Most “fans” on here have loyalty to a particular program in one way or another and the fact that I don’t, combined with my brash nature and the fact that I don’t care about folks’ feelings, rubs people the wrong way.
not really the main reasons, but you keep on truckin' "unbiased official".......

Yep. Don't have a dog (pun intended) in the fight. I am able to view things from an unbiased perspective...unlike you and @Grover.
Have an opinion if "neutral", but remain quiet if not. That makes for one fun and interesting forum.
BTW, just so we are clear. I didn't make any comments. Just trying to understand your logic.
Keep firing away @Grover We all know you have way more GID seniority than the self-appointed "rulemaker"!!

You've gotta let it go. They are ducking you. Chiming in on this thread means they are in your head. You've won three in a row...be happy.
I gotta admit....I am a little confused. You have articulated over and over your thoughts about Carmel refusing to play CG and motives behind it. You have also targeted other schools repeatedly with the same message. But that is ok? Couldn't I use the same logic you are voicing above to you?
If you feel compelled to step into the hall monitor role to challenge the posts of others, perhaps first take your own medicine......just sayin'

You dropped IU to the bottom with their impressive win over Akron in 4 OT's? Who cares if Akron had a centered approx 31 yd FG to win the game at the end of regulation and missed????

Coaching malpractice by Freeman. It’s exactly why so many people questioned his hire. Forget the last 2 plays where they only had 10 players on the field, it doesn’t even get to that point if ND doesn’t throw the ball and a subsequent incompletion on 2nd down the drive before. Remember, OSU was called for intentional grounding with 15 seconds left and was able to call a TO they shouldn’t have had to prevent a 10 second runoff. They ended up running 4 more plays instead of snapping the ball at the 20 with 5 seconds left.
Failure
Plus, isn't Freeman's background prior to ND known as a defensive coach?? Considered a pretty good one. I agree.....not sure how one with the D pedigree doesn't notice playing a man short. (or anyone else for that matter)
But, all of this is a moot point had the ND DB made the interception a couple of players earlier with the ball going through both hands.....

Nice win, 22-19, for the underdog Colts against the Ravens today. It took some epic FG's but they got the job done.
I thought they had given it away with the 4th down call in OT....but the D did a great job yesterday. Was happy for the team and especially Minshew. He took some serious hits during the game....tough dude.

I'm more convinced the Bears ownership needs to change. And hell will probably freeze over before that happens.
or the return of Bob Avellini at QB!!

I know starting QB (freshman) threw 10 TDs. Was 63-0 at half. All I got. Haha
continued throwing the football with a massive lead?

I honestly forgot about him. Wasn't he a move in for his Senior year because dad took a job with the Colts? I think it's easy for him to go unnoticed because he was only in Indiana for 1 season and played on an absolutely loaded CG squad.
Yes the team was very good....But Russ Yeast was special. I will never forget his 5 TD performance against Cathedral an Irish squad that was stacked as well with D1 players. Russ Yeast won the Gatorade Player of the Year that season for the state of Indiana. Had an excellent college career at both Louisville and Kansas State and as Grover mentioned, playing on Sunday's with the Rams. Incredible young man, earning both his bachelor's and master's degrees during his college playing days.

And nobody cares about the offensive linemen: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2023/09/19/colts-qb-anthony-richardson-suffered-concussion-and-so-did-ryan-kelly/70885664007/
I may be wrong, but given Kelly's job, guessing he will remain in the protocol longer before he clears. Head banging every play....

Yeah, 2 way playmaker who will be in the NFL. That late hit on Hunter was a blantant cheapshot. Not sure how the Colorado State player wasn't ejected. I would be shocked if Colorado can come out of Autzen with a W. Here's how I see the AP Top 25 matchups shaking out this week:
- Florida State over Clemson
- Oklahoma over Cincinnati
- Michigan curbstomps Rutgers
- Oregon easily takes down Colorado but the Buffs will put up a fight
- UConn hangs with Duke and the Blue Devils pull away in the 4th quarter
- Miami curbstomps Temple
- Ole Miss by about 10 in Tuscaloosa
- I'm going to go with UCLA pulling off the upset in Salt Lake City. I believe Utah still isn't at full strength and Chip gets a statement W
- LSU beat Arkansas by about 15 in Red Stick
- Florida crushes Charlotte
- Washington State narrowly edges Oregon State at home in the misfit bowl
- I think Penn State beats Iowa by about 17. I want to say by about 25 but I can envision Iowa burning clock running the ball on drives that end in 0 to 3 points.
- Freeman gets his marquee win in South Bend and the pressure begins to mount on Day
- Texas over Baylor
- Georgia will take out their post South Carolina frustrations on a USF team that Alabama should have manhandled
- North Carolina narrowly over Pitt
- Washington will cover the 21 point spread against Cal if Penix plays midway through the 2nd half
- Surprised to see Arizona State getting 33.5 against USC's defense. Williams and Co. will score at will. USC's D better be able to handle ASU's offense.
Very solid predictions here....well done. I think UGA is playing UAB...not USF.
Questions I have this week....
- Will Rutgers play Michigan tougher than most people think? How real is their improvement this season?
- Will Bama's O start its improvement this week? How real is Ole Miss? Bama and LSU back to back weeks.
- Sam Hartman vs OSU's D and their pass rushers will be a treat to watch. (not really a question)
- Is Michael Penix well on his way to getting an invite to NYC at the end of the season as a finalist?

