Any Indiana Mr. Football candidate who chooses to play at an out of state college/university should automatically be disqualified for winning this prestigious award. Same goes for Mr. and Ms. Basketball.

Of course the head coaches would respond that way. It's part of their livelihood being threatened.

Hell will freeze over before Kokomo voluntarily leaves the NCC.

There already is one: https://academy.bsu.edu/ While they don't charge tuition you do have to pay a significant room & board fee. And admission is relatively selective.

FTA: How true is this statement? If it is valid then I say the rest of the MIC voting them out is justified.

Yep. As I have opined before competitive tackle football should only be played by adults, i.e. those individuals 18 years or older.

Yeah, it's no longer working for me as well, getting some kind of session has time out message. Weird.

Playing football is dangerous to the youth of Indiana.

Yes. Safety first. Not adults living vicariously through their children.

But I thought the IHSAA's primarily enrollment based classification system is used primarily to prevent these massive roster variances? And if there really is no correlation between massive roster variances and instances of injury the IHSAA can do away with it's enrolment based classification system and go to a more equitable system like promotion/relegation. Win-win.

Cris Collinsworth slobbering all over Aaron Rodgers last night was pathetic, almost made me physically ill to listen to it. The best take on that pseudo fellatio of Mr. Rodgers was of course over at Deadspin: https://deadspin.com/cris-collinsworth-sees-the-very-very-best-in-aaron-rod-1848204843

Just about a perfect football game. Running the damn ball and controlling the clock. What the game was meant to be. And the fact that Navy won makes it that much sweeter.

https://theathletic.com/news/ncaa-bans-fake-slide-less-than-a-week-after-pitts-kenny-pickett-used-in-acc-title-game/Gw73ldap3Z5p/ Well it was good while it lasted..........................

Football is by far the most expensive extra-curricular sport/activity offered by high schools, is it not? Shouldn't the community expect some return on such an investment? What kind of civic pride is enabled by saying "well our high school football team is currently on a 25 game losing streak and have lost those games by an average of 28 points a contest, but they have good looking uniforms and the kids seem to have fun playing!" ? No, such thinking is just wearing rose-colored glasses. Meh, 6-8 man is not "football". Better to go with a co-op scheme where two or more schools join forces to field a 11-man team, like in Illinois.

What if that "someone" is the IHSAA? Sure your school could have that 11-member football team but you would be banned from participating in the IHSAA football tournament. And it most certainly has to do with competitive balance. And safety.

Right. I believe you.

Meh, this is weak. Sheridan is in tony Hamilton county, part of the Indy metro area.

US inflation surges to 39-year high as consumer prices soar higher https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/consumer-price-index-november-2021 Thanks, federal government. This is what happens when you increase the money supply by trillions of dollars.

Look, the GID Admin wannabee and resident Grammar Nazi is trying to be cute.

Wow, somebody struck a nerve.................. Quality over quantity, every time. Unfortunately the P/P zealots on this forum don't see it that way. They want their continued string of patsies, especially during tournament time, to beat up on in order to cement their hegemony.

I never said a state championship was the moniker, it was you crowing about "eventual state champion" virtually every other sentence. I would settle for a sectional championship, and again you yourself showed that the team with 19 players couldn't beat the team with 45 players. Define "competitive" in the context of the Indiana High School football tournament.

It doesn't matter if you led the eventual state champs, what matters is defeating them. And yourself just proved that a team with 19 players could not defeat the eventual state champs with a roster of nearly 45 players. If you are not first, you are last.
