In reply to: 's message, "You're right.. that definitely happens. What's funny is that in this region, the main school does terribly at all the majors while the little spawned off schools all do really well at majors. Yet this main original school likes to say they train champions. They don't. They train rec dancers where an occassional one every few years sees a podium at a major." on 11:53:52 01/15/26 Thu

[> [> [> Like legacy NFL teams (PIT, GB, NE, SF) riding on past glories -- it makes sense (more inside), 00:34:20 01/16/26 Fri (d-23-244-51-237.oh.cpe.breezeline.net/23.244.51.237)

The post about the main school spawning schools that have more success reminds me of legacy NFL teams coasting on reputation. Think the 49ers with Shanahan (who spawned McVay with the Rams), or the Pats with Belichick, etc. Meanwhile their coaches go elsewhere and have success, while the host is coasting on past glory.

(Pats isn't the greatest example TBF; they bounced back with Vrabel this year).
