Because, from a player's perspective, that's a long time to have to ponder on and wait for a big game like that. Also, and probably most important, it allows for less games to be played the first week of the tournament so that there's no/less threat of a referee shortage.

I get that a glad they moved it like it better where it is now

For selfish reasons I would love to see a bye week imposed on the exact week that most schools are on fall break.  Make it a week of no contact between coaches and players and that would even be better.  Finally, I could go on one of the fabulous fall vacations that I keep hearing about.  Everyone tells me that somehow the fall break vacations are superior to spring break vacations.  I'm guessing this is just a ploy to p*ss me off, but I would like to find out.

not sure I would make it a total no contact week  I have had this thought for a few years that this should be the case

I also feel that 6 and 5 should have a 10 game and the best way to do that is move week one up a week by doing this 5 and 6 can add their game the other smaller schools can add their bye week.   This way all would get a bye and all get to play  or could play in they get to state 15 games

For those of us who focus primarily on big school football, this bye week is a real drag.

It seems to just suck the life out of the season.  You have a lot of meaningless Week 9 games, then you take a week off, and then try to come back performing at peak level.  

It just doesn't happen.  Teams lose their sharp edge with too much time off.  Maybe there should be a week off between sectional and regional or regional and semi state.  There are so many early round blowouts that teams dont need 2 or 3 weeks to prepare.

Thoughts?

 

 

I do miss not have a game this week but I am happy the players can get heath for playoffs.  The first and maybe second year that 6 a only had 32 teams the bye was the week before state finals.  not sure why ihsaa moved it.

For all of those who remember Max Norris, this is kind of shaping up for Carson like it did Max. Puts on a crazy amount of muscle, and then hurts themselves later on. Although Max did it in Semi-State, I just thought that Carson’s situation reminded me of it.

Max Norris was not a very big kid and then put on a lot of muscle and weight his senior year.  I have seen Carson grow up he has always been a big kid

I think East can keep it close for maybe a half then CG will pull away by the end.  I think they will win by three TDS

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?  If you attended the freshman game, could you relay the score please.

Cg 26 C 6. Also CG won the Jc game i had seen the score but do not remember at this moment

Cathedral overcame 143 yards in accepted penalties to win 14-9.  The Irish are not an undisciplined football team, and this was by far the most penalty yards they have accrued this season.  Probably another 50 yards or so were declined by Center Grove.  There may have been more personal fouls called in this game, most all on the Irish, than most basketball games.

The game is now being shown on a delayed basis on WHMB, channel 40, in Indianapolis.  I would advise anyone who wears officials stripes to skip this one.

More later.

after going to the freshman game and standing right next the field i agree that are disciplined in the way they play, but they are undisciplined in they way they act at times and run their mouths.  They got 3 PF calls on them 2 for something they said and could have got a few more and one was a very cheap shot.  Yes I know they are young men and  some times stuff happens but after watching the game Friday might and today their might be a problem

from what I could see from the webcast on the PF the first one that was off setting was the right call not sure about it being off setting but their was something there,

the other ones form  what I had  seen and in my opinion was not any thing that would warrant  a call  unless it something that  was said.  I did the chains of the freshman

games for CG a few time this year and one thing I would do was talk to the side judge.  I did to it to try and learn how they decide to make calls and one thing I learned is  that there is

a push to clean up the cursing and the use of a few keys word will bring a flag quick

Their was a lot of bad calls both ways so I am glad it still was a good game

 The bad thing about this game being  played during fall break is you have a lot  of people that might go the game, are out of town

Id like to see this game moved to Week 1, with some type of media major event sponsored by The GID to kickoff the season.  I would be happy to be master of ceremonies, conducting interviews with coaches and ADs and players before the game.  

This will bring together the top high school football media site, the top public and private programs in one of the very best facilities in the state, to kick off the 2020 season.

Could be a lot of fun.

 

 

You already have premier match up with CG and Warren week one and I would have to think CG and Warren are not willing to give that week up

That's called life. Every other state in the country has that part figured out.

That  makes all the other states right.  If all the other state when to one time zone would you agree just because they did it.  Just because every else does it does not make it right.

Just take each regional and seed the top 8 teams. Have the coaches in the regional vote on the top teams and put them accordingly.  The other 8 are blind draw where nobody gets their feelings hurt that they are 16th 

play the sectionals and regionals the same with home field determined the same way as it is now.

 

 

 

I like the idea of doing a way with Sectionals for a while now having never thought of doing it like that but I like it,  but one of my big things is let the doing away with the neutral field idea.  We all know it is not so why not let the home team treat it like all the other game.  I Love Friday Night Lights and with  this whole neutral field thing you lose a little bit of that.  So that is why I would like to let the better team that earned it in the regular season,  be the home team and treat it as such.

As far as ever one getting in and other state do not do it and we are the only one. well what is wrong with that Basketball has been all in for close to a 100 years and no is say we need to change it.  I like the all in format.  Lets say you have a lot of injury's the start of the year and have to play some young kids and lose a the first 3  or 4 games  but by the end of the regular session you are one of the best team in the state and  you get some key guys back and the younger kids take off but you  do not make the playoffs due to the fact you had kids hurt in the regular season.  I know some will say that is football and the way it goes and that is true,  but when these kids get only 4 years of high school let them enjoy it and have a chance ever  year to win it all because we know it how fast the 4 years go by and you only get to being in high school once!!

