temptation

Some people don’t garner the respect they deserve until it’s too late or long after they’re gone…

Between this and the arrests the Georgia program is in disarray…wonder what happens if the winning stops.

Yeah, for as much as I hate OSU, that was bush league. Still funny to watch Day outthink himself. You’ve got the ball 1st and 10 on the 28 are down 1 point with the best RB room in the country and you throw it, lol. Then, after the offensive PI you let precious seconds run off the clock because you didn’t know it was running and then end the game with an unused timeout in your back pocket. Classic. Born on third.

Brought this up in a post on a separate topic…curious for folks’ thoughts. How would you handicap the top five conferences in the state of Indiana as it currently stands?

Thanks. I just can’t, with a clear conscious, rank teams like Ben Davis, Pike, Zionsville and Lawrence Central at this point.

Yes. I refer to this as a “culture bump.”

Look, between this and the other thread, I don’t even know what we are even arguing anymore. Is it that Crown Point is being “slept on” despite the fact that they are undefeated? I have em at #4 in my rankings, which is admittedly lower than I have seen them elsewhere but is that really the outrage here? I have watched segments of a couple of their games just as I have multiple other teams and I guess I could make a case to put em at #3 over a 1 loss Westfield team but in my next breath could probably also justify putting a 1 loss Cathedral in front of them based on my respect for Brownsburg. As mentioned, due to no fault of their own, they are the unknown on this list of contenders (not due to a lack of trying, which is being claimed) simply because as we have more data, they are the only team in that group that has yet to play another team that is considered “elite” for lack of a better term. I would probably place the Duneland as Indiana’s fourth best conference right now if you placed a gun to my head, but would not argue them being anywhere from 3rd to 6th. If we wanna play the “Indy schedule” game, let’s give them BD’s schedule as we did others in the opposite thread…I’d be willing to go 6-2 and with a bit of convincing “maybe” 7-1. It’s too late now, but let’s hope they can replace teams from ARIZONA with a central Indy stalwart in the future. Merrillville did for years but is still awaiting the return on that investment as they’ve yet to take that next step.

Maybe a dumb question but does the offense score so quickly that the defense never gets a chance to rest?

Show the list, pull these supposed receipts about “claiming things and then changing it (within weeks/days)” too while you’re at it. It’s almost as if things can change as more data (games) is/are added to the equation huh? Mind blowing! Good call…but Valpo has.

I’d love to see a list of games you’ve attended in 2024.

Ignored these stats for a while because I follow the larger classes more closely but anyone ever seen anything like this? Averaging 48 per game yet giving up 43? 83 points in one game, total of 148? Three games with an over of 120 points? Has to be approaching some sort of unofficial state record, no? Nuts!

Here’s a thought…. Is it also possible that Valpo, Penn and Merrillville (CP’s three biggest wins) AREN’T as good as they were last year? I mean, this can go both directions…

My bad. Got you mixed up with another poster.

You directly said THEY WILL WIN STATE, lol.

Gutted for my guy Aidan Hutchinson man… Brutal.

They gotta win by 35 to prove my point? Damn.

Stop speaking so vaguely. Pull the receipts.

Trust me…a bunch of internet message buses guys “ignoring” CP (your words) won’t make a bit of difference next month, lol. You are viewing things in a vacuum as if other teams are incapable of improvement. Hell, LN went from mid pack of the MIC to state title contender overnight.

Give us a reason to care about em…a 28 point moral victory doesn’t cut it.

Yes.

C’mon.

You can’t just ignore history when talking about 2024…you know that. Folks need to see to believe. Can you really blame em?

I’m getting closer each week.

USC had no answer for the dude.

Facts.
