  1. Serious question for the participants in this thread: Do you believe the all-in/qualifier is the biggest stumbling block holding Indiana HS Football back?
  2. We beat BNL my Junior year with the old “yellow punt”, the very play @Bobrefdescribed. I was a dumbass HS kid and knew it was jank.
  3. HS does not have the same substitution rules as NCAA or NFL. There are no requirements to allow the other team to sub.
  4. On another note, when you flag the play or shut it down, and coach lose his sh….Coach you remember before the game when I asked if you had any unusual plays or anything we needed to be aware of, that would have been a good time to mention this.
  5. I scrolled back on the vid, the series started nose on the 22. The end of the run looked to clearly be to the 12, thus a first down. I understand the PR move, but seriously? Many moons ago when I was on the chains we had a crew chief that didn’t measure one time he should have and got gun shy and all of the sudden he wanted to measure everything within two yards. Until one night I think it was about to be our third measurement and he stops the clock and looks at me…..I just shook my head no and held up three fingers and said third down. After the game in the locker room we came to the agreement if I said take a look he could measure if he liked. As I said I get the PR move but if there’s no reason to measure it if the coach is just looking for another TO.
  6. Both wings throw flags at the snap, home team picks up a first down. I’m told A has five guys in the backfield. I of course give the “do all” five yard penalty signal and we mark off the foul as the PA announcer announces false start on A. We get the ball set and I blow the RFP and in the quiet few seconds I hear that one loud mouth, “if it was a false start why didn’t you blow it dead?” I kind of chuckled. Told the guys in the locker after, that kind of summed up the evening.
  7. He’s outside the FBZ, the ball crossed the LOS, that meets all the criteria to throw the ball away.
  8. Need to be clear before moving forward, was this a PAT or a FG attempt?
  9. I saw BN a few weeks back I thought this would be an interesting matchup. We talked tonight going to our game and the consensus was it would be 50 something 40 something and that BN could get a few stops to win it. BN’s got some dudes, QB was fun to watch. I think it’s an interesting off season coming up. Shout out to the seniors who played their final games the last couple weeks. We talked about it tonight in the locker room before the game, that last game. Contrary to popular belief IO does have a heart, and I feel for the young men this time of year.
  10. Yes I agree 100%, but I wouldn’t be much of a coach if I didn’t take advantage of my knowledge….and others’ lack thereof.
  11. You guys might be amazed at what I was able to talk umpires into when I was coaching.
  12. Very real chance Football season ends for the HHC this week.
  13. No clue wasn’t there, all of everyone’s TO’s are accounted for.
  14. I have been told that SC used their final TO at 0:14.6. It should be noted that officials always write down the time remaining on the clock and the period when we write down TO’s.
  15. You know this is just like going for two, you’re just chasing points 😀
  16. I believe they are entitled to practice until the state finals are over. This game will NOT be played over or any part of it be subject to protest.
  17. Sorry I missed this, short night, long morning that finished with my toes in the sand. My HL was getting updates on our way home Friday, sounded exciting. Hopefully the Panthers can carry that momentum forward into the off season.
  18. I haven’t been to Washington in probably 8-10 years, but Washington always had a nice playing surface. I would think given their physical layout this is going to impact their track?
  19. Seems odd to me. This was during the time I was in HS. We played our last game on Wednesday and the playoffs began the next week. Several teams around here were making the playoffs, not saying it didn’t happen, but I sure don’t remember it.
  20. I disagree, 10 game schedule was standard. Playoffs began after the regular season. As I recall, the season ended on Wednesday due to teachers having Teachers Institute (personal development).
  21. Admittedly I have read zero of this thread. The IHSAA hangs their hat on an all in blind draw format. Carry on.
  22. I don’t care where you’re at in the abortion debate, read Abrams’ words very carefully, she’s talking about stopping a beating heart.
