That you don't read. I'm a college graduate who gives back to the community. What is this now, a dick-swinging contest? As for the buyout offer, give me a price. Here you go: "Speaks what exactly? I love God, family, and my neighbors. What else do I need? I'm a college dropout who gives back to the community and could probably buy you 50 times over. Not sure what not knowing that word says about me. So enlighten us. Go ahead and copy and paste an example of "forceful manner" since you have nothing else to do. Going back to work, will check in later. "

It speaks volumes that you have to search for the definition of a somewhat common word, at least common to those of who who actually read works more complex than social media or forum posts. And the word is completely justified here. Your forceful manner in this thread has been on display for everyone to see. And here is a nice rainbow and unicorns type of story for you: https://www.jconline.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/11/07/pine-village-football-descent-mike-fenters-carries-legacy/76096181007/

https://apnews.com/live/utah-valley-university-charlie-kirk-shooting-updates What a tragedy. Much, much too young, regardless of his political ideology.

Sorry that you only want rainbows and unicorns stories concerning Indiana High School football. And I never start a thread "looking for 10 pages." I simply find stories or opinions that may (or may not) spark discussion. Sorry that you hate that, although methinks if this tragedy had occurred in the likes of Evansville, Lafayette, or Indianapolis and not your beloved Fort Wayne you would not be as vociferous.

Yeah, aren't internet message boards great? If you know all the facts surrounding this tragic event why don't spill them for us, Chief?

Depends on the lawsuits and how much FWCS, and by extension the taxpayers, will have to pay out.

Because their constant buzzing is annoying. You haven't been to a Frankfort High School game recently, have you? "Pin drop" comes to mind for the sparse crowds.

Give me a 100% silent drone and maybe it would be ok. Oh, and make it invisible as well so you can't see it moving/bobbing around.

That's a bit of a drive. I hope the Red Devils at least get treated to some pretty good BPT's from Ray's Drive-In in Kokomo.

Indiana University ranked as U.S.'s worst public college for free speech https://www.indystar.com/story/news/education/2025/09/09/indiana-university-ranked-us-worst-public-college-free-speech/85991079007/

Thanks. If such an event happened here in Indiana do you think an IHSAA guy in the white hat would be justified with declaring the game over? What would you have done if such a situation occurred during a game you were officiating?

https://unherd.com/newsroom/why-is-the-media-silent-about-iryna-zarutskas-murder/ I can't even find this story on the AP news website, which I thought may still be the last bastion of objective news reports. It's pretty much true there are no objective, 100% fact-based, major news outlets any more. They have all co-opted by some kind of political idealogy. A sad time for America.

https://www.reviewjournal.com/nevada-preps/bishop-gorman-wins-on-forfeit-over-lone-peak-after-altercation-photos-3438488/ Interesting. Does the IHSAA have a similar rule? If not then should they?

Oh, I have respect for them, and the coaching staff. It has to be tough. But it is pretty clear the majority of the OMG! Athletes at FHS are no longer interested in tackle football. They are either playing soccer or working after-school jobs to help provide for themselves and their families during these tough economic times.

Looks like a real possibility: Hot Dogs are now 0-3, having been outscored a total of 129-8 in those three contests. Not even competitive. A "4A" school getting drubbed by two 1A and one 2A program. Yep, the new Monon Athletic Conference looks to be a schedule upgrade. For losses. A 22 game losing streak and counting.............

Go Maconaquah Braves.

Thank you for your support.

Go Braves.

Along these lines the excellent Mr. Neddenriep has given his prognostications for the 2025 season: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2025/08/19/ihsaa-football-predictions-picking-2025-indiana-high-school-champions-each-class/85703635007/ FTA: Yeah, right. <rolleyes>

Now almost on week 2 with an expired certificate. Good thing this site isn't part of a larger IT organization.

It has been over a week now. Contributing GID members want to know. @DK_Barons?
