Glad this family was able to make this personal decision to benefit their son. That's the way it should be. Now I'm going to shuffle off to a 2A thread to avoid that whiny Sheridan announcer complain that benefits like this should keep parochial schools out of 1A.

The IRONY of it all.....to read his apology it was behind a paywall....... I read his apology, made no reference to the actual main issue, NOT THE HEART gesture....nope it was the ole "do that back to me, we will be just fine". line was the absolutely brutal.....then half the room laughed....equally vomit worthy.....

Doyel has carried the woke flag on numerous occasions. Shouldn't he play by the rules he lives by?

I’m thinking we need a new separate OT forum where @gonzoron and @Muda69 can scream at clouds in peace.

No one in my mind has been more woke than Doyel over the years, especially going beyond sports to dive at political issues such as covid vaccines, (picking on certain athletes while letting others off the hook) civil war monuments, gun control, etc. Hard to earn much empathy from the local reader base when they have read his countless attacks over the years in the Star and on social media. His apologies through the Star and social media....many not sure they are sincere. Live by the sword...die by the sword.....

today i am going to introduce you all to the strategy that guides my betting, for educational purposes something tells me if you want entertainment to read quickly as usual if you take me seriously it is your own damn fault I call it the circle line dot NP strategy. first a few rules/suggestions 1. beware of special teams that break the system, such as EC the last two years. 2. high volume of small bets 3. look for fans of teams to bet against, not neutral people - for instance: it is a lot harder to get @temptation to take only 19 points for a random team he isn't affiliated with, then it would be for say the father of the quarterback of that team 4. you're going to be betting on a lot of potential blowouts, once you find your target fan, throw out arbitrary numbers that aren't as lopsided as they seem, and then double down until they are sick of your arrogance and their ego accepts your terms. ok now on to the meat of the betting strategy: bet on teams inside of the circle of victory bet on teams south of the line of dominance bet on teams at the dots of success (if you think your team should be on the other side of the line or inside the dots it probably should, i did this on a track pad leave me alone) and last but not least "NP" the notable privates you know who they are, dont be afraid to put your faith on memorial, or andrean, vs some of the less notable schools under the line, but be weary of the circle finally: don't play yourself, if you lose betting on ips schools its on you not the system

They certainly don't care to discuss much in the way of football.

Maybe Mr. Quintana wanted to bring back "Rebels" as the rightful Roncalli mascot.

I am still waiting on Doyel's apology/retraction article for claiming fans at the Indianapolis 500 would be the most irresponsible thing ever, that there is no way that college football could be played safely in 2020, that JJ McCarty was unworthy of anyone's Heisman vote and that Carson Wentz was the most selfish person on the planet. Dude is a fraud. But he is protected because he is a southpaw. A righty would have already been fired.

And? I could never imagine feeling the need to point out a grammatical error in a message board post. You be you guy.

So they recruit

To be fair, It is not Fort Wayne Wayne, it is just Wayne. Example, it is not Fort Wayne Snider or Fort Wayne Luers or Fort Wayne Dwenger either

Adjusted for inflation the Bears want to spend more than 4.5x what it cost to build Lucas Oil Stadium, just for perspective. And unless my eyes deceive me, it doesn’t include the cost of parking lots 😂

I say this was the inevitable result of the NCAA’s stupid policies over the years — which have been replaced by NIL & the transfer portal. This is like a state legalizing cannabis. Do you let the people out of jail who broke the law when it was illegal? Do you automatically expunge their convictions?

“as usual if you take me seriously it is your own damn fault.”

I don't have penn within 3 touchdowns until they manage no less than 18 players on the field and slip the zebras a few bills

Some are and some of these laws have been shot down by the court. However; abortion is now a state issue. I think the supreme court made that clear. The absurdity is that "republican states" have law enforcement waiting at the border with pregnancy test...I HIGHLY doubt this is happening. Now, as with most things, this could occur, but to advertise that this is common is ridiculous. Scenario - a married woman decides to abort a baby at 6 months and does not tell her husband. She lives in a state where abortion past 3 months is illegal. The neighboring state allows abortion up to 9 months. The woman crosses the state line to get an abortion. Did she murder her husbands child? Scenario #2 - a married (or unmarried) woman who is 6 months pregnant is driving down the road and is struck by a drunk driver. Did the drunk driver kill one person or two? Gavin Newsome isn't going to win more votes on the abortion issue this year, it is an attempt to provide a distraction from the disasters occurring in his own state.

https://fox59.com/indiana-news/lafayette-elementary-school-to-become-first-in-indiana-with-a-4-day-week/ Hmm. I assume teachers and administrators will still make their full salary as if they were teaching 5 days a week, and now they even get more time off during the calendar year. And support staff that gets paid hourly, like custodians and cafeteria workers, will make less. Nice. And the real losers will be the children. The dumbing down of the government school system. Maybe this will make more parents decide to home school their children.

I don't think he'll ever live this down, so that's enough for me. I have no control over what other entities might do, such as his employer or the Indiana Fever. Honestly it wouldn't bother me if the entire Indystar empire ceased to exist. It was the most toxic work environment I've ever seen.

