Michigan has been forced into silence due to an ongoing investigation and they let their play do the talking...if you get offended by waiving you need to be sponsored by Charmin...just like Ryan Day.
Now do adult coaches who tag kids on social media and argue with them...
If you see nothing wrong how a college coach of a major national program acted, it speaks volumes. Stop trying to justify ridiculous, inmature behavior out of a coach because its your favorite team....
Point to me other college or pro coaches acting this way after a win. Shake hands, walk off the field and celebrate with your team. Be a man, not a child.

Don’t sleep on Franklin central they’ve been getting better every year and my golfing bud keeps saying how they would destroy any team in the region
I am not sure they would destroy any team in the region, but FC is absolutely improving. Jayson West is a heck of a coach.

I do know next year is a lock with Carroll and CG. I’ve heard that it will only for one year though.
I may be wrong...I was told multiple years, but my source could have been mistaken.

I say good for Minter. Dude has been dragged through the mud (with OSU leading the charge by the way) and all of his accomplishments have been marginalized because a $55k “advanced scout” was “whispering in his ear” during games.
You win…you talk. You don’t? You can’t.
Pretty simple.
Nah....a confident adult man doesn't need to talk when he wins. The scoreboard does that for him. He understands he needs to teach his kids much more than X's and O's. Its understood that his actions mean more than his words and the need to be humble. Can't imagine Tony Dungy or one from his coaching tree acting in that fashion.
Based on your philosophies, I am thankful you never coached my children.
As an ultimate "homer", you will justify anything if its your team. Making him the "victim" just like Jimmy. You are consistent...will give you that.

Nothing like a coach being a mature “leader of men”. Didn’t think it was possible to dislike a program more than OHIO….

I hope Carroll bounces back from their let down against Warsaw....nothing against Warsaw.
I believe Carroll and Center Grove start a multiple year series next year. Looking forward to those 2 teams playing in the regular season.

State wide:
12.5% of all sectionals won by privates, 16.7% of all regionals won by privates, 33.3% of all semi-states won by privates,, 50% of all state championships won by privates.
Private Schools make up 7% of all football schools.
These numbers would probably be a little higher if the officials in the North Posey/Mater Dei sectional semi-final could count to 12 on the final play.
Those are sure impressive privates....

First, I never bashed Center Grove’s schedule. They play one of the toughest schedules in the state, along with Ben Davis, Cathedral, etc… My point of contention has been East Central and the ludicrous claim by a few people that they are one of the top 2 teams in the state while playing a soft schedule. Let’s be honest, if EC played Ben Davis, Center Grove, Brownsburg, or Cathedral’s schedule, they would be fortunate to be 10-3, likely 9-4
I didn't take your comments negatively...just seeking to understand and having some good discussion.
I agree with you...a tough schedule takes it toll. That's why I am not much into transitive property stuff. Thus my comment about playing a similar opponent at the beginning of the season vs. a season elimination game are not one in the same.
Good, fun discussion! Congrats on the state championship...one heck of a run!!!

Snider has a shut down D, so I thinking a Snider & CG matchup could go either way. I would take BD and Brownsburg over Snider. That is my rationale, since they don't play each other we will never know. The only common opponent we can look at is Warren Central, and we all know how those games turned out.
Snider played WC opening game of the season..CG played WC as a well known opponent very late in the season. That’s not much to make comparisons.
How does one know if they have a shutdown D, if they don’t play the toughest opponents? CG played a way tougher schedule than Snider.
But hey, fun to be hypothetical. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I would put Snider above Chatard & CG. I think Luers is overlooked, should be on list if Indy Lutheran is
Why would you place Snider over CG? CG and BD played to OT in the semistate...BD kicked a FG near end of regulation to force OT. Are you saying Snider can play even with BD if you believe they should be ranked over CG? CG's schedule was stacked full of very quality teams, many of them out of state. Snider could have matched their record all season long?
Just wanting to understand your rationale.

