Carmel was awful last night. Just watched the game. So many penalties. They were lucky to get out of LC with the win. Brownsburg is back at the top of my list. I didn't particularly think it was close between Carmel and Brownsburg, but it looks like I was incorrect (as Temp would say, "like always").

Costly. Conference makes scheduling easy.

They have no idea, Temp.

Yes he can.

Many programs are now doing it earlier in the year. It moved at BD during the pandemic, and I know one reason why it's stayed earlier at Ben Davis is because it was falling on Fall Break. Both the basketball teams still do their final home game as Senior Night.

Tech is currently having issues with their stadium...at least anecdotally. Jerdson Gamble's a good guy. Loved working with him here at BD. I know the program he's trying to build there. I just hope he can build it before it wears him down.

How many State Championships did Rick Streiff win at North Central? Mark Haste? Kevin O'Shea? I'd say there are other things that must be at work there. But, that's just one example. Those are all fantastic football coaches.

I don't care if Carmel had 100 kids or 5500 kids...if they fielded this year's Carmel team, they'd still be a good team.

I'm telling you...eye test...Carmel is going to be a tough out for anyone, Brownsburg included.

Carmel is different this year. They just are. They're good in all three phases and are beating good and bad/struggling teams badly. Carmel is a complete football team. Only loss was to nationally ranked Louisville Trinity.

Never saw that result coming. Cathedral seemed to be really struggling...then here they are. Great win for the Irish.

Tell John.

John has his own ratings metric that he uses. It's what he uses to make his predictions.

Wingate still touts their 1913 and 1914 State Basketball Championships

I figured there had to be a reason. These calls just don't get missed very often.

These squads aren't down for long. They'll be back.

#2, I can only imagine they'll be ready to dump some points on Ben Davis. Kevin Wright's last appearance against the Giants didn't go so well after the 17-0 start. #3, Center Grove just gets it done. Must be something to that old formula they have down there. They just keep doing it. #8, Boy, Warren feels like they should be one of the top teams. They're certainly better on offense than they were last year and have some players on defense. When Warren fans are saying that Pike got robbed, then Pike got robbed. That was one of the worst missed calls I've seen in maybe 15-16 years...maybe back to that Carmel/Warren state game. I get that officials are human and make mistakes. It's hard to see what that official was watching, but I'm sure he feels horrible. Usually those guys and gals are hardest on themselves when they know they messed up. By the way, Is Pike playing a backup QB? I know Lewis was hurt against BD.

How far do you rank teams? Just wondering.

Is it true that once a tourney game starts that it has to finish, Bob? A few years back, BD was at Tech. The Giants were up big at the half. There was some sort of kerfuffle in the Tech stands, and the ATHS Principal tried to get the game to be called. We were told by our folks that the game had to be played to the finish per the IHSAA.

Well, that's been happening. Is there really even a line anymore? I mean, one leads to the other.

Plainfield is rapidly approaching from the East just like Brownsburg is rapidly approaching Tri-West from the East.

The Big E Conference!

Mark the tape. We're in agreement.

Fair.

So you disagree?
