Snider’s success is built around one key thing: coaching. In the last 40+ years, they have had 3 head coaches, Mike Hawley, Russ Isaacs, and Kurt Tippmann. All have lent stability to the program. When looking at Wayne, Northrop, South Side, and North Side, that coaching tree is a broken stick in comparison. No stability, bad coaching for the most part, and undisciplined play. There has been talent at those schools, but not leadership at those schools. Some of the private schools, Dwenger and Luers, have had great coaching as well, hence their success

IHSAA is whatever they see fit to suit THEIR purpose, never forget that

Damn, I knew I had too many beers today….🍺🍺🍺

Everything in the North in 2A starts with Luers. Until someone beats Luers in 2A, they are the team to beat

100% with you on this

Here are some thoughts: 1. I have witnessed too many kids to even count that have transferred from one school to another without having to sit out a year. I have seen everything from this school doesn’t have the specialty class I like, to kids supposedly being bullied with zero evidence of any bullying, to parents literally moving across the street to be in another school district, to parents renting an apartment in a school district just to say they lived there when they didn’t. 2. When does the school have the students best interests in mind when deciding to try and fight a transfer? I have seen where some kids are allowed to transfer without penalty and some where the school fought tooth and nail to try and make the kid sit out. It seems when the parents have money and threaten lawsuits and court, the school caves in 3. Finally, why is it that schools fight over a supposed athletic transfer but not over an academic transfer? At the the end of the day, kids need to put themselves in the best possible light to further themselves to go to college for as cheaply as possible, whether it’s thru sports, academics, or financial aid Since I graduated in the 80’s, the landscape is night and day different now. I was a hardliner on this topic until a few years ago and have softened my stance on kids transferring schools. I still get mad when kids take major advantage of the system and lie about why they want to transfer. I don’t know, need some more beers in me to clear my head….🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Damnit Rodney, you are going to upset all the Karens on this site!!! Also, you forgot the biggest rule of all, always bet against Merrillville when they have at least 45 D1 players!!!

I get it, but when you go to Snider High School, it does not say Fort Wayne Snider at the entrance.

They need to drink more beer, that will solve their differences…🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

To be fair, It is not Fort Wayne Wayne, it is just Wayne. Example, it is not Fort Wayne Snider or Fort Wayne Luers or Fort Wayne Dwenger either

Depends how many beers you have had…🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

Agree 100%. East Noble and Warsaw do nothing for Snider in terms of preparation for a state title run. In my opinion, beating Warren the way they did last year was the impetus to a state title.

Ok, maybe Decatur Central is the best in the South next year, but I have to be honest and say I was not impressed with them when they played Snider, especially offensively. Defensively, they were good, but 3 plays into the Snider game, I knew they weren’t scoring an offensive touchdown. Valpo, Mishawaka, Warsaw, and Merrillville will be all good out of the North

Ok, I think I got my blood alcohol level down to a .015 which means I am only double the legally drunk level. I still don’t have a totally coherent thought, but Hell, I feel like I fit in around here now… So, it seems my analogy of right wingers was a bit off. I should have just went with the first analogy that popped into my head at the time when I was on my 7th double captain and coke. Of course, I’ll be damned since my lack of current sobriety will allow me to recall whatever the first analogy was. Anyways, for now I will just say the old cronies don’t know what the bleep bleep 🤬 🤬they are doing!!! Carry on…

I seem to rattle enough cages when I am halfway sober, really don’t want to get myself censored or banned with right wing or left wing comments… That damn turkey has no wings now!!!
