2022 South All Stars from the PAC Aiden Jochem (Southridge) Rory Heltsley (Gibson Southern) Ethan Hill (Heritage Hills) Hayden Durnil (So Spencer)

We spend a lot of time talking about non-SIAC teams and hypothetical matchups, but what else are message boards for? In real SIAC news, congrats to these young men for being selected to the N/S All-Star game. Offense: Jacob Potts OL, Jasper. Eli McDurmon WR, Mater Dei. Ray Brodie RB, Memorial. Defense: Garrett Mooney DE, North. Adam Watson LB, Castle. Stephen Pritchett P, Central.

My own personal survey of 3 HCs said they would like to have 1 non-conference game. I don't think any of them "need" it...or any of them who think they wouldn't be just fine without it. I'm just saying, I bet almost all would say it would be a nice thing to be able to have that game to play with, to either create a new rivalry, play down when your down, play up when your up, or for as a reason as dumb and tying the SIAC into the rest of the state for Sagarin. I don't think anyone in 3A was bummed Chatard is where they belong in 4A or even Memorial for that matter. But this season it wouldn't have mattered. Anyone not located on Lincoln Ave. that knows football will tell you that. Yes, the SIAC is a clearly superior conference to the PAC in EVERY sport. It is supposed to be, it is a metro area 4A and 5A conference (primarily). The PAC is primarily a rural 2A and 3A conference. We will NEVER have the athlete pool the SIAC does (especially the P&Ps), for that reason our HC really likes the flexibility of his non-conference schedule. That said, Heritage Hills continues to use the entirety of it's non-conference schedule to play schools on the small side of the conference and despite that, they made it to a state championship game. There is zero logic to this analysis. Here is the thing, Memorial isn't the Memorial of 2017 and 2018 every year. Gibson Southern isn't the Gibson Southern of 2015 and 2021 every year. To sit here and try to give some games more merit than others in the 6 matchups is just silly. Memorial has a great HC and a nice staff, even that QB coach isn't horrible...so they are never bad. GS's record is about the same in regular season each year (especially before we got the non conference flexibility) for the up years and the down years, so doing a record comparison of the teams you beat in the series is just silly. Memorials 3 wins aren't any "better" that the 3 GS wins.... period end of story. A series is a series...I would expect a baseball guy to say we only lost because our stud wasn't pitching LOL (so the games you won don't count LMAO), and that is what you are saying here (the stud being Memorial 2017-2018). I try not to rank our last 11 teams but 2017 and 2018 aren't at the top of our pack either. Not to mention beating us by 9 in 2016 and 2017 may have been Memorials closest games in the playoffs I'm to lazy to research it. More iffy logic here. First off, wasn't it Memorial guys on here in the past talking about how "transitive" property doesn't work in football. Well whoever it was, they were right. It was 21-7 with GS and LB at half and everyone in the stadium felt like a running clock was eminent. Came right out after half and made it 28-7 (there was no "struggling"). We got a little cute in the second half expecting them to lay down and made a couple silly errors to let them back in it. In a 7 game series we running clock that team 4 out of 7. Memorial would have been just another bug on the windshield this season. I know at tailgates and cocktail parties, it's fun to talk about the state championship that got away from the Tigers this year if success factor hadn't cheated them out of what they deserve, what is implicit in the contract. But, even given the advantages they have when playing in 3A, this year probably wouldn't have been the year. neutral field [2021] South Warren (Bowling Green, KY) 31, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 17 neutral field [2021] Brebeuf Jesuit Prep (Indianapolis, IN) 27, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 22 neutral field [2021] Gibson Southern (Fort Branch, IN) 34, [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 22 That said Memorial was really good this year. In Fact probably about as good as our second best team in the Hart era. neutral field [2021] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 28, [2015] Gibson Southern (Fort Branch, IN) 27 The simple fact is most years Memorial is going to be better than us and they should be as a Metro P&P. It should never be close between a Metro P&P with a top notch coaching staff and a rule public school in a corn field. For that reason I don't think most Titan fans feel any kind of rivalry exist at all between these two teams. Rivalries, when at their best in high school sports, are between very "like" or "similar" schools, like a GS and HH for example. Somehow, by the grace of God, GS as been the most consistently winning 3A public school in the state for the Hart era. Yes, I would personally enjoy that uphill battle against a Metro P&P like Memorial as non-conference game. It would be very cool. Was it nice beating Memorial at their homecoming this year in both JV and Varsity basketball....YES it was, but more in that David Goliath kind of way, you know that old testament stuff first book of Samuel (as devout Catholics I'm sure you guys are familiar with that story). But not really in a Rivalry way.