This must have been bingo night.

Big news for the Bulldogs. Congrats, Bosse! https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/04/19/bosses-enlow-field-will-be-upgraded-with-new-turf-field-stadium-roof/73278322007/

I get it, but when you go to Snider High School, it does not say Fort Wayne Snider at the entrance.

I would say Howard County has multiple high schools (throw Eastern (Greentown) in there as well), not the city of Kokomo. Although Taylor is close. Residents of the Northwestern and Western school districts want nothing to with the city itself, other than a job a Chrysler/Stellantis transmission plant. The city of Kokomo did once have two high schools. Haworth High school was open from 1968 to 1984, and the current Kokomo high school building on the southwest side was originally the Haworth building. IIRC Haworth had it's own sport facilities except for basketball where both schools shared historic Memorial gymnasium, a decision that rankled a lot of Kokomo fans at the time.

Hoe confident you feeling this year I'll take indy and u can have everyone else and 19 points

arguing about the duties of the IT guy this place has reached a new low

Hall of Fame Coach Mike Spencer who coached at Perry Central, Tell City and Corydon Central passed yesterday. I personally did not know Coach Spencer, but this is a blow to the coaching community in southern Indiana. While he was retired, he was still around the game and Corydon Central athletics. I know many people who had wonderful things to say about him. He will be missed by us, and I am sure by those in Perry County as well. Condolences to his family and friends. I know this was on the main page, but this affects the MSC and PLAC specifically.

Your ignorance of IT shows, Chief. Go back to your Hamilton county compound an let the educated adults talk.

we do not call Ritter here Indianapolis Ritter, normally i call it Cardinal Ritter, but usually just Ritter, in Fort Wayne, they dont say, oh i go to Fort Wayne Snider, its just Snider, or Wayne, or North, just labeling them as to where they might be for folks that arent from there. But i do get what you are saying, Fort Wayne Wayne is a bit redundant LOL

Well, at least now you know Mud69 isn't going to find out who you really are...............Marked safe from Mud, you should be doing the happy dance.

Between you guys, AC, LCC, and Linton the 1A guys is about 3 of us now

Sheridan can sometimes benefit from being in Hamilton County and getting athletes from the larger surrounding schools.

ill give you 21.01 but i get to blacklist one team, and i dont have to choose until august

It really falls short in comparison to the atmosphere at other 3A playoff locations over the past few years. I've been to some poorly attended playoff games at Enlow. That said, during the Lindauer Combs era things really picked up.

20.9

Saying Fort Wayne ( what ever school it is) helps people know where said school is located. If you just Snider most people would have no clue where that is at.

They need to drink more beer, that will solve their differences…🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Lemme see how the transfer portal works out this summer.

He's fine with it. If he was an attorney, I'd probably hire him.

He's right though, regardless of what anyone thinks. I would argue that it's fact, not opinion.

If memory serves me correctly, the difference between Penn and Center Grove that year was minimal even though the outcome was double digits. Penn wasn't exactly dead during the Yoeman era, they were just hit or miss............and never good enough to win the whole thing. But let's be honest, they were in good company in that regard. Snider's offense was probably average, maybe a little better than average, by Snider standard. But the defense, one of their best ever, was good enough to keep them competitive in any game in my opinion. I like the direction the north is headed in. The two year winning streak over suburban Indy speaks volumes. The addition of Craig Buzea I think is a game changer for the north. I think Penn should be excited about the new hire. His resume appears pretty solid. I think Dinan is committed to keeping Carroll up there as a contender in 6A. He has the resources to do it. Homestead had a downturn in talent the last couple of years. When they uptick, with the combination of beefing up their schedule, they'll be back in the conversation at some point. Elkhart has the student body and a new coach. I'm a "glass half full" regarding the north at this point.

Coaching, talent, socioeconomics, youth league development, other job responsibilities for the coaching staff, facilities, etc...

I think that the schedule strength argument is part of the equation but not the end all be all.

What were you doing under the upright?

I mean, it’s easy to cherry pick data points to fit a narrative, but I remember how shocked I was the night that the much hyped clash between Brownsburg and Westfield (on Westfield’s turf I mind you) was over in the first half. So, looking back no. I don’t think Westfield was on the level of BD, Brownsburg or CG. But I still thought they were a tier above Crown Point.

Going to miss 1A! Wish we could have got 1 out of the 3 before leaving, but being there 3x in row was awesome. See if SA can get back soon to represent Adams County. Be nice to get Bellmont in 3A, AC in 2A, and SA in 1A to Indy the same year. I can dream!

Hopefully a PUBLIC school emerges... Lord, I DON'T apologize for anything.

I actually heard that, upon the announcement that Faith Christian was going to go to 11-man this season, some 20-25 players from the LCC football team became Baptists and will be attending Faith in the fall. Lord, I apologize for that there.

Wow! Sounds like the "Blue Blood" Luers Knights don't have much of a chance, although I am sure they will make an appearance.

I actually don’t think this game will be all that close. Luers may hang around for a quarter or 2- but in the end I see NP’s physicality wearing them down. Give me NP by 17