And almost all of them after more than 4 plays..............
Guessing at 40, the decay of a tendon didn’t start at game time. His was also a contact injury as well

How old is Aaron Rodgers?? Shocking to think we are prone to more health-related risks as we age. Tendons may fatigue more and easier with age?.......but we like simple, so lets blame the the turf, forgetting the fact that many other athletes on a variety of surfaces tear their achilles......definitely the sole cause and we must change to grass to prevent this injury potential!!!!
https://michiganfoot.com/blog/item/459-why-are-achilles-tendon-ruptures-more-likely-with-age.html
Achilles tendon ruptures have become increasingly common in recent years, and are seen particularly often as a sports-related injury. It is most common in men in their 40s and 50s due to the wear and tear on the tendon that occurs naturally with age. As we age, blood flow to the Achilles tendon decreases and stiffness increases, thereby raising the risk of injury. Participating in strenuous running, jumping, and agility activities can lead to an Achilles tendon rupture if preventive measures such as wearing the appropriate footwear and increasing intensity and duration of physical activity slowly are not taken.
https://frederickquirantedpm.com/blog/item/167-aging-and-the-achilles-tendon.html
It is common for the Achilles tendon to become weak as the aging process occurs, or if medical conditions such as diabetes or arthritis exist .
From this study
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23386750/
Average age was 46.4 years with 310 (76%) ruptures diagnosed and managed acutely (less than 4 weeks), whereas 96 (24%) were chronic (more than 4 weeks since the injury).
Other sports may have this injury more than football? No way!
Results: Sporting activity was responsible for 275 ruptures (68%). This was higher in patients younger than 55 years of age (77%) than those older than 55 years (42%). Basketball was the most commonly involved sport, accounting for 132 ruptures (48% of sports ruptures, 32% of all ruptures), followed by tennis in 52 ruptures (13%, 9%), and football in 32 ruptures (12%, 8%).
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5545059/
In conclusion, this study begins to define the role of aging in Achilles tendon biomechanics and ankle function in order to better understand the heightened injury risk in an increasingly active middle aged population. Specifically, we utilized a highly controlled animal model to investigate how Achilles tendon mechanical, structural, and functional properties vary from young to old age through a battery of in vivo and ex vivo assays. Key deficits in tendon material properties with increasing age were identified, which may help explain the increased rupture incidence of the middle aged population, especially when considered in tandem with the functional impairments detected in this study. Macroscale differences in tendon organization and composition were not observed, suggesting that other factors are primarily responsible for age-related deterioration of tendon mechanical strength.
Middle-aged men, both pro-athletes and recreational, seem to suffer from Achilles tendon injuries more often than any other age group or gender. While the tendon is designed to stretch and absorb the impact of running, walking and jumping, these injuries may occur more often since men will go on to jump, run, or walk higher and faster than their bodies may permit.

I know I have personally seen people tear their achilles playing pickup basketball. Definitely not on turf. I bet one could research some pretty decent achilles injuries suffered by Euro soccer players...on grass.
A 40 year old tears his achilles during a contact play and people are acting surprised blaming the surface??

Wonder who ended up making 53 man rosters. Center Grove’s Russ Yeast made the Rams for the 2nd straight year. He earned a start end of last season at the safety spot.
Had to put a plug in for Russ Yeast, former Center Grove standout….great week 1

interesting timeline............
The 36 min phone call at 12:39am on April 28th, 2022 is interesting. Not only Tucker's "self-pleasure" actions, but why would anyone pick up the phone at that time and then converse for that long?
The actual complaint filed Dec 2022?

Harvest Prep (OH) @ Center Grove: Another team from the Buckeye state travels to Greenwood this Friday night and I know very little about them other than the fact that they are 3-0. MaxPreps has em at #35 in Ohio and if that is even close to true, it'll be a long bus ride back east. CG rolls 31-7.
I don't know much about Harvest Prep. Looked it up and its just SE of Columbus. 3.5 hour drive for them. Ugh.

Kansas much improved. Coach Leipold seems to know how to win. Not sure if they can get over the hump.
Former Center Grove standout, Austin Booker, is currently playing strong for the Jayhawks from his DE position
