The original question was who the highest draft picks from Indiana were.

@Wink58 Thank you for starting the topic.....I pinned it so we can keep it to one topic to cover the season....also, hope you don't mind, I changed the heading.

We did.....our youngest sister still has the metal box it was put in if we were not home. We used to love riding through the neighborhood on the truck as well. It was cool too, to scoop the cream from around the top of the bottle.

Did you see the Bloom County characters helped Hobbes find Calvin a couple weeks ago? Great stuff.

I give Lou's the edge due to the lighter and thinner crust. I like Giordano's but feel there are times I may lose a tooth or two biting into it. 😄

Yep...no problem with your post....someone else posted and it is now hidden.

The following teams have an opening Week 1 According to Harrell’s schedule Rock Creek Oldenberg Maconaquah Jeffersonville Elwood Anderson Prep….first 4 weeks are open

We went through this last season and had way too many topics locked. Keep your feelings about the virus itself, or how quarantines are handled off this page. The topic is what games have been canceled. Stick to the topic please. If you want to write about the politics of it, @Muda69 has an OOB club. Feel free to join that and have at it.

While it is carry out only, Lou Malnati’s is THE best deep dish pizza ever…….evvvvverrrrrrr

Got to watch the game against the Texans. If you have an android box or amazon firestick, download the BeastTV app. There is a subscription fee, but it is not even as much as one month of cable for most people. But you get local channels from all around the country. Jordan Love looked good. During an in game interview Rodgers said what you look for is footwork. Love adjusts well in the pocket, and he throws a great ball on target. Great to see so may people in Lambeau tonight....72,000. The battle for the number 3 back will be interesting to see play out. While a number of starters did not dress, they struggled to run the ball, and could not stop the run.

Sometimes it does take a lot of typing to say simply….this really is about the types of kids that do NOT attend non public schools. I agree that it is that point that is often ignored.

I agree with you about the bump up. But I disagree with your conclusion about the SF. We do see teams advance farther. We do see more teams competing against teams who basically have the same legitimate pool of students to draw from. Yes, the four year cycle was the initial IHSAA proposal. I too feel that would be a better use of the SF.

While it may be true that some schools are impacted by earlier classes of kids who excel, the fact is the entire enrollment based classification system does that. Every member school/team in the IHSAA is impacted by previous classes of students. Instead of just looking at a class of a couple of stud athletes impacting a program, look at the opposite end. There are a large number of schools that have students who cannot participate die to physical and/or mental health issues. In our building, that is about 8% of the population. Then there is unfortunately the population of kids who do nothing. They show up half the time, contribute little to nothing to the school, yet still count against a program. There are a number of schools across the State that feel that impact yearly. So, yeah, a program might bump up due to the success of an exceptional class. But the bump up is only for a two year cycle. While I don’t have the info in front of me, my impression is that most schools that are impacted by the SF seem to have sustained success to at least stay one class above where their enrollment would place them.

Really hope he figures things out, in life if not on the field.

I LOVE the movie, and thought MLB did a phenomenal job with this. The setting was perfect. I think it was on par with hockey doing their outdoor games. It's unique...fans love it and the players look forward to it as well.

A point to clarify, at least here in Northeast Indiana, I don't know of any schools that remained completely in person throughout the pandemic. I would add to that the number of covid cases among students was higher in wealthier schools private and public, than they were in urban or rural schools. I am not drawing any conclusions, but felt that info was important to note.

Nice pickup https://indiana.rivals.com/news/indiana-announces-addition-of-transfer-db-jonathan-haynes?fbclid=IwAR0rda1LJm-wG4_xEgL_60m7QYlYvCgp_VE40krLYz6MYNgXYQdS4nV7WZ4

New topic….for programs that may not get enough posts, comments, or attention to be in their own topic. I have seen a couple of these guest speakers talking to the kids on the Alabama football team. Kudos to Coach Saban for bringing some special people in to talk to his teams. Even though I am not much of an NBA fan, I do love the show on TNT with Ernie and the crew. Take some time if you have not yet, and look up Ernie Johnson. He is an inspiring individual. But this story his shares takes that to a whole new level.

The purple for parents group is a group of fundamentalist christians who want to drastically alter what is taught in public schools, and make the claim that SEL is a way to teach CRT....which both equate to teaching marxism. The parents have a facebook page where they post a lot of stuff. Rokita appeared with them in Kosciusko County, as this article states. He was at their meeting in Wabash as well. There is video of him being there on their page. He was scheduled to be at the meeting held in New Haven....not sure if he showed up there. I believe he was at a meeting in Brownsburg with them as well. He seems to have avoided them in Fishers and Carmel. http://www.inkfreenews.com/2021/07/09/rokita-claims-critical-race-theory-part-of-social-emotional-learning-draft/

He has been parading around the State with a group of crazies who are making the same claims about all K-12 schools, mostly public schools, but they include private schools as well.

Along the lines of the Tulsa Hurricanes lol....sorry...Tulsa GOLDEN Hurricanes.

Someone from this conference….feel free to start a 2021 conference topic. 73 pages is pretty impressive though. 😁

Unis for the game against Wiscy Subtle, which is good.

One of THE best story tellers

I never followed the game, but in college at IUPUI (the oldest school of Physical Education in the Country), I took a course in it to really learn how to teach it. The instructor was Walt Leinert (the 1952 US Men’s Olympic Gymnastics Coach). He was THE best at breaking skills down into segments. It was a game I picked up quickly. I played a lot of intramural ball throughout my college days, and have enjoyed the game since then.
