  1. Forget the fact that we are there, that ship has sailed. We can't just bail on these people. BHO was wrong to leave, and Trump is repeating the same mistake.
  2. My daughter played a couple of fall college events at Grand Park. It's not very user friendly. Fortunately we did find a golf cart to get my parents too and from the field from the parking area. The costs of this thing has been dissected enough. I still maintain there is no way this enterprise would fly if it were privately owned. I have looked at building multi-use athletic facilities, I've put pencil to paper with a GC, I could NOT make the numbers work. Granted I'm half way between Indy and Louisville, not near a major metro area. Even at that, Hamilton County is not the easiest area to navigate. The question that begs to be answered, is the facility bringing in enough money to the local economy to make up for the operating expenses. We (ICGSA) have had to change dates twice for our Softball All-Star game, due to hotel space because of events at Grand Park. We typically take about 35 rooms for players, coaches, and staff, I have no idea where parents stay. We eventually moved the venue from Carmel HS to IU.
  3. In the middle of our MSC tour right now, I'll leave it at that for now. We started Saturday at Scottsburg.
  4. Women control the money and the pu....., so nothing under the sun is new.
  5. Not sure what “best” is. Mark Herman Blair Kiel Rondel Moore Shawn Blaich Kevin Dudley Alex Smith As has been mentioned, Tardy, Levron Williams, Samardizja, Stevie Brown... Stevie Brown may have been the best athlete I ever saw, dude was a freak.
  6. Has the time come to just contract high school football? I mean between the winners losing money, and the bad schools being bad, maybe it's just time we call it a day?
  7. Chris Collinsworth and whoever his man crush du jour is.
  8. No one knows what means what to people. I would suppose only Coach Radtke could answer that. In my short and really mediocre coaching career, I kept two trophies, and one was a 2nd Place LL trophy, that's still on my desk 20 years later. Because it had meaning to me and the group of kids I had that year. Conversely I threw an entire box of 2nd place trophies in the dumpster and didn't even pass them out one year. Things like this are really personal who knows what means what to people?
  9. Sure, I made it up. P/P dominance in November just happened to coincide with this forum opening up.
  10. This may come as a shock to you Muda, but some of us have ties to Indiana HS Football other than our interactions on this board.
  11. Following a PAT, multiple dead ball fouls are called B/R, four to be exact. 1 R's 45, 2 R's 30, 3 R's 15, 4 R's 7.5. Rule book states 10 yards between K's LOS and R's restraining line. What do we have?
  12. The multiplier issue was on the IFCA's mind long before this forum existed. The challenge was getting a formula you could get the IFCA to agree on.
  13. As I recall Linton has seating in one EZ and not the other, thus they put the cameras in the EZ with no fans.
  14. Laughable. Are there some movers and shakers who read, probably, but to say we have a voice is laughable.
  15. We've seen several girls playing this season with various teams. By this point of the season the games start to run together, sorry I don't have any specifics.
  16. Our mercy rule games have ended up being about the same real time as normal games. Since the clock doesn’t run until the second half. Of the three we’ve had, one first half was 1:40, followed by a 20 minute half and 26 minute second half. Second game started late, waited on visitors to arrive. 1:20 to play first half, a 20 minute halftime that turned into nearly 30 minutes, took about 30 minutes to play the second half with two scores. Last one similar situation, only we had a clock operator that apparently couldn’t follow instructions. I’m still icing my shoulder. As a crew our games average about 2:12 in real time. We had one this year that was 3:10......two team that had QB’s who could sling it, just not blessed with players that could catch it.
  17. The vast majority of clock foul ups favor the visitors, I have no idea why.
  18. This is no lie, it actually happened to me this week. There was a flag after a tackle on the other sideline. I was on the opposite wing. I went in and got the info from the R, #XX was giving him the business after the tackle. I told the coach what I was told and he said, and I quote "what does that mean"? I said you know giving him the business and he reiterated I don't know what that means. I said coach I'm going to have to ask you to turn over your man card at this time.
  19. Too much standing around scratching.
  20. Bernie now has an option to bow out gracefully.
