I can’t say I would be a fan of this unless the SIAC went back to having some non conference games. Memorial and Mater Dei would be fun matchups….but many of us fans enjoy the Heritage Hills matchups just as much….and also gotta keep Princeton in check every year.

Lol thats @Rudywebsite

Maybe it’s wasn’t tut. I think I am mistaken but there was a long time miner faithful on here who did pass

If memory serves me correct king tut unfortunately passed away this last year One of the other miner faithful made a post about it I believe

Why do you think I’m arguing with you for some reason? Where did I even try to discredit the WIC…I don’t even know what the WIC stands for or where any of those teams are even located lol calm down buddy

please. would be nice if GS didn’t have to travel to New Albany/Bowling Green/Columbus for the tough matchups they have been seeking out of conference. Mater Dei and Memorial would be huge games for the area and a good measuring stick for everyone. castle/North would be fun ones for GS to schedule too

It sorts itself out because usually you’ll schedule a crossover game anyways. im sure luers would schedule some of the big schools of the SAC and from those matchups people will just know who the best team is. the biggest benefit from this is that it gives all schools the flexibility to schedule to their teams needs. Schools that have historically struggled can now schedule matchups that would be better for them which can help get some momentum. for the stronger teams in the conference they can use the flexibility to schedule tougher opponents to help prepare the team for the postseason more. it’s just more of a “schedule how you see fit” kinda thing At least in the PAC, it seems like all 10 teams in the conference are happy with the change and has allowed for there to be 4-5 strong teams every year instead of the 1-3 strong teams of the past

Kinda seems like the SAC was watching how the PAC played out and liked what they observed. agreed on no championship game. There really isn’t a need for it except for the fans who want to pound their chest

If you followed OSU and didn’t just post this to stir up the pot then you would know that the defense hasn’t been a problem for only the last 6 quarters. this defense has been very off brand for a buckeye defense all year.

Traditionally they are a .500 team. And this year they were a great team but that doesn’t even matter and isnt even my point. Point is…SIAC being closed off has allowed GS to schedule some of the former SIAC opponents

Because the opponents GS would schedule out of conference probably would have been PAC schools. The likes of columbus north and new Albany probably wouldn’t have been available. part of the reason GS has been able to beef up their schedule is because the SIAC closed themselves off freeing up a number of opponents. maybe you’re right though…depending on how it would have worked out back then, it’s possible the schedule for GS would have been stronger than the current format

The SIAC wanted to be 12 teams instead of 10 it was going to be the additions of Vincennes Lincoln, Jasper, Gibson Southern, and Boonville. Last minute Boonville backed out which meant that GS couldn’t join since the SIAC understandably wanted an even number joining for the sake of balance. they are more/less unintentionally isolated off….and frankly I’m not sure they can find a way to change that now because the aftermath of the SIAC caused the BIG 8 to dissolve and all the remaining teams besides Mt Carmel (Illinois) joined the PAC. the results of all this moving are that PAC teams have 4 games they can freely schedule as they see fit. On top of that, Gibson Southern now can (And did) schedule a stronger SoS than what they could have if they had joined the SIAC…so chances are, SIAC is going to be closed off for a while

If only we could time travel and take an entire team back to 2018 to see that matchup. it’s probably going to be a long time before EM and GS have teams that can be in the same tier of conversation as those you have mentioned.

Heritage Hills has some legacies who have something to say about that lol

and yet here we are 6 months later

I’m done with your BS. You have interviewed Coach Hart…ask him yourself instead of stirring up the pot just because you want Indiana football to be played like a game of Risk. he might later down the road…all a possibility. And he will have his support from the GS community and beyond follow him if he ever chooses to leave for whatever reason it may be. Imo it just wouldn’t make sense to accept a promotion to AD after 10 years of being at the school only to leave 6 months later. It just doesn’t make sense to me

When your name is in the same company as Coach Dodge from Westlake Texas, that’s special company. Westlake is a powerhouse

150k might not be enough in Texas at some of those schools lol. Then again…no income tax 🤔🤔

I want you to stop desperately trying to stir up controversy and read what I am about to write here. Coach Hart accepted the promotion to Athletic Director for Gibson Southern THIS YEAR. Let me repeat….THIS YEAR….Allen was already a senior. The team had its eyes set on a state title and was one of the favorites to represent 3A south. Why on earth would someone take on a new position that requires a ton more responsibility and one that relies on the person being a stable fixture to the school if he was thinking about leaving at all? Especially in this Covid era where so many sports are cancelling matchups or rescheduling. I’m fairly certain that if Coach Hart had even a small desire to change things up, that it would have been mentioned during the hiring process. No school board would unanimously vote someone into being the Athletic Director for their HS if they didn’t believe the new hire would keep the position for some time after….and on top of that, anyone applying to be the AD wouldn’t do so if they knew they were going to seek out other opportunities in the near future. Everything you just typed out was a complete waste of your time simply because you didn’t read and you neglected to use any critical thinking on this subject.

Every single offseason since he took over as the HC for Gibson Southern….and I really do mean every single one…there has been all this speculation that he would leave. Numerous coaching positions have opened up during that time including ones that would put him near his parents or even one at his alma mater (Reitz). And he has stayed. he has spoken numerous times about how he loves the GS community and how they are “All in” with their support of the team. He’s also stated that he loves that his best friends outside of work are also his assistant coaches. The man works with his best friends every day, he has an incredible amount of support from the community, he’s had tremendous success every year for a decade, and he just got a promotion to AD… but sure…tell us how reviving a program in the HCC or MIC is more appealing lol

I’ve been had

Who was that super tall kid that played for a 1A school not too many years ago? I want to say north central or something…kid was like 6’8 and last name began with K. But no idea if he played beyond HS

Meh for such a minor comment you sure want to make it bigger than what it is im calling a spade for a spade…he’s the best play caller/play designer in the state. And like anyone who is great at that, they leave opposing defensive coordinators guessing and rattle their head. football is as much a mental game as it is a physical game…and I would like to think the people behind the headsets on Friday nights are just as important for winning as the talent on the field.

@Rudydoing the some great work once again gathering all the votes/info link: http://www.almanacsports.com/article.php?news_id=2021122701 Nothing too surprising imo. congrats to all. If you feel like someone was missed, sign up for the email and encourage others to as well so you can vote next year. I think I read in the notes on the page that there were a number of schools who had no player with a vote. 425 votes or so total, so that number can get better for sure.
