  1. 8 tracks huh??? 😄 This one was a "throw in" to meet the limit on my Columbia House order.
  2. Now that camps are open..... I love seeing stuff like this. I see things like this often with Allen. Class act
  3. This is such a cool tradition.
  4. On the top line, tap “Store”. You will see a drop down menu. Tap Donations.
  5. Terms used are im[portant per the IHSAA Bylaws. To clarify, the 12 practice limit is for use of helmets and shoulder pads, known as competition days, (As you said, 5 of those involving teams competing against each other)Every sport has a limit on the number of competition days they can have. Football is unique because of the helmets and shoulder pads and the contact. That said, football CAN have additional days to work as long as they are not in helmets and shoulder pads.
  6. Several things have come to mind with this. Coaches are in a tough spot. They have less than one week with the players, so building relationships with some is difficult; especially if players are from a rival program. While it may have worked for some time, I have long thought it may not be the best idea to house the teams on the same campus where there paths cross often through each day. Not sure what the practice set up is like. Do the teams practice at the same time? Are they doing one on one stuff with opposing players? Add to all of this, it was hot all week. Sure it has been hot in the past, but tempers are shorter in the heat. Maybe someone could approach Marian U and ask to house one team there while the other is at UIndy. It is unfortunate these things took place, but I also think this shows that there are limits to what can be done by coaches and officials.
  7. Extra effort is involved with the other programs. The Ohio State wrestlers had work to do to get their story out after the AD and school officials ignored them.
  8. ESPN reported about 35 minutes ago that he has been fired.....heard from a source, so nothing official yet.
  9. Best of luck Coach
  10. Nope, the IHSAA does not allowed co-ops There is an exception for individual students based on curriculum "Q. 12-8 If a student lives in the attendance area of Public School A, but Enrolls at Public School B (a School which offers innovative teaching methods and has no athletic programs involving an IHSAA Recognized Sport), can the student play football on School A’s football team? A. Yes, provided (i) Public School A accepts the student in its football program, (ii) the student, Public School A and Public School B, each inform the IHSAA of student’s participation in Public School A’s football program, (iii) there exist no apparent IHSAA rule violations and (iv) the student meets all IHSAA eligibility standards and all of Public School B’s standards. (rule 12-4)"
  11. This is a big blow to an up and coming program. Just texting some friends this is what the portal and NIL will do. Programs that are 2nd and 3rd tier programs will be minor league or developmental programs for players to improve their stock to get to top tier programs.
  12. 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position...cannot beat a team like Kentucky missing that many chances. the 7th inning was the back breaker....runners sacrificed to 2nd and 3rd; and they are left stranded.
  13. Does not say who the player is, but this does seem to be a growing problem for the league. My first thought was you let the fox in the henhouse, by signing on with these online gambling sites. As a part of every telecast now, we are told what the latest live bets are on a given game before and during the game. https://www.actionnetwork.com/legal-online-sports-betting/report-colts-player-under-investigation-for-betting-on-own-team-pervasive-wagering
  14. The ejection was petty. he was two steps off the warning track. Had he done that at home plate, ok. Even then, understand the moment. It was not taunting the other team. It had zero impact on the game.
  15. Hoosiers softball team was an at large bid in the NCAA tournament; ended up losing twice to host Tennessee, but did knock off Louisville. The baseball team is in the driver's seat in the Lexington Regional; knocked off 1 seed and 12th ranked Kentucky 5-3 yesterday. Kentucky is playing West Virginia in an elimination game. IU plays the winner later this evening. If IU wins that game, they are Regional Champs.
  16. The flaw of the enrollment only classification is there is no accounting for differences in population. While the target may be the private schools, the fact is the 1200 students in one of those buildings is nothing like the 1200 students in a public school.
  17. Was a bit worried when UVA went ahead late in the 4th, and thinking UVA had beaten them twice this season already. Nice job by the Irish to keep working.
  18. Another legend passes. The case could easily be made that he is on a shortlist of the best, toughest, and most physical players to ever put pads on. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/37685864/all-great-running-back-jim-brown-dies-87
  19. More than likely since the 300 mile limit had several aspects. Even for neutral site games, a school's location still had to be within that limit. An example; back in 2006, Cathedral played in the Herbstreit Classic. Our opponent ended up being LaSalle HS from Cincy. One of the teams in the classic was Mission Viejo HS from California. Hoover HS (Alabama) was another. The AD at the time at Cathedral was asked if we would play Mission Viejo. Since they were outside the 300 mile range, even though Cincinnati is not, we could not play them. The only possibility a game took place would be prior to the 300 mile limit being in place. I cannot find how long it has been in place.
  20. Michigan State did the same thing with schools using the Spartan helemet. But if I remember right, they charged schools $1 to continue using it. Bishop Chatard went away from it, going back first to an older version of their logo before going to something more reflective of the school itself.
  21. I understand...in fact, several high schools around the country had to not only change the name entirely from Fighting Irish to something completely different, they had to change school colors. Cathedral was given more leeway in both cases because of the history between the two schools. There were also a handful of schools around the country that were established by the Holy Cross order that were allowed similar leeway to Cathedral.
