temptation

My point was that folks overreact way too much and Allen’s 2020 success was fraudulent. The other stuff was just extra topping.

You’ve had at least 3 rambling manifestos this week regarding the rankings.

I’m sure they’ll continue to figure it out. CG/Carmel will be better off in the long term than the MIC 6…it just may take a bit of time. More pressing to me? Who is the MIC replacing them with?

I agree but after the news broke everyone was “concerned” that CG/Carmel would have trouble finding opponents…then everyone kept playing them but it “doesn’t count” in the conference standings… Its a joke… Might as well be what soccer enthusiasts refer to as “a friendly.”

Dropping 48 on a Mooresville team that was giving up an average of 15 points per game prior to Friday concerns you huh?

Only if said schools “culturally align” with Carmel and CG though…lol. This decision looks worse for the MIC 6 with each passing minute…other than the fact that they can tout mythical conference titles in all 20 sports.

In 2020 I was told that they had a top coach… He loves his players and jumps up and down a whole lot, remember? (Hell in the past five years I’ve been told Scott Frost was gonna take over the Big Ten, Paul Chryst had what it took to take Wisconsin to the next level, PJ Fleck was gonna make Minnesota an annual contender in the Big Ten West…and Jim Harbaugh was going back to the NFL because he sucked.)

I could be overreacting but this just doesn’t strike me as a vintage Chatard unit.

I can take the heat. Trust me. One moment you are outraged and nit pick every aspect of the rankings and then in the next breath, you state that they are irrelevant, lol.

You just can’t make your mind up can you?

This is shaping up to be a historically bad year for the Big Ten. Who wants to win the west? Ohio State Michigan Penn State Maryland Purdue Minnesota Iowa Illinois Michigan State Rutgers Wisconsin Nebraska Indiana Northwestern

Link? Lol.

If you say so. Check my posting history along with why these schools’ athletic departments are restricting ticket sales. I’m rarely wrong and am always ahead of the story. By the way, thought I was blocked?

Boots on the ground. Just because it makes the newspaper in Arcadia doesn’t mean it does in Indy. Don’t be so dense.

In other news, dozens involved in a post game brawl in the parking lot following last night’s LN/WC game… Embarrassing. Soon we are likely heading for two tickets per player and everyone else has to pay for the live stream.

I’ll play. 6A: Cathedral over HSE 5A: Whiteland over Snider 4A: New Palestine over NorthWood 3A: Gibson Southern over Chatard 2A: Scecina over Andrean 1A: Lutheran over Adams Central

Nah, teams improve during the ebbs and flows of the season. Head to head is my #1 factor when creating these. Common opponents and how each team fares can give folks an idea but there are other variables that must be taken into account such as when the game is played, the venue, weather, etc. The reason I moved Roncalli in front of Carmel/BD was precisely what you mentioned when it came to the Male/Trinity dynamic. As far as why I hold CG to a higher standard is the fact that they have not lost to an Indiana team in 2+ years. I need to see it to believe it (perhaps unfair). I said the same thing about Westfield and now think I firmly have them where they belong based on 2022 results. I was a bit bullish on them due to their domination of the HCC. Wins also gain/lose significance as opponents’ seasons play out. Suddenly LC/BD’s wins over Warren don’t carry as much weight to me. I did move Brownsburg ahead of CG after last nights destruction of a Zionsville team for which I have a lot of respect. I now think those top NINE teams may be interchangeable as Roncalli/Fishers are playing their way into that conversation. Thanks for reading.

I think it’s impossible to be the AD AND head football coach at a 6A school but that’s just me.

Fair to say it doesn’t always translate to the next level?

Zero quality in state wins and double digit losses to the only quality teams on their schedule. The King win was fool’s gold. I just can’t.

Statement from Brownsburg…wow.

Basically a five game conference schedule with an extra bye (when NC is on the schedule). Then you have two teams(Pike/Warren) whose offenses hand out gifts every Friday nights and spot the other team 14 points. All done in front of dozens of fans because each administration is terrified those in the stands won’t behave so they lock up each home game like it’s a red carpet VIP only event. Like I said above, CG and Carmel are being proven right and laughing their asses off right now. A far cry from what folks thought a few short months ago…

Yikes.
