Re: Getting coaches to care
2) What I personally don't understand is why a substitute coach can't go in his place if needed, on occasion. Aside from talking to your coach (which could potentially alleviate much of the problem), is there an assistant coach who's more enthusiastic? Is there another teacher who, even if you kept...

Re: women in Quiz Bowl
I also will definitely agree with the aggressiveness theory. Honestly, I think that's the major difference between male and female players. The team at my high school rarely had any shortage of girls, but many schools rarely have any girls on their teams. The only reason I can think of is the fact t...

Is this a joke?
