All Activity

Before Lincoln left the SIAC, I had really hoped the SIAC could be split into two divisions - 5 EVSC and the 5 Others. It does Bosse, Harrison and Central no good to get throttled every week except when they play each other. And it isn't fun or helpful for the opponents either (except being able to rest players). I cannot imagine the challenge a coach faces trying to get players to come out and then getting clobbered each Friday. After this week the Tigers are going to find out what we're made of... Two tough games back to back.

TRC Pick'em Standings Tightendopenagain - 24 Muda - 24 Gonzo - 24 Fran - 18

Week 5, halfway there, and some teams are living on a prayer... Attica @ North Vermillion - It's survive and keep playing for the Ramblers. Surely they have some classes coming up to help re-solidify the program? The Falcons play hard, but found out last week they have a long way to go. This week, they shouldn't struggle too much, but this was a close game last year. 42-12 Covington @ Parke Heritage - I hate to say it, but the Trojans might be in the same boat as the Ramblers. Again, they do some good things, but things on the field often get out of hand quickly, and they don't recover well. The Woolfs are licking their wounds from last week. They scored plenty, but couldn't keep pace. (They gave up 7 passing touchdowns?) This week should be a reset for them. 35-18 Fountain Central @ Seeger - The Mustangs are slowly righting the ship and should be hitting on all cylinders come tournament time. They could make this game interesting. The Patriots may have secured the 2nd spot after last week's offensive output. I'm curious to see the results, but I think the home team wins. 42-28 Riverton Parke @ South Vermillion - The Panthers did Panthers things last week. (OL scoring TDs?) Their D is becoming fine tuned. (I heard NV only had 44 Yards of total offense) And a fourth different running back had a multi TD game. In Clinton, the Junior Visors took awhile to get going last week. They can't afford to do that this week. The questions are: Can the Junior Visors move the ball on the Panthers? And can they stop the Panthers from scoring? Answer to both: NO SIR. 48-6

Before anyone gets any ideas.... That wasn't me. I watched that game on the livestream from Janko's Little Zagreb in Btown the night before IU beat Michigan at the Rock... Unfortunately, every school has its fair share of idiots and in places where fans can get close to the playing field (or even to tower cam guys) this kind of crap happens.

Week 6 in the TRC, big game in Bunker Hill with the only two unbeaten teams in the conference will square off. I will post standings later in the week. Who ya got?

I thought you were going to say you cut them all in half. 😀

FYI the Northfield at Wabash game is cancelled: https://www.facebook.com/100063294936315/posts/changes-to-the-football-schedule-in-wabash-county-friday-sep-25elwood-wabash-8-m/1374685271317958/ Instead: 8-man game - Elwood at Wabash Northfield at Indianapolis Scecina @ Roncalli High School

And we had to dress outside the gym and share a bathroom with Halloween dance goers.... once we suited up, we just stayed on the track and didn't use the school again

Finally we are getting this party started!

I am on our chain crew and in the sectional game against Memorial in 2024, an intoxicated Memorial fan got mouthy with our clip guy, I thought that was going to result in a fight, fortunately it did not. My attitude is that no one should ever notice that we are there. Don't talk except to the guy on the box and don't move until the white hat or the guy on the box says move. Do that and it will be pretty uneventful as it should be.

Carroll at South Side - Over by halftime. Nothing against the Archers, but Carroll is in a league of their own Concordia at Luers - Close game to call. Hard to imagine Luers being 0-6. But I guess that happens when two programs in your conference decide to hijack your best players. The Cadets had Northrop on the ropes last week, so don't count them out. Knights 27-20 North Side at Wayne - Mismatch in terms of talent, but North has no discipline. Gimmie the Legends by 14 Northrop at Dwenger - Talentwise, the Bruins should have this one in the bag. Dwenger is a MUCH better program. Saints 28-14 Homestead at Snider - Homestead wasted Snider 38-0 last year. Panthers close the gap. Spartans win 28-24

SIAC Standings Week 6: 1. Memorial 5-0 (-) 2. Reitz 4-0 (0.5) 3. Mater Dei 3-1 (1.5) 4. Castle 3-1 (1.5) 5. Jasper 2-3 (3) 6. North 2-3 (3) 7. Central 1-3 (3.5) 8. Bosse 0-4 (4.5) 9. Harrison 0-5 (5) No clinching scenarios yet, but I believe more mathematical eliminations could happen.

I did not make a snarky comment. This whole 8-man vs. 11-man situation is a mess. And it could have been avoided had the IHSAA had the cajones to implement a football co-op system.

I just recently saw a Twitter/X post regarding how it is becoming common in parts of the country for the Home team to be on the opposite side. It seemed to be at stadiums that only have stands on one side...AND the coaches wanting to get the Home team away from "parental distractions". I was shocked how many comments supported this and mentioned that they do it as well. I've never seen this in Indiana....is there anywhere that puts the home sidelines opposite the pressbox?

Week 6 in the TRC, big game in Bunker Hill with the only two unbeaten teams in the conference will square off. I will post standings later in the week. Who ya got?

Guy holding one of the stakes didn’t get out of the way, and a pileup on the sidelines resulted in the front stake hitting @Coach Nowlin in the face. Fortunately, it didn’t make him any uglier. 😂🤣 That was the night the officials had to dress in the band room. A couple of kids came in at a most inopportune time to get their instruments. I’m sure they have mental scars for life.

@Bobref watched me almost lose an eye vs Bowman academy 1st round Sectional game held at Gary Wirt on Bleachers that were condemmed and a field that was painted short I witnessed a chain gang get thrown out at North Newton about 15 years ago and NN staff had to finish the 4th quarter I watched a NN dad last year come onto our sidelines and " pump" up the Kickoff team by using words and things of " We've waited all year for this". and other opinions literally right in front of me, then stared right at me with a look of this is our year and he was very glad to be the sidelines... by the time we cored our 50th point in the 1st half he slammed down his yard marker and another coach without knowing of our pre game non verbal exchange comes over and picks it up and hands right back to him. That was fun. I also made sure to talk and coach my QB RIGHT behind the chain guy who wanted to interject himself into the game ..... my favorite was: "Hey Cohen, literally close your eyes and pick anything you want on this play sheet and its a touchdown".

my days are spent in darkness these days Carry on
