Brooks had 21 pts, 8 boards, 6 assists and 6 steals in a game last week on a broken foot. Only Big 10 guard in 29 years with 7 straight double doubles, all while injured. Glad I got to watch him rep our school.

@NickMedline I just don’t think a team built around Nick shooting a ton of 2s is a winning team. He has an interesting game but it’s clear how much better the offense is when the ball moves.

I don’t root for teams as someone who covers games but if anyone deserves a state title after all these years it’s TJ. This could be the year. #opreps

Wins and numbers aren’t everything but 700 victories don’t come easy nor often as the legend of Tom Johnson continues to plow ahead on the Barlow Trail as TJ becomes the third man to join the 700 club @OSAASports after arriving @GoSamBarlow in 1986 @barlow_hoops 7️⃣0️⃣0️⃣

Oregon City beats West Linn 64-54 to go to 4-0 in the TRL. Pios look like a legit 6A contender. Soph Alarion Scott 18pts 11reb. Soph Eli Hopkins 15 pts 6reb. Soph Trey Price led WL with 15 pts. #opreps

@NickMedline Need to play more guys, it’s not giving up on the season to give Gelo and KJ and Mullins more run and Brooks and Nick more breathers. Still can compete this year while building something. Brooks is obviously hurt and we don’t need more forced prayers in traffics from Nick.

Notes on using Optical Tracking for measurements: There is already a chip in the ball in the NFL. It’s in the middle of the ball on the pane (4 leather panes to make up the football) opposite where you inject air. What you are pointing out here is optical tracking technology. There are between 6-12 cameras at an event that can triangulate the position of the ball. This only works if the ball is 75% visible by light to let all the cameras see the ball and track. Football also has 3 concepts foreign to Tennis and Soccer. 1. Possession 2. Down (by contact) 3. Shape of the football 1. In football to be we need to establish possession of the football. When the player crosses X plane do they have the ball. All other line technology is based on the ball relation to a line, football is about relationship between the ball and player as well as balls relationship to the location 2. Down, you can have the ball but then we need to establish when and where the player was down. This is a judgement call based on the possession of the player. Add in the fact a player can be down but then he hasn’t been touched, so you have to wait until you can see that they’ve been touched 3. Shape of football. You’re looking at tennis and the ball is the a sphere. In a sphere every point on the ball is equidistant from the center of the spheres mass. On a football, an oblong spheroid, it’s different the further you get to the tip of the ball. Then we rotate it up and down and we have to fer this right Finally, let’s say we have a play that meets all of these conditions. The only time it’s valuable is when we have met these conditions AND the 40 game cameras at the game could NOT indentify the location of the football. The UFL and the NFL (in preseason) have solved 1 part of the puzzle which is the measurement. But you have to still place the ball based in possession, down, and shape of the ball by the judgment of the official, then measure with cameras, which solves nothing more than just losing the chains coming onto the field. I have a way to solve this problem and have talked to some people about getting it accomplished but it would change the entire mechanics of the officials, and possibly slow the game down.

Like just get an actual yard on one of these so you don’t have to complain about a bad spot.

RIP to Tom, who starred for the Portland Buckaroos from 1961-66 and won a championship in 1965. I believe he continued to live in the Portland area in his later years though he spent a long time as an NHL coach and scout. Enjoyed getting to meet and speak with him a couple times.
