  1. With all due respect to you and the other posters...I do not believe that a single poster here (on this particular thread) is a "Plymouth Person" giving excuses about their program. Many of the posters are talking about demographics of hispanic population, numbers for FB in general etc. If you look at the names of the posters and then the names of the schools they are associated with...Highland, Warsaw, Whiting, Frankfort etc...none of these posters are "plymouth people" giving excuses. I believe it when you say "Excuses start at the top." But it seems with this thread, there is nobody from "the top" making excuses. my 2 cents
  2. Thank you for your responses...I try not to criticize referees as they are doing a job I would never want to do. High School sports does not function without their sacrifice away from their families to call games. I just was looking for some perspective and your answers gave me that perspective. So thank you to all three of you for your answers. And if you are or were referees, thank you for your service. We can scrub this topic off the site now if moderators want to do that.
  3. did not want to post on normal board. Referees have a thankless job and I appreciate what they do for the kids....Peru wins in the end so it does not matter I guess....but.... 5 seconds left in regulation at Oak Hill last Friday in semis. Oak Hill lines up for game winning field goal from inside the 5 yard line. Peru kid seems to time it perfectly and blocks the field goal. Peru scoops and runs the ball all the way back some 90 yards into the end zone. No flag for offsides anywhere on the field. The referees meet and discuss the play and call Peru offsides after the discussion. Still no flag, touchdown called back, and Oak Hill gets the ball moved half the distance. Time put back on the clock and Oak Hill subsequently fumbles the snap. Again...Peru wins in the end, but I still can't figure out the offsides call with no flag and the 2 (literally 2) minute discussion. Help?
  4. Would be tempted to take Tippy Valley and the points. Strength of schedule hurts Valley some.
  5. Great discussion on economics related to football. Tried looking for the longest rivalry...found on Wikipedia (I know I know) Peru VS Logansport started in 1902 and is the "Longest continuous rivalry in the state of Indiana." I know this is not part of the topic of Warsaw's new Fight Song from a previous poster (hilarious I might add, but true), but it does fill in a blank of some sort.
  6. Coach Curtis fears nobody. Bobref....I thought Logansport vs Peru was the longest running rivalry in football for Indiana. Wonder where one could find that info...
  7. Hey Maroon man Growing up as a kid, Steele Stadium I believe was named "Tupper Field." Do you know the history on that name? Always wondered. What year did they change? Thinking around 1980 or 1981?
  8. My Dad, a long time School City educator and Caveman fan of all sports said back in the 90's, "the best thing the NIC should do is disband and re-form without Penn in it." At that time as you can remember, Penn was on that streak of not losing in football to the NIC schools. He was getting tired of hearing all about Penn Penn Penn. LOL Well, my theory to him was "get better or get used to it," even though I somewhat secretly agreed. Mishawaka's move to the NLC was good based on future revenues (post-Covid of course). I think as an earlier poster mentioned, how much does anybody know about the SB schools and their future? When the NIC grew to its newest configuration, all of the schools were smaller than MHS. Most NLC schools travel well. Some NIC schools travel well. Not enough though. Football revenue has to be better with larger schools coming to Steele Stadium. I would think the home basketball gates of NLC schools coming to MHS for a game are better as well. Please do not view this as a negative post about the smaller schools in the NIC and their fan base. Some of those schools have rabid (in a good way) fan bases. Athletically, Jimtown wrestling can match up with MHS and Penn. Marian matches up in FB and BB among other sports. St Joe Soccer? SB Adams BB/SB Riley BB? My thinking is due to more revenue being generated by a larger visiting fan base. It would be interesting to find an old article when the move was being considered and then finalized what the reasoning School City of Mish had for the move. I just don't remember what the discussion was at the time. It would also be interesting to see the breakdown of ticket/concessions revenue after the move compared to previous NIC scheduling. Of course it could not be done this year due to Covid restrictions for seating capacity. 😞 Am I crazy thinking this was about revenue as much as about competition?
  9. That practice field is what makes Mishawaka football players. By early September it is dirt hole and hard as a brick. Oh the good ole days of practicing there. Rain? mud slop... Sun? Dust and dirt flying everywhere Hot? dirt sweat stink Cold? pain from the cold and the brick dirt. Plus the occasional small rock that would protrude through was always fun. Game field grass was so comfortable to land on after practicing behind the stadium all week.
  10. Law is Law... DCS should have been called. A person with higher functioning taking advantage of of someone who is not. It also could fall under the Indiana "Bullying" statute as it happened to the same person at least twice that is known. Admin heads should roll. Did admin educate the FB staff about prior incident? If so, how did it happen again? If FB staff was aware of previous incident and did not prevent another???? FB heads should roll. Where are the adults monitoring the locker room? Where is the leadership on the team (players) stepping up and punching somebody in the mouth for taking advantage of their own manager? We had a special needs manager my senior year. He loved being part of it. He ran out to get the tee after kickoffs. Everybody cheered. As far as P/P. Not part of this discussion. This happens in the best of school corporations. Carmel had some boys BB issues a few years ago. This is a being a kind human argument.
