😂😂😂 If that is all it takes, I have a whole team of freshmen all Americans.

Last year was last year. Gotta put Cathedral #1 going in to the season.

Have seen a few of these for the other classes but not one for 6A. This offseason has seen some massive shakeups with conference realignment along with the addition of Cathedral bumping up to 6A for a second time since the implementation of the Success Factor. For the first time in a long time the MIC is no longer the premier football conference in Indiana. In fact there's a very real chance the top 3 programs in the state this year will try and win the 6A title under the independent flag. Also for the first time in awhile there isn't a clear cut favorite heading into the season. Center Grove is looking to be the first team to 3peat in the largest class since Warren's unprecedented four year title run from 2003-2006. The Trojans have a tall task ahead of them replacing a ridiculously talented 2022 that will go down as the best in their schools history, but the Center Grove is now at the point where they no longer rebuild, the simply reload. My preseason top 5 (and the 5 teams who I believe have a realistic chance to win it all) 1. Center Grove---28 straight wins, 2 consecutive state titles, they're #1 until someone beats them. Period. 2. Cathedral---newcomer to 6A, my personal (and homeristic) take is that Cathedral is the most talented team in the state this year. All-State caliber QB and WR should make for a very potent offense. Suffered heavy losses on the OL and defensive unit that was extremely stout last year. 3. Carmel--Greyhounds failed to make it out of sectionals for the first time since 2012 last year. Carmel has a pair of Purdue commits anchoring their defense and should greatly benefit from their move back to the north end of the bracket and should be heavy favorites to represent come Thanksgiving Weekend. 4. Brownsburg--Feel like this is put up or shut up time in this spot. Very talented squad who returns a fair amount from last year and should be the early favorites to win the HCC 5. Westfield---one of the fastest rising programs in the state. Lose a trio of D1 players from a squad who made it to back to back championship games but have enough left in the tank to get there a third time. HSE, Warren, and Ben Davis are who I would consider the best of the rest.

Howdy, TGD has existed in one form or another since 1998. After some deep digging, I believe that I found one of the oldest archived Gridiron Digest forum pages... https://web.archive.org/web/20010126140300/http://sportsonly.com:80/p/1565/#post Enjoy

Swarbrick has been widely quoted as saying 3 things could influence ND’s decision on staying independent: 1. loss of a valued broadcast partner 2. Lack of a clear path to the post-season 3. An economic situation so significant that it compels a reconsideration. In the immortal words of (the late) Meat Loaf, “two out of three ain’t bad.”

Carroll lost some studs. I'm not sure they are a program that is top level every year, but I think Dinan has them on the cusp. They certainly have the student body and facilities to succeed. The Chargers should have a fighting chance in Sectional 2. Homestead is probably the team to beat in the Northeast. They seem to be pretty good every year without fail. But Sectional 3 will be brutal with HSE and Fishers. Temp says: "SAC good." There ya go Temp, now you don't have to post it yourself.

O’Shea might be the best coach in that conference and they have just as many D1 commits as anybody else in that league.

While Cathedral didn't lose the magnitude of players that CG lost, they still lost 9/11 starters on defense and their entire offensive line. While I don't doubt Cathedral's ability to reload, just like Center Grove, still a tough task moving up to this level of competition. You could certainly make a case for Cathedral being #1 and I wouldn't necessarily disagree with it, I do believe CG has earned the right to be #1 until proven otherwise.

This is misleading. While Karczewski still has to be formally approved by the board, he has been working with the team since it returned from moratorium on July 11. While still behind almost all programs, it's not the drastic circumstance people are being led to believe.

Tiktok/reels definitely paint things as easier or that there are shortcuts to the success and we all know what happens when you try to take shortcuts to success

Reels/tik toks are worse than the fake news media. I’m a big fitness/nutrition guy and there are so much false information on these. Even at work I have employees sourcing tik tok as valid information, it’s bad.

Unless that kid is like 6’3 already and put down a great 40 + other measurables I just don’t know if I can believe anything the TikTok says

That's OK, CMA gets the Canadians ... for hockey. When Mel's been drinking, just about everything and everybody is the boogeyman.

Catholics will always be the boogeyman, Mel Gibsons said so

how I imagine calling Jay would go

Not a Purdue fan, but that is pretty cool

Good call. You are correct. Fixed. Thanks.

According to Carroll Twitter account, they are scheduled to play Center grove in 2024 and 2025.

4A south is going to be a gauntlet.

Nice update
