New Guy

[HHSX2]

So being the new guy is there anything I need know? Here are the thing I have learned so far.

Private schools bad
Public schools good
They are not movies they are documentaries
All championships must run thru KC or the Greater Springfield/Joplin metroplex, depending on who you ask.

Things I would like to know.

Is Bosko really that fat?

Just so you all know I am a big smart ass. So dont take anything I say to seriously.

Willard has the best concession item and it's not close.

To add, and I know you know this already. BO is NOT a private school. Somehow this same notion comes up time and time again year after year from different people. Even my daughter said that one of the Lamar fans told them at the championship game that BO is private and recruits Jeff City and Columbia.

Half of that statement could be reasonably accurate.

This gets me too, They are called Blair Oaks but the town is Wardsville? Sound pretty exclusive to me. I mean wouldn't a public school be named after the town or county they are in? Like East Newton Macdonald county.

 

[Arcola]

Why don’t you just say “Hey I’m new and from St.Louis”?

Now that is a bit of useful information.

Close. Grew up south of STL but in Jeff city now.

The school district is made up of 4 different towns. That's why they never picked a town name as the school name.
I'm not the brightest person but I went to their website and it says in the about us history.
The name Blair comes from the Blair family which was a prominent family in the area at the time the school was created. The name Oaks comes from the plentiful oak trees located on the land they built the schools on.

Straight from the district website.

There seems to always be a debate (argument) on whether or not the number of stars a college recruit has matters or not.

Yes, for former Missouri Govenor Blair & as the Oak trees in the area as MidMissouri_Football stated.

 

[Toots_mcgee]

As Governor from 1957-61, Blair was known as a civil rights advocate, declaring to the General AssemblyAlways and everywhere I will identify myself with any victim of oppression or discrimination...and I will support him. This helped lead to the Missouri Commission on Human Rights in 1957.[6]

While in office, Blair was also an advocate of welfare reform and extending health insurance to the disabled. Under his governorship the first budget control and review office was established.[7]Other highlights include a nursing home licensing law, establishing a Council on Higher Education, expansion of the Missouri Highway Patrol and setting of road speed limits, and setting up a state employee pension fund.

At the time Missouri law prohibited a second consecutive term as governor, leading to Blair's retirement from politics after leaving office in January 1961.

Blair Oaks is not private!
But darn close.

Governor James T. Blair was a prominent Missouri Democrat, so there's another reason for about 85% of this board to hate Blair Oaks.

Yes. Caring for the less fortunate is a red flag.

Walnut Heights never has enough visitor seating and us moms let them know about it!!

The town Interstate Farty Four runs through..............

Best strategy is to arrive very early wait for the gates to open then flood the HOME seating.

 

[MoSooner69]

Oh, Bosko is in denial since his wife left him. She is on here from time to time. But he still thinks they are together.

Other valuable tidbits:
*There's a district in south-central MO lovingly referred to as "BFE" (if you don't know the reference, don't worry you'll learn during the "snipe hunting" phase of MoSports training)
*The maps used by MSHSSA to create football districts are the same ones used when the Louisiana Purchase was mapped out, not entirely accurate.
*Kearney apparently is overflowing with, ahem, "hot moms". Can neither confirm, nor deny.
*A mandatory, monthly, "What if the Ozark Conference and Central Ozark Conference merged, what would it look like?" thread will happen
*The board goes dormant after the playoffs and bizarro political takes prevail.
and finally...
*If your feelings and ego are easily bruised, let the board know up front, the posters will go easy on you.
Good luck, glad to have you!

Bosko ran for Booster Club president and it’s the only time he has ever run in his life.

Another tidbit, Bosko only posts Monday thru Friday, 8-4ish. He also suspiciously seems to follow school breaks too. So if you have any grievances to air against him, those are good times to do so.

You can also become an Honorary Doc. Gotta get the Doc Guys to call vote and then receive a majority of "yes" votes.

Unless your name is Gerry then you aren’t eligible because fat Bosko will blackball you because he was never an athlete and he is jealous.

Welcome to the board, we are definitively in need of some more smart asses, so you will fit in quite well.

Public school with a private school name.

Note: I am now allowed two (2) replies daily!

And…I’m done for today, it appears.

This is unheard of ! How was it decided that you only get two posts ? 😵‍💫

Doc Guys most definitely still have elections. I remember voting on you a time or five.
