  1. Coach Humphrey was a pretty young guy, what happened?
  2. Indiana should be on CST. I don’t care what time it is in Cincinnatti, Louisville, or Owensboro.
  3. My issue isn’t age discrepancies. I’m more concerned with young undeveloped necks supporting young undeveloped heads, with an additional 3 pounds added to it. Football also requires a certain amount of mental maturity to play the game and 56’ers struggle with it, much less younger kids. I understand younger kids don’t hit hard enough to hurt each other. Yes you’ll get the odd kid falling wrong, I get all that. I think there’s enough evidence that there could be a link between CTE and other brain related diseases and repeated trauma to the head. The info’s out there, I’m not here to debate it, just stating my opinion. Quite possibly the larger issue is how many slow developers do we lose because they were out in a no win situation, get the shit knocked out of them and say screw this. If you’ve been involved in youth Football for 10 years I’m sure you’ve seen the 4th grade runt that grows up to be an all conference lineman. I’m sure you’re also aware of the 4th grade phenoms that never even see the field or play in HS. I’m interested in growing the game. If we don’t adapt, and I feel like the NFHS has done a great job with recent rule changes that moves us in a positive direction. I am not advocating for banning tackle football under 7th grade. I feel like we’re at a place where we can still accomplish the fundamental skills we need without full contact in 56ers, and if the powers that be see fit to do such a thing, I wouldn’t be mad about it.
  4. Not sure on your age analysis but physically there’s a hell of a difference between 2nd/3rd graders and 7 graders. Yea, I’m clearly in the sit at home on the coach camp. Unbelievable!
  5. Young men today don’t play football for a variety of reasons. Many because it’s too hard, which is exactly why young men need this game, because it’s hard. That being said if tackle football were to be restricted to 7th grade up, I wouldn’t be mad about it.
  6. How many embarrassments in that lot?
  7. I showed up for a JV game late in the season to be informed we would be playing 8-man. I wasn’t even sure if we could do such a thing, but we had two teams there and four officials so we went with it. All that being said, I’m all for smaller schools doing whatever they need to, for kids to play. I don’t want anything to do with it. Didn’t strike me as particularly appealing.
  8. Games I saw I thought the program was making progress. That being said I did not see them this year. I said what I said.
  9. I really have no idea on that. I know there are several really bad football programs across the river in a short driving distance. I’ve worked there in Football and Softball with KY teams. Huge investment in facilities in the last few years, Coach Wilson was winning some games. I thought they were making some headway. Why do I get the feeling there’s more to the story.
  10. This has been botched from day one. These families have been thru hell and those two young ladies demand justice. All starts with Doug Carter and it filters thru the entire system.
  11. Pretty cool. My kids attended a county HS that has been an elementary school since its consolidation into Seymour. There is still a lot of pride in that school.
  12. I would say there’s a better chance of starting soccer in Brownstown than starting football at Barr-Reeve or Loogootee.
  13. Apparently someone without a great deal of basketball knowledge.
  14. What’s it going to cost when they fire this guy?
  15. Negative. I don’t eat fish so…… I don’t drink water either….because fish fu…in it.
  16. You will see a lot of names of former Ritter stars at Chatard. Chatard has always competed well, but with the steady influx of west side kids coming in, I could easily see them in 5A on SF in the next couple of cycles. Ritter’s loss is Chatard’s gain.
