I think something that has been lost in this is 70 had reported previously in the game as eligible as a 6th lineman. When watching the film the white hat is looking at 70 and even points to him as 68 is talking to him. A reasonable scenario here is that 68 said “report” the White Hat saw 70 a few yards away sprinting in and made the assumption 68 was just relaying for 70 again. 68 didn’t say “68 reports” or “I report”. Then the white hat announces publicly 70 is eligible. This mistake is on the white hat but also the Lions. The Lions attempted to confuse, and they did. They also did not call attention to the call of 70 being announced because they were hoping that’s exactly what the Cowboys would think. The crew got it wrong. But the Lions set it up that way.

Or it could be you feel they way because there are no 5A and 6A private schools.

Nana’s wins are more impressive than FSU, and their depth of schedule is tougher. There really isn’t a leg to stand on. All 13-0’s are not equal.

This is my guess too.

The BD catch obviously would’ve been fixed, but I’d be a little cautious about thinking replay will be as effective as you see on Saturdays and Sundays. Michigan uses replay for its finals, and used it roughly a dozen times over the weekend. From my seat I thought they ended up getting half the calls wrong after replay because they had a poor assortment of angles to look at. Just my humble opinion.

The consolidation of districts doesn’t require the consolidation of schools. In many cases it wouldn’t make sense. Or districts combined with three HS might turn into two HS etc.

LCC has certainly had an up and down history, but is currently on an exceptionally long run of good-great seasons. Interesting note future University of Minnesota head coach Tim Brewster was just 11-11 at LCC.

Is watching live the only option or could I watch them on tape delay for the same price? Also $20 per day or for all 6 games?

Thanks for the help!

So no regular TV only through the App purchase?

Yes please I’m not seeing where it will be on TV.

I don’t think coaches are worrying about how a score will impact their Sagarin number. But with that said it was explained to me that beating a team by too much will actually hurt your Sagarin number because the team you beat will drop by a lot and thus weaken your SOS. So the goal is to beat the spread by not by too much if you want to worry about your rating.

For the record the IFCA’s plan was a 4-year cycle. The IHSAA shaved it down to 2….largely because they wanted to have their fingerprints on the change. To MUDA’s point in the beginning of the thread I suggested a relegation concept during the committee phase, it had virtually no support among the other coaches there. My suggestion was if you didn’t win a sectional game in a four year span you got bumped down. Coaches were worried about that concept for two reasons 1) might lead to getting fired, one thing to lose another to be tagged as a team that is forced down. 2) afraid some schools might tank when they knew a better class was coming up.

Roncalli isn’t referencing the confederacy….but Roncalli…the Rebel Pope.

Im thinking Harrison and McC are going to have to go north this time around.

Soccer might be growing in popularity, but I’m not sure American pro soccer really is. Everyone I talk to that follows soccer always talks about European teams.

Calpreps has IMG as 5 TD favorites.

O’Shea had a three year stretch early on that was the best since the mid 90’s. NC has a history of state champ coaches who struggle when arriving.

When we were in the process of creating the current format I suggested this. It didn’t get much traction from the IHSAA. They wanted the 32 5A 32 6A setup. But it’s been 10 years now. Maybe they’d be up for a change.

GID rule of thumb #1 If DT makes a "proclamation" it will last less time than it takes a hungry man to eat his lunch....because he intends to do the opposite.

Yes I agree more schools over 3000 exist, but I think that helps my argument more than yours competition is getting tighter now, the "middle" of 6A is closer to the top now than before.

Maybe, but we both know that's not going to happen, so.......

Agreed it's not just a "work harder" solution here. That may be the case for some of these schools, and may not I'm not going down that path. But it does require significant district investment to achieve that goal. That is missing in many many school districts. Take Brownsburg as an example. 10 years ago you'd never put them in the neighborhood of BD. But the district has taken many steps from that list I gave earlier to improve the competitiveness of the district. They may not have the complete investments that BD or Carmel has for their program, but it appears they are putting in great strides to match it sooner rather than later. Brownsburg has done enough to compete with BD. Even to the point of a two game winning streak against them. This can be done at Lafayette Jeff, this can be done at Noblesville, this can be done at Homestead etc. It's not easy and it's not over night but it can be done. CG is the model, New Pal is the model, it can be replicated. It's not about kids working harder alone, let's not simplify it to that. The CG kids could bust their tails but if they didn't have the other pieces in place they'd have minor success. To the dropping 8-16 teams to 5A, we've been down this road before a decade ago. Then the bottom of the top class was nearly 3 times smaller than the bigger schools, and over 4 times to the outliers. 6A was created to address the issue. A 32 team 6A allowed for the bottom to be less than the 2x of the bigger schools. That was a problem, it was addressed. This "problem" is not in the same neighborhood of having a school of 1300 play at Warren Central, it's just not.

You're correct I didn't add in this year, as I looked at the historical page. Their "dominance" is less than I mentioned. Agreed which is why the list I made included a plethora of factors needed. You know what also won't give Tech a state title...moving them to 5A, which they still wouldn't do under a scenario that drops the bottom 8 or bottom 16.

Actually it's entirely about those three schools, because if they weren't winning at a high level this thread wouldn't exist.
