So did the exclusion of Tri West from joining the ICC cause this riff? Can't help but notice that the four public schools are divorcing the four private schools. Has the P/P dilemma become an issue in this conference?

From beginning to end? Without a doubt.

He will definitely be an entertaining aspect of the Olympics coverage. The irony of him carrying the torch is hilarious to me, just as the fact that the torch was shaped a like a big fat joint was. Let the games begin

If I wasn’t capable of “taking the jabs” I wouldn’t still be here.

I don't make jokes about wives..seem's "clownish" to me...... 😉 Seriously, I figure if you can label someone you don't know, that you are also capable of taking the jabs. I'd be happy for some solid improvement....but I have no problem for him setting a different vision. He knows leaders tend to get the behavior they are desiring. I love his comment about his team going out to LA and play. That statement was for his team.

I agree with you on Mishawaka. Very hard team to defend when you don’t play them yearly. I would expect them to make some noise in 4A. I would say that Mishawaka by far gave Snider their toughest game in the playoffs last year

Solid start.

Thought we were past this…are wife jokes back on the table? IDGAF if he has won at every level, he’s joining the BIG TEN which is better than it’s ever been and quite possibly is on the verge of becoming the best conference in America. Look, I have never had a reason to cheer against Indiana football, I have always had sympathy for them to be honest. This doesn’t change any of that, but it just seems like manufactured clickbait and a lack of respect/understanding for what he’s walking into. His line about Indiana almost winning the Big Ten in 2020 had me rolling. 8 wins is actually attainable with that schedule though I’d place the over/under at 5.5.

I lived in the Old Dominion for years. JMU used to be a money game for UVA and VA Tech. They were FCS and not a very good FCS program. Cignetti help drive them to become a FCS power then the jump to FBS. They've only been in FBS a couple of years at a lower tier, so not sure how many FBS big wins he should have. Bottom line, he has won at every level he's been, not to mention was an asst. coach at some outstanding programs. He knows the formula to be successful. BTW, I've been in Scott Stadium at UVA when they have had some pretty nice wins. Schiano is very positive about him.... https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/iu/2024/07/24/indiana-football-2024-big-ten-media-days-rutgers-greg-schiano-curt-cignetti/74488041007/ Well...perhaps clowns think they can recognize other clowns....

He’s a clown because he’s spouting out false bravado and arrogance in order to be interesting which I sort of respect. Cultures are changed in the locker room, in the weight room and on the practice field, not from behind a microphone. Yes, a clown.

So he's a "clown" for trying to change the culture? What should he say...."we are here to start gettinh our a$$es kicked?" He's trying to change the mindset of his program. He didn't say anything wrong. And a former UM standout certainly didn't take any issue with his comments. https://www.journalgazette.net/sports/colleges/iu/ius-curt-cignetti-brings-brash-attitude-to-big-ten-media-days/article_67d6ba50-4ac1-11ef-83f0-f3d72d4d5baa.html “What stood out? Curt Cignetti,” Big Ten Network analyst Jake Butt said during his recap of the third and final day of the event. “That guy, when he talks, I get fired up. He speaks with such passion. “He even acknowledged it – maybe some people think he’s crazy. But if you’re in this business, if you don’t believe you can win, if you’re scared, find a different job. Indiana’s going to have an uphill battle, but that guy has won everywhere he’s been. I’m excited to see what he does with this roster because one thing’s for sure, he’s going to have those guys ready to compete every week.” Crucially, while Cignetti admits that he is trying to capture attention for his team with his comments, his confidence is not an act. He truly believes his team is good enough to compete and win games in the Big Ten.

Looking forward to what Mishawaka can do in 4A. Two top notch athletes getting poached by Elkhart shouldn't affect Coach Kinder and the program that the Cavemen have built over the last few decades.

Idk if you sound good behind a microphone but you can’t sound worse than a Southridge and Mt Carmel fan trying to describe the team to everyone else on the radio

Which begs the question. Did he inherit 1 million or 10 million from his dad? Doesn't matter. He took it and turned it into an billion dollar empire. I'm starting to believe that you struggle with understanding money. Hopefully you're not one of those people who tout, "but, but he bankrupted three companies." NO ONE can own as many businesses as Trump does without having a few failures along the way. If you know someone, help me out. It would be a pleasure to meet God in person. Lol, 1.6 million won't do it. I must have a better idea than you. And I'm sorry, but speaking engagements and book deals don't qualify you for 20 million dollars in real estate and the money it takes to maintain it. Obama and Biden are shady and they became rich at the expense of American tax payers. You're naive if you don't believe that.

That boy from Winamacs knows more about stats than anyone I know. I swear to God he does

If it wasn't originally scheduled that way, then I'd say that's indicative of some sort of delay. However, it could be multiple things. Hopefully I'm wrong.

25. Merrillville 24. Valparaiso 23. Mishawaka 22. Warsaw 21. Noblesville

Which Is why I also made this statement: No, I don't. Do you? No, he just used his Dad.

Seriously Muda, look at that kind of homes both Biden and Obama live in. You can't sustain that kind of lifestyle with 1.6 million dollars in the bank. Someone with that kind of money lives in a $750,000 dollar home. The Obama's paid 11.5 million back in 2020 for their home in Martha's Vineyard. The property taxes alone are over 6 figures a year. Any idea what it takes to maintain an estate like that? He even had a private cook. Then there's his 8 million dollar home in DC that he purchased when he left the White House. To my knowledge, he still owns both. This man owns roughly 20 million in real estate. It wasn't until last year that he sold his 1.5 million dollar apartment in NY. Before he became president, he resided in the Hyde Park area of Chicago. So maybe he lived in a Townhome valued between $750,000 and 1.5 million? Connect the damn dots. 1.6 million = chump change (to guys like Obama and Biden). They roll with the elites. Elites are shady as f***. And as the president or vice president of America, you're privy to a lot of cash from other countries when you give them what you want. I doubt the Bush's are innocent. I have a lot of respect for you Muda being the 3rd party guy that you are. I'm a Trump supporter because he didn't use his power as the president to become "rich."

Yes. As I remember. He did advance the ball.

So, he gets to keep rushing yardage even though the down is replayed?

An Indiana school cannot play a game more than 300 mi. from the Indiana state line. Used to be a limitation on how far a school could come to play an Indiana school, but that was eliminated a few years ago. That’s why you see a school from Arizona playing Crown Point. But you won’t see Crown Point traveling to Arizona.

Forest Park has a big senior class this year. https://www.14news.com/2024/07/26/rangers-football-leaning-experience-with-17-man-senior-class/

Definitely more than 7!

The biggest limitation is Indiana's antiquated travel rule. I forget the exact lingo, but IHSAA member schools can't play games in places beyond contiguous border states or 200 miles beyond the state line. (I'm sure I got that wrong, but someone will correct me.
