TigerFan20: The All-Metro team beats this team by 2-3 touchdowns. DumfriesYMCA: There goes SIAC fans overstating the talent differential. ThorntonMelon: ermhs gets no respect. They should have had players on the SW Indiana team too. Titan32: How many of the players on the SW Indiana team did EM/MD try to recruit? Jets: Congratulations to Coach Buening. He teaches 87 classes each day too. That's what Southridge coaches do. [Just trying to save a few pages. 🙂 ]

Both are political prisoners being used for propaganda. How many people are in US jails and prisons for low level weed infractions. The “black lesbian basketball player” made a conscious decision to break another country’s laws. This whole debacle is a direct consequence of 30 years of a miserable failure of foreign policy. When politicians are more worried about their own self interests, this is where it leads. Look at some of the key races this past election cycle. A man recovering from a stroke with little cognitive skills is now a US Senator. Florida sent an Uber driver to the house who can’t get an apartment in DC because of his poor credit. He can’t run his own affairs but the voters in his district felt like he could handle the affairs of the state. We got what we deserved, and we’re getting it good and hard.

No doubt. It's why I hope everyone who enjoys the coverage subscribes to the Courier in one way or another. Same with the GID, if you enjoy it, support it before it is gone.

About time to start a new thread for next year so we can all bitch about how our teams are over looked?

We can just close the thread now! LOL

Very classy move by Hamilton Southeastern. Outstanding sportsmanship. Kudos to them. https://www.wthr.com/article/life/heartwarming/hamilton-southeastern-donates-semi-state-money-to-memorial-fund-for-carroll-hs-student-owen-scheele/531-96a41c8e-c71d-4bdb-b2d9-aef3e3c26781 HSE donates semi-state money to memorial fund for Carroll H.S. student The Royals lost to Carroll in a Class 6A semi-state game last month. FISHERS, Ind. — Despite a heartbreaking loss in their semi-state football game last month, Hamilton Southeastern scored a win with a show of sportsmanship after the game. The Royals lost to Carroll High School from Fort Wayne, 21-15, on Nov. 18. The Chargers had dedicated their season to the memory of Owen Scheele, who died this summer after a brief battle with cancer. According to WPTA-TV, Hamilton Southeastern donated a portion of the money they received from the IHSAA for reaching semi-states to the Owen Scheele Memorial Fund, which was created to "allow Owen to touch lives in his community for many years." “Obviously, our outcome on that night was what we wanted, it wasn’t what they wanted,” said Carroll High School athletic director Dan Ginder. “But they were still able to celebrate the life of Owen with us.” Carroll's run ended with a loss to Center Grove in the Class 6A state championship game, but Ginder said HSE's gesture shows the amazing side of sports that goes beyond wins and losses.

Very classy Purdue!

He’d take all the credit, I swear to God he would

That is who Morgan Burke would of hired Bobinski is an actual legit big prize AD imo. His presser yesterday seemed like he was ready to pounce soon. A name that maybe intriguing, DeBoar, then bring Shep back with ya, but would he leave West Coast after being in Washington only 1 year? Funny one that I heard was a combo of Sean Payton and Drew Brees....... I like to partake, however, someone been sipping that sauce too much