I live in Johnson County I would have to agree with on this one

I have had a lot  thoughts  with the Blind draw and seeding. what I found I like the best is to  keep the blind draw. Every one getting in is what made Basketball great for all these years and if it works their it works here.  The few things I would likes to see change is not so much seed the first round but to let the better teams be home and let them treat like a normal home game their is nothing like Friday night lights and something is lost when u getting the playoff.  This would put more meaning to thereagler seasion , Also would  like to see in 5 and 6 do away with sectionals with only  4 teams it make it same teams ever year for the most part it you go to start to regional then you have 8 teams and it would make it very interesting

The players didn't want to play for the coach at the time at LN. Good coach but they didn't mesh. They had 50 players that last year he was there. When Mallory took over he had 120 players in the weight room that Spring. There were football players who wanted to play football. They just didn't want to play for the previous coach. There may have been some defection to LC for some players, but I doubt it was more than a handful. Tre Roberson lived in a neighborhood his senior year that feeds into LN based on the garage sign I saw in my neighborhood. No idea if he lived somewhere else to start HS and stayed at LC because of that.

I understand what you are saying and belive what you said is truth, just from the out side it looked a little odd and thank you clearing it up.

LC has the athletes, as demonstrated by their runner up finish in 2010 and state championship in 2012 . . . both under Jayson West.

I remember watch LN at the same time, and, if i am wrong please tell me but,  i am thinking  that LN was very very bad like getting bet by 50 and 60 points to everyone  I think in 2012 they just had around 40 kids or so on the team. so from someone one the outside when have 2 schools in one township and one is winning state and the other one has trouble with numbers for at the time a 5a something looks odd. 

Over the years Indian creek has got a fair shares of transfers from CG most times it has been after they got cut from from CG or want to be the star but not good enough to be that here.

If something else I would like  to see happens it would help,  If you was to move the start of the season up a week.  For class 1 -4 will they will add bye week and 5 and 6 will get to add a game due to the fact most of them get a bye first week of the playoffs.  This way all Class play the same amount of games

I know this has nothing to do with this week, but this is something I think would be very cool to do.  That in the future  you get the MIC and the HCC to play in a challenge week, sort of like what the ACC and Big Ten do with basketball  You could do this week 2 and have 1 threw 8 play each other or have a blind draw on what teams get to play each other,  Some might say well who gets home field,  This is one way it could be done is one year all MIC is home the next is HCC

So never forgetting the tragedy of 9/11 is being "butt hurt" about it .  Got it.

 

So you are really comparing a team loss one game to thousands of people losing their lives.  from some one that 9/11 change  my live and it change millions of people’s lives if you think that this two things are the same thing you are a special kind of Person a need to seek professional help

The one thing I would change is do not start the running clock until the 4 quarter.  Other sports that have some kind of mercy rule does not start until at least 2/3 of the game had been the played 

My other thought would be say 49 points at any time during the game or 35 in the 4th quarter to start the running clock and you can not start using the running clock during the middle of the quarter unless it is the in the 4 quarter 

I would also add since they have been run the same off. starting in 2nd grade by the time they get to high school you can spend more time work on new things. Like the spread so in a since when you play cg you have to prepare for to total different off.

Sorry could happen darn autocorrect

All conference champions should receive a top seed in the sectional and a guaranteed opening round home game.  This will give more meaning to regular season play.

What  if you have two conference championships in the same sectional

Not saying this is a bad idea just the fact this good happen 

Also if this is a crazy out there idea you all can tell me that to lol

This was done years ago when I was in school brown county need a game so we played them but we only use B team players for the extra game.  This might an idea for schools in need of a JV or freshman game to do is get a hold of bigger schools and see if they want to play as B game for them,  I would think this is a win win the school that needs a game gets one and the bigger school get a chance to have more kids play in a game

Gotta say ... interesting topic.

Let's say we started 2 weeks early, as Trojanmp52 suggests. 

Currently,  fall sports except girls golf starts Aug 5.  Got to have non-contact days and 10 practices,  according to IHSAA.

Now let's go backward from Aug. 5 by 2 weeks to fit in the IHSAA requirements. 

Takes us to July 22, 2019, for Day #1 of football. 

Trojanmp52, what is the benefit to starting Indiana HS football July 22?

The IFCA propose this?

Have you checked with any HS football coach on this one?

Are we starting ALL fall sports on July 22?

If not, that becomes a title IX issue.

Just curious.....

As always, the game is better 

from_the_sidelines007 

 

 

the more I have thought about  this I am thinking one week would be better then 2.   1-4 class can add a bye week and 5and 6 add one more game that way ever one has a total of 15 games. so that would  put the start of the season at july 29

Truthful  football has already started teams get 12 I call it pro-pads practices in the summer

their is no reason all sports have to start at the same time so I see no need to change other sports and would not see this as a title IX issue
