It would have 7,000 players on it.

Are we doing an over/under for this?

I would buy a ticket to see that. For what it’s worth, Calpreps: PROJECT A MATCHUP neutral field [2022] St. Edward (Lakewood, OH) 31 (87%), [2022] Center Grove (Greenwood, IN) 14 (13%)

Rumor has it that they will be on CG’s schedule starting next season.

I would have to agree with that. So right now it's: Georgia vs Ohio State Michigan vs TCU

I agree that Alabama should not leap frog anyone. I was messaging an older brother during the game, and he put it best. If the conference title games mean anything, give more credit to a team who played in one, especially if the loss was a close one.

Yes, I just like posting them for everyone to see

they put up a helluva fight against carroll, its deserved IMO

I like the respect given to Lafayette Jeff. Insert 29-31 in between 13 & 14.

I found that St. Edwards won 24-18 for the Ohio Div. one title! WTG!

When does the I can’t believe _______ (who is on Top 50) didnt make __A All-State start happening? **Edit— @Coach Nowlin already put the disclaimer out there. 😂

Wow...Am I living under a rock? I completely missed that it was expanding to 12. Not sure why I thought 8. I just read the 1st round is expected to generate roughly $450M in Revenue from ESPN. I can't readily find any data, but I would be curious to see how much TV Revenue the SEC and Big 10 will earn today. As someone else mentioned, I have a feeling the Conference Championship games will be useless. USC would agree. @temptation I agree with you! An SEC/BIg 10 Playoff game in the Big House, Happy Valley, The Shoe, or Camp Randall beats a meaningless Bowl game in Florida every single year. "The first round of the 2024-25 playoff will take place throughout the week ending Saturday, Dec. 21; the CFP will attempt to schedule those first-round games later in that week. Games will be hosted either at home stadiums of the highest-seeded teams in those games or other sites chosen by that programs for logistical purposes. Those extra games are expected to general roughly $450 million in revenue from ESPN for the CFP and its members"

Don't let your new association with Merrillville and @Piratefan101 diminish your ability to think. Sure, 5A as a whole wasn't very appealing to the eyes; however, Valpo, Whiteland, Snider and North Side were VERY good football teams.

3, 2, 1......LOL

Congrats!

I lied: TODAY https://ifca.net/all-state-teams/ REMEMBER: IF YOU MAKE TOP 50, YOU DO NOT MAKE YOUR INDIVIDUAL CLASS TEAM

After last night, no one now. I think the BCS higher ups are hoping for a TCU loss so they can move Bama back into the 4. I think OSU now definitely in......Bama also if TCU loses

Agree. He will have 3 years of eligibility left and he will most likely get passed by incoming freshman qb Kenny Minchey and I’m sure a transfer quarterback, and then CJ Carr comes in the following year. Pyne statistically had a nice season but if you watched all of the games he could be frustrating to watch at times (missing some easy throws, open targets down field).

Buchner will be the QB in the Bowl Game for the Irish if healthy. Pyne, of course, won't play. It was a very up and down year for Pyne. He looked overmatched quite a lot during the season. No way he would have been the starter this year had Buchner not gotten injured. And he wasn't going to be the Irish QB of the future. It's good for him to move on.

Without a doubt. Who you moving in front of them?

https://inview.doe.in.gov/schools/1011700997/population There are your problem areas regarding extracurricular participation. A "4A" school with a 2A sized athletic talent base, at best.

Whenever I look at our student population, we have some kids in special needs classes that do count towards our enrollment that could never be included in a pool of students involved in extra curriculars. When I pulled up Mater Dei and Providence's faculty members, they do not seem to have a special education department. I think this sir is what you are eluding to. I've coached kids that have had to quit playing football and other sports because they have had to work to help support their family. Probably not a common thing at Mater Dei. All enrollments are not equal. I don't have a big problem with any school recruiting kids for any reason. I just think everyone should be held to the same set of rules if they are competing against each other. Maybe the IHSAA should set some restrictions on movement such as a student can only have full eligibility for the school they begin the school with, unless there is a physical move.

You seem at least reasonably intelligent. Are you are really going to deny the difference in student populations and that it should merely be ignored and/or that it isn't a huge advantage in a enrollment only based system? To your earlier point, many family make this "sacrifice" based on educational opportunities.....that really doesn't matter at all. Whatever the reasons are it results in a completely different student population with drastically less deadweight. I am ok with all of that, but if we want the classes to be as close as we can get them to like for like.....this situation has to be accounted for. I think it says alot about the real motives of private parents who are staunchly against it.

I snagged 2 of them today myself !!! THE BEST well behind Salisbury Steak Day, but that is for another day

Thanks. I think all programs like having veteran players that are Sophomores (Noah Knigga)…it will be very interesting to watch him continue to develop over the next couple of years. I’ve never received a paycheck to coach football so any second guessing is usually based on beer arrogance and limited knowledge. I trust the coaches here in the Burg…lot of W’s over the past 10 years.

As mentioned, Lburg graduated an "incredibly talented QB/receiver duo just last year". Yoon, the QB part of that duo threw for 9115 yards and 95 TD's over his HS career so there are playbooks in the coaching office that have a few pass plays in them. I also like mentioning that Yoon ran for 3649 yards and 51 TD's because those are nice complimentary numbers for a throwing QB at any level. I thought LBurg may try and pass the ball more this year but the Tigers were looking at a new starting QB, a completely new offense, majority of the O-line as first year starters....they didn't know what they had on offense. We already knew RB Bennett was good but he missed games earlier in the season with an injury so I'm guessing the coaching staff was just trying to win games. RB Witte really didn't start running the ball outside of some wildcat short yardage situations until the end of the regular season and start of the playoffs. As far as run heavy, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" I guess. The run heavy game plans got the Tigers to the state finals and after three quarters, they were still sniffing at a championship. If anyone didn't notice, Chatard has a damn good football with gamers and playmakers that, for those first six minutes of the fourth quarter, made championship winning plays. RB Bennett is back next year so LBurg will still be run first. QB Ahaus has no problem with arm strength and it looks like there's WR talent available for next year so with a year a varsity experience under his belt, I think LBurg will throw the ball more next year. I know South Dearborn, Batesville, and others will have something to say about it, but LBurg would love to battle Heritage Hills, Southridge, and/or Gibson Southern again for a chance to win those blue ribbons next year.