Teaching Critical Race Theory Isn't Education; It's Indoctrination: https://mises.org/wire/teaching-critical-race-theory-isnt-education-its-indoctrination Bailey essentially says that critical thinking might be used by those in power to maintain control, so we need to jettison the concept completely. It is tough to imagine a more openly indoctrinating worldview. Another reason that we should not be surprised when students say they are not taught counterarguments to CRT is that CRT activists frame their hypotheses as axiomatic and therefore beyond question. At the National Race and Pedagogy Conference at Puget Sound University, scholar­-activists Heather Bruce, Robin DiAngelo, Gyda Swaney (Salish), and Amie Thurber presented several core tenets of antiracism. Developed by leading CRT practitioners, these foundational tenets represent how CRT is actually applied. One tenet is particularly revealing: “The question is not: ‘Did racism take place?’ but rather ‘How did racism manifest in that situation?’” The underlying hypothesis (that racism takes place in every single situation) is framed as something beyond doubt to preemptively undercut any disagreement. When folks do have the temerity to question CRT, the reaction of prominent critical race theorists is dismissal. In White Fragility, DiAngelo says that every single white person is fragile. How does she know we are fragile? Because when she calls us fragile, we respond with a variety of behaviors including “argumentation,” “anger,” “guilt,” “tears,” “silence,” and “leaving the stress-inducing situation” (that is, the room where the person is being lectured about their fragility). According to DiAngelo, if you are white, you are fragile. If you disagree, you have proved your fragility. If you remain silent, you have proved your fragility as well. And, of course, agreement is also proof of your fragility. This style of argumentation is known as a Kafka trap. You are accused of something. And if you defend yourself, your defense is considered proof of your guilt. As far DiAngelo and her fellow theorists are concerned, disagreeing with CRT is just further validation. No wonder students are being told there are no respectable counterarguments to CRT. Why do CRT advocates openly endorse indoctrination rather than traditional education? They do this because they see social institutions (including schools) as so corrupt that they only produce fixed, preplanned outcomes. In Is Everyone Really Equal?, DiAngelo and Sensoy posit a zero-sum, bare-knuckle battle between different identity groups in which a dominant group seizes power and uses that power to maintain itself above oppressed groups. Schools play a critical role here. DiAngelo and Sensoy compare schools to the panopticon, a hypothetical prison in which inmates are always watched so that they only do what the prison guard wants them to do. In the same way, DiAngelo and Sensoy believe schools (and other institutions) create a harsh atmosphere of self-policing in which white students are conditioned to do what the dominant group wants them to do; that is, continue to keep their boots on the faces of oppressed groups. If social institutions are so corrupt, seizing these institutions and using them to indoctrinate a new generation of student activists motivated to tear down the structures of the dominant group is a moral imperative. When they are talking to the public rather than to each other, critical race theorists sing a different tune. They insist that CRT is only about teaching an accurate version of US racial history. It is time to call their bluff. There are plenty of gifted scholars, like John McWhorter and Glenn Loury, whose work can be used to teach the checkered history of US race relations without resorting to the indoctrinating nonsense promoted by DiAngelo and many other CRT practitioners. Yet another ideology working to destroy government education.

That will NEVER be accounted for! It is so quick to bring up the "recruiting" aspect even though in Indy recruiting students is a must (see every HS that puts a flyer out. What gets missed is kids that went to P/P elementary yet didn't attend a high school be it feeder or Private. When you talk Indianapolis there are plenty of kids attending Ben Davis, Warren Central, and yes Center Grove that attended a Catholic elementary school that is a feeder to P/P High School it just doesn't get talked about (do to agenda mostly).

D1 recruiters put so much emphasis on potential rather than performance that I hope it is never a criterion for one of these awards.

100% agree - and normally I would never bring up/discuss a coaches hire and/or departure - but in this instance I felt the Coach opened up that can of worms by mentioning "institutional transparency and collaboration" - and I was just curious as to what, in fact, that actually meant?

I knew you were just giving me a hard time. lol Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I a million percent agree Snider is a different team on turf in Lucas Oil. I might take turf out of the equation (not many grass fields left anymore). I will say though over the last 5 years (while New Pal and Roncalli have had big Offensive Lines) you would be surprised at the speed both teams actually have had and do currently have. Especially New Pal there have been several players for the Dragons that are deceptively fast. Maxson Hook was definitely one of the most deceptively quick and fast football players I have watched in a long time. Even Spegal surprised people with his open field speed against some pretty elite speed guys (Tracy's at Decatur Central). Even in that 2015-16 State Championship game that Snider beat New Pal 64-61 it kind of turned into a track meet. I personally think (this is just me) that there are a few teams that can do it both ways pound it out in inclement weather or hit with speed in perfect weather Roncalli, New Pal, and East Central would have been in that category. In all fairness I did not get to see much of Snider this year. I do know watching Valpo in the State Championship game. They had a big Offensive Line but their RB Travis Davis had some excellent speed and quickness (I personally love the way he hit the holes like raging bull). Another team that really boosted their speed to me is Center Grove since Eric Moore became the Head Coach. Early on there was a lot more speed out of Warren Central and Ben Davis. CG stayed in games with them with their Wing T offense using some deception. Now I would say I don't see much difference in speed between CG and Ben Davis and Warren Central. Credit for that goes to Coach Moore and his emphasis on speed and agility because he is also their Track coach.

The Tarblooders’ win was the first state championship by a Cleveland public school in the tournament era (50 yrs.).

About done with 7 of the teams so far

Come on Donnie you are slackin' on your spellin'! You know it's Hoosier Daddy!

It's a government institution, run by politics and politicians. What would one expect?

www.dirtycheatincatholics.net Lord, I apologize for that there.

Speaking of recruiting, D Tees is on Facebook going all Mel Gibsons on the Catholic and private schools. I swear to The Virgin Mary he is. I gotta go

You know they are identical to last year, except home/away are flipped, right?

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