How many turnovers for the Warriors tonight?

2007, please don’t remind me. Eventually hired Rich Rodriguez and the ONLY thing he was good at was beating Notre Dame.

Precisely. He tried to fake it and failed. Only works if you win. Time will tell but not off to a good start.

But without knowing @Fball23's coaching resume how can we say with absolute CERTAINTY that the best coaches in Carmel are not in the stands on Friday nights?

Real recognizes real though. He's not one of "them." His southern drawl only lasted about 15 minutes. He screwed himself at halftime of that basketball game and deserves all of the hatred he is receiving. As the Scott Frost situation showed you cannot be a bad human being AND a bad football coach and expect to last long. One or the other? Sure. See Urban Meyer. Dude is like a squirrel. Always lands on his feet.

You told on yourself. Well done.

So what number is your kid and where does he fall on the depth chart?

Did some redecorating for my neighbor…

They lost to CG on the road in the last minute and lost a close one to a national top 100 team in Trinity (KY)...how much lower can one honestly have them? Also, can you be specific about how they are being "outcoached?" This is the second time you have claimed that unless I am mistaken.

Because it gives Merrillville a share of the conference title....that's why.

Could also make the argument this game is an absolute MUST win for the Irish so they are treating it like a “rivalry game.” A loss this weekend and the ship hits the bottom of the ocean.

Cade McNamara…don’t miss twice.

Has little to do with Michigan though I am hoping that Michigan's 10/11 win season that is forthcoming will allow them to poach a few ND recruits, lol. And if you think they are winning 9 games with Drew Pyne under center, you are kidding yourself.

Yep. Never been more excited to potentially be wrong in my lifetime. They are now decisive underdogs in at least 3 (BYU, Clemson, USC) of their remaining games.

The late 1980's were a glorious time in the Hoosier state for the reversible jacket crew. Not so much since. Yep. The Irish are "stuck" with Freeman. If whomever replaces Rees doesn't work out in a couple of years, he will really start feeling some pressure though. (I will never be more happy in my life to lose money...(I was on record all summer stating the over on ND wins at 8.5 was a lock)).

Dead man walking.

So many more posters in the Trump thread below...

In the era of NIL and college sports mirroring the professional game more so each day, in your opinion are college athletes (particularly revenue sport athletes) above being booed for underperformance? This is currently a hot discussion topic in the hometown of my favorite college program. Quarterback A returned after leading his team to a conference title, win over its main rival and playoff performance the year prior. Was told that the position was still up for grabs as Quarterback B has as higher ceiling (also comes with a higher risk in my opinion) and had a great offseason. Quarterback A would be known in the modern era as a "game manager." Quarterback B was a 5 star out of high school, possesses a skill set running the football that Quarterback A does not and can make a few more throws than Quarterback A. Quarterback B would be known in the modern era as a "dual threat." Quarterback A starts game 1, is not very impressive. Quarterback B comes in and looks the part...fans boo. Quarterback B starts game 2, lights the scoreboard up and checks every box. Quarterback A comes in after the game is in hand and is once again not very impressive...fans boo. I've seen arguments on both sides here. Argument A: What I outlined above. In the era of NIL and college football mirroring the pros, no one is above being booed for a poor performance. Argument B: These are still kids. They chose to play for your university. They deserve better. Thoughts?

BD hosted Brownsburg but your other point is true. That one is forgivable as I am sure many voters simply look at the box score. LC has respectable losses to Westfield and HSE and comfortably beat Warren. That one is inexcusable.

I'm not sure "afraid" is the term I would use. Embarrassed, more likely.

And though Warren turned it over multiple times, it was still a comfortable win by LC. I think the pollsters are obviously placing a lot of emphasis on what is an overrated King (MI) squad whom Warren beat soundly. King plays Cass Tech this weekend so we will get a bit of an idea as Cass Tech lost to Carmel.

I can't be the only one who has noticed this thread is mainly down to 4 folks sharing back and forth. Remember in 2020 when EVERYONE seemed to have an opinion (and make it known) regarding politics? What happened to all of them? I guess you can only reply with "at least he's not Trump" so many times. #Unity #BuildBackBetter

Ah, now I get it. Thought you were referring to the list I posted. My bad. So SAMFORD > Oregon? Georgia only beat them by 33. This is a fruitless exercise...

Couldn't agree more. Why even play the games?

Those are Sagarin RATINGS. To put it in perspective, the two teams you mentioned (Oregon and Arizona) would be approximately 10 points apart on a neutral field.
