Kids caught some little bass and nice sunfish this evening on bobber and worm tonight on lake behind house.  MH was skunked.  I was trying some deep rapalas having never fished this water before.  Little plastics did work too.  I'd rather bait cast and let kids beat me.

I am cleaning our small electric grill, soaking the grates, which is not great.  The grill had quite a bit of solid buildup of crunchies under the grates which I cleared.  This is a kind of nasty job.

The grill does  a much better job than I expected.  But it gets nasty fairly quickly.

So my 8 yr old did enough damage to her bobber that she started to lose a little interest on our third walk over to the lake, I managed to use parts of this bobber and a little sinker to fashion a little jig out of it, without the actual float. The plastic slips were still on the line, the float part broke off on the rocks, it kept the sinker and hook line in nice balance for easy casting and retrieval in these light wind conditions.   She found some large rocks to play with while the 11 yr old and I had the derby.  She still won again but it is always fun to catch fish when improvising.  Still to early for spoons and full bait casting beyond little plastics. 

Were heading down to a real lake for a couple days away from the main shelter in place, we should see some catfish and stripers.

Good article on faking injuries.  I think the competition committee wimped out.  They should have gone ahead and established a mandatory sit-out time after injuries.  Mike Gundy is right for once.

Disagree, unless you also want to ban Hurry Up and Wait offenses/

I don't think the comparison is valid at all.  It's obvious what is considered unsportsmanlike about faking an injury.  But what is unsportsmanlike about the hurry up offense?

There are already rules preventing the offense from substituting and running a play without giving the defense its own chance to respond and sub.  Is there something else that you consider unsportsmanlike in the HUNH?

Unsportsmanlike, no?  And it's not specifically hurry up no huddle, it's hurry up and wiat, for the express purpose of preventing substitutions.  If your goal is merely to exhaust the defense, I don't mind them countering.  I don't find that's unsporting any more than running to the line, rather than huddling, just to keep the defense tired.

How is the lack of any motion from the offense "keeping the defense tired?"

As I said, if the offense subs, the defense can too.

If the offense doesn't sub, then what advantage are they gaining?

If they didn't why would they do it?  What other reason is there to sprint up to the line, just to stand and stare at the sidelines for 30 seconds?

There were always more rotations on defense than on offense, particularly in the trenches.

One reason for the offense to do it is to prevent defensive subs for specific down/distance situations, not necessarily to prevent the defense from getting rest. 

I simply disagree that there's any significant net advantage to the offense, since they aren't able to substitute either, when they choose to do this.

Faking injuries on the other hand is clearly unsportsmanlike.
