My declaration that my son's club fall season was over was premature. The Tufts A club team received an at-large bid to the national tournament Nov. 21-23 in Round Rock, TX.

I don’t care if it’s an exhibition, the number 1 team in the country, or Little Sister’s of the Poor, at this point I just want to see Ws pile up. We have the schedule that it should be the expectation but I have 0 expectations right now.

I blame the past two basketball season and the state of the football program for my low expectations. I know nothing about the basketball team this year other than Archie is on it and a stud. But I’m excited.

This year's tryouts with the impending birth date change (not official but official) is going to be wild. I wasn't around in 2017ish when it went to birth year. Try outs will be crazy...... What will clubs let kids do? It's all the talk at practices, texts, etc.......

The following is the policy of a certain Dallas based club.

U16 and above will have the option of staying with current team

My daughter is an August 2010 birthday but is a freshman. For players with August birthdays who are in the older grade they will have the option to play for with the older team or play correct age grouping. So she can play with either the 2009-2010 or 2010-2011 group.

The have always been players who play up. My understanding is the change won’t affect this option for players.

Keep in mind that the Fire Montgomery chants went on here for over 4 years, even during weeks when he won, before he was let go. We don't move too quickly.

Given the report of us beating the pants off of a North Dakota state team, I’d like to think the game the other night was a fluke, but I think we’ll know more this evening when we see us play again.

Hopefully that was as big of a fluke as us beating UTSA 😂 let’s do what they did though ! Win a well played game after being disappointed !

I think that was AvsRick's point, which you objected to. I believe he was saying that we should treat every game as a "real" game, given our instability and disappointing results in recent years.

What? That was not even what the question was about. The team we are playing literally has this game marked as an exhibition on their schedule and yet it will count for us. Aston wanted to know how that is possible. How can one team not count a game and another could. To which I said I dont know that is weird. To which no one has yet to explain that either. and what exactly did I object to??

it's the opposite in this case. It will be an exhibition for them but a game for us.
