Bet @PHJIrishis outraged at this selfishness.  He missed 4 days of practice!

Not as much as Greg Doyle!

Carson Wentz has cleared Covid protocol and is now on the active list.

Both were similarly dominated by their SEC daddy’s. Both were abysmal in 4th down conversions. 
Cincy kept it respectable for the most part even though the outcome was never in doubt.

I’d take the Bearcats if they had played today.

Tennessee was robbed of a TD. No way he was down or forward progress was stopped. Play to the whistle. 

1. Nobody knows when the whistle blew

2. The replay kept showing the side judge running up to the play calling for timeout, but no replay showed when he started his run or when he blew the whistle.  I suspect it was much earlier.

I think the SEC is the best football conference yet acknowledge schools and conferences are gaining ground.  Does that make me a "slappy"?  😂

Gee, sounds a little like the MIC vs HCC argument.

I have to applaud the Tennessee fan base.  How many were there?  50,000?  Host cities would have to drool every time it's announced that UT is coming to play in their bowl.

Tom Allen’s best recruiting class? 2022. 

14th according to Rivals.

19th according to 24/7.

Did you not hear about this?

I’m saying Carmel don’t want in , The Grove doesn’t need them either. Cathedral is just peachy, not in a conference. New conference or nothing. 

I think you’re the one that has been drinking.

Congrats to Brady, he is officially Mr. Football!

It would be nice to see 6A sectionals made up of teams that didn't play each other during the regular season. 

I’m trying to figure out if this is a serious statement. There’s only 32 teams, so show me a sample schedule that doesn’t involve more than 100 miles of travel.

We’ll dumb it down for you. It’s a high school football award. Nothing more, nothing less. Congratulate the winner and move forward. 

You forgot to add "a game played by children", I swear to god you did!

Avon’s F/R/L percentage (there it is again) is 6x that of Zionsville’s and 4x that of Carmel’s and the gap is growing.

If by “fine” you mean bottom half of the conference in every sport, you’re right.

They’d have the lowest rate among current MIC schools.

They need to make the move.

Avon is planning on breaking ground in late 2022 or early 2023 on the new Easton Grey development, a mixed use community along the White Lick greenway.  Along with high-end apartments and townhomes, there will be approx. 850 single family homes, ranging in price from $350k - $750k and up. This will be the long sought "downtown" Avon has been missing. Not all of those families will send their kids to Avon schools, but those that do will only help the F/R/L percentage. I know parents that sought out Avon schools because of their commitment to inclusion. Avon's high graduation rate does not fit in with Marion County school systems. In summary, Avon has no interest in leaving the HCC.  

And yes, Avon has fielded state level competitive teams in track, wrestling, soccer, volleyball, football, softball,  etc. 

The thing about Carmel is this....  they are going to dominate everyone in swimming, tennis, cross country. Every other sport will be cyclical but they will be top 5 in most. They will be a great challenge to HCC athletics to raise the bar.

Impressive bit of research.  3 factors immediately come to mind as I contemplate your question.

1. CN is not at all thrilled with the year to year instability of Conference Indiana.  Travel to Bloomington and Terre Haute are less than desirable.  The school would prefer to find a new long term home.

2. Joining The New MIC means avoiding CG and CA during the regular season.  Meeting them in the post season is something I think Bless would eventually embrace, assuming he has a strong team to offer.  

3. Outside of CG and CA, the MIC is in a downward spiral from a competitive standpoint.  I doubt he is intimidated at the prospect of playing BD and WC.  CN played both Roncalli and Cathedral this year, 2 Top 5 teams in the state.  I dont see CN hiding from this type of challenge.  Bless was giving his best Lou Holtz response when he addressed the enrollment question.  

 

The chance to be in the spotlight every Friday night and away from the CI nightmare should be a no brainer for CN.  They should already have their application in as we speak.

So Carmel and CG want a new vision for their athletics because of "culture" differences, but Columbus North wouldn't care?

Don't be a jackass and develop a sense for sarcasm.

I bet you are a ton of fun at parties.

I guess I’m a jackass for not knowing you better? I can see by a later post that it was sarcasm, but I don’t really get into personalities and the like. So, carry on I guess.

I will say it again, we will find out who Mr. Football is in about 5 years.   If #18 becomes an elite QB I am going to unleash a big fat "I told you so."

 

This may be the most ignorant statement I’ve ever read, anytime, anywhere. 

It’s official. Announced today.

IF both are accepted into the HCC, I can see a closed 9 game schedule initially for 2-3 years, just to spite the MIC so they have to look elsewhere to fill their schedule.

Damn, didn’t know Whiting has had so much success. That’s impressive. 

Last 20 years........ 1 regional title, 1 semistate title.  Other than those 2 years..... no sectional titles.  I guess they fail a lot.

So basically, win state and win your class's coach of the year.  Seems pretty simple. Am I missing anything?

Grossman was also able to get the Bears to a superbowl while Cutler, in the eyes of some Bears fans, quit on his teammates in the NFC championship game in 2011.

I don’t know how, because he absolutely crapped his diaper in that super bowl.

I do think Michigan can beat Georgia.....I was not impressed with Bennett against the Bama defense. I think the Michigan defense will dominate. If they can pull it off, they are back in Indy; close to home; a slight advantage having just played in that building. Cincy's offense might be able to move the ball, but I do not think they have the defense to stop Bama. 

Wow. Are you basing this on Georgia's one performance against 'Bama?  I think UM can be in this game, but domination by the defense is a reach.

The second I saw the title of the thread I knew who authored it.

Avon QB Mason Reynolds is listed as a junior on the 6A junior all-state team. He’s only a sophomore.

Didn’t even realize they did positional awards for this but congrats to all awarded. 
 

I would like to add that Ashton Craig has also been nominated for the “man of the year” award by the All American Bowl.  

I believe Mr. Football is voted on by the coaches from the position winners only, no?

Not much ROOM left.

I patiently read through this thread to see if you had some kind of sound reasoning for this. Turns out you don’t.
