Makes you think if Memorial didn’t play above average last night and at its strength, could’ve  been a different outcome. But I’m sure a rematch might happen in the sectional, unless the 9-0 curse continues.

Thought both teams were sloppy and careless. Can’t fault the effort by both teams but the game didn’t live up to the hype.  Sectional 24 is wide open. I’d say Jasper is back in the mix after that W in Paradise.

Just stirring the pot

Maybe I’m wrong. We will soon find out in tournament play.  Memorial looked very average last night but was basically a crazy blocked punt into the end zone and 3 missed opportunities on PATs from a win.

PAC is better. 

Ehhh. Not sure about that. 

Won’t be a popular opinion but the SIAC is a bunch of average teams and 1 above average to good team. Thinking of the top teams over the last few years, I think those teams beat this years top teams pretty handily.  

Won’t be a popular opinion but the SIAC is full of very average teams this year and 1 team above average to good.  When I think of teams over the last few years that have finished 1st and 2nd I think they hammer this years top teams. JMO.  

Never thought I’d be worried about a freshman kicker possibly being out a few games. That was and will be a huge problem moving forward.

Love the move by Brunson

 

Move makes zero sense to me. You’re 7-0 and siac champs and finally over .500 as HC at Reitz. They all ain’t gonna be pretty. Enjoy a victory, learn from mistakes and move on. JMO

So where is our breakdown of every possible scenario for second place in the SIAC with 2 weeks to go?

If you ain’t 1st you’re last 😎

Really thinking about North. 1600 students, parents who are involved, feeder programs. They should run the SIAC. The comment someone made about 500 is so true. This make zero sense. 

It’s puzzling. The basketball team has improved over the last few seasons and even won a couple of sectionals. Baseball team has always been top half of the league but hasn’t been able to win a sectional for awhile. 
Football team seems to start out on fire then fades away 2nd half. They have a very impressive roster. Size and athletes all over the field.

Massey

North (-2) at Vincennes, 54% chance of victory for the Huskies 

Central at Harrison (-3), 54% of victory for the Warriors

Bosse at Mater Dei (-34), 96% chance of victory for the Cats

Jasper at Castle (-7), 62% chance of victory for the Knights

Reitz at Memorial (-1), 51% chance of victory for the Tigers

Massey drinking for breakfast?

This may be the most competitive week of the season.
 

The big game may be a bit of a let down. Memorial maybe still due to health doesn’t have the dudes to keep up with Reitz.  
 

castle wins easy

the rest might be closer than the spread. I could see Central winning. North & Vincennes is a toss up.  Bosse might cover too. 
 

A couple weeks from tournament time. Still feel like it’s Panthers at Lucas Oil, everyone else average

Hopefully Memorial finds a way to be competitive. I know this will be the best team they’ve faced in years including the post season. Hope the moments not to big for the Tigers. 
 

Male sure you use pencil on your 4A title game unless the teams in south 4A have changed since the start of the season. 

I do think Reitz will have a HUGE chip on their shoulder based on the last 5 games Vs Memorial all being blowouts.  I expect an extremely fired up excited Panthers team ready to erase 5 straight losses. I know Memorial felt the same when they finally ended a streak to the Panthers.

Just curious. On your pick of Memorial, do you see them scoring 50, or shutting down the panther offense?

Just curious? Do you expect Reitz to score 50?  They haven’t this year and Memorial IMO will be the best team defense Reitz has seen this year. Reitz is a big favorite for a reason but don’t underestimate Memorials ability to prepare to win 1 game. I think this staff has proven they can win and compete on any stage over the past 6 years. 
Memorial will have to play lights out to have a chance.  I think the only outcome that will be a surprise IMO is a blowout win by either team.

Not sure Memorial makes up a 24 pt deficit regardless of who was playing/not playing...sometimes Week 1 games are just unpredictable and aren't indicative of how a team's season will go. Not looking to argue on the matter just giving my 2 cents. I would love to see this rematch in the sectional. 

And if memory serves me right, this is roughly when Memorial started to turn things on last season. So I can understand the growing optimism. But this is not the 2021 SIAC either. The next 3 weeks will tell us a lot about the upper half of the conference. 

They don’t have to make up a 24 point deficit. It will be 0-0 with a completely different memorial team lining up to play.  
I’ll be happy to eat crow if they play in sectional and Jasper  wins. 2021 the SIAC was very good.  Jasper ran the table in conference, Memorial - semi state, and MD - state.

Memorial really can not like this close to the season finishing v. Reitz (6-0), @Lincoln (4-2), and v. Castle (4-2). That is a rough finish this year. 

Not sure they care either way. Gotta play all 9 and hope for good health week 10.

Jasper only went undefeated last year and won the conference. And won the first match up 31-10.  But sure. Convincing win and Jasper wouldnt stand a chance. 🙄 

Great season last year.  SIAC championship is a difficult task.  Great week 1 win. JMO Memorial wins convincingly if healthy.

In Fisher’s 4 starts @tango

758 yards/ 189.5 YPG

56/78 0.72 pct

Going to have a challenge against the #1 SIAC passing defense 

He’s played great. Really extends plays that look dead.

We won that first game 34-10. I don't think a healthy memorial team has a guaranteed victory over Jasper like Reitz does. 

That was a great game by Jasper.  I just don’t think Jasper will have much for Memorial if they meet again. Tigers would be 6-0 with 6 convincing Wins if healthy all season.  I get injury’s are part of it but rarely do teams start the season with 4 or 5 all SIAC kids out weeks 1 and 2.  
 

If Tigers start season healthy this would have been a matchup oh two 6-0 teams.  That would of added a lot of juice to this game. Still going to be an electric atmosphere.  
 

North proving to be just another typical North team.  I know people on here love coach P but coach Wilson was fired for consistently being .500.  One could argue North has had as good as talent as any siac team the last couple of years

I believe there is no longer a point to any of this. It’s hard to communicate with Grant from whatever barstool he is currently sitting on. 

Wow. Throwing shade on a good young man who loves his Tigers. Stay classy big guy!
from NOT Grant.

Ervin ,Mcguire pretty sure aren’t life kind catholic boys etc. Memorial did have a special group. Still added by voucher kids. My point was that’s not possible yr in yr out . 

08, 09, 17, 18, 19.  List the transfers. The number of voucher kids is much greater than you think the past few years.  Large number of families that have been in Catholic schools now qualify for money.  Why not take advantage of a great opportunity both academically and athletically? With or without Ervin and Mcquire the Tigers finish season Thanksgiving weekend.

Grown men worried about things the kids could care less about! 

Exactly. This started with the grown men at Bosse not sticking to an agreement and those same grown men worrying about something the kids could careless about.

LMAO.  Go look at 2016, 2017, 2018, rosters and guess again. You obviously know ZERO about Memorial football. Sit this one out.  
These names ring a bell. COMBSX2, Hart, Lindauer, Turnbaugh, Goodwin, Johnson, McCool, Pence, Falkenstien, Hurley, Lively, Merrimee, Ervin, and I could go on all day. 
 

And 2019.

Here’s an issue that I do know about . Without Brodie, Tyler, Rode, the lineman from North and many others you’re not a very good team year in and out. Be happy rules are in place to allow those kids to get vouchers if needed and transfer and stop worrying about seats. Or just complain about everything that doesn’t perfectly fit your needs.
