Recap of Saturday's game. https://twitter.com/packers/status/1351696368272695296?s=20

Feel free to post on the main forum as well....especially about the opportunities for women who may be interested in pursuing this.

@Muda69 a little more info: NHHS: Eligible for Free Lunch 55% Eligible for Reduced Lunch 11% East Noble HS Eligible for Free Lunch 38% Eligible for Reduced Lunch 9% Leo HS: Eligible for Free Lunch 12% Eligible for Reduced Lunch 4% Other stats for Leo based on above info: HS enrollment is about the same as NHHS Grades: 7-12 Students: 1,355 students Student:Teacher Ratio: 21:1 Minority Enrollment: 11% Graduation Rate: 92% (Top 50% in IN) Overall Testing Rank: Top 30% Math Proficiency: 60% (Top 50%) Reading Proficiency: 84% (Top 5%) Diversity Score: 0.21 (Btm 50%)

Here is some info for both I would add that East Noble is a one high school community. There are 5 high schools in EACS. New Haven......our actual ADM number was just over 900 students though, but the other percentages are the same. Grades: 9-12 Students: 1,092 students Student:Teacher Ratio: 17:1 Minority Enrollment: 50% Graduation Rate: 84% (Btm 50% in IN) Overall Testing Rank: Bottom 50% Math Proficiency: 21% (Btm 50%) Reading Proficiency: 39% (Btm 50%) Diversity Score: 0.66 (Top 20%) East Noble: *** minus the 8th grade, I think they are at 1100 students this year. Grades: 8-12 Students: 1,222 students Student:Teacher Ratio: 17:1 Minority Enrollment: 10% Graduation Rate: 94% (Top 50% in IN) Overall Testing Rank: Bottom 50% Math Proficiency: 53% (Btm 50%) Reading Proficiency: 60% (Btm 50%) Diversity Score: 0.19 (Btm 50%)

so now you only want stats to back up what I said.....I told you about the size of our linemen, but that was an excuse to you, even though players' height and weight are stats, as is comparing them to opponents. Should we look at scholarship athletes in a program? We have TWO that have been offered by St. Francis. That is it; no other offers, and really no looks. Last year; no offers...had a couple that could have played, but chose to not go to college. The year before, again no offers. One would think if the program had the talent you say it does, we would have more offers. Want tto compare that to the other programs in the conference that are regularly at the top of the conference? How many of your rings were at New Haven? Like that has anything to do with anything here. You brought up rings as if they are some sort of credential to somehow make your opinion of the program superior to mine. You have defended nothing...Not going to argue that the program has been middle of the pack in recent times; and I have even said we lost games we should not have. But you had actually claimed we were somehow loaded with talent, and should be competing for titles and that it is embarrassing that we have not. The fact is that there are things that go on in a program from day to day that I will not get into on here, that someone as far away from it like you just cannot see. But somehow, you know better than me...lol

Still one of my greatest memories was the last game I saw at Lambeau. It was Favre's last win as a Packer against the Seahawks. It started out rough as two turnovers lead to two quick TD's by Seattle. But the rest of the day belonged to Favre. But driving snow throughout; great tailgate. I also took an older brother to his first game at Lambeau....great memories.

lol Look, you want to take shots at a program, fine. Apparently you were not prepared to be called on your BS. As far as a personal shot....just matched yours is all, snowflake. two blue rings here...and 27 years of coaching...so yeah.....as if that gives you the credentials to talk about a program you have never been a part of and don't even follow now.

Ohhhh, I will admit it. What the Bucs did to Green Bay during the season is still fresh in mind. That said, I am fine with where Green Bay is sitting right now. Clearly, the two best teams over the course of this season in the NFC are playing for a title. Sure they both had bumps along the way; it is pro football, that happens. I would add, I would be even more nervous if the game were in Tampa. Even though they are pros, most of the guy in Tampa have not played in weather like this yet.....and watching the former players on the talk shows......it is definitely a factor when it gets to the point it is supposed to in Green Bay.

From someone with NO credentials and about as bright as said brick wall apparently, to speak about such a thing...tell me one thing that was not accurate there?

