Cathedral frequently competes with and defeats teams bigger than they are. Their enrollment is less than 1200. 

Did you seriously type that with a straight face? I mean...seriously?

That reason was kind of just to be funny 

Right over my head (easy to do).

I would like to Nominate New Pal for Entry into the MIC. Reason- they have earned the right to come play in the best conference in the state. They could teach all the football teams how to play football. Their Baseball program is top notch. They have beaten CG 2 years in a row. Not enough teams in the MIC with Red as a school color. Their fans are the greatest. They need more competition. They will be in 6A in 2021. They beat Cathedral. They have a MR. Football winner. Their fans want Warren. Dragons are cool. 

5/8 of the MIC has red or dark red in their color scheme.

Center Grove, NC, Pike, LC, and LN.

I nominate Ben Davis for the MIC because...Ben Davis.

Good luck to him. I will be interested to see how this goes for him.

Why so much turnover?

Tough job getting tougher.

Fun offseason topic

What if the IHSAA playoffs were a NCAA Bowl Subdivision type playoff system?

Who would your four teams have been for the playoff either outright (no class system), from your favorite class, or all classes from this last season and what other teams would be in your big bowl games.

It behooves a coach to come in and see the personnel he has and fit an offense and defense to that OR...like Eric Moore...you make your program fit you and install it all the way down to pee wee.

Either approach works. Dick Dullaghan ran the "I", but he ran the spread with James Banks. A good coach can/has to adapt.

Fishers is best job currently open

By a mile, and I would think that someone in that district should make a phone call.

#8 is the one I would watch.

The most DT thing ever to put himself on the GID Mt. Rushmore.🤣

Congratulations on a great career! 

Ok...have fun. What are your "Mount Rushmores" of Indiana High School football. This could be anything from stadiums to broadcasters to GID posters to concessions to coaches to programs to tailgating to whatever. Have fun. Thanks to the "Top 25" thread for inspiration.

Pro Football Reference is so awesome.

An interesting question would be a "Mount Rushmore" of Indiana High School Football Programs. That could get dicey!

I do know the Lawrence Township schools are very happy and very much a part of the MIC. They have no interest in looking at any other conference.

This has no bearing on any discussion with DT. He's the spaghetti man of the GID...throw something against the wall and see if it sticks.

What about K.C. Woods from Danville?

I'm not sure Jeff to Fishers is an upgrade but am willing to be convinced...

1) HCC job

2) State Championship (2010)

3) Growing Population

Kizer was a worthy pick last year though the right pick would have been Bell, imo. There's no race like that this year. It's Spegal.

Here's a list of coaches I think would be great hires for Fishers:

Pat Shanley, Laff Jeff - Would like to see his high powered offense at Fishers.  Young coach, who could bring a spark to the program.

Coach Shanley would be a perfect fit at Fishers if he wants it. It is a great job opening, and that area continues to explode in growth. I wonder if they will split into a third high school at some point?

Easy for you to poke fun at the idea as a fan of Ben Davis.................the second largest school in the state with 4500 students. What would happen if Snider, Valpo, Merrillville, Zionsville, Avon, Center Grove, and Laffayette Jeff had 4500 students? The Giants stronghold on 6a would come to an end. But those schools don't have those numbers, so I guess Ben Davis can continue to add to their trophy case and thump their chest claiming "were the greatest."

It was tongue in cheek and not meant seriously at all. I have nothing but respect for Snider. Seth Ziegel man...Seth Ziegel.

BD was a different place back then my friend...

I grew up in Farley.

The answer is hidden in my response.  

Jimmy’s and Joe’s with supportive home lives makes all the difference.

Noblesville has neither compared to the teams it is asked to compete with week in and week out.

But here's the other side of that. Prior to 1980, Ben Davis' record was 140-240 with 10 total winning seasons. Since, the Giants are 359-127. Someone changed that culture permanently.

And I should give Bob Wilbur his props too. From 1973-1983, he went 59-53 and led the Giants to the 1977 Final Four (he beat Dullaghan in the Sectional).
