Wow is it difficult to read reuters or AP stories and come to any conclusion about what is actually happening. So many half-truths and key details missing. Some key details that do not paint the trustee in this case in a very positive manner and may actually be criminal. . The trustee's are actually DOJ employees, not part of the judiciary. They are supposed to maximize the value for creditors and oversee the process but are not final arbiters. If you ever listen Alex Jones, it wouldn't take long to realize he really isn't a fan of the federal government and it stands to reason they don't like him either. . Trustee in this case changed the auction bidding process outside of the judges orders. Instead of open auction with cash coming from highest bidder, the auction was changed to bids being given to trustee and he would decide who had the best offer for the creditors regardless of bid price(🤔) .Trustee awards Onion infowars studio, name, etc... even though they have lower bid. Stranger yet, they don't pay cash they bid with credit from another case in Connecticut in which the same creditor's are seeking more money. Seems like satire, they are using future funds that the creditors may receive to allegedly pay creditors now in exchange for infowars studio and name or put another way they aren't paying anything. .Trustee immediately shuts infowars studio(with no court order) and kicks everyone out of building on 11/14 and takes down ip addresss. .Emergency hearing held next day, judge not pleased with trustee's action and gives studio and all naming rights back to Alex Jones. Evidentiary hearing scheduled for 12/9 and 12/17 while Alex Jones continues to broadcast to million's of people every day.

Very sad that it ended like that, but with rare exception this is how it goes for old coaches. There is always a new savior over the horizon.

From the article it appears fairly clear that the Mount Vernon principal did not sign off on the waiver to give them full eligibility. The article's don't make it clear enough that it is the actual principal of the releasing school that sign-offs on the waiver to allow full eligibility not the AD. Regardless, what they are now requesting is for the iHSAA to step in and override the releasing school's request which seems unlikely, but maybe with the bad press it could happen. From my understanding IHSAA almost always follows what the school disctrict's request. Both schools agree to eligibility, they grant it, one school does not, they deny it.

I wonder what the percentage is of the ihsaa actually siding with the school/coach over the officiating crew? I would say somewhere around 1 in a 1000 or less, I know I've never seen or heard of any instances.

They looked pretty solid earlier this year in my opinion plus they won three straight sectionals. They also beat three teams(Riverton Parke, Eastern, Sheridan) who are still playing and an undefeated Frontier team so it's not like they played a bunch of 1st yr programs. I just think they were making mental mistakes early and things just started to go sideways.

I'm not a ref, but it seems to me discretion should have dictated no flag because it had no affect at all on the play. Basically, everyone would agree if the offense runs a sweep right and the left tackle grabs some jersey on the left end, generally this is not going to be called. If the defensive coach questioned the hold, he would likely be told "I could call holding on every play if I wanted to" by the ref, but that had no affect. The same discretion should have applied here, there was no advantage gained by the kids accidentally coming onto the field early.

How did they barely beat the Sheridan Blackhawks? Sheridan is down a little but is still a pretty good team that will probably win their sectional. That was a really good win for Taylor. As far as North White, I don't know specific details but my understanding is they had some mistakes in red zone and blew some assignments on defense that made game closer than it should have been, but ultimately that was game 1 with new coach so not a true picture.

Alex at Wabash- Alex by a lot Eastbrook at Tipton- Interesting game, noticed for 2A sagarin ratings Tipton, Eastbrook, and Eastern are the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd ranked teams in the class. Both are solid programs and don't really have any great wins or bad losses for the season. My guess is that Tipton edges out the victory at home on their new turf field. Elwood at Rochester- Rochester, hopefully the Panthers can get back to competetive. Blackford at Eastern- Barring silly mistakes, Eastern should get the job done here.

Madison Grant vs. Carroll for North semistate. Winner wins state.

I think it will be in this neighborhood. Good year for Frontier, but in my opinion they will struggle with Carroll's size and athleticism.

So are there any female coaches? Given that very few women(biological) ever played the sport and very few coaches end up coaching a sport they never played, there can't be many. However, I was curious if there were any. Sounds like a good way to get a nice newspaper article written about your team.

Don Brown has got to go for sure. Michigan is one of the most talented defenses in the conference and ranks near the bottom. As much as I love what IU is doing this year, there really isn't any excuse for IU and NW to have a significantly better defense than Michigan. Maybe Don Brown is a defensive genius, but there is no reason for them to give up so many big plays. From afar it looks like his guys aren't dialed in to what he wants to do and therefore they make a bunch of mistakes.

I'm not against safety, I just don't believe players that choose to play are at any greater risk playing football than they would be doing any of the other activities twenty-something's like to do. I also believe most twenty-somethings know they are low risk which is why we see cases increasing among this demographic.

The threat of a lawsuit is the only logical explanation for this. I can't believe there are many sane people that think kids have a greater opportunity to contract covid or any other virus on the football field than they would out socializing. Some of the players will be concerned about the virus, but most see the same data as the rest of us and know that the 20-29 yr old age bracket is at a minimal risk(not zero) of getting complications from this virus.

For the varsity football team a large portion(majority) of the kids are driving themselves to practice hours after having any contact with their parents. Should parents be leaving work to go check the temperature of their 16 yr olds? It takes seconds per kid with a infrared thermometer so if teams really think it is worthwhile, doing it as kids arrive is the best method.
