So YOU think East Noble is 'less than' Northridge? No matter the issues that the Legends are currently going through.... PULEEZE

Then that MAY have been assesed incorrectly. If you have video... please share. Sounds like spot foul assessments....or perhaps end of run/kick. I can't say much more without more information to make an accurate account of what was done.

Why is the downgrading of the 'better' teams in the NE8 ALWAYS on full display when it comes to the SAC? The NE8 is a formidable conference that has ebbs and flows, but to think that East Noble would be a middling SAC team is preposterous! Clearly they would win the SAC "small" division. And in the big division... perhaps 3 or 4. They stack up well against Bishop Dwenger. As as for THAT scenario....well we can find out about Leo/East Noble v. BD THIS year in the playoffs.

Where did the FOUL(s) occur? And YES there has been a change in the assessment of offensive penalties beginning THIS season. If an offensive foul occurs in or behind the previous spot.... the penalty is assessed from the previous spot, NOT at the spot of the foul. This does NOT include intentional grounding though. That is still a 5 yard spot foul with a loss of down. I am sure that Bob will expound upon this... But this a quick response late night.

@BTF Sorry, but I must concur. Not so fast with a "Panther collapse". It may be close, but this is more of a 'tell' about EN, than it should be about R. Nelson Snider.

Then YOU don't want to be around THIS crew... We are "strapped" like a MOFO!

North Side gets a 'pass' IMO. 2 significant injuries to their team, may have had an impact. Now, in NO WAY should Northridge be concerned about that situation....the Raiders came to play! Won the contest, and no matter the reason(s).... As Parcells said: "You ARE what your record says you are!" The Raiders are 1-0...no matter how/why they got there. Luers is Luers...talk at the end of the season. The Knights should be around in 2A. Not so sure about the Saints. We'll see how they regroup. All in all, the SAC kept some of the potential 'blowouts' close. That should be taken into account as they have stepped up their non-conference schedules. This is what we have been demanding for years.

I'm an unbiased official. Therefore I don't make any "picks". Had I made SAC picks this past week....I'd have broken legs! **This is because of the 'spread'... I was shocked in many ways. Week one bodes well for FW area football, IMO.

FYI... both Eric and Bud were absolutely wonderful in their management and understanding of the situation. I have nothing but the utmost respect for both of them!!!! My issue was with one Assistant Coach who believed this was his "Lombardi moment"...

Ok. Time to OUT myself! There wasn't a damned thing that we could do as officials to temper the situation That also applies to the Head Coaches involved. (I have a problem with ONE Assistant .. but I'll keep that to myself). I have forwarded suggestions to others as to how to mitigate the problems in the ensuing years. Hopefully these suggestions will be considered We, hopefully realize that the players were not necessarily the 'true' representation of Indiana All-Stars in many cases. But the majority of them were there to be given a fair assessment of the ability to allow them to perform at the next level Sadly, a few knuckleheads thought this was their star moment to focus on them. I am sure that scouts/schools decided....NO it's not worth the effort. I'm sure that some have a MAJOR response as to what they/wouldn't do.... but I'm totally 'Scott' convinced that I've been there done that at levels that I expect to be, always! You may never be.... Let's learn, move beyond this incident. Time to make changes and adapt.

The refs....SAVED the situation from devolving into a total fight. Seriously? Testosterone with Assistant Coaches and plyers nay have been an issue. 2024 is now what's to be looked forward to

Happens. MIC vs. Independent.... NUFF SAID

I'm fairly certain that a number of the idiots, will arrive at the clear understanding that "they" are finished with organized sports under a certified/recognized organization.

This AIN'T you Temp. You GET it, in this case!

Wow, This thing has taken off into a full-blown blog of ridiculousness! We have posters saying they are coaches, but in reality are officials, acting "scott-free" with what they would or would not have done. Guys, not aware of the nature of ANY "All-Star game" and the looser nature of allowing participants to 'enjoy' themselves during the situation. I've never seen an All-Star contest officiated or conducted as a regular season game in ANY sport. Question: Who's the governing body that could or would hand out sanctions to a player or coach in this situation? Oh, right NONE! Has anyone ever considered that those who tended to make fools of themselves, just cost themselves the very opportunity to play at the next level by their actions last evening? I'm pretty sure that there was a myriad of scouts/coaches there from various institutions that took notes on the behaviors as well as the in-game abilities of some. Then made a simple determination....It ain't worth the trouble.

Coach, I should have paid closer attention....OUR schedule just changed a bit. Fine with the difference, and we'll be there.

Honestly, AC has one of the VERY BEST turf fields in NE Indiana. I'd have ranked it right there with Carroll (who's switched to field turf). I have no issue with AC keeping a grass field!!! The issue will/could be it getting chewed up by a rainy fall season that comprises all of the FB teams from Middle School through Varsity HS. It's an occurrence that so far hasn't been an issue with AC....

🥺

FW South Side is ahead of schedule with their field... Turf this fall for the Archers...

Yup. Now moving forward a year with CHS... THAT'S a hell of road schedule to through. I am not at all sure what Penn is doing. Kinda out of my perspective...I have games there, but haven't had any real insights into what they should/shouldn't do inside or outside of their conference (or even if they will be in one).

Already happening

We all know that the talent which Northrop has, routinely is in the stands on Friday nights. It's inexcusable that past the days of Matt Stinson this program has been an outlier in 6A. They absolutely deserve to be placed firmly in the "considered" conference, if no reason other than to: Elevate the recent shame they have provided within 6A. I am a Quentin Brown fan...I think he may.make them relevant to 6A. I truly believe that HE can get some of those 'track stars' to participate in FB.

Whitko to NECC should an 'opening' happen there...or am I just Falcon kidding myself? 😀

Whatcha gonna do when Northfield and Southwood ultimately HAVE to merge? Of course some numbers will go elsewhere, but the majority would be within the same building.....and it wouldn't be called "Northwood".... perhaps...Southfield?

@ BTF 2nd year of Warren Central v. Snider will be on Saturday Week One in 2024 at Spuller Stadium. Just an FYI...
