  1. My comment wasn't a slam against any type of offense. Let's be real here, if you still call WRs Ends on your all conference forms...you have an evolution problem. When is the last time you saw SE on a roster? What about when someone has a really nice true TE they want to nominate? Should he should have to compete with all the WRs for a slot...while at the same time FBs don't have to compete with RBs? It's just dumb.
  2. You remember our conversation last year! LOL Let’s go 3 and 3 then!!
  3. The SIAC does 2 RBs and 3 WRs for all conference which seem more in line with the multiple offensive formations we see in today's game. It's a shame such a fine conference doesn't evolve with the times.
  4. If I could be convinced to live in the sh!th01e called Vanderburgh County, I would send my kids to Memorial (I have worked in Vanderburgh county since 1993). 6k isn't a bad price to pay considering the advantages one gets for that sacrifice.
  5. I know just a little bit on how we were/are constructed :). Keep in mind that when you read my response above, it isn't an argument for the SF. It is an argument that P/Ps have certain undeniable advantages and that enrollment alone is a horrible way to try to classify institutions that operate so differently.
  6. OK dusting this off from the 3A thread: We all know that with 10k-15k a year in Indy (6K in Evansville) for tuition at a P&P by default the "quality" of student-athlete is generally going to be "higher", for lack of a better word, than the equivalent sized public. Take for example a GS or HH who probably has some of the lowest free and assisted lunch in the state by percentage of the student body in 3A for publics. Even with that, GS and HH simply won't have the same number of quality student-athletes walking the halls as their p&p counterparts by the percentage of enrollment (with the exception of some generational aboratinon). Anyone who denies that is simply hiding their head in the sand. I can tell you that we have kids at GS (ie part of our enrollment numbers) who are only there because they have a pulse and the law says that they have to be (and we have much less than most other publics our size) not to mention the kids in life-skills based classes. Again, "generally", folks who can make the sacrifice to send their kids to a P&P have certain qualities in common that I don't need to list here that are both "natured" and "nurtured" into their kids. Does this quality "stock" always result in a strong tradition in any sport? Certainly not, however, when the key variables are in place, the same variables that it takes to have success at a public in a given sport...ie, community, youth league, parent support, coaching etc., those variables are multiplied by a factor "x" across a deeper bench so to speak. As I have mentioned before, as a case study in the SIAC, Memorial vs Castle. This P&P typically runs head to head with its public rival in terms of conference championships boys and girls. This would indicate both schools have a similar bench depth across a wide variety of sports, boys, and girls. Castle enrollment 1965, Memorial enrollment 609. Castle isn't exactly a district of struggling families. Some pretty easy math even for a public educated kid can see the disparity here in the ratio there of total enrollment to quality student-athlete. You see this all over the state. What does it mean? Does Memorial have better coaches? Do memorial kids have a better work ethic? Is it that the early poor immigrant Catholics into Southwestern Indiana were blue-collared people that instilled an incredible physical culture and work ethic over generations significantly impacting their ability to succeed in girls soccer? There clearly are some public representatives on the GID that are advocates of "everything is fine" or perhaps that are even against the success factor. Many of those seem to fall into one of a few buckets: Those who have advanced in the state tournament over a p&p at some point in school history or public's that are geographically aligned in such a way that they get quality imports or perhaps in such a way that P&Ps aren't an issue in their path. There will always be a subset with a certain machismo or the "put your head down and go to work" mentality that simply won't admit the above paradigm is simply a fact. That is the nature of our sport and I wouldn't' change that for the world. Those folks know it's true but the "football guy" in them simply won't let admit that there are certain inherent advantages. Reasonable, intelligent men and women can't debate on if a solution is necessary, if the one we have is adequate or if additional measures are needed at all. I simply can't wrap my head around how any reasonable person on either side of these arguments can say P&Ps and public are equitably measured by enrollment alone. Just simply say....sure they have advantages...but I don't care...I like the challenge. That I can accept.
  7. Isn't the kid who caught the TD a senior who missed two seasons due to torn ACL's....read that on twitter someplace? Options will vary, but the thought process may have been to get that kid a TD. Again, that is speculation and I could see folks making an argument for or against during that part of the game.
  8. Baring injury, two way players probably won’t be a factor in this contest.
  9. Administration heads should roll on this and the Juveniles should be handled however the law specifies. This young man is going to have lasting trama so there should and will be civil implications as well. Hopefully many changes/improvements come out of this....something good. My heart hurts for this victim. He just wanted to belong to something big.
  10. I'm sure you noticed the new defense in the second game that we could have employed against TC, SR and Salem...but chose to play those teams base for obvious reasons.
  11. GS held the flexbone to 225 yards rushing. I would expect HH to probably double those rushing yards against Danville. Hope Danville had luck simulating it at practice this week.
  12. I'll take Memorial in November as long as Screagle isn't on the team.
  13. The most useless piece of information that Sagarin includes in his data set are his SOS numbers. Nothing could be less relevant in a debate regarding teams from different parts of the state.
  14. So you were on one of those teams.....so many things are becoming clear now.
  15. Easy Junior...just throwing facts out there....keep showing your colors. Apparently hit a sore spot, were you on one of those teams?
  16. 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015...but who's counting. LOL
  17. Jets and I agree. Danville, much like Stinktown, would be a 4th place team in the PAC.
  18. Worked for Peyton Manning for a long time LOL!
  19. No...but I do know the correct definition of a "Hail Mary".