I have not made one excuse........as far as South side, like I said, every program has had moments they did not show up to play. That was just one of those games.....no excuses. EN was runner up in 18, by the way. As I said, they are just consistently bigger and better than us most years. They do have some other advantages as far as their schedule goes that give them an edge; especially in years we have been in the hunt for a conference title. Bottom line is the talent level has been nowhere near what you have stated, and we have been consistently smaller up front the last few years than every opponent.

I have not disagreed that we have struggled to compete, but your notion that we should be competing for conference titles is a criticism of the kids and/or the coaches, and an inaccurate one. And the fact is that we simply have not competed. You may want to check conference titles. It has ben more than one in the time you mention, including an NE8 Title; so yeah, I will question your credentials. East Noble? They were a State runner up 2 seasons ago; who did compete with them before the playoffs or in the conference? How about you look at the schedule layout for the conference. East Noble sees every week of film from us because they follow us most of the season. They also have a week off for Fall break. They are a bigger program; especially up front, and in many cases by about 50 lbs a person. And that is year in and year out. But someone with the detailed criticisms you have SHOULD be able to see that.....hmmmm. It really is not a matter of being content. We work with what comes to us. What good football programs are you thinking of with the comment?

And my comment really was directed to things that have more to do with the situation at NHHS than just on the field. As far as the roster goes, we were outweighed across the line every week, except in one position. Athletes? Our DB's were an average of 5'8". Undisciplined??? @Yuccaguy has some thoughts along with me on that one, being that we are the only urban program in the conference. We struggle to finish at the top every year??? You mean outside of the year we were a conference champ??? lol...again, what exactly are your credentials?

Actually, nothing you stated was fact. I will take my perspective over yours any day. What exactly are your credentials to make such an assessment of the program? I have actually stated many things in the follow up as to why you are wrong.

I thought at the time that Sampson was a great hire. What is crazy is that everything he did to get in trouble is now allowed. I agree with your assessment of Crean; great recruiter, but ok as a coach. When Miller did come in though, there were off court issues he had to deal with from a few of Crean's players.

All of those things are factors. There are still others that were exaggerated and/or ignored that I will not get into here.

It does seem as though NFL officials let some things go. In this case, Adams advantage gained was from running across the formation. Before he made any move up field (the move in question), it is clear that he had Ramsey beat. As far as my first comment, how often do we see offensive tackles make a move that appears to be before the snap? It is the outside leg when they take a kick step back. As Bob said on the first one, I guess it would take watching the film to see when the center actually started any movement for the snap and when the questionable moves occurred.

Maybe you see something from a distance, but if you are not a part of the program on a day in and day out basis, you cannot much such claims...This has to be the worst assessment of a program I have seen on here in a long time. I am not saying it because I am a part of it. I am saying it from the perspective that I have been a part of more than successful program, this one included. Are there games we should have won? Yes.....every program has those. It still does not make your assessment any closer to being accurate. I am not going to get into any details about the program, but I know this.....the program has had great coaches in place. We have had great coaches for a long time. The coaches know the game; are willing to learn, care about and build relationships with the kids; all things that are needed in successful programs.

God in his Judge Chamberlain Haller voice: “that is a lucid, intelligent, well thought out objection........overruled.” 😂

Cool moment after last night’s game with Brees, his kids and Brady https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/01/bucs-saints-tom-brady-td-pass-to-drew-brees-son?fbclid=IwAR0VtJ2aa6fCjen5-2sYR-0Pm_UPODGkZhO2j32aa1CyAVaKBLVejgHbDUg

Go Pack Go

The feeling is that the Bucs have really controlled the game. Brees looks good at times and not so good on several throws, but Tampa is doing a good job of being in his face when he throws. The Bucs o line is taking this over. The Tampa run game is really what I was expecting to see from Kamara and the Saints.

Methinks a memo was sent to New Orleans about emphasizing the targeting plays. Bad call

The Browns had chances.....ballsy call on 4th down for the Chiefs. Genius if you make it, get raked over the coals if you don't. I like the mindset of having your players make plays....put it in their hands.

I have been impressed with several throws and catches by Mayfield and his receivers. Mahomes out with a concussion may not matter in this one, even though it is a one score game as I type; but how will it impact them next week?
