Pearland only had one select high school instead of 10 schools sharing players and resources within the same district, perhaps Texas HS football would look more representative. 

    De Soto and Duncanville looked good yesterday.  But let's not pretend they are playing by the same set of rules as everybody else. 

     

    Duncanville ISD decided back in the 80's not to go to two high schools.  It is a bedroom community without much retail or industry.  The merchants were staunchly opposed to two high schools because it would mean two band bossters, two football boosters, etc. vying for donations.  It has had the effect of making a sports juggernaut, but that was an unintended consequence of an economic decision.

    And if you are talking about transfers, please spare me that other schools don't do this on a regular basis.  I can cite examples, but I am hoping that this isn't your point.

    The way Gunter played also hurt them.  That little QB is legit.
