When I was hired the football fund was in the negative. Had a couple years in equipment refurbishing that hadn't been paid and had to pay nack yhe athletic department for jerseys that had been bought previously. So, everything was expensive.

Attended those for all three years it was played. Saw some great teams with some great games. One in particular I recall, was Charlotte (NC) Independence losing which snapped a 100+ game winning streak. Saw Concord (CA) De La Salle, Lakeland (FL), Hoover (AL), and many other nationally relevant teams play. It was a great event.

Sorry. Typed it backwards. Purple helmet. Gold horns.

Ohio hosted the Kirk Herbstreit Series circa 2008. Cathedral and Warren Central participated. It only lasted a few years, but if I recall it was televised nationally.

I attended that game. Told someone later it was like a track meet with pads. I recall that Evansville Reitz played Bloomfield (MI) Brother Rice that day. It was hard to differentiate between the teams. Seems to me Pickerington (OH) Central played someone that day.

I don't think so.

Thank you. What is that dang logo on the rear of the helmet? An anchor? What a graphical mess. (I should watch what I say, apparently PC paid a company in Huntingburg to design this.) I can't believe it's online. It actually got media coverage. Designer

Perry's has changed. One side has new PC other side has uniform number.

That would be cool event. Warren hosted something similiar (less star power) and played East St. Louis. Man, that was a long time ago.

Thanks for the feedback. Are decals expensive?

From what I'm hearing Cathedral's had an exodus of talent to North Central. This would be a really good time for the Irish to get a big win.

I used it for two years! The account was in the negative when I got there. I used your old stickers that I found. Also, Paoli's helmet was changed to purple with gold helmets last year.

It's an army of people from what I understand. Let's just blame AI! That's what I do.

Kind of how it was when we didn't have the transfer rule in place, but flipped. Not saying the transfer rule is a good thing. It is what it is, but the private schools might be getting a taste of what the public schools feel like. Can't speak for all privates, but there are stories of 10-15 years ago, kids go to a public school all the way up till freshman year, then end up at a private school. Could be for the private school education who knows. All I'm saying is since the implementation of the transfer rule, there are fewer dominant privates racking up two or three state championships in a five year period. I also understand that the success factor plays a huge role in this as well and is doing its job also.

Nah. You’re entitled to your opinion man. I’ve been on record saying you don’t have enough respect for Floyd Central athletics at times. But in this case, I can see your perspective. There really isn’t a question that Whiteland has been the better program the last 20 seasons. However, I will say this. I watched their game the other night on YouTube with CN. And this Whiteland team looks SMALL. Outside of their LT and LG, they look very skinny at every position. That isn’t the case with Floyd Central. They’re big. On the OL and at DT especially.

I do remember seeing Spencer dunk in 8th grade for queen of angels..or st Therese..I’ll give the cyo that..

My post had nothing to do with anything said about Memorial. I may have missed it. History: I will say the intro was more about poking fun than about context or content. Sorry for antagonizing. FC: "At what point to consider FC is actually pretty good" When to consider pretty good or at least more than competitive? Like I said, maybe this week against Whiteland. I don't know much about Whiteland, but they handled FC last year for there only regular season loss. You do have a first hand view I have seen, so I give you that. And I'll give you 18 seniors is a strong presence, but I believe FC loads a lot seniors every year. I believe I know one year they didn't, two years ago when last year's seniors did most of the heavy lifting as juniors. That's the difference I see. Last year they had 2 losses, but had only one win against a team with a winning record before sectional. That team, BNL, had no wins against a team with a winning record. We know last years results against Castle and North in sectional to try to gage where we think they were then. So my questions still stand for now and I'll take your word and add it to the data points. North/FC comparison: Not sure what you're getting at from my comments. They don't seem to align with what I personally have said about North. Or my expanded FC comments above. I think FC is a good add on both schedules. St. Pius X: I read all the things you mention before hand as well. I looked into MO classes and success factor, which are different than IN. They basically lost in a "1A-1.5A" state championship. I understand who they bring back. Now they will try for a "2.5/3A" state championship this year. Not misinformed, maybe we just draw different conclusions in context. You and I have already covered the skewed demographic of student body in the past. It is considered in my comments and I intentionally left it out. From what I read, I see them as an old Lafayette Central Catholic or maybe an Indianapolis Lutheran. Not close to a FW Luers type. To avoid going down a rabbit hole of P&P schools and the world of college recruiting interest, I'll leave it there. OlMarksmanTiger's optimism: I have made one statement about this years Memorial team in response to a direct question from FC member about relativity to last year. No public statements of why optimism at all compared to your posts that I have agreed with. I know you were just using my phrase framework to make the point, but if those are the questions you really had about Memorial relative to my statement on Gibson Southern, and the comparison of historical Jasper to FC, we definitely see the questions differently. Not making an argument or telling anyone not to put stock in anything to form an opinion. Just stating my questions on the current local polls, why they're questions, and opinion on what to see for them play out.

I just copy and paste, we are going to have to blame the guy that took over for Jon for this one!

Very true. Should add that Bluffton had a talented middle school team the past couple seasons that are Freshmen this year. I'm sure their baseball run has added some fire to their football team as well.

Reminder to get your picks in. Calling @SPARKS Others are invited to pick as well.
