Bishop Dwenger played at South Bend St Joe a few years ago. I felt they have an excellent stadium.

The implication being that if he leaves Indiana for what he perceives to be a career-advancing opportunity at Alabama that is somehow disloyal? Disagree strongly. He’s a professional football coach.

Dude - it took me, like, 8 attempts. This was not the original one. Pretty certain I couldn’t do it again (should have taken notes).

Lysander posted a gif??? Who helped you with that buddy?

Great pic! I watched that game online. SW Indiana has some great nostalgia stadiums with Enlow, Reitz Bowl, Bosse Field, and League Stadium.

Being in the coaching ranks, and knowing a number of college coaches, one thing I have learned.......There is no loyalty to a head coach; and if there is, it is rare. It seems coaches on that level are always looking for the next opportunity.....ALWAYS. It is the nature of the business....not the game, but the business side of this sport. Greg Mattison is a prime example.....coached under Lloyd Carr as a DC; then goes to one of their big rivals at the time in ND. Comes back to UM under Harbaugh and then goes to Ohio State now. To be a strength coach at Indiana where he may be making something around $150,000 a year to Alabama where he could make twice that much is a no brainer. That said, I do not envy college coaches at all; to never really settle somewhere long term is not attractive in my mind. The travels that the ones I know have taken have been ridiculous. There are a couple of them that look back and say yeah, that was nuts.

Dodge City

Here's one from Nov 2018 when we played Chatard in Semi-State.

If all the recently outs line up to support Biden, which no one has done to this point, predictably Bernie is about to be screwed again. Warren needs to see the handwriting on the wall. Bloomberg has spent half a billion dollars to get owned.

Ames Field in Michigan City. Demaree Stadium in Merrillville

Todd Young's senate seat is up for grabs in 2022. According to Klobuchar that's where he needs to be if he's going to play with the big kids.

GS....literally in the middle of a LOT of corn and some beans. The drone picture is before stadium upgrades. New press box and seats from light pole to light pole now.

That's great you guys do that down there. If only we could get folks at Lowell, CP, Penn, and the Ft. Wayne schools to do something similar.... Well, not just those 4 schools, but I'm sure you catch my drift.

I will post results as soon as I receive the files.

It made me put something ... I could not find the "none of the above" tab! I'll be breaking in new digs sooner that later!

People will pick and choose what pertains. I think it pertains, but I'm a male teacher and I have to keep doors open, watch for people's perceptions, and make wise choices because of things administrators do...although I've been called out on here that administrators making the wrong decisions are rare. I've had enough administrators to know that they many do what they can get away with.

I may have misread the tone in his response. Too many BD Snider arguments over the years and it was all instinct. I admit I was wrong.

Sure he can, but it’s a matter of priorities. He can be loyal to his family by doing the best he can to advance in his career and provide for them the best he is able. Sounds to me like that’s what he’s doing. That’s where his loyalty belongs.

It has everything to with high school football. People like Tyler Bruce, and the administrators that enabled him, make life difficult for male teachers everywhere. An example needs to be made of people like him.

You are now arguing for the sake of. Your Entire argument is based on kids are only going to Indiana because they have a PWO and this is hurting small schools. And now you ask me how do I know they won’t play football at Indiana without a PWO. Well if they decided they still wanted to tryout when they arrived at Indiana in the fall, they obviously would not be playing at the smaller schools. Therefore Coach Allen is not at fault for the sudden catastrophic decline in Indiana Small College football. . CONGRATULATIONS!!! You’ve just won the argument..... with yourself.

This thread needs locked or eliminated. We have moved on. It has nothing to do with high school football!

I TOTALLY understand the “well, he is not Hillary” mindset. I do. She was never even an option for me to consider either. But, he is NOT one of us, he has no clue what it means to actually work, live paycheck to paycheck, make ends meet, create a budget, and so many other things. Besides that, he lack of morals is just completely disgusting. I have conservative friends who are die hard Trump fans, now posting on Facebook, images of Mayor Pete and his husband embracing or even kissing. My thought is, do we REALLY want to go down the morality path here? All that said......the f’ing clown show from the Dems is not going to change a thing. It can be comical to watch. I refuse to watch live....I get enough of that kind of nonsense in my classroom every day. 🤣

You realize there are a finite number of scholarships, right? Allen has one job, and that is to win games for IU. If he thinks expanding his PWO program will help, then he absolutely should do it. He has no obligation whatsoever to “Indiana small college football.”

