  1. Just learned during the game yesterday that Dickert is from the same small town my grandparents moved to when they moved back to Wisconsin from Lemont, IL. We spent a lot of Summers as kids in Oconto, WI. I like Dickert too. Lord knows what happens with them next season as far as a conference goes. Two other names come to my mind….Mike Hart is one. He has been in the program at IU as a coach, so he has some idea of what needs to happen. Brian Hartline is the other. Both know what it takes to run a top 5 program. I would add there is one to avoid….Tommy Rees. Just never thought a lot of him as an OC, a job he would likely maintain if he were a head coach somewhere. And I am sure he is going to be actively looking. IU also needs to fire the asshat who included the huge buyout as part of the contract extension Allen got after the 2020 season.
  2. A friend posted a video from that corner of the end zone. It was clearly a TD, but the official is looking at feet when he signals incomplete.
  3. From The Land of Cheese. My younger sister works for Lake Geneva Schools (represented by Badger HS). Her son and daughter are recent grads from Badger She called right after the game to ask how many teams go for 2 points late in the game after a TD to go for the win. I told her it was more common that she thinks. Waunakee has 7 titles since 1999, and this was Badger's 1st trip.
  4. And to think I caught crap when I said an early season win with this group was not really a surprise 😄 Not you, but looked for a recent comment to connect with.
  5. Great story from Saturday https://www.southbendtribune.com/videos/sports/college/football/2023/11/18/sam-hartman-tells-the-incredible-story-of-the-flying-marshmallow-senior-day-notre-dame-football/71641033007/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_South_Bend_Tribune&fbclid=IwAR1De2tMk3uZYfHfdt0Uf8CtRdOHtb1odO5C2_sVz0BrySebQAgyg0UsoAo
  6. I agree as far as the assumptions go about controlling enrollment. The same can be said when the r word is thrown out when the term people are actually referring to is undue influence. And the difference between recruiting and undue influence is pretty significant.
  7. Right now, someone is at least thinking this....and someone will step up to this challenge.
  8. Sorry.....every single one does Every single one has an admission/application process. That limits/restricts enrollment Even with tuition assistance and vouchers, the cost to attend limits/restricts enrollment. 99.9% of them have little to no special needs population, and even the ones that do have very limited resources and have to turn away certain student they know they would not be able to serve effectively. That limits/restricts enrollment. Every one of them has a performance and behavior standard in place that would not be allowed in public schools. That limits/restricts enrollment. The size of most buildings, including the number of classrooms and the number of seats available limits/restricts enrollment. These are not criticisms, but they are all realities.
  9. You are new here, aren’t you? 🤣 What’s the line from that commercial? Oh yeah That’s not how this works at all 🤣
  10. While some has been self inflicted, other societal issues are put on schools that they were never meant to handle are a HUGE problem. You also cannot ignore what politicians in the Statehouse are doing that negatively impact schools that serve predominantly poor communities.
  11. If you are not following this guy on the Xitters, you should….he is a true American patriot
  12. Look at you people getting this topic back on the rails.. lol lmao smdh
  13. Or instead of “yes”, it could be “you” Not calling you one mind you; although @Lysander may have a different opinion 🤣🤣😂 just kidding. I love when topics get derailed 😂
  14. Wise decision……this is not the place for it. Report it though to the AD. The challenge in a number of situations has been getting AD’s or other school/district administrators to follow through with reporting.
  15. And it is now in ink. https://247sports.com/college/indiana/Article/five-star-forward-liam-mcneeley-officially-signs-national-letter-of-intent-indiana-iu-hoosiers-basketball-219841081/?fbclid=IwAR37VnBdiM90rXVCEr_5jEQOxgxtkFSdOsqykmpUHSGhGcZwOwSNgAzB9l8_aem_AT9NW1dnfARAE09T1bokSHj6c50ptooopXaAjKFQIeH2P3cfHYmF2u6LM4QcB6_Yxkc
  16. I remember that well. I was at Creston JR. HS at the time. We played against him (freshman team) the one week....and he threw all over the yard against us. And then he ends up starting for the Izods (obscure 80's reference). I want to even say we played Southport on a Monday and that Friday he was up North.
  17. NFL and NCAA goalposts are 18 feet, 6 inches wide. High school goalposts are 23 feet, 4 inches wide.
  18. From past experience, I hated playing games at UIndy…..nothing against the school, but the college uprights and hashmarks could make a difference, especially with a team maybe needing a FG to tie or win. I have not been there in a long time but does UIndy still have really small visitors’ bleachers? The 07 Semi State game there was a nightmare because of that; for a number of reasons.
