@dustfink He’s doing a great job!! He worked a HS varsity boys game for me in STL last year where the oldest guy on the crew was 25.

@CoachTM9 I left an AD job after 10 yrs. We had nice stuff. I gave a few select things away and then sent an all staff email out. Told them the box was in my office and it was first come first serve. They flocked to my office…😂

Only thing missing is the jet skis and dolphins that were in the Rams Riverfront Mockup Stadium

[Alexander @Rustyspooge]

Oh man this would be great. Had chatgpt create a 25k seat stadium on the riverfront. $300-350 million all in 🥸. @RepoleStable @BattlehawksUFL @TheUFL

Jim Edmonds forces Game 7 with a 12th inning walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 2004 NLCS. Absolutely iconic.

@PowerMizzoucom Beside humidity I wonder if the wind is blowing warning track/infield dust onto court. The ramp from 3rd base dugout is covered in dust.

@HailVarsity Almost had it…can’t see home plate..

@fryedaddy16 @Super70sSports Great song. Not sure if it’s Hit status but definitely a one hit wonder

[Tony Richards @tonyrichards4]

RIP and respect for Mr Fuji who passed away on this date in Pro Wrestling History, August 28th, 2016 at the age of 82. A Hawaiian-born wrestler of Japanese and Native Hawaiian descent, Fuji was a hated heel known for throwing salt in opponents’ eyes. As an in-ring competitor he was a five-time WWWF World Tag Team Champion—three times with Professor Toru Tanaka and twice with Mr. Saito—before becoming one of the WWF’s most recognizable managers.

As a manager he guided stars such as Don Muraco, Demolition, and Yokozuna. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2007 and died on August 28, 2016.
A classic salt-throwing villain who had a long second act as a cane-wielding manager.

Behind every successful high school athletic program is an activities director carrying responsibilities most people never see.

They hire and evaluate coaches. Manage budgets, transportation, facilities, eligibility, payroll and event operations. They oversee athletics, fine arts and student activities—often while navigating criticism, conflict and impossible expectations.

A powerful Minnesota Star Tribune article highlights a growing crisis: Since last August, 75 activities director positions have become vacant in Minnesota—approximately 15% of the state’s high schools with an AD position.

That is not simply turnover. It is a warning.

Activities directors love serving students and making a difference. But passion cannot indefinitely overcome 60-hour workweeks, 90–110 nights away from home, inadequate compensation, limited onboarding and relentless public pressure.

If we want strong education-based athletic programs, we must support the people leading them.

That means:

• Sustainable job expectations
• Competitive compensation
• Effective onboarding and mentorship
• Adequate administrative support
• Professional development
• Respect from parents, coaches and communities
We cannot continue adding responsibilities to the position and then act surprised when talented leaders walk away.
Supporting activities directors is not merely an employment issue. It is an investment in coaches, students, families and the future of education-based athletics.
Every superintendent, school board member, coach and parent should read this article.

@gatewaygrinders @PGATOUR I went to the St. Jude 3-4 years ago and it’s been a regular stop. It was really cool but you could tell it was just another event. I’d rather see STL get an event 3-4 yrs apart and it be a huge deal.

Imagine going to Costco for a hot dog and a Coke and coming home with a $3,000 sauna.

I was at the Arena for this title change..

August 16, 1986: Following Tully Blanchard's attack on Dusty Rhodes' leg, the World Champion is in bad shape leading into his title match against Ric Flair last Saturday night in St Louis. And, it ends with Flair regaining the belt - and then crowing about it to Bob Caudle.

@coachprburkhead Not quite the same but when I quit officiating HS basketball I created a list or all the schools I worked at and for over 28 years.
83 different gyms/schools worked in
185 different schools
Appx 550 schools playing basketball in Missouri. Wish I would have journaled all games.