I used to love working at places that are literally in the middle of a cornfield. There are several places like that in the northern half of the state. Perhaps even more in the southern?

Do you think all of these guys would go to Indiana if they weren't offered PWO?

The GID needs a "wow" emoji

Best Quote I've seen in a while. Very accurate statement

I’ve found that with Hudl, phones, texts, weekend meetings don’t necessarily have to happen anymore with a few exceptions. It can also be easy to confuse being busy with being productive. Just from my experience, I’m a better coach when I’m rested and I take time to recharge.

James Lipton, longtime host of 'Inside the Actors Studio,' has died at 93: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/02/entertainment/james-lipton-obit/index.html Truly an American Icon. He will be missed.

The name combined with the mascot sounds very un-PC like. Just saying.

Because head coaches who have success at catholic schools tend to gravitate to other catholic schools......once they've found out how hard it is to win at a public school.

Buttigieg abruptly ends presidential bid: https://www.indystar.com/story/news/politics/2020/03/01/democratic-primary-pete-buttigieg-suspend-campaign/4925359002/ Yep, when I first say the headline money was what came to mind. Now he start schmoozing for possibly a VP bid?

Also if your school has a mascot name based on a Native American motif (Indians, Braves, Chiefs, Redskins, etc.) the school colors must have red in them. No exceptions. So poor Lake Central fails again.

