47.90 anchor by the Dutch anchor upsets the US mixed 4x4. Ended up 6th! US goes 1-2-4 in a wet competition. Exciting finish.

I always hear folks say “act like you’ve been there before.” Seems like Snider has, Homestead honesty hasn’t so maybe it’s an unrealistic expectation.

Eh, possibly. Other factors in play. I’ve long stated, I want my free/reduced rate around 30% and my enrollment around 3000 if I were playing “create a school.”

Debate set for 9/4 in PA, moderated by Fox. What’s the catch?

Damn. That’s an indictment of the coaching staff. Snider = grit, tough kids, some from disadvantaged backgrounds? Homestead = suburban kids who’ve rarely faced adversity? It all comes full circle…

Nah, I just can’t buy it. Unless you are referring to the coaching staffs, high school roster turnover does makes me a doubter in any type of “mental block.” Now, if you wanna talk overconfidence I am all ears. When it comes to Homestead, maybe they got comfortable being the best team in their backyard and it gave them a false sense of accomplishment? Just spitballing here but I also heard the same idioms and tropes being tossed out about the Big Ten against the big bad SEC for years.

And they weren’t even pushed…and it was a semi-final.

Unreal. Just the third American medal in the 10k since 1912 and the first since 1956. 4:18 mile pace for 6.2 miles… 25 straight laps averaging 64.5 seconds each.

I don’t think it’s mental. I think it was outlined by another poster on here. Penn was behind the times scheme wise/offensively and hasn’t taken the sport as seriously as the Indy schools have between 8am-3pm since the turn of the century.

Yeah, it’s relevant. One data point of many.

Never seen a more contradictory poster in my short time on this website. ”Warren is like Notre Dame…all offseason hype and undeserving of a high ranking.” ”College and high school football are completely different animals.” ”Rankings should be based on what happened last year.” ”I am ranking team A ahead of team B because they “should have” beaten them.” LOFL.

No one can.

Piece of advice: Don't specify the label "the usual suspects" in your manifesto if you don't want to receive blow back. You knew what you were asking for. The way lefties continually move the goal posts on this issue is truly a sight to behold. They claim to care about "women's rights" when its convenient or fits their narrative...not so much in other cases. I'll move on @Irishman, I know you've probably got quick trigger fingers ready to ban me for my position.

If one has external plumbing they are a male, if one has internal plumbing they are a female. Learned this in middle school biology...public school education. Pretty simple honestly.

"The Italian boxer left herself wide open for that shot to the face." The equivalent of a woman "asking for it" right?

#5 and #7, wow. I need someone from the "follow the science" crowd we have heard so much from in the past 4 years to explain basic biology to the class.

Great analysis and as I said in this thread earlier, I just can't buy Merrillville YET. I want to so badly but they are northwest Indiana's version of Brownsburg to me. Probably unfair but I just need to see it to believe it.

Zero doubt, maybe more.

Combatting perceived racism with ACTUAL racism...what a time to be alive huh?

Don't consider Warsaw "NW Indiana" though. I think the criteria should be the central time zone.

Agree completely. No doubt they will take a "step back" but how far?

20. Evansville Reitz 19. Bloomington South 18. Franklin Central 17. Penn 16. East Central

Breath #1: “Warren is like Notre Dame in that they are overrated annually despite not beating anyone.” Pause… Breath #2: “College football is a totally different beast than high school.” LOFL.

So, based on your 2nd paragraph, you’ve got Michigan #1 in your preseason college football poll, huh? Go blue! Also, based on your logic. 1. Ben Davis 2. Snider 3. East Central 4. Chatard 5. Luers 6. Lutheran Right?

Meanwhile, Trump walks into a hornet’s nest in Chicago at the NABJ conference which Harris ghosted and just can’t keep his mouth shut. Biden won this way in 2020 from his basement. Just let Trump open his mouth and sink himself after we cut up his words. Harris trying it in 2024. They aren’t even hiding it anymore.
