One team that maybe needs to be mentioned on the list is Northview. Mark Raetz has a squad that has been hammering people. A test this Friday against an undefeated Owen Valley team, will give us a better read on both of these newbees on top of their conferences.

Was not my intention, but your suggestion is a lot better! By the way, what about that? The hawks D has taken it up a notch or two this year. And with that in mind, the offense doesn't need to do too much to win the game. Indiana should be taking notes.

So today is when it all starts. IU’s rise to the top. The great step up in talent and the depth to go along with it. This is it! Coaches can’t get in the way any more, the Hoosier Train is ready to roll.

If I’m not mistaken , I think it’s the same Castle team that kicked the hell out of Bloomington south in the sectional the week before. 28-0.

This game kind of mirrored the IU/ Iowa game. South scored real quick and North kind of shut down, never recovered. Second half, they played even but the game essentially was over. Not sure why you don’t think Lonzano is impressive? He has an offer from Indiana State in the fold. Your assessment of Bloomington South has some merit, but I think it’s the coaches who are responsible for the mental approach to the game. I’m not going to assume Gabe Johnson is going to be a great coach. Why I picked North to win this one? Umm….. well 2 years ago at South I think north won , then last year Bloomington South was given a gift and got the game into overtime ,after they were down 20 points-and won on an error by the north team. Not an expert here ,and it didn’t play into why I pick north,but I think all the pickems had North a slight favorite. But good call, you had something to base your pick on but In wasn’t recent history.

So , all the talk here on the Bloomington teams seems to center on both defenses. Yielding lots of yardage to soso teams. unless there is a big turnaround, we could see scores in the 30’s or more tonight. I’m going to take the underdog tonight, North. It is always a tight game.

Do you think special teams are more important than defense or offense ? I don’t. They are all equal. To be successful you have to platoon in high school. Let alone college. No way can a team only use 11-14 players and go deep into a championship.

I can’t disagree with you guys. But I have no confidence in this team, including last year, and the program over all. The team is quirky and has been for several years. There has very little consistency. The only consistency is the rotation of coaches every year starting in the Wilson era. Winning 6 or 7 is about what the team is capable of right now this season, and I don’t think there is any correlation from last year. I think they can win about as much as I think they can lose.

Yes on this. I'm not too impressed with Bloomington south so far this year. They better have more than what they've showed so far this year, if they want to beat The North Cougars.

Now that’s a mouthful! The Stars? Think they can win another?

Tony Lewis, I think we need to get an Interview with Tony. What a job he is doing at Jasper

Ok, man Jasper is making a name in the conference.

Underdogs my butt. According to people who think a 2a should not be able to compete with 6a? Ha. Except for the Catholics Fort wayne has a group of has beens. All of them.

Lol

Any links? And good popcorn is a must, with pop on tap.

Ok, let’s see, I’m getting my schedule together, like Whiteshoes. Rushville, Madison Grant next week, Linton for ribeyes after that……keep posting men. I need to get the schedule formulated.

Good start to the season, Great to see Indiana’s Mr. Football , Steele, in action. 79 yards, 7 carries. “Preferred walk on” offer from Purdue or Scolly from Ball State. Nice for us football fans to see our state “cream” play.

I’m thinking of Whiteshoes and his gang of marauders might enjoy the ribeyes, instead of patronizing a restaurant. I personally check out all concessions beforehand and make my choice of games ,if any, with their menus in mind.

Yes on the No common sense districting.

Where Mudda is going there are lots of copper heads and rattle snakes. Keep your head down. At the ponderosa sun club you keep your head up.

This is the “region rats “idea of the wilderness.

They have ribeyes at the concession?

Oh, on paper it’s an easy call to make, BS over BN. All the transfers and not just this year but over the years , from north to the south program and all the south move ins.. sure easy enough. Easy call.

The stars are pathetic this year.

The question is, in two weeks does the B. North Cougars have enough offense to counter their soso defense. Everyone is forgetting Norths high powered offense. This is a good rivalry no mater how the teams are ranked.
