No, I just want Indiana High School Football played on grass.

https://apnews.com/article/nfl-nflpa-aaron-rodgers-achilles-injury-grass-fields-artificial-surface-0b6bd58da43d52b0a8578bd7e70228d3 Using that logic lets go back to leather helmets, or no helmets at all.

True. This thread was started as yet more "navel gazing" about how great turf was. You wanted to sweep anything even slightly negative about the product under the rug. Only pretty picture after pretty picture of new turfs fields would suffice.

Yeah, it does bother me. As I have stated before such expensive extravagances have no place in a game played by children. At least Rodgers is probably set to get millions of guaranteed money. I doubt the 16-year old high school player does. https://nflpa.com/posts/only-natural-grass-can-level-the-nfls-playing-field

Yep: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mri-confirms-aaron-rodgers-has-complete-tear-of-achilles-tendon As for Mr. Rodgers:

Apparently only confusing to you. Yes, injuries happen in football. Thank you Mr. Obvious. The question is would that particular injury still have happened on a natural surface? And if it would have would it have been less severe?

In regards to to the Aaron Rodgers injury last night:

Well that didn't end well: https://apnews.com/article/jets-aaron-rodgers-debut-5ccdcee9f5ec74538609ff6f724fb860 Probably done for the reason, and may retire.

Uggh, another poster child for schlubs.

Go Wildkats. Go Cougars.

I come across this schlub while surfing for games and coming across the Maryland - Charlotte contest on 9/9/23. I present to you Mr. Biff Poggi: *sigh* Not a recipe for success.

Mr. Neddenriep's take on the question posed by this forum thread: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2023/09/11/indiana-high-school-football-out-of-state-games-khobie-martin-tough-fishers-ihsaa-img-academy/70817939007/

Go Wildkats.

Pony up a donation to the GID and that may change?

I own a copy of Mr. Neddenriep's book on historic Indiana high school gyms. It's a great book.

Tom Allen is right -- the Big Ten shouldn't be playing on Fridays https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2023/09/07/iu-football-tom-allen-is-right-big-ten-shouldnt-play-on-fridays/70769842007/ Agreed.

Well, exactly who does the IHSAA ultimately represent, it's member schools or the student-athlete? It's pretty clear it is the former, after all they are the ones who pay the IHSAA for membership and offer up their facilities for tournament games where the IHSAA gets a cut. Thank you. It just kind of rolls off the tongue.............

I don't think this this guy was wearing a knee pad:

One of the questions I have about Mr. Doyel's article is this level of interaction Mr. Gillin supposedly had with young Mr. Scoggan. The article talks about Gillin following Mr. Scoggan around the school recording him, multiple text messages sent by Mr. Gillin to Mr. Scoggan, etc. If true, is this normal behavior for a high school football coach towards his players? I know in other youth organizations an adult directly texting a minor is strictly verboten.
