Or they could’ve left them on w a middle finger in front of it. 😂

Love seeing the IU uniforms will NOT have the Big Ten logo on them. Great response.

Got it. I actually liked your Conference Frankenstein handle. Allow to to submit one: the Contraction League...

The “Fuel Saving Conference”.

Doesn't matter how you slice it. Notre Dame is as good as anyone in the country not named Alabama or Clemson. The committee chose the four best teams in the country and Notre Dame was one of those teams. Both the AP and Coaches poll also had them at number 4 as well.

😂 😂 😂 “One time, at band camp...”

The first college playoff game I ever officiated was a Juco game at College of DuPage in Illinois. They were a national power, and were crushing the visitors late in the game when their linebacker intercepted a pass on the visitors’ sideline, went out of bounds, and got drilled very late. He got up looking for somebody and all hell broke loose. It happened right in front of me, so when the two guys squared off, I got between them. By this time, they had each other by the facemasks. They were both about 6’3” and 230#. I put a hand on each player’s chest, and shoved them apart ... of course, they didn’t actually move. Not so much as a millimeter. That’s when I knew I was in trouble. We were at the center of a seething mass of people. I realized my feet weren’t actually touching the ground. The mass moved all the way out of the bench area and on to the track, and me along with it. When order was finally restored, I reported the fouls to the Referee (Tom McCabe, a long time Referee in the MAC). Then he asked me “Where is the out of bounds spot?” I told him I had no idea. His response was “well, you better make something up pretty quick.”

Good line-up, but name is off as all school are east of US 31. Maybe East Central League of Conference Frankenstein.

practice facility overlooking the Lake is top notch stuff

A "North Central Conference" without a Kokomo isn't really "North Central". Logically your conference idea is more like the "Near East-Central Conference".

Any grown human being (Kirby Smart) that needs another grown human being to grab them by the waist of their pants to keep them off of the playing field is a douche...that is all.

I’ve been to many of them, Evanston is great in it’s on right.

I get it, the SAC is perfect the way it is for Luers.............en route to 11 state championships. It just doesn't serve the larger schools well. Why is this so hard to explain to you? If you don't understand by now, you never will. My last post on this.

As stated earlier, I think athletics in the Lafayette area are on pretty solid ground.

Forcing all of the students that have gone to TSC schools throughout their education to transfer to LSC would not go over well for any politician. That’s why boundaries like that are not changed very often. Even boundaries within districts. Open enrollment has made district boundaries less of an issue anyway.

Maybe because these players are wearing jerseys that have their university's names on them? Just a thought.

Congrats to Ball State for the win today. It did look like during the post game hand shakes that someone from San Jose State was not too happy with the result and was looking for trouble. I know some don't think Bowl games really mean anything, but the Mountain West is a higher profile conference than the MAC, and to win this way is a big deal. It was also a GREAT time slot on network TV for them to play. Mike Neu has done a great job building this program. Of course when you talk about Ball State having this kind of success, hanging on to the coach comes into question. It helps that Neu is an alum, but BSU is a bare bones athletic program; so keeping him there could be difficult to do. There was a nice moment during the game where Brad Nessler talked about the Hoosier State and they showed the 3 teams that are in a bowl game; definitely a rare football moment for this State.

There is a ton of time to sort this out. You want to make a REAL statement? Release EVERY single one of the kids scholarships that were involved in this riot. Cut them loose. You mean the kid who RAN AWAY after he kicked the player while he was down?

They're 9-2 right now. Playing some good ball.

God bless him. This is awesome.

I’m not in any hall of fame, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express one time. Had to fire the guy running the defense last year. He got his @ss kicked lol

I'm an IU backer. Don't think one should be added if there is no game. Period.

Agreed. A phase-in approach would be the appropriate way. When is Faith Christian going to start playing tackle football?
