The other time the enforcement came before player introductions, and was handled discretely, but the girl hadn't returned from the locker room in time to be introduced as one of the starting five.

Seems to me that men questioning girls' undergarments can lead to some real problems. Do others of you do this as well?
In Alabama, the bras are considered personel gear and are handled......err treated like shoes and socks. Sometimes the ladies will wear non-conforming undershirts which have to be removed but I'm not asking a 16 yr old to do anything with her undergarments.

Until the NFHS tells me I have to, and CHSAA confirms they want us to as well, I'm not even looking at bra straps.

I have an 8 year old daughter, I'm still pretending girls don't need bras until they get to college.

Denial can be very a very effective tool in dealing with the world. In 8 years or so when the kid with the Mustang starts showing up at your house you just keep telling yourself " he's here for Bible study".

Had the partner who wanted to go down the bra strap street . I did a nice job of gently steering him over to the next street.

In 2 years, I'm going to start decorating the house with 16 year old boys in mind.

Yes, This Will Be On The NFHS Exam ...

After you memorize this: List of colors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You get this: http://ac4.yt-thm-a01.yimg.com/image/1fab751b544177b0

Here's a "cheat sheet": Navy blue is a dark shade of the color blue. Navy blue got its name from the dark blue (contrasted with white) worn by officers in the Royal Navy since 1748 and subsequently adopted by other navies around the world. Royal blue describes both a bright shade and a dark range of blue. It is said to have been invented by millers in Rode, Somerset, a consortium of which won a competition to make a dress for Queen Charlotte. Traditionally, dictionaries define royal blue as a deep to dark blue, often with a purple or faint reddish tinge.

Here in the Constitution State, we're proud of our National Flag Blue and White University of Connecticut Huskies. I just wish that we hadn't spent so much of our tax dollars deciding on this particular shade of blue: http://www.uconn.edu/history/yestery...blue_white.php

Your reply made me smile. Then I realized I don't understand what you mean. But I still smiled.

I'm going to start getting decorations that would be more likely to frighten a 16 year old boy.

Not sure what yet, though. I'll have to do some research and maybe get a marketing company to do some focus groups.

Newspapers. Real paper newspapers.
Vinyl records. They don't have to be 78's. 45's, and 33's should do it.
Alarm clocks. Most teenagers hate getting up in the morning.
Mirrors. Lots of teenagers have poor self images.
Over the air television. No cable, or satellite dish.
