I had this as well at Pioneer. When I attended Winamac for a year, every Friday was stuffed crust pizza day.

I've heard that Andrean is big up front and very fast all over the field. Should be a great game.

What were some of the upsets that happened in round 2? 6A had a couple for sure.

North Judson 16 Winamac 0 FINAL Harrell erroneously has the score posted as 60-0.

Who is White? You and I couldn't be in more disagreement right now. Why would an NFL team hire a 2-4 win coach?

Brohm signed two OL grad transfers in his first year, one from Rhode Island and another from Northern Illinois. Both were solid starters and sniffed the NFL as UDFA. He then signed another OL from Western Kentucky last year and he was a starter as well. Unfortunately they all graduated and he struck out on securing any OL grad transfers this past year. He had one, but that player changed his mind at the last second. Purdue also had a projected starting OL retire during the offseason. Brohm knows that his OL was going to struggle and he tried to correct it. He tried and failed. Don't forget to invite me to your team building seminar. Also, during Brohm's first year he brought in approximately 10 grad transfers and JUCOs.

You're wrong. Brohm didnt recruit these seniors, and only recruited a handful of the juniors. THESE ARE HAZELL RECRUITS. Brohm has actually signed quite a few promising OL. The only problem is that THEY'RE ALL FRESHMEN. Stop with your hot takes on a team that you know barely anything about and go do some research.

It was a step up from Kent State and any of us would have done the same thing. I'm just not big on talking bad about Hazell because he was classy and he actually tried. He's not a terrible football coach, which is evident because he was immediately hired as an NFL position coach. I believe that he was set up for failure from the start and his style wasn't s good fit for the program. Programs like Purdue often have success with gimmicky pass heavy offenses or option type offenses. Unfortunately Hazell was from the Meyer coaching tree and tried to play like OSU at Purdue.

Hazell wasn't as bad as his record was because AD Morgan Burke had the program on a shoestring budget. He had made the comment before that football was a "$5 million" opportunity. He chased off Tiller and didn't give Hope much help either. Purdue had horribly outdated facilities and didn't even have stadium lights for night games. They were literally decades behind the times. They also had probably the lowest assistant coach budget in the conference and hired a former Nebraska LB coach who was an assistant high school coach to be the DC at one point. I'm not saying that Hazell would have been Bill Belichick or anything, but he would have st least won a few more games. Hazell wasn't allowed to bring his own staff from Kent State and was forced to use Shoop as his OC, probably the worst OC in the history of the Chicago Bears. I'm also going to guess that his recruiting budget didn't amount to much, either.

Yep. Pioneer had a lead in the 4th quarter but let it slip away.

You're right. The Kiser brothers lost to LCC in their last game together.

Technically they weren't "Kiserless" because Jack's older brother Sam was a senior QB.

Yep. I was disappointed with the draw because I was excited to see Pioneer potentially play some of their other area sectional opponents, like Rochester, Wabash, or Delphi. Instead they lost in round 1 to a yearly opponent.

I also know of a team that lost in the sectional when they were in 2A.

LaVille beating Cass will be a MAJOR upset if it happens.

QB depth is really thin right now actually with Sindelar hurt. Our actual backup is walk-on O'Connell and the 3rd stringer is either walk-on Carrollo or true freshman Piferi. Next year they'll be in better shape as far as bodies, but it will be interesting to see if Brohm gets a transfer QB as an emergency backup type.

Nick Sipe has decided to call it quits due to injuries. This opens up another schollie for 2020. Purdue is now receiving a visit from 4* dual threat Texas QB Malik Hornsby on Friday.

Agree to disagree. Cass dominated the trenches and that's also where Pioneer's injuries occurred

It was definitely not the only reason. I personally think that it was the biggest factor in week 1. Cass definitely has more momentum entering this game and should be favored.

Well aware. I was defending the fact that he said Pioneer was screwed. Injuries were the reason that Pioneer lost, plain and simple.

Pioneer lost the first meeting by six. They were down an OL/DL starter for the entire game, due to injury, and another OL/DL, senior Beckley, was hurt early in the game and came back for the last quarter or so. After he came back, Pioneer played well but ran out of time. Pioneer had also lost a third lineman for the season in week one during practice.

I haven't seen any of that talk, although they are talented enough to do it. LCC was too.

How so?

The Panthers are chomping at the bit for payback! This is gonna be a good one!
