temptation

Yep, its promoted and while I think that healthy rivalries are good for the game its a tough sell for me sometimes as an educator. Winning with class seems to be a thing of the past for many players.

Morals of the story: Don't smoke cigars after winning a regular season game (Seahawks). Don't call out the GOAT unless you are going to show up and back it up (Chase Young/WFT). Don't stomp on our logo before a regular season contest (Titans). Don't dance on the logos of other teams and pretend that the Browns are "just another team" (Juju/Steelers).

Ok. I’ll bite. Harbaugh is 3-3 (still unacceptable as a Michigan fan) against MSU and one of those losses was the dropped punt game which is a once in a lifetime football play. No excuses but far from your original claim of “outplayed by MSU on an annual basis.” Write out a rough draft before you type next time. I’m tight with some elementary teachers if you need help.

That’s not what you said.

You had me until here.

Likewise. The story from his practice squad days in NE was awesome. He was trying to impress Belichick so he showed up at 5:15am and Brady was already there watching film when he arrived. They watched together for an hour before any other players arrived.

Chase Young, 3 tackles. If you swing at the king, don’t miss.

They’d be in with Wildkats and Bronchos.

I’m on board. Five power 5 conference champions One group of 5 team 2 at large

Funny, my wife gave me the same nickname.

Go Big Blue = UK Go Blue = UM But your point still remains.

As an ND fan, you should. He will be long gone before you play Michigan again. One fan base a has earned the right to be excited about this and it ain’t ND. I’ll release the inside scoop on this once all is finalized.

Do tell.

I do want to ignore that fact because it is irrelevant. OSU doesn't get "up" to play a team they have beaten soundly for 3+ decades. Indiana coming into the Shoe and playing in a national semi-final is a true apples to oranges comparison. We are done here dude. Don't make me bring up Noblesville/Homestead.

Just don't see it.

Fool’s gold.

If they are “motivated” right?

Damn, its only January 6th but I'll take it!

1. Trevor Lawrence doesn’t even know who Michael Pennix is. 2. I already did. The #7 team in the SEC outscored the supposed #11 team in America...26-20.

How about the “Windlan Conference?” (Basketball only...) Hamilton Heights Carmel Warren Central Frankton Greencastle Connersville Sheridan Kokomo Delta Anderson Highland

The "All Nickname Conference": Frankfort Logansport Switzerland County Northeast Dubois Delphi River Forest Speedway International Hobart South Central (Union Mills)

The Separated at Birth Conference: Southwestern (Shelby) Southwestern (Hanover) Eastern-Greene Eastern (Greentown) Covenant Christian Covenant Christian DeMotte Carroll (Flora) Carroll (Fort Wayne) Evansville Harrison Harrison (West Lafayette) Jeffersonville Lafayette Jefferson Mount Vernon (Fortville) Mount Vernon (Posey)

There was more to the story than that and you know it. Deleted text messages, etc... THAT is the reason he lost his gig at OSU, had nothing to do with his mentioned reasons. I cannot disagree with you when it comes to his coaching/motivating ability and as the hottest commodity. Just understand what you are getting. He will be an NFL bust if he goes that route. Mark the tape.

Fishers fits the profile of two MIC schools (Carmel and Center Grove) very well. I am more on board with your original idea of CG and Carmel bolting for the HCC than I am of this move. Carmel has 237 MIC championships in the 20 year history of the MIC...nearly 60 percent. They will eventually run out of space in the trophy room and you will see them using their conference championship trophies as doorstops within the building (if they aren't already). Franklin Central's accelerating enrollment, buy in in the major ball sports, and socioeconomics make them a better fit in the coming years. They should bring Avon (similar in the three aforementioned categories) with them. Though we all love football, and it is the reason we are on this board, there is more to consider than football. Lawrence Central and Pike are almost non-competitive within the MIC in every sport. They have no business joining the HCC and, as you have mentioned with LC, should be looking for a step down in competition.

Too early to be drinking DT. I'm with you on a lot of things. Not this one. The Smith incident was 2.5 years ago.
