temptation

Not sure there’s a better/more intimidating nickname for a school in America than the “Tarblooders.”

Looks like Glenville (5-6 D1 guys at last check) gets a shot at IMG the week after BD.

Yes, but not because of the surface.

“Can’t fix the problems created by the last administration in just one term.” You know its coming.

Still maintain they could have scored 100.

You mean the whispers that Joey has skeletons in his closet are getting louder? Must mean another indictment for Trump is forthcoming. Its so obvious at this point.

I dunno. A blade of grass had a better chance of stopping Tardy than the "Wild Bunch" that night.

This must also fall under the "integrity" piece that @Bobref was referring to earlier this week. "Shake down the thunder"...Irish may win an "equity" national title before they win another one in football...

C'mon...

They were there to "MAKE HISTORY"...oh the humanity! LOL @ these sour grapes. And you read it on a MESSAGE BOARD...wow. You should probably take a lap.

“The coach was the same guy from Warren, and wanted to make it a point that Carmel should have been in the North and it should have been an all Indy final.“ Obviously you have supporting evidence to this claim…or at least a quote right?

Most often (and possibly even in this case you are right) but college coaches everywhere discuss how difficult it is to prepare for service academy offenses which you rarely/never see. Maybe I am reaching a bit here hoping CG has a good showing...

Maybe CG's scheme can be the great equalizer here? I assume its tough to prepare for if you don't see it annually (though I won't pretend to know if anyone on Ed's schedule runs a similar system.)

Good points but they could also be selling an abundance of tread left on the tires at the RB position to keep kids "fresh for the next level." I also wonder if kids jump from team to team as the season progresses. All speculation on my part.

This was discussed ad nauseum in the past. He's being punished for the "white running back stereotype". Or should I say "WAS punished" as he has now proven he belongs.

If they can somehow get 2/3 of OSU, Clemson, USC watch out. I see 1-2 as the most likely outcome there (though 0-3 is more likely than 3-0 in my opinion) so it comes down to not slipping up one more time. Draft Kings currently has the number right at 9 for what its worth. The problem I would have as an ND fan in the current playoff format and their lack of conference affiliation is that anything less than 11 will feel empty because they have no conference championship game, will likely miss out on the four team playoff with more than 1 loss and will play in what is now a meaningless bowl game where most talented players will opt out. Its playoff or bust in the current format.

LOL, they are the smart kid who does everyone else in the class' homework but can't dribble a basketball.

Love it. Thanks for the transparency. Not an easy task I am sure.

Yikes.

Are we still 100% sure this is IMG’s “A squad” being sent?

SEC = Surely Everyone Cheats (except Vanderbilt)

Nah, they wanted them to throw the ball those nights...trust me. Penn had a better shot at a possible incompletion than they did stopping Desmond Tardy or Reese Taylor on the ground those nights.

Wow. Folks on here with dire predictions. I was gonna say 35, lol.

Agree on all points. I’ll ask a similar question as I did in the Warren/Snider thread… Ben Davis keeps this game within XX points and can walk away with their head held high? Also, excuse my lack of knowledge but since this contest is on Indiana soil it’ll be played with the IHSAA mercy rule specifics in place?

No, which is another reason why I'm not outraged about Harbaugh's "violations." Maybe it even shows Michigan is willing to finally "play ball." The SEC/Dabo are whining about NIL and all of the money surrounding college football because everyone can now legally do what they've been doing for decades under the table.
