temptation

Hartman looked good.

Yeah, you’re likely correct but we all know Carmel gets the “Indy bump” (and the Temp is just as guilty as anyone)… I did move them down significantly yesterday, not so as much that they lost to a loaded CBC team but more so with which the ease Noblesville took care of the same opponent that Carmel struggled with the previous week. Separate topic…if Franklin Central and Noblesville are indeed for real, the 2023 HCC could rival some of the best years that the MIC had in “recent” years.

Of course, but there are things that folks are accustomed to when they watch Warren Central football, which is the highest of praise… But they have not been the same program for 3 + years regardless of the opponent. I never thought I’d see the day when a win over Warren Central DROPS a team (Carroll) in my rankings, lol. They are 15-18 in their last 33…

Is the talent there? They have a handful of next level prospects, usually have successful freshman/JV teams, yet just lost 55-0 at the JV level… Is the well dry?

Not that I’m aware. Actually I believe WC just got a RB transfer FROM LC.

Not “as bad.”

THE sloppiest game between two “top 20” (your words) teams I’ve ever seen. Easily had to be 200+ yards in penalties. As for Carroll specifically, more so to do with how impressive LC was and the Snider transitive property against Warren…which I know is a fool’s errand but is the best I can do after two weeks. Yep. Anyone saying otherwise is either blind, or not watching the games.

They weren’t competitive in the second half against Snider yet they’ll be competitive with BD, LN and LC?…color me skeptical. BD will have little mercy, LC is looking like a fringe state title contender and they haven’t beaten LN since 2019… I know you are loyal to Kirschner and all but let’s call a spade a spade…the game has passed him by. You’ve been claiming he’s going to “fix it” for 2 years now. They have no offensive identity, are using their 4 star DL to punt (and tried two fakes from inside of their own 30 yard line last night), and have no competent kicker as every 4th down inside of the 20 is an automatic “go for it.”

I’ve got em HM (#33). If Westfield jumps Cathedral then so does LC based on what I saw last night. I don’t think it’s clear and very muddied after the top 2-3.

I say it every year about Brownsburg…I need to see it in October/November. The Bulldogs have multiple August state titles.

Noblesville fans been waiting for a long time…

No, but I saw a sign in their locker room last night before the game… It said: “BD and it’s not even close.” @Slobberknocker

7-1 (13-3)

7-1 (15-1)

7:30, confirmed via Brownsburg athletics Twitter.

Thought I saw 7:30?

Great movie…have a soft spot for this one. But…Rudy WAS offsides.

Philistine

Nah, just not buying the "Notre Dame is holier than everyone else" nonsense. You are claiming a lot of moral victories off the field (non-conference affiliation, games that mean more than the final score on the scoreboard, etc) as of late...not so optimistic about the Irish ON the field this fall?

Nah, I didn't. No worries though. Here's to a good contest Friday evening and both teams escaping healthy.

1. Cathedral @ Brownsburg 2. Homestead @ Noblesville 3. Roncalli @ Franklin Central 4. Harrison @ Plainfield 5. LaPorte @ Lowell 6. Evansville Mater Dei @ Castle 7. Culver Academy @ Mishawaka Marian 8. Franklin County @ Connersville 9. Brownstown Central @ Charlestown 10. Owen Valley @ South Putnam 11. North Decatur @ Eastern Hancock

Now this is true, but that's not what you originally said. True heat acclimation takes longer than 96-120 hours.

Just cover the 20.5 Irish.

Geography has become irrelevant in college athletics, might as well filter it down to the high school level.
