Why?

Sluggo

You would be surprised how many idiot parents there are out there---we have not invited some super players to join our team because of the parental baggage that came with them

Finally!! I have heard SO many parents say, "The coach is an Idiot"! We finally have a coach who's not afraid to tell us who the REAL Idiots are!
That might be the first time I recall a coach calling the parents idiots and it just struck me funny! Makes a lot more sense though...
Seriously, how many idiot parents would be hired to coach?

IB

You neglected to mention from my post that we have not invited players because of the parental situation.

Our parents dine together and hang out during our weekend trips--in fact my self and my coaching staff have had dinner with many of them

They are all with us for the same purpose---to see each others son succeed

TPM,

Thanks for passing that along. It did make my day.

And O - First - it was Yadier - Then It was "Ya Gotta Bereave" - LOL

You are killin me O - you are killin me.

P.S. I am cooking tonight - annual neighborhood Itsinthegame CookFest. 32 people.

Ouch.

See ya tomorrow.

If only you'd told me about the cookfest earlier...could've been 33 people!

35, But I am always late.

Cookfest Question...Its..

Wanted to join in like the other new cookfesters...

I have been spending lots of money going to Cookfest Cookcases...had a national Cookfest West Coast Cookfest ranking when I was 9...Posted my pictures on the HSCFW (High School Cookfest Website)..until the politics got too hot and heavy...

For the last year I have been receiving your letters, and I waited all day for my Cookfest scholarship call July 1...

Got a couple other offers, took two official Cookfest visits but not a good fit and not my dream Cookfest...

Now I see that there are 35 Cooksters...and I am worried...Last year I know there were 45 Cooksters on the roster...Now isn't there some new rules come down from the NCAA, Parental Cookfest Study committee...regarding the New Coookfest roster sizes? 35 Cookfesters maximum?...

In that regard, I need to know..how many official Cookfest counters and how many recruited Cookfest walk on's this year? Can I walk on?

Please advise...

OB,
Why not trying to cook your way on?

iitg has some great moose recipes! Might get you a bit more than the 25%.

BTW, meals are NOT included, however you are given some extra $$ to buy needed ingredients for your meals for practice. Apron and Chef's hat included, you provide your own utensils.

.
TPM...

Excellent idea! But aren't Moose recipes illegal influence? Will the Cookfest Compliance Department approve them?

Yes, you can accept moose without losing your eligibility.
However I heard you have to stay away from the cooking channel, caught cheating if you copy a recipe.
Also, coaches do allow the use of alcohol in all recipes.
Don't get caught using those fake margarines or hydrogenated oils, might show up in a urine test after competition and could make your head one size larger!

I will be carefull trying to "cook on" without significant meat money. You could end up being a cupboard organizer, or even worse, forced to transfer to a Wendys or White Castle.

Keep in mind, if you can't be one of the 27 or 8 walk ons in a cook fest there are many other avenues to consider. Seafood Fests, Harvest fests, holiday fests, chili fests, cajun fests, pumpkin fests, spring fests all over good programs and opportunities.
One might even get lucky and eventually get drafted for the BIGFEST.

for those of us not able to make it in the ncaa cookfest, i've found the eatfest much easier to get into. naia - national assoc. of insatiable appitites. the food isn't as good ,and no meal money.but the education is every bit as good. i have been practicing day and night for the holliday season, i'm about 2 pork chops away from 280 and feel really good about the t-day bowl.

20Dad,
Yikes I forgot about the NAIA (National Assosiation of Insatiable Appetities). Some people think that this program is not as good as the larger cookfest programs. Like comparing Longhorn's to Burger King, but I find some of them more equivalent to Outback.

Is this the place for dinner TR?

Pretty sure I've been there a few times!

Innocent Bystander...party of five ...your table is ready.

Wow, wasn't even aware that pic was taken! But anyways, there we are! TR, my good buddy Rick and some hot babes, what a wild night!
