I am fine with them hiring Ryan though. 🙂

He was DEFINITELY lobbying for that job. I am not sure his style is fit for today's game though. His style really was not fit for the game when he was a head coach. I do not believe he has the resume to get another job. I have always thought that he and his twin brother liked to make things about themselves.

Tough road win....special teams continue to be an issue. A win is a win at this point. It is fun watching all the bouncing around in the AFC playoff picture.

Off to a perfect start with my bowl picks so far this year......0-3 🤣 Watched a good part of the WKU game and Zappe was slinging the ball all over the field.

Bluffton High School has an immediate opening for a High School Social Studies teacher. Coaching positions at all levels available. If you have any questions reach out to Head Coach Brent Kunkel, bkunkel@bhmsd.org

Munster High School Football has a Varsity assistant and a head freshmen coach openings. Teaching positions are unknown at this time. Please contact Head Coach Jason Grunewald at jfgrunewald@munster.us if interested.

This just rubs me the wrong way “We did our homework on him (Bell), so we wanted to know, has he seen my son play, what were his thoughts, how he thought he would use my son, what were his plans to develop (Donaven) McCulley, and probably most importantly my son wanted to get to know him and try to build a relationship with him,” Cooper, Sr. said.

That is a great point. I had not even considered that. And for the same reason, the conference was ok with Rutgers and Maryland being added to the conference AND put in the East.

I would be curious about stats regarding Dabo's program. How many of his players have entered the portal? How many players has he had transfer to Clemson from the portal? And finally, what is Clemson's graduation rate?

Agree 100%

EXACTLY....the point I have often made about the IU schedule.

Never fails.....it's the kiss of death I still want to see a tell all type of documentary on those Florida teams. As much as he was able to not make headlines at OSU; there is no question that more suspect things were going on in Gainesville.

I don’t have the time at the moment, but I am curious to see what the numbers from last season would say IF the divisions had been North and South like Tempt suggests here. I know some of the matchups did not happen based on the schedule, but maybe look over the course of a 2-3 years. But it does appear the recruiting numbers balance out more. Perspective can be a funny thing. If you root for a team in the East, you likely have no issues in the realignment. If you root for a team in the West, it gets a lot tougher. As an IU fan, injuries and depth hurt them. But the way the schedule set up, it was a bear of a schedule. Penn State, Michigan State, ohio state, and Michigan is a really tough stretch to get through. I will add it is made even more difficult when each of those teams is a factor in the National rankings and potential playoff spot at the time IU played each of them. I will add, there is the eye test. The East was just better. osu has been a consistent contender, and Michigan was just that much better this season.

North Newton has coaching openings at the Varsity level. Several teaching openings available. If interested email Coach Rouch at srouch@nn.k12.in.us

Sad to see him leave the State, and REALLY sad, but nowhere near as much as @temptation to see him go to osu 🤣. Staying out of the Mr. Football conversation completely. Best of luck to Mr. Curry.

I agree about the ripple effect.....I think that effect will be much bigger if Carmel ends up being independent. It may motivate other schools to do the same. It may be more work in the short term for AD's, but could pay off in many ways down the road.

This is great...seeing the guy on TV during the game was great

Robert Irsay did the same thing when the Colts were in Baltimore.

Which goob? there are PLENTY of goobs hangin around here. 🤣Oh, and welcome back

I would add that a move on this level is something that was needed, something to stir the pot. I am excited to see how all this plays out.

Possible fallout from this…….in other conferences where a couple teams at the top seem to dominate in terms of ALL sports, may decide to go independent as well. I think the possibility of Carmel just being independent is a very real one. It allows greater flexibility in scheduling……think beyond just football though folks.

What if.......Carmel does not join a conference and stays independent? Or; maybe people in the SAC can confirm; but I believe Carroll and Homestead are only in the conference for football and basketball. The other sports are independent. I can see something like that happening for Carmel and CG.
