I saw the game. I'm just surprised Lincoln was able to mount 2 drives that ate up clock and yards. Lincoln didn't do much when we saw them. But they also have some more games under belt since we played.

I'll take: Castle (-10) against North. Reitz (-18) against Boonville Memorial (+4) at Heritage Hills

yea, they couldn't do anything after the half...

I watched it Saturday morning. Castle was a little too demonstrative for my liking and did have a couple of penalties of their own, but nothing like Floyd Central. Like when the FC kid not only ripped McCool's helmet off while he was on the ground, but also threw it 10 yds. downfield. I thought FC could have used some settling down at that point. I also noticed at one point an FC player lost his helmet and was instructed to leave the field, but the FC coach motioned for him the stay on the field and the ref didn't catch it.

Slight corrections...

I'm kinda surprised HH gave up 14 1st half points to Lincoln... As for my thoughts on our game Friday night... I thought our D did exactly what we wanted, which was not take any chances and force SR to try to sustain long drives. While they had yards in the middle of the field, they didn't get into the red zone until the 4Q when the game was already over. I thought our QB was a little impatient in the first half and passed up some opportunities underneath. That was obviously addressed at the half because we were sue we were 4 of 6 on the two drives to open the 2nd half, and 1 of the incompletes was DPI. SR was showing a light box so we ran the ball. I also don't think we opened the whole playbook. I have not heard whether the Indiana SRN crew will be streaming the game. They do all our games. Since HH uses the HUDL production, we may not want to incur the SRN cost. Either way it should be on ihsaatv.org. I sure as heck hope so... I expect we'll see more guys going both ways this week. We really haven't had to do it much yet. Should be a great environment Friday. While Tango rarely misses a Tiger game by choice, I'll be in B-Town at Janko's Friday night so I'll be watching on the iPad.

Agreed. We didn't play very well, due in no small part to SR. SR QB #2 is a tough player. Congrats to both sides for a pretty clean game and especially for showing good sportsmanship and helping each other up from the turf, etc.

it was chippy, but when your team has 3-4 15 yd face mask penalties, 3-4 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and a player ejected it takes courage to call anything associated with the other team trashy and embarrassing.

Sagarin numbers jumped tonight, as I thought they might..

Sorry, I could not see the direction arrows earlier on my iPad for whatever reasons. Should be a great night for football. Safe travels to the Raider fans attending.

Yep, for the SR folks (although none seem to be around), on the picture N is to the right. You should avoid being S of the stadium (left of Washington Ave). There are also plenty of street parking E and NE of A & B parking lots.

The QB was Lindauer and I would bet good money the WR who chewed him out was his cousin, Branson Combs, who now plays at Wake Forest. Do you think Catholics aren't supposed to cuss? Why the f do you think we go to f'ing confession?

I thought it was odd the way the Danville coach ran across the field to shake hands. Never seen that before.

I believe you are correct. I also learned today that Holland and Huntingburg had the same school song, which is now Southridge's. I was a little surprised at that.

The Tiger Football Trivia question from the Coach's Show podcast this week was "Although the Tigers have never played Southridge in football, they did play one of the two schools that consolidated in 1972 to become Southridge. What was the school, the score, the date and that schools' team mascot name?" Answer: The Tigers defeated the Huntingburg Happy Hunters by the score of 47-6 on Sept. 10, 1966. That is one of the best HS mascot names ever...

Exactly right I would be very disappointed if our coach ever gave a quote like that

Coach Hurley said during the podcast last night that Coach Buening started as an assistant at Evansville Harrison. I was not aware of that. Where was Coach before getting the Southridge job?

I agree Muda.

LOL. Titan32 was the one who first projected a Memorial v. Memorial match-up, so blame him!! As big as a game next week would be for the fans, I know all the focus is this Friday for the players. Southridge is a tough opponent for anyone, but especially us because we don't see that style of offense. It's possible some our players played Southridge at much younger levels (middle school). I know we played in 2014, but after that I have no real idea.

Interesting. I would put Fisher on equal standing with Lindauer at QB, but we don't have anyone as dominant as Branson Combs was on either side of the ball. This is the best group of WRs we ever had though.

I don't recall seeing any VL posters on the GID all year. Haven't seen any SR folks lately either. That video was ... What do the kids these days say... cringy?

Calpreps Lincoln (Vincennes, IN) vs. Heritage Hills (Lincoln City, IN) at TBA, 7:00pm [projection and percent chances to win: Heritage Hills (Lincoln City, IN) 38 (98%) Lincoln (Vincennes, IN) 6 (2%)] Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) vs. Southridge (Huntingburg, IN) at TBA, 7:00pm [projection and percent chances to win: Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN) 41 (96%) Southridge (Huntingburg, IN) 14 (4%)] The question is whether these predictions are more accurate than the incorrectly listed start times?

**edit** 49 games...

New Albany at North (-25). North's best W is Vincennes Lincoln, which as a 5A school in the SIAC is just not saying much. New Albany's 3 wins came against opponents with a combined 2-28 record, so they seem to be right on par with the Bosse and Central types of the world. That is right up North's alley. North 35-0. Castle (-7) at Floyd Central. Floyd Central looks the be a pretty solid team. So is Castle. They finished the SIAC losing only to the cheatin' Catholics. Knights 24-14. Bosse (+21) at Boonville. Remember in 2018 when 2-win Bosse nearly beat an undefeated Boonville team in the opening round of the Sectional? I do. Sadly, it scared Boonville out of joining the SIAC. Well, this isn't 2018. Bosse has zero wins and just isn't very good. Boonville 31-8. Reitz at Jasper (-1). Just imagine the pressure on Reitz. Undefeated regular seasons the last 2 years and no Sectional titles to show for it. The Mighty Ps seem to be getting healthy again after some injuries, but facing a disciplined Jasper team on the road that has played pretty well over the last month. Tight tournament games have not been Reitz's forte in recent years. Jasper 24-23. Southridge at Memorial (-11). This game is really interesting because neither team can replicate what the other does. Tigers had a very workmanlike W against MD. Southridge giving up 35 points to MV caught my attention, but seeing they held some kids out and just kept scoring on MV to win with ease. The Raiders will need to be at full strength in the secondary because Memorial has a lot of weapons and Fisher can create time to find them. Memorial will have to read the keys and stop the run. At some point I expect to see the Tigers start rotating some guys in both ways on D. Should be a big All Saints Day crowd in what will only be the Tigers 4th game at Enlow Field this season. Close for quite a while, but Tigers win 35-21. Lincoln (+32) at Heritage Hills. The Patriots pretty-well manhandled a good GS team. I would have liked to have seen GS and MD play. Maybe next year. The Patriots are just too strong for the Alices and will coast 42-0.

I don't think its so much winning or losing as it is connecting with the rest of the state. Only 1 of 97 games played by the SIAC teams so far involved an "outside" opponent.
