Rodney is hitting the Zimas on a Sunday afternoon. I swear to God he is

I'll start by saying that Heritage Hills needs some adversity...this is the week for it, Harrell has the Pats losing this game by 4--SEE BOTTOM OF POST. Rankings are IFCA from week 4. I'll post the cool graphic later in the week for our graphically jealous Memorial friends. Heritage Hills 5-0 (3-0 PAC) at Gibson Southern 4-1(2-0 PAC) Heading into week 5 Heritage Hills was ranked 1st in all 3 polls in 4A and Gibson Southern was ranked 2nd in the IFCA and 4th in the USA & AP polls in 3A. History This is the 54th meeting between Heritage Hills and Gibson Southern and the Patriots lead the series 36-17, The Patriots also faced three teams that consolidated into Gibson Southern in the 1972 and 1973 seasons and went 0-2 VS.

Experts…. Been in the stands at Memorial Stadium many times over a lifetime. Never witnessed anything like that before from an Indiana team. Incredible. Mendoza 5 TD’s to 4 different receivers, 21-23 all over 3 quarters. 7 sacks, gave up a total of 2 yards rushing for the game, while rushing for over 300 yds. I’ve never seen a Hoosier team this strong and this fast. Just got to keep it up going into a tough place to play at Iowa next week. Man, it was a joy to see this type of performance.

That was an epic IU beatdown, considering they were only a 4.5 point favorites before the game. Iowa is up next on the road. Should be another IU win. Then they have a big one against Oregon. That's when we find out just how good this Hoosier team really is. Cignetti is one hellavu coach!

Not this 💩💩💩 again…. 45 D1 players on the roster, we know….

watch me

Lafayette Jeff doesn't have any quality wins. They play in a weak conference and annually are one of the most overrated teams in the state. Their best win is over Michigan City by 17. Merrillville beat Michigan City by 37. Also, Chatard played their backup QB during the Lafayette Jeff game.

You can see Caleb Williams developing right in front of you. That throw on the flea flicker was insane. But the important thing is Johnson is now trusting him with plays like that. That tells me a lot about what Johnson thinks of him, and I trust his opinion.

Come back to this in a few weeks. They all will be at semistate at the very least. And I think 3 of them come home with a state title What if nither make it out there sectionals 👀

Correct. They're both gonna play their college ball in the SEC.

Memoir

It was ... hence the smiley face as I played along.

They have always played Penn State tough, but tend to get hosed playing there. Here's hoping!

Too much for me to tackle. I give up.

I can’t tell if this is a sentence, question or short story. I gotta go

I really believe IU is winning at either Penn State or Oregon. Injuries always have a lot to say about how you play, but IU is much better than last year, and damn, they were pretty good last year.

Oh yeah…many of remember when a Bielema coached Wisconsin team dropped 83 on IU at Camp Randall. No mercy. Can’t lie….yesterday knowing that his 9th ranked team got 63 dropped on them (could have been worse) was extra sweet.

Nice Colt drive to open up the 2nd half. They even scored a TD! 27-6 early in the 3rd quarter.

?? Obama was president last time GS played Chatard. 😃

Great atmosphere. Complete domination by IU. I read last week that Mendoza could be the top QB prospect in the draft. He looks the part.

A chance of Making it to state out of nwi lol put them in the top 10!!!

You called it. That is why we play these games.

What? Who has 45 D1 players? That’s ridiculous? What Indy school has that many. And how does that refer to Andrean? Or Merrillville? I stand by what I said both of these schools should be on this list. As both of them realistically have a shot to be in a title game. Not saying it will happen but they realistically have a good chance. Andeans only comp in the north will be probably Adams central at semistate which on paper there is more talent on the niners. Merrillville on the other hand? They just demolished who they would see at regionals. Semistate?? Lafayette Jefferson?? Maybe? I don’t know a whole lot about the 5A schools outside of NWI. Concord maybe? But not sure concord can hang with the athletes the pirates have? again not saying they are state champs but they realistically are favorites in the north to get there. And at some point Merrillville has to break there semistate curse? Andrean has a better shot to win state but both can be there. I’d go out on a limb and say 4? 5? NWI teams make state this year. crown point, Merrillville, Hobart, Knox, Andrean, north Judson, are all probably favored to get to semistate at the least

IU is better than last year by a significant amount. That defense is nasty, puts pressure on the QB, and are ball hawks. This easily could be 70-10 as they dropped 2 pick 6’s. Just freaking dominant football. As great as Rourke was, Mendoza is a step above, probable top 5 picks in the NFL draft, 39-43 over the last 2 weeks, 14td’s 0 interceptions so far this year

Notre Dame Defense vs New Palestine Offense Advantage: New Pal DC sucks

I agree with everything you’ve said. Not only that, but adding two officials at the Regional level and beyond would give 48 more officials the opportunity to work deeper into the playoffs. Frustration with the tournament advancement process is a significant contributor to the decline in the number of football officials. It could be a part of a retention strategy. The IHSAA has always taken the position that adding officials to work unfamiliar positions with unfamiliar crew mates, and the changes in crew mechanics that would be necessary outweighs any advantage in better coverage.
