BeenThereDoneThat: Thanks for the info, I thought they had 0 days built in.

I believe they made the correct decision.

OhGeezDanny - I don't believe Janesville has any "snow days" built into their schedule, therefore they must make up every day that is cancelled - and they had conferences today too. All of it must be rescheduled.

hankidan - the roads were fine with a 2-hr delay. I believe the reason Janesville cancelled was because they don't do 2-hr delays and make their decision prior to 6am. I wouldn't think they could assume the roads would be ok at that time in the morning.

For those complaining about the decision made: Remember there are consequences to their decisions. What if this decision was on your shoulders and a child was injured/killed in an accident because you decided not to cancel/delay. After all, we live in Wisconsin, who cares if there is snow and slippery roads, right!

Haha... wi55lady...
I really don't even know where to go from here.
You state you know the game but your comments make no sense.
Bo Ryan is simply one of the best coaches in the game. He was successful at the D3 level and now at D1, with less "talented" players as well. By less talented, I am talking about the blue-chip recruits. The players he recruits are determined by his system.
There is a difference between having an effective game plan and not EXECUTING the game plan correctly. Believe me, Coach Ryan makes ADJUSTMENTS when necessary but they still strive to execute their game plan effectively, and when they do, they often win!

Perfect rebuttal DKS.
Wi55lady's comment is just another example of people with little basketball knowledge speaking up when they shouldn't.
Unfortunately, this too often is the start of pushes to oust HS coaches.

justsayn: I definitely wouldn't say they treated him like crap, he was falling down the depth chart behind some younger, very skilled receivers. He had a great run with the team and I'm glad he decided to retire now rather than stay too long.
I would say both DD and the organization handled it very professionally.
Treating him like crap would have been cutting him and severing all ties during the season.

On Are we clearing sidewalks well enough?

What about vacant businesses/lots? Who is responsible for clearing those sidewalks? The City?
Seems that the city property has some of the most poorly-cleared sidewalks.

On Parkview votes keep Footville open, Newark closed next year

Posted on April 26 at 7:57 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I'm confused - maybe I missed something though.
Why is the travel time to Footville being noted by some Newark supporters as such a big issue when the ride time to Orfordville would have been acceptable?
These villages are only a couple miles apart.

In the Parkview picture, I believe the male adult is their HS principal. Probably there just for picture purposes, I'd assume.