Trump Is Trying to Ride the Pentagon Gravy Train to Reelection: https://mises.org/wire/trump-trying-ride-pentagon-gravy-train-reelection That tweet was as much a message to the American public as to Iran’s rulers. Its subtext: Donald J. Trump (and he alone) has restored the US military to greatness after two terms of neglect under the less-than-watchful eye of Barack Obama; he’s not afraid to use it; and he deserves credit for everything he’s done, which means, of course, widespread political support. Nevermind that Washington has “only” spent about one-third of his claimed $2 trillion on military equipment since he took office, and that Pentagon spending reached a post-World War II record high in the Obama years. No surprise there: Trump has never let the facts get in the way of a good story he’s dying to tell. He has, by the way, made similar claims to his most important audience of all: his donors. At a January 17 get-together with key supporters at Mar-a-Lago, his lavish Florida resort, he bragged that Pentagon spending had increased by $2.5 trillion on his watch. In fact, that figure is closer to total Pentagon spending in the Trump years. For his claim to be accurate, the Pentagon budget would have had to be $0 in January 2017, when he entered the Oval Office. Still, however outlandish what he says about the military may be, the underlying theme remains remarkably consistent: I’m the guy who’s funding our military like never before, so you should keep supporting me big time. Don’t get me wrong. In collaboration with Congress, Trump has indeed boosted the Pentagon budget to near record levels. At $738 billion this year alone, it’s already substantially higher than spending at the peaks of the Korean and Vietnam Wars or during the Reagan military buildup of the 1980s. It’s more than the total amount spent by the next seven nations in the world combined (five of which are US allies). Only Donald Trump could manage to distort, misstate, and exaggerate sums that are already beyond belief in the service of an inflated self-image and ambitious political objectives. Political Manipulation and “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” President Trump’s recent antics should come as no surprise. His use of Pentagon spending and military assistance for political gain has been hiding in plain sight since he entered the Oval Office. After all, that’s what the impeachment charges against him were all about. He was manipulating US military aid to Ukraine to strong-arm its government into generating dirt on Joe Biden, whom Trump, obsessed by poll numbers, saw at the time as his most threatening rival. And don’t forget the president’s penchant for dipping into the Pentagon budget to pay for his cherished wall on the US-Mexico border, a vanity project that plays extremely well with his political base. So far, he’s proposed taking $13.3 billion from the Department of Defense’s budget to fund that “big, fat, beautiful wall,” $6.1 billion of which has already been granted to him. For good measure, Trump pushed the Pentagon to award a $400 million contract for building part of the wall to Fisher Sand and Gravel, a North Dakota firm owned by one of his donors. The Ukraine scandal and the wall aside, the real politics of Pentagon spending—that is, of translating military dollars into potential votes in 2020—will come, Trump hopes, from his relentless touting of the alleged jobs being generated by weapons production. His initial major foray into portraying the buying and selling of arms as a jobs program for the American people occurred during a May 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia, his first foreign visit as president. He promptly announced a $110 billion arms deal with the Saudi regime that would, he swore, mean “jobs, jobs, jobs” in the United States. In reality, the agreement itself—and the jobs to come from it—were both far less than advertised, but the message was clear enough: this country’s deal-maker extraordinaire was selling weapons over there and bringing jobs back in a major way to the good old US of A. Even though many of the vaunted arms deals he boasted about had been reached during the Obama years, he had, he insisted, gotten the Saudis to pay through the nose for weaponry that would put staggering numbers of Americans to work. The Saudi gambit was planned well in advance. In the middle of a meeting with a Saudi delegation in a reception room next door to the White House, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner suddenly called Lockheed Martin CEO Marillyn Hewson. He asked her about a missile defense system that the administration wanted to include in the mega arms package that the president was planning to announce during his upcoming visit to the kingdom. According to a New York Times account of the meeting, the Saudis’ jaws dropped when Kushner dialed up Hewson in front of them. They were amazed that things actually worked that way in Trump’s America. That call apparently did the trick, as the Lockheed missile-defense system was indeed incorporated into the arms deal. The arms-sales-equals-jobs drumbeat continued when Trump returned home from his foreign travels, most notably in a March 2018 White House meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. There, in front of the cameras, the president brandished a map showing where tens of thousands of US jobs linked to those Saudi arms deals would supposedly be created. Many of them were concentrated in states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Michigan that had provided his margin of victory in the 2016 election. His trumpeting of employment linked to Saudi arms sales went further over the top when he claimed that more than half a million American jobs were tied to the sales that his administration had negotiated. The real number is expected to be less than a tenth of that total and well under .03 percent of the US labor force of more than 164 million people. Much as Trump would like Americans to believe that US weapons transfers to the brutal Saudi dictatorship are a boon to the economy, they are, in reality, barely a blip on the radar of total national employment. The question, of course, is whether enough voters will believe the president’s Saudi arms fairy tale to give him a bump in support. Even after the Saudi regime’s murder of journalist and critic Jamal Khashoggi, the president continued to argue that the revenues from those arms deals were reason to avoid a political rupture with that nation. Unlike on so many other issues, Trump’s claims about arms sales and jobs are maddeningly consistent, if also maddeningly off the mark. Trump to Ohio: “You Better Love Me” Perhaps the president’s most blatant linkage of Pentagon spending–related jobs to his political future came in a March 2019 speech at an army-tank plant in Lima, Ohio. After a round of “USA! USA!” chants from the assembled crowd, Trump got right down to it: Of course, the president wasn’t actually responsible for keeping the plant open. In the early 2010s, the army had a plan to put that plant on “mothball” status for a few years because it already had six thousand tanks—far more than it needed. But that plan had been ditched before Trump ever took office, in no small part due to bipartisan pressure from the Ohio congressional delegation. Misleading statements aside, the Lima plant is doing just fine at a time when the Pentagon budget is running at nearly three-quarters of a trillion dollars per year, and Trump is capitalizing on it. He repeatedly returned to the jobs argument in his Lima speech, and even reeled off a list of other parts of the country involved in tank production: Trump may not be able to find all the places in which the US is at war on a map, but he’s made a point of getting well briefed on where the money that fuels the US war machine goes, because he views that information as essential to his political fortunes in 2020. The Domestic Economics of Weapons Spending What Trump failed to mention in his Lima speech is that much of America is not heavily dependent on Pentagon weapons outlays. The F-35 combat aircraft, the most expensive weapons system in history and widely touted as a major job creator, is a case in point. The plane’s producer, Lockheed Martin, claims that the project has created 125,000 jobs spread over forty-five states. The reality is far less impressive. My own analysis suggests that the F-35 program produces less than half as many jobs as Lockheed claims and that more than half of them are located in just two states—California and Texas. And in fact, many of them are located overseas. Most states are not heavily dependent on Pentagon spending. According to that institution’s own figures, in thirty-nine of the fifty states less than 3 percent of the economy is tied to it. In other words, 97 percent or more of the economic activity in most of the country has nothing to do with such spending. ....
