    Interesting theory.  I had this same conversation earlier this week with a Purdue basketball fan after it was learned that Mason Gillis was only getting a 4 game suspension to start this upcoming college basketball season for a drunk driving incident this summer.  4 games (6 if you count 2 exhibition games which I don't) seemed light to me given the severity of his actions but they argued that we don't know what Coach Painter required of him off the court.  Personally, I think nothing hammers home the point to a player like missing games.  To his credit, Painter did suspend Gillis long enough that he would at least miss one real game on their schedule (North Carolina) but I'd have liked to have seen it be more in the 8-10 games range.  At least it was a bit better than going through the charade of suspending him right up until you have to play a meaningful game.  But when a player does something like Gillis did that shows a blatant disregard for other people, I believe serious consequences are justified.  

    Seems to me like you’re a little more invested in this incident than you’re letting on.  First you were innocently inquiring about the availability of a few players, as if the game would be more competitive.  Now you’re holding public court on these boys and the coach.  Seems a little trollish to me.  Go find another sandbox to play in.

    I'm just trying to figure out when Eastbrook will have all their players back.  An Eastbrook fan said they would be shorthanded last week.  I don't know all the details and I have no authority to "prosecute" anyone.  I think if Eastbrook has all their players, this game will end up with a running clock.  If not, maybe Alexandria can pull the upset.  

    Running clock no matter what.  I’m sure that’s what you meant.

    Again, I haven't done anything.  I think it says something that you're focusing on me here.  Kind of explains the problem actually.  

    Is this your attempt to talk about CIC football, or to prosecute teenagers or a coach, who you would have people believe is corrupt or criminal?  I question your motives with comments like this and others you’ve made in the past.

    Um.  I'm not the bad guy here.  I'm just curious how long they're going to be without those players.  I certainly have my opinion but am interested to see how Coach Adamson handles this.    Will it just be a token, one-or-two-game suspension or will it be taken seriously?  

    Again, TROLL!!

    Madison-Grant vs. Mississinewa ©, 10 am, Ball State

    Alexandria vs. Blackford ©, 1 pm, Ball State

    Frankton vs. Elwood ©, 4 pm, Ball State

    Oak Hill vs. Eastbrook ©, 7 pm, Ball State

     

    Hoping all 8 teams get to participate this Saturday at Ball State!!!

    Ole Miss by a lot.  Panthers shut them down this week, but another week of practice with a new QB will help them get their first win of the season.

    Alex hungry to hopefully get to play this week, were they able to practice at all during the virtual learning period?  Still get the win either way.

    Frankton with an easy win, Elwood still trying to find an offense.

    Game of the night.  Battle of the Undefeated!!!  Can Eastbrook shut down Turanchick, Can Oak Hill slow down the entire Eastbrook offense?

    The Panthers were able to subdue the RB's of Ole Miss last week and I see it happening again this week.  OH may run for a touchdown, but I don't see several from the same person.  Eastbrook takes this by a few touchdowns.

     

    Be safe, stay healthy and see everybody at Ball State Saturday!!!

     

    I agree with your assessment, except for the Eastbrook vs Oak Hill game.  I believe this will be a pretty close game.  It all depends on Oak Hill’s defense.  I think they can slow the Panthers down a little and I think the Golden Eagles will score a couple of times.  In the end it’s Eastbrook by 21 points.  I’m hoping for some good games on Saturday.  It’s always a fun day at Ball State.

    and Hamilton Heights (the 3A team) that you faced at your scrimmage.  

    Either one of those idiotic responses were OOB.  

    See ya at LOS on Thanksgiving Weekend???  I mean YOU!   I plan on being there.  

    You like that idiotic word, don’t you.  I doubt you’ll see me anywhere.  Have a great day, boss!  I appreciate the lesson!!

    How about you worry about Saturday at Ball State vs. Oak Hill?    Just an EXPERT opinion..

    You do realize that I didn’t say anything about how good or bad Eastbrook, Oak Hill, or any CIC team was.  I only said that Rensselaer wasn’t as good as I thought they were.

    You don't ...just PAY your admission fee!   

    Which fee is that?

    Ya might want to get with the program and figure out how things work around here before you toss out idiotic thoughts.  

    I tend to worry about my personal relationship with Jeff more so than what a "Fan/Dad" thinks.  That's why they play 9 regular season games, then EVERYONE gets a playoff game.  

    Your concern about a 3A school at a scrimmage is (in your opinion) as skewed as ME posting that I was at a HCC contest last Friday night.  

    I would worry more about, Tipton, Bishop Luers and Oak Hill than I would about a scrimmage vs. Hamilton Heights.  NO ONE shows their 'arsenal; at a scrimmage.  If they would or do...that's not a program that's very smart.  

    Just my $.02   (That's a 10 year+ response that THIS guy has had....also known as GID cache) 

    Thanks for the advice!  I’ll keep it in mind.  I don’t need to worry about any team.  I don’t play or coach.  I just have an opinion, like you.  Is that alright with you, boss?

    Yeah, you can change the name, but it's still the same troll. He's just bitter because Eastbrook has never beaten Hamilton Heights.

    Only one game that I can recall, and that one was pretty close.  Little touchy!

    Why don’t you two hold hands on the Hoosier conference thread?

    Scrimmages aren't games. There wasn't one play run in that scrimmage by Hamilton Heights using their starting line up. If Eastbrook looks at a scrimmage as a victory, they really need to get out more. You'll figure it out. 

    Didn’t say victory, did I?  I don’t speak for Eastbrook.  I was speaking for myself.  Besides, they still didn’t look that good to me.

    Why am I sensing the stench of a TROLL on the GID?  

    No troll here.  I was at the scrimmage.  We’re you??

    Classless !!!

    Nope, just telling it like it is.  Eastbrook played their scrimmage against Hamilton Heights and they weren’t very good.  HH beat the Bombers, so that tells me that they aren’t as good as I thought.  You’ll get over it.

    I'm heading to Rensselaer to watch my Husky take on the Bombers. Pregame meal of a Wagonmaster at the Wagon Wheel Bar & Grill.

    Believe me, @Yuccaguy, you don't want to watch yourself on TV. Take my word for it. Bwahahahaha!

    I hope you have a great meal, because I’ve got a feeling that will be the only thing about this evening that you’ll enjoy.  Hamilton Heights doesn’t look like a very tough ball club this year.  It might be a long night against the Bombers.

    Well Mississinewa didn't even play last week due to Covid.  From what I heard, neither them nor Marion could play so the issue was on both sides.  I've heard that not all Grant County schools have handled covid cases appropriately when it comes to athletic teams and events though.  Hopefully all teams are able to play going forward.

    Care to elaborate.  I was referring to injuries not COVID-19.  I would actually like to hear from someone that might have some insight into Eastbrook or Mississinewa.  Thanks.
