This is dumb.  My opinion.

What about teams that can’t schedule competitive games? Anyone that has played knows playing uncompetitive games doesn’t help anyone.

Its ok to have a couple cake walk games but should players be subjected to 5 plus blow out games ?

Out of curiosity can ND get anyone out of transfer portal or do they still have to meet some academic criteria?

I believe Fields is a legitimate starting QB in the NFL and the Bears would be fools to trade him. Build around him, get him an offensive line, give him some weapons at WR and RB and you got yourself a playoff team. 

QB Williams is a head case. Major ego for sure. Allegedly wants part ownership of the team drafting him.
 

 

The problem with fields is financial there is no precedent of someone who has played poorly as him getting extended, baker mayfield won a playoff game and still got traded. Daniel jones was a one year wonder and got 40 mil a year. In fields defense the bears number 2 receiver wouldn’t start on any other team and o line has had some rough patches.

Trade 1 for 3 draft MH jr, draft de at 9 then penix or Bo nix if available if later

give fields 1 more year but have a capable backup in case injury or poor performance 

that’s my ideal path for bears but with poles you never know but he has made many good moves and 1 poor one chase claypool

NIL and transfer portal has exploded and was done wrong IMO to begin with. This could potentially kill football program at lower levels or tiers. You can already see this in the bowl games. 

Yeah these games are a joke 

Syracuse has a tight end playing qb

texas am 3rd string qb injured 1st play

I’m sure there are more instances of lack of depth

Can't stockpile talents?  I think its just the opposite. Schools like Texas, Bama, Ohio State, Michigan, etc. have the opportunity to further distance themselves as they can pour more money into their NIL pools than the majority of schools in their conferences and especially from the mid-majors.  

Arch Manning made $3.2 million last year as a backup QB for Texas.  That's more $$ than some starting QB's in the NFL.  Majority of schools cannot use that type of money to incentivize recruits to come their way.

To me for the past 10 years it was all Georgia and bama and now we have those teams you mentioned now competing

Definitely some truth to there......the new world of college football....I hate it.

As someone who has no allegiance to any fbs team I like it as the powerhouse teams can’t stockpile talents and it’s has made cfb more competitive. 

Don’t worry they can get them back in the transfer portal

M. Graham WR 6'1" 180 lbs - 39 Rec. 566 yds. 6 TD. He was listed as only playing 7 games and did not lead his team in catches, yards, or TD's. There are a few of the other WR's I feel people could be upset about not getting the WR position award and Graham is not one of them. Now if you were to say Tuggle, Coy, or Hall you might have a case.

Or if you only have 6 TD's on the year.

Sorry was unaware he missed games this year now it makes sense

Same guy whose team got shut out in the first round of a 4A sectional?

Didn’t know team success had any correlation to this award as they named individuals. Looking more into this guy is 5 star on 247 which is unheard for Indiana.

So the kid who won it who was multiple state champ, 3rd all-time scorer, top 5 all-time rusher, 3-yr starter at top 15 power 5 school at a defensive position he never played in high school and will play in the league as well makes it a joke. 

Yikes. 

Ok let’s see how high he gets drafted I’m just saying karalfitis and bell are better I never he said he was a bad player 

On most levels of football mostly nfl I notice that punting teams will take a delay of game to make it easier for their punter. Why don’t more coaches decline the penalty, is there some kind of etiquette? 
this seems to be the one time a penalty of more beneficial to the offending team.

So I guess my official referee question what percent of the time do you see the defending team decline this penalty?

I lost all respect for the people that pick the award the year Russ Yeast did not get it he was the best player in the state by far. But the winner was some one that never even won anything.

I’m the same when bell or karaliftis didn’t win, it’s a joke

I think Starke County could go to 1 school and still be under 1000 students.

Out of curiosity is there schools corps that cross county lines? 
who would starke combine to get to 2k?

Don’t sleep on Franklin central they’ve been getting better every year and my golfing bud keeps saying how they would destroy any team in the region 

The three states I’ve resided in have the same issue

see illinois below 

Nevada was sick of bishop Gorman killing everyone so they made 3 division 5s

well that added another catholic champ 

https://nevadasportsnet.com/newsletter-daily/results-from-the-5a-iii-5a-ii-4a-and-1a-nevada-high-school-football-state-title-games

side note that my Carmel almost beat Gibson southern and got destroyed by this Byron school, imagine how good they are

As a whiting fan won’t be an issue but when they were good that woodlan semi state game was the coldest I’ve ever been and I was layered 

plus I live in Nevada so streaming plus 4/20 is the best way to watch sports 

So funny you guys argue about this and no mentions that private schools can restrict enrollment keeping the bad seeds out that is their biggest advantage end of story.

I officiated a lot of big games in The Inferno. Great atmosphere. But by November, that field was hard as a rock. Very tough on the feet.

Yep early 2000s are college practice field was natural grass and due to overuse it became cement essentially, luckily you don’t tackle in cfb practice but I had such bad knee tendinitis form planting and cutting 

South lake county not up with the times good for them just 20 years late 

How do two teams from same conference in lower classes play in semi state? 

I hope hs associations become more like ncaa and allow open transfers and recruiting