Not necessarily, there’s just other very good teams at the top who don’t play in the SEC. I think Oregon is going to kill Washington in their rematch and be one of the 4 teams.
I think there are only two guarantees right now:
-Michigan is in regardless of a loss
-Winner of Washington/Oregon is in
Georgia is obviously in with a win and Florida State is also in if they go undefeated. I think this is the most likely scenario.
If FSU loses and both Texas and Alabama win, Texas gets in by virtue of beating Alabama earlier this year.
If FSU and Texas both lose and Alabama wins, Alabama is the 4th team bumping Georgia.
If FSU, Texas, and Alabama all lose Ohio State gets in.
I struggle with the scenario that Oregon gets a free pass for losing to Washington in the regular season. Now if they beat them 2nd time around, sounds like it’s automatic that they are in.
The key is to lose early I guess…

Will land on his feet as a DC somewhere if I had to guess.
Who’s Indiana’s first call?
I’d like to see them get Wazzu’s head coach Jake Dickert. Bring the Wisconsin boy back to the Midwest. Perhaps Iowa State’s Matt Campbell

Darius/Shaquille Leonard has been cut by the Colts.
anyone shocked this was done during the season? I assumed his salary was too high given his current performance....but thought he would at least finish this season. No takers I guess for a trade given his injury and performance with his current contract.

I would argue that many programs could claim they were this or that away from winning a game. I could write a book on that topic regarding my favorite team. I put Center Grove up there with Ben Davis and Penn. I'm not sure what makes the Trojans better than the Giants and Kingsmen. Over all, in all classes, I think we have to look at the four in a row by Luers and LCC.
CG was close...they did go to 4 state championship games in a row (2019-2022)....they lost a tight one to Carmel 20-17 in the first one of their run. (winning the next 3)

That is a reasonable line of thinking. When you have Georgia on the other sideline my money is going on them....it just so happens they ran into Bama.
Except in this case, he ranked Ole Miss ahead of Georgia.....

My bad…you hate what numbers reveal and think that contests with a 3-4 possession margin of victory where battles that were “tough games.”
You really have no clue what I do for a living....
I hope you didn't teach math or science....If so, God help those kids....

I know @Bash Riprock hates numbers but since the turn of the century, there have been 11 Indy vs non-Indy area state finals matchups in the state’s largest class and the average margin of victory is 32.8 points per game.
In fact, you have to go all the way back to 1996 to find a state finals contest in the state’s largest class that has finished with a one possession final score in such a contest.
Crown Point is likely just the next victim.
I hate numbers....not even close. Obvious you have no clue as to my profession.
People that use numbers without meaning behind the numbers are foolish.
I do agree that BD is heavily favored, but less about history and far more about their talent and coaching of their 2023 squad.

Ah, the classic "the final score was not indicative of how close this game actually was" defense...so predicable.
Once again, not discrediting anything, simply providing context to my stance on a statement with supporting data. So many on this forum (and in life in general) act and say things based on emotions rather than facts. We get it...you LOVE Center Grove and will defend them in ANY instance where someone insinuates they don't walk on water.
Also, pretty rich from a guy who follows me around this message board at all hours of the day cherry picking things to get offended by claiming I need to "get a life." Come on.
Can't get picked last when you are the one doing the picking...😜
you certainly don't like to be challenged do you. You hate it that there on a few on this forum that gets fed up with your constant "know it all attitude"
You weren't in the stands all those years. So you don't know. You have no idea how hard that coaching staff and those kids worked to SUSTAIN an incredible level of performance. You were NOT there in the stands during the 5A years to see the type of teams like Columbus East, Columbus North, Bloomington South, Franklin Central, etc. brought in with outstanding coaches. Most people that have competed on an athletic field think twice before diminishing a team's long period of success and even worse, diminish and insult the programs said team competed against. Most that compete learn to respect their opponents. But you are an "expert" because you can look at scores and drawn steadfast conclusions. You've invested nothing, sit a million miles away, and diminish accomplishments that other posters on this forum acknowledge, because at the end of the day, you simply can't stop your fingers from pecking away. As JMV would say, "pure jacka$$ery".
And yes, any adult that diminishes what kids accomplish and programs they compete against absolutely does need to "get a life".

I did curb it by saying pretty accurate....However you look at his picks throughout the season, his record was good.
Just funnin'. I did think it was interesting that he picked his #3 team over his #1 team. Typically, if a person picks a team at #1, they stick with them come game predictions.

Article about Harbaugh's 2024 future also in the Detroit Free Press....if this is a strong possibility, I assume he would absolutely bolt to the NFL if given the opportunity.

Wondering about Chris Creighton at Eastern Michigan? Before he took the program over, EMU was a doormat in the MAC. Being a former Wabash coach, he may have some ties to the Hoosier State.
Another possibility?? Curt Cignetti has built a super strong program at James Madison, moving them from FCS to FBS.