seen some dude w a mullet, get his thong in a bunch b/c he wasn't handed the qb spot at o$u and left for texas, get money for whatever reason....dumb seen some dude from ou get beat out for the starting qb job, get his thong in a twist, leaves town, dude beat him out leaves for u$c, get money for whatever reason....dumb besides that, i see some kids from the region pimping products (minimally) on social media. I say if you sign an nil, scholly gets revoked. If you get a full scholly, you can not sign an nil.

So to swap back to more of what I'll refer to as a "Sellers Offense" should be fairly easy?

I think it's worth mention that the offense was significantly modified from what it was in the 7 years BA was not the QB. We "were" a read option offense before BA. Obviously for us to deviate from who we were, it took an exceptional pro-style talent to do that. I think for another pro-style QB to get his foot in the door he would also have to be an exceptional talent. An athletic running QB, who can throw, would be a return to more of how the offense was originally intending to operate.

Hmm, I have known a number of homeschooled children that were intelligent, socially adjusted, and were able to get admitted to respected colleges and universities. Just because you would be to lazy to homeschool doesn't mean others are. And why shouldn't parents have some control over their children's education?

Man never thought the Selection committee was reading my post on Gridiron Digest before locking themselves in their hotel in Carmel 😉. As a married man this feeling of being "Right" I think its called is a brand new. Better not get used to it HAHA. Biggest check mark as been hit my Mike Woodson in year 1 get IU back in the Tourney awesome feeling and I consider year 1 a massive success in the direction of the program but I'd be remiss if I Didn't mention priority now becomes sustained success What does that look like ? For me as a logical IU fan its hearing their names called every year in the middle of March seeded 1-12 doesn't matter playing Tues, Wed, Thurs, or Fri . In the Midwest, East, South, or West I don't care from there ? You never know its March Madness after all.

That works until both brothers are all grown up and the older brother is now the little brother. (Know this one from personal experience haha)

That’s what big brothers do. Keep little brother in check. 😎

Maybe it was Calvin Ridley.

I wasn’t talking about who plays who and where. I was simply stating which teams will be together in the sectionals. Which I stated I agreed with the post I replied too. Come on now

Sending Noblesville, HSE and Fishers up 69? So Homestead will be hosting all 3? There is a chance Homestead would not even have a home game. A very good chance. So it's not 3 teams going north, it's Homestead going south.

yeah, some on that court have some weak "opinions" as of late, so not surprising.

If parents want to have that much control over their kids education, they should just simply homeschool them. Good luck with that.

Wonder how many were vaxxed and boosted?

What is the bumblin and shufflin potus gonna do now? Being reported that the terrorist harboring nation of Iran (that HATES the US and that biden is trying to get oil from) is shooting missiles at the US embassy in Iraq.. Easily the worst administration in my lifetime. Anyone that supports/supported biden, please tell us why. You "81 million" owe the US and the free world under attack, an explanation. His policies and utter ineptitude and weakness have put our country DIRECTLY where we are at. IMPEACH him NOW! Midterms can not get here soon enough. All of this to distract from what is going on here in the US. Don't forget, right before Russia invaded Ukraine, Hillary was found guilty of spying on POTUS Trump. Maxwell. Durham. Burisma. Hunter. Human trafficking. South border. All to distract. WAKE UP! Quietest I have ever heard the Riden w Biden crew. They would rather our country turn to sh**, than to reinstate Trump policies that work.
