Good perspective. I am sure it was meant to be respectful, but some take it differently. I am sure when North Dakota, Eastern Michigan, Marquette and others selected their nicknames and mascots, they meant it as a compliment and in the most respectful way. Still, all of have changed.
Who would have thought the nickname Colonials with the mascot of George Washington for a university named after him would have been deemed offensive???? SMH
The problem would be who would have enough money to fight Notre Dame on the issue. They would bury any law firm we could hire.

I'll take a gander and say that it's the guy, in the second row, who is distracted and not paying any attention. Typical ref! 😝
Nah. Gotta be the guy in the first row on the right. Look at the hair. 😅
But really. I'd say second row. Second from the right.

Your source is wrong. Why was Rochester the first call Valley made when they initiated the switch? Why did their AD say that Valley and Rochester must keep playing each other? The gate is too good for either team to "distance itself". You don't have a source. You have an uninformed bystander.
Wow. Such anger. Lighten up Francis. 🙂

I'm hearing from a pretty good source that Tippy is trying to distance itself from Rochester. Thus part of the reasoning the Zebras declined.

Breaking on WHME Sports.
Jimtown, Glenn and Bremen have sent letters to Northern Indiana Conference asking to leave the league by 2024-25.
Tippy Valley sent a letter to Three Rivers Conference asking the same.
LaVille and Knox have asked to leave the Hoosier North Athletic Conference.
Rumor has it Rochester turned down a request to join, and Fairfield is entertaining the offer.

OK, here's your one free pass. What former moniker/handle(s) did you use 20+ years ago?
I went by my name when I was actively working in newsrooms and reporting at the Ev Courier, Bloomington H-T, and Spencer County JD/News.
Brief stint of PAC Fan or something of the sort.
I believe @dawgieinthepound was still shoving Playdough up his nose then ... well he still might be.
Same ole', same ole'. Been 77Jimmie since 1998. (But TA used to call me Jimmie77.)
-
Wow. I was really active back then. I joined the Gridiron Digest the week before Semi State in 1998. Been a wild journey.

Yeah. I did go in and read the cancellation thread after I posted.
But this way it brings it up to the forefront. We don't have to read through every thread to get this information. 🙂

Undefeated 1A Southwood is out of the tourney because of COVID.
WABASH, Ind. (WANE) — Southwood will go down in the record books as not having lost a single game in 2020 – their only loss, as it were, came against the pandemic.
Southwood has been ruled out of postseason play due to a COVID situation that will cause all members of the Knights football program to quarantine for the next 14 days.
Head coach Dave Snyder spoke with WANE-TV sports director Glenn Marini on Tuesday night. Snyder said he was emotional when contacting his players – who were not allowed to meet face-to-face – to break the news.
Southwood was 9-0 in the regular season and ranked 3rd in the state’s latest 1A poll. The Knights were set to open sectional play this Friday at home against rival Northfield in a game that was to be featured on the Highlight Zone as one of the area’s best match-ups.

Undefeated Southwood is also cancelling their first round sectional game because of COVID. How many more are we going to see?

I love all high school football. From "good", "bad", to "everything in between". I have been a part of HS football for the better part of the past 28 years as a player, coach, and official. My goal is to do so, until I can not walk anymore. As so many great folks sacrificed for me to have opportunities, I owe that to future generations in return.
I fully support the free choice of local districts to offer what they want to offer to their communities.
Have a great day all.
***To those that may question, I am on lunch right now. 🙂
28 YEARS?????? Tim Adams started the Indiana Football Digest in 1998. Maybe my math is off?

As I said - (IMHO) it is only an opinion since I am not privy to the innerworkings of the GID, nor do I want to be.
Contrary to popular belief, there AREN'T any innerworkings of the GID. All of us have other jobs and lives and don't really put an extreme amount of focus on it. (Except maybe our Moderators, Coach Nowlin and Irishman.)

It would continue to uphold the vision of the GID as described by it's late founder, Mr. Tim Adams. IIRC he felt strongly about having a "non-football" forum available on the GID.
Not really Muda. I'm pretty sure I knew Tim much better than you. The vision of TGD was, and IS to promote High School Football in Indiana. The reason Tim put up with OOB was to drive traffic the the Football Forum. He and I had multiple conversations, in person, about that.

Who benefits the most from this? Testing companies. We all know the testing companies have Holcomb in their back pocket. Let's hope we don't have to adhere to this. Would be a logistical nightmare as well as complete torture to subject players to this invasive testing that often. Then what, if they have had a positive result or a antibody positive test, does that mean they don't have to keep doing this? Too many questions for me and effectively they are shutting down sports without really shutting down sports...
This also creates a false sense of security because between that 72 hours, you are not quarantining so you could acquire the virus during that time period...
Uh. This is from Ohio. Holcomb has nothing to do with it. He is INDIANA's Governor.

If there weren't vast personal ties attached to his decision, I would agree with you, but I can't fault a man for following his family, especially in the latter parts of his career. Some career opportunities come up only once and a person has to take advantage and not struggle with "what-ifs" for the rest of their life.
This gives Coach H the chance to reunite with his Warrior family and gives him a short drive from home. Radtke can now be closer to his family as well.
It also beefs up the HNAC into a potential small school powerhouse conference, with Pioneer, LaVille, Knox, Winamac, and North Judson all looking to have some strong teams in the upcoming years. The HNAC is looking to be a slugfest at the top.
AG. You are absolutely correct.
But even with that said. From the outside it looks bad.

Didn't Marian petition to move up two classes after they won the 1973 state championship?
One class.
They voluntarily moved up from 1A to 2A. And won the next two state championships.

Elkhart Central is at 633 right now. Assuming after the merger into just Elkhart High School that the Central wins would be locked in at their final resting spot?
Actually. Elkhart High School split in 1972. So you would have thought Elkhart High School's wins would have been locked right then. The 633 wins are obviously Elkhart High School and Elkhart Central High School combined. Why would we think they wouldn't continue after the merger?
