Leave it to the DE to make this as complicated as humanly possible and for making a decision and sticking to it. They get the left over money right?

They also made a change and said you could either do fall or spring testing with ITBS. Before, it was spring only. What I haven't heard for sure yet is if you can pay for your additional tested with your grant money that we should be using to better our education, not the testing of it. Has that been said yet? As for Drew Pearson, not sure that I have enough information to allow your retraction!!!

I've been to the ICN meetings, that was never said. It just had to be administered in a fall/spring sequence. Someone please correct me. And a retraction. Drew Pearson did not push off... I watched the vid a few weeks ago, he simple stopped moving his feet and his upper body momentum finished him off. Saw the same motion in another game a few weeks ago, same thing happened to the d-back. Another coldcase solved.
