All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The calender says it is Daytona 500 season, but with the rain in Florida, one little lady has stolen the sports spotlight. Annika Sorenstam has accepted the sponsor's invitation to play in the Colonial later this year. She'll be the first lady duffer to play with the boys since Babe Zaharias did it almost 58 years ago. Now. Does anybody actually expect her to win? Of course not. That isn't what it is about. Many see it as equal opportunity. I see it as equality. ...MORE...
I would really appreciate some comments and an open discussion about this one...and before anybody starts, please note that nowhere in the article did I say that Title IX is a bad thing or that it should be gotten rid of.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Women have broken into Nascar Racing, the Indy 500, Mannon Rehume and "what's her face" Wickenheiser into Hockey, we have had a girl Globetrotter- hecl even this sort half a century before.
I'm not a huge golf fan. I'm not bothered by the fact that she's playing. I think she ought to tee off from the men's spot though. I don't think she stands a chance in any case. Maybe she'll make the cut. I think she'll probably enter a few events and then quietly fade away, back to the women's tour.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
Annika Sorenstam is a golf quality unlike any seen since tiger woods... the problem is she is a girl... and while I'm a liberated type of guy, I'll never forget my experience playing the girls varsity soccer team... this team was good, they would win their division latter in the year... (I played both soccer and football in the fall, hockey in the winter and lacrosse in the spring…), when I was in 9th grade and on the JV squad... we killed them. I played D, it was my first year ever playing soccer, and I remember watching the girls play for my HS (because they were so good), and I was shocked at how simple it was to defend them, to beat them.
Girls can play many sports better than me. Sorenstam plays golf better than I ever will... yet even she will only be good enough to finish in the top 20 of the pro golf tournament, as men are made for physical accomplishment.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

Does this mean I can tell my commander that I don't need to do as many pushups as the guys at PT (real pushups/not "girly" ones)? I really hate pushups.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.

I really hated PT too…
Hey... don't forget I was in the Marines (briefly), and the toughest sergeant I ever came across was a female "guns"... She was the most intimidating soldier I ever came across, and I wouldn't have had a problem going into battle with her at my back.
That being said, what I'm talking about is top athletic achievement, and while a lot of women can hit the top 20% of guy achievement, it is nearly impossible for them to break into the top 1%...

I have no problem with women competing with guys. What I detest is that they can prohibit men from playing in their sports (the LPGA prohibits any men). That's a double standard that is BS.
