Actual or "feel like"?

Actual, every second of it.

Feel 24, just old enough to know better and not old enough to forget every little bit of it or take a nap in the middle of anything.

Note: Krispy Kreme doughnuts taste unbelievable at 24. They are just heavenly at 57.

Cantona is 26. Do we deduct points from Northwestern for inexperience?

How about adding for looks?

You bring up an interesting point, Mr. Hurst. If we add, say 1 point for every year of "experience" that the coach has past, say, 30, then you would deduct 4 points from Cantona and add 27 to Blue Ridge. That would almost double the "points" in this system for the Tigers.

I am afraid that might not really be realistic, as Cantona has probably forgotten more about soccer than ROH.

But it is fun to think about it.

Seriously, any other 50+ (Mature Guests level at the clinic hotel next week) coaching high school women's soccer in South Carolina?

At home now (so as not to upset Barnwell Athletics).

Heard through the grape vine that Mike Mauldin of Irmo is a young and active 62!

You should assign points by a logarithmic scale =D.

Most of me is 52, but (according to my orthopaedic doctor) my knees are 77. What does that average out to?

I tried to PM Mr. Hurst but there is a full message reply that makes it like trying to communicate with a hungry, tired teenager.
