I would have to agree that words really can't do justice. This man instilled so many qualities into my life and all of those qualities helped mold me into the man I am today. it was an absolute honor to play for this man on and off the field and I have so much respect for him and his family. The X's and O's are just a small portion in what you get with Coach Mannering. At the time of playing for him you think all you talk about is football, but looking back at it now, the structure I lead in life, the work ethic I live by, it all comes from one thing and that is the Lewis Cass Football Program. I am so blessed that he built that program. I thought back then he was just making me a better athlete, which he was, but all in all that was just a tiny detail. These traits he imprinted onto me in my young age are the reasons for success in my everyday life. He is one reason I hold my head high in times of defeat. He is one reason I don't quit. He is one reason I remain loyal to everything I believe in and do. He is one Reason I present myself Proper. That program really worked on me without me even realizing. When a Coach can have that kind of affect on someone without even trying, you know that it comes natural and it says a lot about someones character. He isn't just a good coach he is a fantastic mentor at school and in the community. He never really had to preach on what we needed to be like or how we needed to act. He just had an expectation. When you can get through to kids without beating something into their head or without even bringing the topic up you have something special. He is a hell of a man. He is a hell of a coach. He is a Hell of a role model. With all that being said I hope Coach enjoys his Retirement it is well deserved. I speak on behalf of all players from Lewis Cass who were fortunate enough to play for you. Thank you for all you have done and we all cherish every second that we had as a King! We wish you the best.

It’s all good. At least it wasn’t a pic of Hillary

Edit

I would agree IO. It is amazing just how much she looks like Tina Fey.

The answer being: IND-ATL Saturday 1-25 AMTRAK $226 8:10 Southwest $199 1:40 gate to gate Romance is over rated in my opinion. Rail freight makes sense, rail passenger no longer does.

Well said... Does anyone else read through this topic and feel like we are honoring someone who has just passed away? Lol It is really awesome to see confirmation into what Cass alumni already know to be true.

Glesing only lasted 1 year? What happened?

Senator Sanders is the same kind of leader as FDR and Teddy Roosevelt.

Uni -Fear

She's a 6 according to the IMPOTUS

Why not, they seem like a reasonable group. https://defensemaven.io/bluelivesmatter/news/project-veritas-video-cops-will-be-beaten-if-bernie-doesn-t-get-nomination-Bc8QfUmU80qTEbz1j1-qFg?fbclid=IwAR1K-mU5R8o9_Nr34oQR5MoJ65x4daj2UIihWRv1pSwfFQGESUyRxJVSMrc

The butt-whipping they took from Michigan - a team exposed as a pretender - sealed their fate. They’ve won 33 games over the last 3 seasons. But they deserved what they got.

Is it just me or does she just keep getting hotter the older she gets? @Irishman

I have been on opposite sideline from Scott since 1991- we had a lot of great games and I truly loved playing his teams. They were always extremely well prepared, played their tails off, and always played with class. I will sure miss him on the field, but will miss him a lot more off of it. this is a huge loss to Indiana football but I sure understand the time comes for all. I wish him and his family all the best in his retirement, and I won't miss trying to defend the buck sweep 25 times in 48 minutes, Good luck coach, you're as good as there has ever been in this profession.

Looks like Clay may interview a dozen or more for the job...so it seems it won’t be that hard to fill

We will take him!!!

I don't think words can do justice what it mean't to play for him. I know personally I owe an awful lot to him. I read in today's Kokomo Tribune that from 2003 to 2008 his record was 67-10 during that time and I truly believe that you can credit a lot of that to him being a "player coach" so of our teams then were not the most athletic , or biggest teams but we would run through a brick wall for Coach Mannering. I wish he would have gotten his title that he deserves. I will always be proud to be a King and that stems from the pride he took in Lewis Cass. I hope retirement from the game treats him well.

Just about any wing or straight t team will line their OL in this way. They're not any more off the line than many WR's typically are when they're considered on. Maybe spread teams don't benefit as much from the spacing that this alignment creates, so it's not seen as often. I would argue that spread teams often will violate the illegal man downfield on RPO's, though. I don't think being lined up head-to-hip on the center is anywhere near the advantage as the RPO games that are played. I guess it comes down to how much officials want to nitpick.

I just vomited in my mouth

Coach Scott Mannering will always be one of the best to coach high school football in the state of Indiana. Not only the decisions he made on Friday nights, but all the intangible things he did for his players & coaches both in-season & out. I am truly blessed to have had the opportunity to be part of your coaching staff for a few years at Lewis Cass. Coach Mannering, you will sure be missed on the Friday night sidelines.

This is worth reposting: If you haven't watched this video, be prepared for a twinkle in the eye. This sums up who Coach Mannering is not as a coach, but as just a guy who we all could learn from in life, as a parent

I would assume so, but you would have to talk with an old lineman and not an old skill guy! LOL I would guess Bullhorn's explanation would be as good as any. I was more of the opinion that if a rule was not being followed by one of the teams and not enforced by officials it would create a competitive advantage. I was afraid I was going to have to pull a Lt. Kaffee/ Col. Jessup exchange on Bobref something like this: Me: Why the two orders, Bobref? I said the linemen were in no-man's land, you said they were not and gave me the definition. I can have the court reporter read it back to you.... Then I posted a picture and you said the linemen just needed a "talk to" and it wasn't a foul. So why the two orders? If they're not in no-man's land, why do they need a "talk to"? I want the TRUTH! Bobref: You can't handle the truth! I've officiated games and seen offensive formations your mind can't even fathom. You want me to throw the flag, you need me to throw the flag. Because we play a game that has rules. And those rules need to be enforced. We use phrases like "preventive officiating" and "talk to", and you use them as punchline. Unless you're willing to pick up a whistle and man a crew on Friday nights, I would rather you say thank you and just be on your way. [I mean this with all due respect and completely in jest. Frankly, it's the offseason, and I'm bored. LOL]

From a coaching standpoint, while it definitely is a lower tier bowl game, coaches get an extra few weeks of practice in; plenty of time to start looking at the younger talent on the roster and get quality reps in. Otherwise you wait until Spring practice.m

Honestly the travel times don't bother me. Any rational individual should know what they are getting into if they choose rail over plane travel. I can see that the romanticism and more leisurely pace of traveling across the country by rail can be an attraction to certain individuals, but why should the federal government and the taxpayer have to pay for it?

Why? What kind of leadership qualities do you believe Mr. Sanders brings to the office of POTUS? Or is it all about the "free stuff" he and the other socialists are promising to give to Americans?

The reason being?

FDR I can understand, but please expound on the shared leadership qualities and policy beliefs between Mr. Sanders and Teddy Roosevelt.

Not the point of the article at all. But nice attempt at deflecting from the real issue.

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/amtraks-big-lie Agreed. Amtrak needs to be weaned off the taxpayer funded teat and learnt to sink or swim on it's own.

https://reason.com/2020/01/15/occupational-licensing-hurts-the-little-guy/ Agreed. These frankly draconian licensing rules/laws need to be repealed. If members of a certain industry want to voluntarily form associations that push their own private licensing rules then by all means they can do so. What we don't need is the state once again choosing the winners and losers.
