  1. Regional. Semi-state would be Roncalli or New Pal.
  2. Reitz by 35 over Central MD over Jasper by 14 Memorial by 21 in the < upset ? > North over Bosse by 27 Lincoln keeps rolling in a FG squeaker over Castle
  3. Can't wait to see Memorial and Reitz at Enlow....
  4. Both have proven to be contenders. It's wise to never get too caught up in the first few weeks. The Tigers still have a player or two to get back, including one on the cover of the IFD. I think we'll be okay as things play out.. MD will be a tough out in 2A.
  5. cloud of rubber pellets....
  6. IMO Reitz's W over Lincoln looks more impressive than the W over Jasper at this point. Sounds as if Jasper was still without some key players. Sectional 24 will be interesting.
  7. No idea, but the RB is Rode. All Memorial needs to do is run the ball.
  8. Fear of a firearm in the school.
  9. Magistrate Judge Ryan Reed of the Vanderburgh Circuit Court entered an order this morning reversing the decision of the Ind. Dept. of Education's Case Review Panel upholding the IHSAA's decision to only allow limited eligibility at Memorial until Oct. 29. As a result, this young man will be immediately eligible to play tomorrow night for Memorial in their game against, you guessed it, Evansville Central.
  10. I predict Memorial will score a TD on O this week.
  11. No. You are getting bad info. The judge has not made a decision yet. Cool your jets...
  12. No, the judge has not made a decision yet.
  13. There is always far worse on social media than anyone could ever get from a bunch of geezers on the GID....
  14. A guy who would be out of business quick.
  15. Finally getting that post-season title to put on the letter jacket is a lot better than the PAC titles and Hometeam Fridays POW patches, isn't it?
  16. Just to clear up any confusion... There will not be a hearing. The parties (the family and the IHSAA) have filed briefs (overly simplistic description but it suffices) and the judge is expected to make a decision in the next two days as to whether this young man has limited eligibility until Oct. 29 or full eligibility beginning this Friday night.
  17. Let's see, it is Wednesday, so < looks at Lou Holtz planner > our only chance is if we play mistake-free ball and catch some lucky breaks.
  18. I agree, but think there are a number of reasons why they are under-utilized: (1) Even with the voucher there is a cost; (2) pride - some people are embarrassed to seek financial help; (3) the disciplinary and academic expectations placed on students scares some people away; (4) some non-Catholics might fear their kid is going to get indoctrinated into the Catholic church (they are required to take 8 semesters of theology, but nobody tries to convert them to Catholicism); (5) despite efforts to educate the community that the voucher has been greatly expanded (too far IMO), some parents still do not know, or are uninterested, or do want to get off the path they are accustomed to traveling; and (6) As you know, we also have some very good public schools - Castle, EVSC, SIG. As a community we are pretty fortunate.
  19. Not recently, at least by anyone who has been involved in the boards that govern the school through the diocese. Geographically Memorial is very close to the center of Evansville as is and building a new school solely from private capital contributions would be next to impossible. Both schools have very loyal alumni bases that support their school at very high levels. If either school closed, there might be some migration to the other, but by and large most of the migration would be to public schools. SIG School would pull non-athletes from both. If either closed, the trickle down effect to the feeder parishes would be significant. Mater Dei has had good, strong leadership for some time. Finally, after several years of very poor President/Principal leadership, Memorial has new people in place and the energy in the building and in the school community is very high. Our enrollment should continue to increase as it did this year for the foreseeable future. What I think would happen if the diocese was ever forced to look at scarce education funding issues is that both schools might cease being "parochial" (supported in part by the parishes) and become "private" (no diocesan support). This is the same as what they have in Indy with Cathedral (private) and Chatard, Scecina, Ritter, Roncalli (all parochial). I would have no problem with Memorial cutting ties to the diocese and being a private school like Cathedral. Being tied at the hip might in some ways be a detriment to each school in different ways. It is definitely an interesting thought. Raises lots of issues and ramifications.
  20. No brainer calls IMO. Sad that the announcers saw no issue, which might explain a little bit. Kid looks like a great player, but he needs some behavior modification. It actually seems like a pretty easy fix, the coach just needs to make him hand the ball to the official after every run. If he doesn't, he comes out for the rest of the quarter. Some discipline now might just impact his future.
  21. No. The backup played baseball most of the summer. He isn't the answer. He charts plays. He wasn't taking notes.
  22. Take North +10. We will be even thinner this week.
  23. That isn't a stat to hang our hats on. Like you saying your sister is a good kisser...LOL. The key in the game was us throwing 2 incompletions inside our 10 late in 2nd Q, which gave Jasper the ball with TOs and way too much time. They scored with under 30 secs and seized Big Mo. Our only TD being a a KOR is big concern IMO.
  24. Meh. We looked very mediocre IMO. QB couldn't hit the dart board, drops if he came close, and waaaaay too many YAC. The Tigers have a lot of work ahead of them if they want to compete for SIAC. Jasper deserved to win tonight, but they won't run the table this year. Smallest Jasper team I've seen in a long time, which makes the L ever worse.
