My inside source tells me the buyout is all the Terra Villa pasta and garlic bread he can eat for the remainder of the contract length and 10 meatball calzones from Gerries. @Donnie Baker the best pizza in west central Indiana is Overpass Pizza. The thin crust is ambrosia. We should eat there sometime!

Make your program the best around. Make your feeder system the best around. The transfer players will show up without the coaches ever speaking to them prior to enrollment.

Excuses are the opium of the weak and entitled. Does an enrollment of 213 present some challenges? Sure. Does anyone feel sorry for NV? No. Doesn’t matter, work harder.

It blows my mind how quickly 11 years can pass, when one week of football work, against a worthy opponent, can feel like an eternity, just wishing the seconds away to reach that 7:00 kickoff. One of the greatest blessings in my life happened when I ended up in the WRC. This little athletic conference binds our blue collar, hard-scrabble towns together. It’s a beautiful region of the Midwest that is Americana as apple pie. The football that’s played here is tough and physical, brought to you by long family lines, and friendly (at times hateful) rivalries. As it should be. I can’t image a more beautiful setting for the Fall than the banks of the Wabash River in West-Central Indiana. Apple Festival, Little Italy, Hill Climb, Covered Bridge. Stroll through any of these and see 4 letter jackets of different WRC schools. What we share is special. You can’t find a better place to raise your kids. I have no idea how it will turn out, but I’m very thankful to be a part of another high school football season in the WRC.

I knew Coach Kling back in the old days at USI. Great coach and also a great dude! No doubt success is on the horizon in Mitchell

I would be remiss if I didn’t add that Craig James killed 5 hookers. Long live the Pirate

As am I dude. Hard for me to quantify the positive impact that studying him has had on my career. Not just the Air Raid offense, but his general approach to leading a team. Shoot, his general approach to life. He made it ok to be “different” as a football coach. I really admired him and kind of had the pipe dream that I might meet him some day. Mike’s Pirate School forever, Texas A&M pretend soldiers never

Best 1A team I’ve seen in my days. Jack Kiser gave me a concussion in the state finals that year and I didn’t even play in the game.

Thank you Sir!

Hey Donnie! I keep getting advertisements on my phone for Brother’s pizza in Crawfordsville. Have you been there? Thinking about giving it a try.

Don’t understand the big deal. IHSAA has established the point in a game when mercy is appropriate. If the clock’s not running, pedal to the metal. Once the running clock starts, mercy should be shown by the winning team. It’s pretty black and white to me.

I appreciate the IFCA and IHSAA working together to establish our mercy rule in conjunction with the new quarter rule. Those rule changes have helped me, as a coach, manage games more effectively. No hard feelings if I onside kick in the third quarter, up 28, and then dial up a TD pass to hopefully start the running clock. No hard feelings if the other team plays their starters, pedal to the metal, and scores 60 in the first half. It makes game decisions from both coaching staffs feel impersonal. Business is business.

1A is better when the Panthers a part of it. Welcome back Pioneer!

Huge loss for all who knew Dan. Great coach and an even better man. I’m very fortunate to have known him. This one hurts.

Overpass is the best pizza in the WRC hands down. It’s not close. I keep my ratings to WRC Pizza King establishments because I love the franchise and tradition. If you’re looking for a good slice, check out Manolo’s on campus at U of I. Good pizza, but the empanadas are top shelf. The dessert empanadas are a must.
