It is a NFHS rule addressing what an UIC shall do and a post about Rich boasting just how stubborn he can be about doing it. I got a good laugh out of those two threads posted back to back. We would all hate to see Rich pack it in. We understand Rich, please, just add the damn thing to your equipment.

Let's ask all those guys who refuse to properly equip themselves. Blame Carl if you feel any better. Anyone care to address this.
