I had one but not the other.  
 

memorial has to love the ping pong balls though lol 2 years in a row they are on the opposite side of the undefeated SIAC champ and both years that team gets beat setting memorial up for a slightly easier run. (Not a jab just think it’s neat) 

Didn’t read it as a jab.
 

Can’t control the balls. I know a few years back they had to win some tough games on the road in 32.  Either way the last time Memorial didn’t play in a sectional ship is 2015. I think.  That’s more than the luck of ping pong balls. 
 

Credit to GS kids. It’s not easy to defend yet they found a way to win 10 straight games. That’s not easy with huge target on their backs. Looks like lots returning in 23.

Interesting stat, but Memorial outruns Jasper 246 to 223, didn’t expect that 

A run TD run of 91 yards didn’t hurt.  Rode is a player.

And the biggest Final of the night:

28-27 Boonville over Reitz 👀👀👀👀

Big win for Boonville. Two conference champs going home tonight.  Unreal. Have to love playoff football. 

Anybody have SIAC and PAC champs getting beat tonight?  I sure didn’t.  

Tigers at Boonville for the ship.  Gonna be a battle.

Hard fought battle. Both teams made mistakes but not for lack of getting after it. Gods season Cats.  

 

 

Good*.  Damn fat fingers.

Unstoppable and a top 10 all-time great in the SIAC. I think the old North coach, Mike Wilson, said he’s only seen 1 better player in his time coaching in the SIAC, and that was Deke Cooper.

How good is Evansville North?

All things considered?? Very average. 
on paper and in the airport probably one the most impressive looking teams.

For the record...the Memorial Jasper game should be a doosie!

 

I think it’s a coin toss. 

BV vs Reitz slight edge Reitz 

GS vs OV big lean GS

Yeah...I do...he rolls up in my DMs after we lose.  I feel the same as you and I think you know that.

There are exceptions and it’s a constant teaching process for our young Tiger, GG!   He’s is learning but does stumble from time to time. 
 

Back to football. What an exciting time for the coaches, players, and fans!  Nothing better than the anticipation of a Friday tournament game. If players only knew how much excitement these times provide for their community. 

Some great games this Friday for SWI football in all classes with some really good players.

Side note.  I have a great relationship with many SIAC guys.  I have to say that SOME of these Memorial guys are like the girlfriend you broke up with that still still stalks you even though you could care less what she is up to now days.  Perhaps we can get a restraining order? 😆

Seems you’re more the BF that keeps chasing what you can’t have.  IM Kidding! But damn Memorial is coming out that mouth often. I promise this fan could give two poops if you win or lose. Ultimately it’s about the kids and I love seeing kids win at a high level from all schools. This will likely be the last time 90% of these kids will ever play organized sports on a team outside of intramural again. Can’t imagine being an adult and cheering when a team loses. You know anybody like that?

I think it’s more of a hindsight thing

 

sometimes it really doesn’t matter who you play and you just got the right dudes.  OV might be in that category.

 

other times schedule matters a lot…I would like to think that VL last week gave GS the trouble they did because they had been in tough games with memorial Reitz md and the rest of the SIAC.  So facing GS was similar to facing Reitz or someone and they didn’t just fold over and kept fighting 

This could be a complete swing and miss…

GS 2022 reminds me of EM 2019.  Big names graduating after state title(s) runs and some questions that needed answered about who’s the next man up. Almost feel like underdogs most nights because most outside of the inner-circle of Titan football expected a let down.  Im sure Titan32 and others felt different. I had no doubts in 2019 the Tigers would make a deep run when many thought that was it.  

Im sure GS vs OV will be a good game with lots of big plays. Tournament wins on the road are never easy for high school teams this time of year. 

Does regular season schedule matter? GS and other PAC fans were saying schedule didn’t matter leading up to the S32 battles with Memorial and the rest of the field. I always felt like it was important to some degree. Now I’m hearing some of the same GS/PAC fans say schedule does matter. Has the thought on scheduling changed now that GS has beefed theirs up?

Has there ever been a bigger drop off in such a short time? Undefeated conference champs 2 years ago to this year. Is it coaching? Is it transfers? 

IMO Central can thank the culture Andy Owen developed at Central. Win at all cost, disrespect your opponents, hire unqualified friends, and turn a blind eye to all on and off field problems. Just win baby!!! 
 

They lost back to back HC that could flat out coach but couldn’t straighten out the dumpster fire created by AO.  
 

Now the program will suffer for the foreseeable future.

How does no one in the SIAC beat the 7th place team in the SIAC by more than 20 points, yet a PAC did?

How does the #1 team in the SIAC only beat the 7th place team by 3?

So many ponderables.

I’ve said for the last decade the SIAC needs to elevate their level of play to that of the PAC.  I think they are getting closer but not there yet.  I thought Memorial was there but then they couldn’t get to state that 4th time in a row.  Keep grinding SIAC. Next year is the year.

Is the QB out against Jasper?

No. He had the flu. Could of played tonight if needed.

Congratulations to Jasper on the win tonight. The Cats are clearly clicking on all cylinders at the right time. The rematch with Memorial is going to be incredible.
 

This marks 3 years running that Jasper has embarrassed VL in this rivalry…I really felt Lincoln would bring the fight on the road and play some good football ..win or lose.
 

But a totally disheartening performance…September I would have given the Alices a shot against anyone in SW Indiana. The last 6 quarters they’ve been a shell of themselves…to the point where they’re non competitive. 

 

I’m sure they will get their mojo back week 10.  Unlike any conference in SW Indiana, the SIAC is a grind and can cause many ups and downs for a young talented team.  

MD can be there late with a chance to win if they can create a few turnovers and be efficient in 3rd down situations.  QB from MD needs to have a big game.  
 

key to week 9 for all teams….be healthy on Saturday morning.

I think it means that Jasper and Memorial are going to team up together and take down Goliath

Jasper or Memorial vs Reitz and their transfers.

Does Jasper automatically get to play at home for round 2? 
 

i mean….both memorial and bosse are technically playing a home game haha 

Only if Memorial gets home side and use of Hudl live 😎

I find it interesting we haven’t heard from any of the memorial fans their opinions on this play. I know you posted it but you gave no comment. Clearly looks like a TD to me too. 

Here’s my opinion as it has been for years with officials.  The official made a call, live with it and move on.

Power Rankings updates:

1. Reitz

2. Mater Dei

3. Memorial?

4. ?

5. ?

6. ?

7. ?

8. Harrison

9. Bosse

10. Central

For the first time in a while, I have no idea how to rank 3-7, too many 4-3 teams. I will update it again before Friday and run some projections

Other than better record I’m not sure MD is 2.
