They did win 5A. If I recall correctly, they lost the week before they played to GS to some Tennessee team….and then from GS on out they pretty much blew everyone out of the water.

That will be a monster sized test for this young squad coming up. think GS returns 3 starters? RB/RG/DE obviously some rotation guys are returning but it’s no secret the Titans are graduating the vast majority of the team

If Vincennes were to join I think the move would be to move them into the big school division but then also push one of the other schools down. Imo it should be Washington. don’t think the PAC benefits from top loading the big school division with the more successful teams. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Vincennes possibly joining comes with the possibility that Gibson Southern may look to join the SIAC…I’m personally don’t feel either way about it…I like the PAC and like following the matchups against teams I once played against….joining the SIAC would be fun too though. also not sure how the coaches or administration feels after the last attempt to join the SIAC…or how other PAC schools view GS. i would like to think that the other PAC schools like having GS as a conference foe but I wouldn’t be surprised if some coaches for certain sports wish they didn’t have to play GS as a conference game.

No don’t kid yourself i remember the days of the Big 8 where the BIG 8 fans would always say the PAC was the inferior conference. maybe the SIAC has those country club sports locked down but that’s about it…everything else…any given year the top teams in each conference is on par with each other. shoot if memorial was in the PAC I’m not sure there would be much of an argument for the SIAC

Agreed although…..I wouldn’t put castle in the top tier. For the number of students and social-economic factors…you would think they would be better

Football is the only schedule that would be affected. a non EVSC conference schedule would be fun…but that would be too lopsided in my opinion. I just know that I love the flexibility of the current PAC schedule as a fan and it allows GS to schedule new teams and create interesting matchups. I also actually like the PAC over the SIAC too. I think the SW Indiana fans just keep wanting to test GS and “moving them up”….like a perpetual “you have done good but you still need to prove it versus X”…not to even mention it kinda discredits the rest of the PAC indirectly…GS isn’t too good for the PAC…certainly competitive in most sports but it’s not like GS is dominating every sport. idk…just feels like any talk about GS moving to the SIAC from non GS fans is about “upgrading” conferences….but GS fans like myself seem to only be interested in potential matchups to enjoy and don’t really see the SIAC as some far better conference….more like a rival conference at this point imo

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 🤔🤔
