Bump.

Bump.

Queued up Nick Saban’s final game on the DVR last night with Queen playing in the background… We good.

A welcome bye week before the tournament starts plus a warm up against NC is likely exactly what the doctor ordered for the Irish.

Probably.

Warren’s offense will usually spot ya 7-10 but still a good point. Speaking of…the Warriors’ “wildcat” formation when they get inside the 10 has been lights out the last two weeks. Nearly unstoppable.

They gave that one away last night.

Based on what I saw last night (and I know LN was also in a battle with Pike at the same time) I am more confident in LN beating Cathedral in the sectional. Wasn’t a big fan of some of the coaching decisions from the Irish last night either. They seemed to live on Warren’s side of the field (between the 35 and 50) and came up empty far too many times.

The postseason is here! Use this thread to put your state finals predictions in writing. I’ll start. 6A: Westfield over Lawrence North 5A: Plainfield over Merrillville 4A: Mishawaka over New Palestine 3A: Evansville Memorial over Garrett 2A: Lutheran over Adams Central 1A: North Judson over South Putnam

Not really. Typos galore. Shifted some things around but failed to do so in my file when I copy and pasted.

Sorry.

Since this is the last regular season poll of the year, I’ll give a peak behind the curtain in case anyone is interested. Even though I only post 25 weekly, I keep a list of 50 teams in my notes. 67 teams appeared in the top 50 at one point this season. Here is my final 1-50 entering the tournament.

BD has an opportunity to do something absolutely hilarious (again) here in a couple of weeks and it looks a lot more plausible than it did a month ago…
