If a certain HC/AD pushes for any mandory rotation of games between divisions...IT WILL NOT fly.

Word on the street at least one PAC AD would like to see a forced rotation for the Big 8 big schools to have to play the PAC small schools on some sort of multi-year rotation to get through all the teams (conference play). Why would any of the Big schools support this? I think the folks putting together the proposal should be really careful how much they try to push the Big 8 schools for. They might just get a 1 finger salutation on the deal and that will be that.

Just playing with some numbers, make your own judgments as to trends: In the past 7 seasons, GS has played 7 more games than Jasper and 13 more games than Heritage Hills. Another way to look at it is that Coach Hart has more wins (76) than the total number of games (75) Heritage Hills has played during that same period which happens to be the same number of years (7) both Wilkerson and Hart have been the head coaches of their respective programs.

“Would beat” This new edit timer they have turned on is killing an old fart like me that makes lots of mistakes and doesn’t catch it until the third proof read LOL. It’s as bad as twitter!

Memorial had the team of an era for not only Memorial but for Evansville in general...how many other 3A teams in the state beat GS in those 3 seasons? The consistency of GS over the 7 year span is pretty amazing....playing nobody right?

Thanks to the dynamic duo right ( I’m a big fan). Let’s see what the next 6 bring. Looks like GS and Memorial are tied in the Hart era...with GS owning the most lopsided victory.

Beneficial...but not 100% necessary. The comferemce has repeated proven just that.

Why do you see Jasper as a loser here? Are you saying they have always enjoyed being a big fish in a little pond?

This particular proposal is only for football and won’t effect anything with the other sports. I assume the Big 8 will stay intact for the other sports and will have to look for a replacement for Mt. Carmel in all of the other sports schedules.

I just want to say this thread is awesome....that is all!

Prayers for the family, friends, team and community.

It could also happen (Castle/ Boonville) as part of this Big8/PAC merger.

I was thinking more along the lines of Washington or even Mt. Vernon might not be thrilled about being placed in the big school division.

Vincennes might fit into this mix as well. If the week 1 and 2 thing comes to fruition there will be a few really nice potential matchups.

Lots of thumbs up to this! My guess is that weeks 1 and 2 will be open as part of the proposal. That said, there has been all this talk on what the PAC schools think about this deal etc., how do the Big8 schools feel? I don’t mean the fans....are there any Admins or coaches in the Big 8 opposed to the proposal?

I think you might get your wish.

I think a LOT of fans would enjoy continuing to play Southridge. It has been really fun in the Hart era.

I think what Cappy is saying is that if the proposal is for the big schools to play non-conference weeks one and two and the small schools to also play non-conference weeks one and two plus some random week. It will be impossible for GS and SR to play in 2020 because they will undoubtedly play HH and Jasper weeks one and two. If Southport can’t play GS in weeks one or two a couple SIAC teams might be in order for GS.

GS hasn’t worked hard to get non-conference schedules in week 1 and 2 (who has?) but you don’t have ANY and I mean ANY clue as to what has taken place the last 8 years to strengthen the schedule. In fact, a deal was almost cut with Mater Dei not long ago that was going to require some (easy) cooperation from a couple PAC school schools....I guess we can see how that went down. There was/is plenty of folks not willing to make any changes in the PAC...another season this change is a good one.

I actually have a couple kids on Memorial I supported this post season. I have close ties to Castle and have cheered hard for a couple kids there in recent seasons. One of my closest friends was on the Central staff this season and I am friends with Andy and his Dad. I have also worked several camps with Coach Schnur and consider him a friend...he does a great job. That said some of the SIAC fans on here who constantly go after the top PAC teams because they “don’t play play anybody” . These guys certainly make clear their knowledge of the sport very effectively. Not to mention thier innate ability to breathe through their mouth. The sun certainly doesn’t rise and set in the SOS of the SIAC over the past decade...not even close. That’s really my only issue. I’m guessing my comment in the other thread about teams one likes to root against got someone’s panties in a wad.

It wasn’t intended to be snarky at all. I was just pointing out that your comment makes that assumption...and there are fans who probably would vote either way.

6 thumbs up on last paragraph!

Can we do away with the edit timer...I make a lot of mistakes and don’t catch em quick enough lol.

Problem is they play week 1 and 2...I don’t think that the PAC schedules are going to be radically changed...I could be wrong.

That assumes GS wants their second non-conference game as a game with SR. (1st being Southport). Who knows what the staff would like, but more than a few fans would like to see them go out look for something else.
