I can tell you straight from multiple AD's mouths, there are two issues with joining CI. Terre Haute North and Terre Haute South.

Schools that were so small they eventually could not field teams.

3 QB's getting reps, 6 RB's getting reps, 15 OL getting reps......

Have you ever actually seen a Football game?

No. But you are basically the message board police here. If anyone says something, you immediately fact check everything. You aren’t on the field. Stop throwing Yellow Flags. Opinions don’t always require facts. It’s all circumstancial.

Maybe not, but it seems like a good place to start.

I’ll give you a hand for doing this kind of work. I don’t really care. But I’ll give you props for it.

Sure when confronted by facts walk away.

Szabo won without having a unified youth system.

Never discount the advantage of having multiple feeder schools. 

We had an interesting situation in a lower level game Saturday. Apparently there is an avid RC flyer just to the west of the field we were playing on. The planes never were actually over the facility, but it was pretty cool to watch. Dude even had an RC jet. The home team coaches told me the previous week officials wouldn't allow play until they stopped flying. While it was completely visible, in my estimation they were far enough away not to cause a safety concern. 

Looked very similar to this:

Well, I don’t know why they are throwing everyone in there?

East clearly is the class of the HHC when you're talking Football. I think "they" were just using the rest of the conference for comparison sake.

Lol. I’m not one that has been “making fun” of Seymour.

Really? "I haven't worried about Seymour since Joe Goodman retired" ring a bell?

Obviously, they were very good in the Joe Goodman years.

I liked Szabo. He built them up. Weber took over a terrible roster. Built them up. It all has to do with talent. 

So on the one hand Szabo "built them up" and the very next sentence the next coach took over a terrible roster? One of those statements is wrong. Or perhaps there's just a chance that coaches have to coach the talent they have, Szabo saw a downturn in talent and left for greener pastures. Seymour had an incredible run of talent in the late 80's-early 2000's. They also had an athletic friendly administration. Seymour was one of the first schools I'm aware of that had a weight class during the school day, it started in 1980. Seymour had a youth football program that started in the 4/5 grade, that went back to the late 60's. All that changed about the time Goodman retired, hmmmm. All of these events happened about the same time........The bottom line is high school coaches can only coach the players they have. 

If you go back the past 20 years, Floyd and BNL have been FAR more successful than Seymour.

You need to figure out when to stop digging. In the past 20 years 1999-2018

Seymour vs. FC 11-9  Seymour 2 Sectional titles 1 regional title. FC 1 Sectional title.

Seymour vs. BNL 8-12 Seymour 2 Sectional titles 1 regional title. BNL 1 Sectional title. 

But the only football fan in here that can truly claim dominance, is a Columbus East fan.

One might argue had it not been for Cathedral, Seymour and East would have been able to add to the history of their programs. With the exception of 2001, after beating East and Seymour, Cathedral went on to win the state title. 

That’s a real blue blood type of program.

I don't believe anyone has argued that they weren't.

Whoever PM you that is obviously a coward for not coming over here and posting that for whoever the fan was that offended them.

I get PM's all the time, I just chose to share this one. I can assure you like me they don't have a dog in the fight. Perhaps I didn't even share the entire PM so you or someone else wouldn't be offended? Calling them a coward while hiding behind an anonymous screen name is a bit ironic isn't it? 

It obviously wasn’t me either.

This was forwarded to me via PM. I’ll just leave this here for the fan bois to discuss. 

Forget gun laws, these people are making ALL laws. Now if she held something, I would guess what she's talking about something along the lines of a Barrett .50 BMG, which depending on specs weigh in around 30 pounds. AR-15's do not shoot a .50 caliber round and they weigh 7-9 pounds depending on specs. 

Words mean things.

Again, If you have peer-reviewed studies showing that the color blind need digital down markers in order to receive this critical information in a timely manner,  please post them.  So far the only "proof" of your claim is the statement "I have been told........".

And a good friend of mine happens to be color blind,  has never once complained to me about those damn traditional down markers.

 

 

I'm a ref, so naturally I'm blind, it's essential for the zebras!

Which device do you think has had the bigger impact on high school football between the endzone camera and digital down marker? I tend to think more people benefit from endzone cameras, but you can't overstate what a game changer the digital down marker has been for the color blind.

Long live the EZ camera. Though we haven't had it included on our film the last two weeks. This week was just wide and tight.

My how the color blind have suffered over the last 100 years at football contests.    

And why hasn't every NFL venue embraced this technology?

Do you have a current picture that shows a non-LED down box? NFL officials have not worn knickers since 2011.

I know there's a food thread on this site, but where is a place to eat around Heritage Hills? Thanks for any suggestions

There's a Denny's on 231 back towards 64. You might be able to find something in Dale, if the game gets over pretty quick. I should preface this by saying, we don't eat until after the game. 

We've seen several of them, I couldn't tell you who has them and who doesn't. 

BSN has them listed from 1099-1599, my guess is they actually cost in the 600ish range. 

They are easy to see and find, I'm all in.

Who said anything about beating their wife or forcing a woman to carry an unwanted child?

Can’t say the same about Seymour, which is probably why our resident owl is so bitter.

What makes you think I'm an Owl fan?

Please explain.

This “cost” and “wait time” BS is the single biggest straw man I’ve ever heard. Our “wait times” are lower because our doctors are idle.

It's self explanatory. 

Our doctors are idle..........do you just make this stuff up on the fly? 

Also (1)cost and (2) wait time are actually >single.

Except in infant mortality; Canada has a lower infant mortality than the USA.

 

Do 600K+ abortions per year figure into this equation?

I’ve always had genuine respect for Floyd. I can’t say that about many other teams, certainly not a majority of HHC teams.

I’m sure there will sleep lost over your lack of respect, what with all your connections and all.

This pic has been making the rounds today via social media. It was not flagged.

When you receive a check from the payroll department of an insurance company, as opposed to your usual checks from claims, you may question my credentials.

No one needs question your credentials, your posts tell us all every thing we need to know.

Jennings County has a major problem of losing athletes to other schools too, and not just in football. Columbus East, Greensburg, South Decatur, Trinity Lutheran, and Brownstown Central are just some of the beneficiaries. The Decatur County schools (South Decatur and Greensburg) seem to be getting the largest amount of defectors.

There seems to be a steady stream of BB players headed up  HWY3 to Westport.....hmmmmm. Any possibility of this trend continuing with the new football hire?
