I think the whole “rigged” allegation is a little extreme to say the least.

Here's the telling line that says that it isn't @DT unless he purposely tossed that in as 180 headfake. Some suggest that private schools have an unfair advantage. It’s a false argument. All the private schools are in the first four classes in terms of student population. If they’re good, they’ll have to play up a class because of the success factor. Given his headstrong multiplier stance, if he had to write the above, I expect it looked like this at his desk ... NSFW:

Completely agree. As long as Shanley is there I don’t think Jeff will lose to Harrison unless Harrison has a special group. Jeff has had and will continue to have better athletes than the Raiders. Props to both of these programs for the success they have earned over the past 5 years

Harrison isn't overtaking Jeff in the next decade. The only way that COULD happen is if Shanley leaves, which I don't see happening. I'm sure Harrison will beat Jeff here and there, but Jeff will win more conference titles than Harrison will. One could talk about how it's a growing area and F/RL. That sounds a lot like another school that we have a thread about... Franklin Central. Except that thread is questioning whether or not it's a good job. I'm sure the same has been said about Noblesville several times.

Or be "the guy."

Breaking news......

What’s with all of the outrage? Pretty factual piece other than the private/parochial quote.

So using that logic if Florida beats bama will the playoff be 2 acc and 2 sec? I think Nd is getting to much credit for that 1st Clemson win. I mean Clemson was missing the best qb prospect since Peyton Manning. the playoff should be bama Clemson Ohio state and Cinncy

Has anyone ever seen Mike Hutton and @DTin the same place at the same time? Think about it. 😉

I bet you could find 24 teams in Indiana to play 8-man ball. It would start with many schools in 1A and potentially homeschool teams, but I'd venture a guess that there are some 3A/4A schools that would even opt for an 8-man team as opposed to trying to continue to compete in 3A/4A with 11-man ball. I know that 7-on-7 at the high school level tends to be treated more like camp/scrimmage, but there are already youth programs that have been doing 7-on-7 and 9-on-9 contact ball for regular seasons either in response to numbers or to create more teams and more opportunities for kids to play. And some of these are in programs that feed into schools as large as 5A ... so the concept isn't too foreign.

Might want to pickup that mic because why would Jeff have had so much success against Harrison? For the past 27 seasons, Jeff is 21-10 over Harrison ... there were four seaons where they played each other twice and in three of those seasons they split ... and, as mentioned above, in the last 10 seasons, Jeff has won 8 of those. In some of those seasons, the only game that Jeff If it takes 27 years to lose at a roughly 2 1/2-to-1 margin and 4-1 in the last 10 seasons, it would appear that the F/RL might not be mush of an influence. And, at that rate, Harrison's not going to "make it up on volume." Jeff is a little bit less successful with McCutcheon, but still holds a [edit: 14-10 15-10] gap with them and, in the past 10 seasons, is 6-4 ... and is 4-1 for the last five seasons including four straight wins for the last four seasons. Again, at a 4-1 ratio, McCutcheon's not going to be making it up on volume either. Sounds like a good talking point until you realize that Purdue's state appropriations amounted to 14% of its FY2021 Operating Plan. There are also plenty of state-owned buildings at Purdue that should be maintained by the state that end up getting maintained by Purdue due to shortages in appropriations. Also, there are plenty of folks at Jeff who are Purdue families too including mine ... my taxes go straight into Jeff as well as my support in fundraising efforts since three of my kids attended or are attending Jeff. I mean if you really wanted to take a swipe at folks who get much more of their paycheck supported by taxpayer money perhaps policemen/sheriffs, firefighters, mail personnel, city water works and roadworks, public high school employees, judges, prosecutors and defenders, and many other government employees who keep the lights on and society functioning with a higher percentage of "government subsidy" for their jobs. That's probably not a good or decent thing to do though. Of course, there are others of your other favorite targets, like SIA, that might be better more acceptable targets that get that "government consideration" that you speak of.

Muda. No where in my post did I blame Trump for my moms illness. You really need to learn how to comprehend. And don't tell me to grow up. You know absolutely nothing about my life. Here's a news flash. You aren't the smartest dude on the forum. You and DT live in some fantasy land where you both think so. You were once a great poster but now your just a bitter old man.

Much of Terre Haute's population is originally from the coal mines of West Virginia. One of my grandmothers was born in Brazil, Indiana. There is a documentary on YouTube about Slick Leonard. It's a good watch.

To be "fair" should the 6A school who get 6 points in the 2 year cycle get moved up? They can't, so maybe the should sit out two years to let the other schools have a chance to win. What I am saying is, if you are going to punish a program for success then be fair and do it for all the schools.

If the income is over $50 million annually, yes. But this also assumes that all PPs are equal. Success Factor show that they are not.

Hence why we also have an Estate Tax. No one cheats death. A different way to think about Success Factor- a high school student has many options in extracurricular activities. Why should he (or she) play for a football team that never wins? Success Factor helps change the paradigm for those programs and give students an extra incentive to play.

very difficult to get noticed in southern Indiana football

This is basically the "quit whining" take which is every bit as tired as the "it's not fair" take.

The post game interview on ABC was so much fun to watch. It summed up how the players feel about their coach! Tuttle was good enough to keep the line moving but he may be instructed to not run anymore! Keep the bucket, then the crossover game. Iowa lurking?

IU 14, Wisky 6 final! Tom Allen should be national Coach of the Year!

I think Huebler being a late canidate hurts him. Mr. Football like the Heisman has early favorites that get more attention because they are early front runners. Roncalli's rise in attention was really in the second half of the season. His stats would have been better if the Southport game had been played.

In my opinion your front runners (in no particular order): Nathan McCahill (Cathedral) 227 of 333 comp/att 3,125 passing yards 0.682 comp % 223.2 pass yards per game 13.8 pass yards per comp 41 pass TD's 4 Int's 136 rush attempts 823 rush yards 6.1 yards per carry 13 TD's 3,948 total yds 54 total TD's 6.3 yards per carry 31 rushing TDs Carson Steele (Center Grove) 264 attempts 1659 rushing yards 118.5 yards per game 6.3 yards per carry 31 rushing TDs 7 receptions 152 receiving yards 2 TDs 33 Total TDs Baron Huebler (Roncalli) 328 attempts 2317 rushing yards 165.5 yards per game 7.1 yards per carry 32 rushing TDs 14 receptions 106 receiving yards 2 TDs 34 Total TDs

We’ve got @brettlow (trump) arguing no one should pay income tax and @dt (aoc) arguing the merits of socialism. Imo Tweaking the SF to a rolling 2 year accumulation period would be an appropriate step. See how it goes for few years.

Brohm is in over his head I’m afraid (although I’m not mad about it). Looks completely lost on the sidelines, play calling is inept, and defense and special teams are new levels of embarrassment every week. Brohm is going to get at least two more years regardless of what happens because Purdue can ill-afford to buyout his contract that he basically swindled the athletic department with. Very good chance Purdue finishes last place the next two years in the B10.

Yes. A common metric used here in Indiana and on the GID is the # of students on free/reduced lunches and/or textbooks. For example, compare this "4A" school: https://inview.doe.in.gov/schools/1011700997/population with this "4A" school: https://inview.doe.in.gov/schools/1000003320/population Look at the "economically disadvantaged" metric (which is the moniker the IDOE has started using recently instead of the politically incorrect "I get cheap/free stuff from taxpayers because I'm poor".)
