You spelled "jerk" wrong.

You HAVE to be a masochist for starting this thread. For shame, sir. Or ma'am. No judgement.

I don’t think Gibson Southern belongs on this list then. Good-Great program but only advanced past sectionals once in Brady Allen’s career. Yeah they’ve had it really tough with Memorial in their sectional, but I don’t think you can be considered a top 10 public program with 1 sectional title in the past 6 years.

I was being facetious with my chagrin. But since you mention it, Indiana Fan's qualifiers for making his list include: "Recent success, moving in right direction, great leadership, places people would want to play at and be involved with." In no particular order, I'd say GS would respond with "Check, check, check, check aaand check." In the last ten years, with the exception of 2014 and 2020, GS has lost to the eventual 3A state champ or runner-up every year. Memorial (3x), Chatard (2x), Brebeuf, and Heritage Hills. That only accounts for nine years, though. Not sure what the outcome of the tenth was, but I will Google it and let you know what I find out.

Started thinking of the best overall all around football programs in the state AT THIS TIME. This can obviously be opinionated for some and doesn’t always have to reflect state championships. I tried to think of the best run programs regardless of class. I also kept private schools off of this this because I consider those programs to be run very differently (youth leagues, middle schools, etc.) Top 10 in my opinion: Center Grove Carmel Westfield New Pal Gibson Southern West Lafayette HSE Ben Davis Valpo Decatur Central Honorable mentions- Brownsburg, Zionsville, Mt. Vernon, East Central, Lawrenceburg

If you can’t have fun in a town named after milfs you gotta be a queer, I swear to God you do. I gotta go

That’s always the way it is … until the “outside” starts winning games.

It appears that this list went solely off of last years Sagarin Ratings.

I guess “tough” is one way to look at it. Another possibility is “ego-driven” (at the kids’ expense). But I wish him the best of luck. Whiting has always had a nice program and a good fan base.

Yeah him and I believe yelton didn’t like each other. I heard alll about this one

One of them petrified pterodactyl eggs, huh?

What makes Westfield a better program than Pioneer? What makes Hamilton Southeastern a better program than Adams Central? Just curious what your criteria was when coming up with a list of "what makes a great program."

Guess I didn't realize I had been on this forum that long. I swapped messages with Tim many times but only met him in person once -- just a few days before he passed. He was the real deal and was in it for the right reasons. And he definitely had a weak spot for linemen. I remember him being anxious for the birth of his fourth(?) grandchild who I believe was to be named Gracie. I got Gracie a onesie that said "Trojan Football" or something similar. Never got to give it to Tim so I mailed it to his wife instead. Tim is definitely missed but what a legacy he left. Thanks for the post Bob.

Indiana’s Republican supermajority General Assembly plans to address the state’s abortion laws during a July 6 special session. Get ready for the sh*tshow to end all sh*tshows.

Just what this country needs: another divisive force to drive us further apart. A bunch of old men telling women what they can and cannot do. Shameful.

An invisible fence. Trained my hound dog on one in 2 days…

That's because he's Scottish.

Guess we are being penalized for not being in sectional 30.

The Running Beige Peaceniks. Well, maybe "beige" took it too far. The Running Clear Peaceniks. Tbh, the "running" moniker may be in violation of the ADA. All right, the In Motion and/or Static Clear Peaceniks. Ok, so "peaceniks" does exclude the warmongers among us. Ok, I got it: The In Motion and/or Static Clear Peaceniks for War and/or Temporary Cease Fires. Crap... is "clear" excluding those who are opaque and/or translucent?

Time to bring back this guy. @Irishman
