Geez, I started this thread as “Long Gone”, as in 4 of 6 schools no longer exist.

Which is exactly what happened in 1976. Carmel was state runner up in 1975 and Mark Herrmann returned for his senior season with a pre-season #1 ranking. He was forced out opening night vs North Central with a sprained ankle. Carmel lost the game. They finished 9-1 and missed the playoffs, even though most considered them the best team.

Carmel was trying to get in to a conference with similar enrollment. Through these times they never ever quit playing the Marion County bigs... North, Lawrence and Warren Central's.

He worked for the Thornberry family. I knew them well.

Carmel enrollment for most, if not all of the Dullaghan years was <2,000. Geez, can't he get some credit?

Olympic Conference Overall W-L Pct. W-L Pct. Carmel 5-0 1.000 9-1 0.900 Kokomo Haworth 4-1 0.800 7-3 0.700 Anderson Madison-Heights 2-3 0.400 7-3 0.700 Huntington North 2-3 0.400 6-4 0.600 Muncie North 1-4 0.200 3-7 0.300 Muncie South 1-4 0.200 1-9 0.100 1976..... The inaugural season for the Olympic Conference. Only 2 schools remain from that conference.

Noblesville knew what they were getting. 1-9 is irrelevant. 2020 was his 1st year.

Mid-60’s. The Fishers Tigers were in the Carmel BBL sectional. They didn’t have football, but there are plenty of us alive today that remember them.

Yeah, it’s mid-third qtr and this already a freezing cold take. I think the Bears D is fine but on the field way to much. Trubisky has played well..... threaded quite a few passes for completions to receivers that can’t seem to get open. Bears O seems predictable and NOLA has the answer EVERY TIME. Except the reverse pitch pass to a wide open..... aaaannnd he dropped it. The Bears waved the white flag at the end of the half. Possession, 2 minutes on the clock and 3 timeouts. Yet they allowed the time to run down without making a serious effort. It’s the playoffs, you play to win. Not cool.

Not sure I would agree with this. Do you have data to support? Certainly population plays an important part. I would think baring outside factors (such as Ohio’s traditions) it would pretty much go by population order. Anyway you size it that puts ill, Mich, Ohio top 3 and Ind 4th. All indications are Ohio is #1, then Mich/ill (pick one). I think we all agree Ohio is 1st and Ky 5th. Except probably DT and Muda.🥴

https://www.ihsaa.org/Portals/0/ihsaa/documents/schools/State Championship History.pdf Carmel leads the state in championships and more than doubles 2nd place North Central. Center Grove is tied for 22nd with a handful of other schools.

Avon Orioles!

You forgot North Central (Indy) and North Central (Farmersburg).

Another “DT” style thread. MIC schools are satisfied. HCC schools are satisfied. CI is on their own. Nothing to see here.

Agreed. Stevie Scott had 99 yards. But the running game was no where to be seen in the 1st half. Some ball control would have kept the defense a little fresher. But the script was written for IU to have the final drive to win the game. Unfortunately the understudy was given the lead part and he couldn’t deliver. A healthy Tuttle is not close to Penix, a wounded Tuttle, well, you get the idea.

Cincinnati pays a visit to Bloomington this fall. Looking forward to it!

I read on ESPN’s sight that Florida barely had the minimum eligible roster because of Covid and opt-outs. Top 4 receivers and 4 starters on defense. So there’s that.

You’re not going to recoup the loss. It’s ridiculous to think you can. You may have to trim some fat to get through the next couple of years, no new equipment purchases, for example. But you hope to have paid attendance the same as before the pandemic. You can’t expect anything more.

Wait. What? Is this an early April fool’s joke? Did not see this coming.

Regardless of the snub, this exposure is critical to Allen’s recruiting. Potential recruits will see LEO live and how this defense flies all over the field. ‘22 and ‘23 recruits are the foundation to building on the program.

Yes because all bowl participants are selected based on their high school recruiting. How many points are you giving based on “UMISS”’s talent advantage?

I should have taken Fisher to place!

When the day comes that nobody will be old enough to understand the phrase “you sound like a broken record”, you will still sound like a broken record.
