  1. would like to think so....but I am not so sure. Perhaps this is why Carmel is trying to move away from CG........
  2. I guess....but what does it have to do with sport in her case?? Does she need sports to earn her revenue?
  3. The promotion/relegation thing is interesting. It works in english soccer for example because of a desire by players to be in the top league, but let's face it...its driven by $$. The higher the league for a team, the more $$ alotted to them. That in turn gives them better players, facilities, etc. That doesn't play out with Indiana high school sports....more funds won't be alotted for an upper league (no motivation there) and I contend many teams would be more than content to "play down" if that increases their odds for trophies. They certainly won't get less funding for "staying down". Don't really see promotion/relegation apples to apples for professional vs. amatuer (in this case high school) sports.
  4. both IN Fan and your thoughts are very interesting and have merit. Whiteland also has to be getting close to 6A and they are growing rapidly.
  5. This is an example of a GREAT coach....he is teaching his team way more than the game of hoops. This is something they will carry with them always.....
  6. thanks....sounds like we had different experiences as it was more than comradery for my children and myself. I guess my expectation is that good coaches should teach you more than the game, as most people will stop playing the game when high school ends, so what does a person really take with them to apply to life? I don't think it matters if the entity is a private or public, as I think we'd all agree that much of education occurs outside of the classroom. Maybe call it a tangible benefit, such as icing on a cake.
  7. I don't remember Bob indicating it was a core mission..... I am not trying to be negative or argumentative in any way...just seeking to better understand what is behind your statement. Question, did you or your children participate in high school athletics? If so, did you not see that athletics teaches an individual and group of people way more than just the game itself?
  8. I believe I read they finished the season last year ranked #37 MaxPreps
  9. Looks like CG added Oakland HS out of Tennessee in place of Carmel for week 2.
  10. There are only so many 6A schools in the state. I am sure the AD has reached out to them all along with many 5A schools. From what I have learned, not been an issue scheduling contests for CG, other than football.
  11. Some seem to believe they are ready to make a run......my guess AR believes they are contenders. https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl-betting-odds-the-jets-are-the-one-super-bowl-future-bet-worth-making-now-145709982.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAI5_0qFL4FfGbAVg7ewEGFf73CcQ9C8iWUwgJNSnpGkSdEfZbUSWvjfa8wa1WGJgTWDRefWgOuzdYaJqpNZBW7vELaQwEkITbs_VnZLk-NpIo1-jd41yKskMyxAnAKhKZfAR-e1OmM_ajxBqLA0nP_eLfu1BKtt8Jk7y4pJZImpE https://theathletic.com/4308345/2023/03/14/new-york-jets-aaron-rodgers-odds/ https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/bettors-are-backing-bears-lions-jets-to-win-the-super-bowl https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/super-bowl-2024-odds-picks-jets-and-vikings-among-top-five-value-plays-for-super-bowl-lviii/ https://www.sportsbookreview.com/picks/nfl/super-bowl-odds/
  12. No to AR.....they have more holes than a QB and he knows the Colts are not SB ready. He has a very short window and he's saying he's going to the Jets. My guess is that they are freeing up $$ for the draft, trades or perhaps Lamar.
  13. I think Austin Power's is excited about BD's decision hiring Coach Mann.....
  14. A different source https://highschoolfootballamerica.com/ben-davis-hires-longtime-indiana-high-school-football-assistant-coach-as-new-head-coach/
  15. Any updates from this Weds tweet from the Indy Star's Kyle Neddenriep?? Didn't realize IHSAA has inserted themselves into this discussion/issue.
  16. Somebody's angry.....(sorry, stole that line from you) So I obviously have no family or friends. Nah...that's not true. I am blessed with great family and friends. Perhaps, I just don't feel like I have an obligation to "educate them" with my own personal views. Big difference. Do you think anyone is truly listening to you?? On GID? You don't find it a tad interesting that you feel obligated to share personal views, when you aren't required or even asked to donate a red cent or an second of your time for an investment?? Yet, you have "friends" that value your opinions anyway? It may be worth some time to self-reflect and seek some feedback to ensure your views are indeed valued.
  17. Thank you for your honesty.... Your friends are indeed fortunate to have you doing their thinking for them. Shame they must lack the ability to educate themselves and draw their own conclusions
  18. Not sure how you jump to extremes about trusting govt. People can desire city improvements being sometimes led by local governments without "blindly trusting government". Hard to have good dialogue with extreme comments and stereotyping. Help me again to understand on this proposed cityof Indianapolis project how YOUR tax dollars are being spent......
