This may make for a good book and a Netflix series…

Never a good sign when the organization stops thumping its chest, does a 180 and agrees with the punishment, and starts eating its own during the bigger NCAA investigation.

you are one old defensive cuss...just trying to understand your "logic".... But since you called me out.....satisfied now??

Looks like some resolution…posted on X by ESPN

oh...the transitive property stuff....one game and nevermind the competition experienced both before and after. If we play that game, I could easily find some common opponents between teams and list out different point spreads. I just don't put much in that stock. So, you just want to post your views and everyone has to fall in line....ok. Remember, I wasn't challenging your ranking as that all washes out and everyone has an opinion. I was trying to understand your logic in a previous post in which your clearly stated EC wouldn't have the results with Cathedral's schedule, but you ranked them #2 anyway. I am just wanting you to explain your logic when you rank a team second best in the state, but indicate on the same thread they can't compete with a quality 6A type schedule. Those are your words, not mine.

Looks like BD vs CG one of the top MaxPreps games of the week.....

ok...I guess....we just know it takes a full body of season long work to crown any champion. Most 6A schedules are a meat grinder. Tremendous respect for EC...I just don't think they are undefeated playing the schedules of BD, CG, Westfield, HSE, Brownsburg, Cathedral, etc. Which I believe is what you said just a few posts ago....so if I follow your logic in that they can't complete day in and day out with a schedule like Cathedral, then I am a little confused how you place them at #2. It seems like conflicting logic.

I do think the quality of your opponents should factor into any rating and whether a team could compete all season against similar opponents. I definitely think that factors into most rankings. The reason why James Madison and Liberty are nowhere close to the top 10.

I agree with your comments above. Yet you ranked them #2 amongst all teams in the state. Wouldn't such a high ranking justify the exact opposite? Seems inconsistent.

Got to love the entrepreneurial spirit!!

Awesome. Need some additional rags for the garage. Send me your size…have a few T’s for you.

an interesting perspective from Mark Madden... Mark Madden: Jim Harbaugh, Michigan another example that it's OK to cheat in sports https://triblive.com/sports/mark-madden-jim-harbaugh-michigan-another-example-that-its-ok-to-cheat-in-sports/

That is funny!!! Noticed Franklin just fired another OC. How many has he went through? At what point does the AC and President realize he's the biggest part of the trend of an inept offense? I believe PSU just gave him a huge long term contract a couple of years ago.

LOL...I am not bitter..perhaps Danny Kanell might be....I don't know. I just thought it was kind of funny....

Not discounting your quote. Sounds like BD made some nice adjustments at half. BB must not have… I didn’t read entire quote…did Hart and his staff take any ownership?? BTW, don’t get to take away explosive plays. They count just as much as long drives. Much of the time, giving up big plays are killers.

Fair point. Last 2 games, not pretty offensively. Hopefully not becoming a trend

America’s Team….. https://x.com/dannykanell/status/1724163300907245754?s=20

Agreed...still trying to figure out how they won last 2 games scoring 2 total offensive TD's. Good thing they were playing Carolina and NE. There are some bad offenses in the NFL this year...my concern is that the Colts are one of them.

...hadn't allowed a few bad plays......perhaps the other team might have had something to do with that..... Didn't Brownsburg main back have 161 yds on 25 carries and 3 TD's? I understand they may have been some big runs, but those count as well.

Got to prove it in the post season

looks like media is reporting that the Big 10 office will offer up a response this afternoon. We shall see.... https://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/university-michigan/wolverines/2023/11/10/michigan-football-big-ten-response-sign-stealing-jim-harbaugh-connor-stalions-tony-petitti/71528951007/

Little bit of a misleading stat...given strength of schedule plays very much into those numbers. What does stand out to me if BD's performances against Moeller, Carmel and Larry North. BD dropping 62 on a pretty darn good Larry North team really raised my eyebrows. No question BD has an excellent QB and excellent team. But they are very fortunate to be heading into the regional, as I still believe they got some help from Brownsburg. (another excellent team) If I had to put money on this game, I would put it on BD...I think most would. But, never count out the Irish...and it will come down to the team that makes the least mistakes.
