Absolutely. Hope that stuff doesn’t happen at IU. Good enough for you??? You happy??

Agree… really feel for Florida State. One key injury makes history. First undefeated conference champ to miss the playoffs. Just doesn’t feel right, but understand it…

….kinda like you on this forum from your basement? Let’s be honest…if Cignetti would have left it at Purdue and Ohio State sucks, you would have been just fine But you got your panties in a wad because he included your favorite team. Take a breath Karen. Heck, if Cignetti was honest, he would have said those cheating turds at Michigan suck!

Speaking of Ro Elliott, he rushed for 91 yds on 17 carries and 2 TD’s and a couple catches out of the backfield for Southern Illinois in a tough 20-17 OT FCS playoff loss against Idaho. I believe his final collegiate game.

Yeah...I am good with your statement. I could care less if Cignetti states your favorite team sucks. I will state again, I just hope he doesn't get suspended 6 games during one season for multiple rules violations. If you consider that statement as far gone....I will happily live in that world. Door is always open if you want to visit.....

Hilarious comment from a Michigan fan. Hopefully, he will run a clean program, resist cheating, represent his university with integrity, demonstrate the highest levels of integrity and fair play to his players and stay on the field avoiding suspensions for being a cheating hack. He may well be at IU longer than Jimmy boy at the land of Walmart Wolverines.

Way to prove ‘em wrong UDub!! Last PAC 12 champs, ran the table and CFB bound. Lovin’ life MP!! Enjoy the trip to NYC!!

Let me think…your opinion vs Nick Saban’s opinion….🤔🧐

Always great to hear from the Stink!!

Perhaps.....but the weekly competition might have also taken its toll. Hard to predict. But he does seem like a talented young man. I think sometimes being from a big school and a top program at the 6A level doesn't always help. I think some prefer the awards go elsewhere......Also being from the same area can also hurt....candidates can cancel each other out.

Seems Bears and Panthers getting more serious. The cheater's days are limited in Ann Arbor. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/jim-harbaugh-rumors-these-two-nfl-teams-are-already-discussing-michigan-coach-as-potential-hire-per-report/

agree completely. I thought he pulled some votes....guessing he and Bell took some away from each other. His Southern Illinois profile below. He went there over Western Michigan and Ball State. https://siusalukis.com/sports/football/roster/ro-elliott/7875

You original post did not indicate state championship in 2023. (see below) That is what confused me. While I agree the award is "supposed" to focus on only their senior year, I think it human nature for voters to look at a larger body of work. I believe in the Yeast case, it haunted him that he only had one year of playing high school football in the state. I believe that was a major factor in why the Indiana Gatorade HS football player of the year didn't win Mr. Football. I am not saying anyone is undeserving in 2023....actually, I've never stated that about anyone winning the award period. I just don't believe winning the state title should be considered as a key criteria. A plus...I guess...but we all know it takes more than one person to win a state football championship.

Just correcting your error when you stated Cherry didn’t win a state Championship. He led his team to one last year. Additionally, winning a state title has never been a prerequisite to earning Mr. Football. I simply provided you an example of a past winner in which his team never made it out of a sectional. If winning a state title is now an expectation, the award is limited to 6 teams. I never claimed you stated anything negative about anyone. Just don’t align with your criteria.

Quite the praise from Nick Saban….

Former Center Grove standout DE earns Big 12 First Team honors!! Way to go Austin!!

??? Tyler Cherry led CG to a state championship his junior year and had a great game against BD in the semi-state as a senior. Not many teams put 30+ points on the Giants this year. Russ Yeast lost the award to a QB that never made it out of a sectional.

What did he say that was incorrect?

No outrageat all....young man from EC heck of a year. But the homer in me goes for Tyler Cherry, CG QB. One of the nation's top prospects. https://www.on3.com/db/rankings/player/football/2024/?position=qb 34 TD's, 6 picks and a 133.7 QB rating against a very tough regional schedule. (Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee schools) https://www.maxpreps.com/in/greenwood/center-grove-trojans/athletes/tyler-cherry/football/stats/?careerid=lf1091ae7k6p9

Guessing he will bring his stud DT and occasional fullback Meany with him!!

Very close. Flip Oregon and Ohio State.

I think those teams have proven it. Washington would be undefeated beating Oregon twice. (my doubts about the 2nd time beating them) That is significant. They would be in no question. If FSU runs the table, huge accomplishment. Absolutely waxed LSU. Have been in the top 4 all season long until their QB was injured. I think they have a more than legitimate shot to be Louisville in the conference tournament. How do you eliminate a team that has run the table? They've held their ranking all season long. Texas...for the same reason FB16 listed...they beat Bama at their place...identical record has to go with head to head competition. True....against an Auburn team that has not been burning it up this year. Bama does not pull that off against Michigan, Oregon, Ohio State, Washington, etc.

Great question...probably in terms of salary. Can always negotiate an Allen separation payment with the admin yo-yo's.
