True! All the "Invitationals" that schools host in Sept. & Oct (leading up to districts, regionals, etc.) are strictly for practice and to be scored and critiqued by actual judges. And, it's a money maker for the host school. Look for Bands of America, which has regionals all over the country and finals at LOS to be the next domino to fall.

From the Oxford English Dictionary: Usage The term American Indian has been steadily replaced in the US, especially in official contexts, by Native American, which became prominent in the 1970s. The latter is preferred by some as being a more accurate and respectful description (the word Indian recalling Columbus' assumption that, on reaching America, he had reached the east coast of India), as well as avoiding the stereotype of cowboys and Indians in the stories of the Wild West. However, American Indian is still widespread in general use even in the US, partly because it is not normally regarded as offensive by American Indians themselves. Nevertheless, since the category American Indian is very broad, it is preferable where possible to name the specific people, such as Apache, Comanche, or Sioux.

So, honest question. Was the term "Native American" given to the ones who were here originally by the PC people or is this the name they prefer. Are they adamantly opposed to the term "Indian"?

Wasn't Miami an Indian Tribe?

It's no secret that MB families buy a lot of tickets to football games. But, probably doesn't matter this year.

Like picking low hanging fruit......... Just do a mirror image: 6A schools Chesterton and Merrillville both scheduled early non-con games against 4A Hobart. 6A schools Crown Point and Portage both scheduled early non-con games against 4A Lowell. See how that's done? It instantly defeats your narrrative. South Adams and Adams Central were ranked 4 & 5 in the final 1A Sagarin ratings. AC made 2 straight semi-state appearances. Combined in the last 4 seasons Bellmont has been outscored 265 - 111. Record- 0 - 8.

Is attending a sectional basketball game considered being at work?

Simply put...... all end zone cameras are required to wear masks.

If Collier made that decision, he changed it. I attended the Hinkle regional in '02. Edit: What a bad memory. Collier didn't become AD until 2006, so you might very well be right!

12,000+ is plenty for just about any playoff game. Parking? I don't know about that. But the biggest thing is ISU is in Terre Haute........ not north, not really south, just extremely west!

New on Netflix this week........."The Last Temptation of Driven T". A dramedy starring Jim Carrey and Carrot Top.Rotten Tomatoes rates it "a must see"!

You have to admit sometimes you make it pretty easy.

Spring housing starts in the doughnut counties for the spring period ranked Westfield #1, Fishers #2 and Avon #3.

Yes on both.

Interesting that you have Brownsburg 3 and Carmel 4. Does that mean you will favor the Bulldogs to eliminate Carmel in the sectional?

This is almost identical, although much more yardage, as Avon's flea flicker to beat Center Grove in 2004.

Welp. Tried to edit my above post. It was '16 when you lost to Westfield. In '15 you beat New Pal in the BBL state championship for 5A, 64-61. Kudos.

I will admit I am a character. But SAC posters need to admit they sometimes have an inflated ego.

Well, they either played in a very tough conference and peaked at the right time...... or Homestead sucked!

But they almost handed Homestead their lunch in the playoffs!

That's a question for the Fort Wayne posters.

It will be Avon/Brownsburg then the rest. With Carmel in their sectional, that's when we answer your question.
