Coach Nowlin

if you get up my way early enough, tremendous food opportunities throughout the city, but especially downtown area Live in CP since 2004, but been teaching and coaching in Rensselaer for 21 years

Last Weekend, I watched all games I could from comfort of chair, it was glorious Tonight, I shall be doing what John Denver so eloquently described, "leaving on a Jet Plane". Go Boilers

I know schools used to be able to elect to stay in a class instead of dropping but never heard of it being per sport, all or none

MY MAN!! Who are the 2 poor players who get left off the field if they punch their ticket? Unless IHSAA increased roster size over 75?

doubtful

Love this also, GO BULLDOGS

I'd be remised not to mention again, how TV got absolutely short sticked by the 3a Tournament committee, those individuals threw them into a sectional for no good reason, E/W or N/S. made no sense sending TV to that sectional. Knox vs TV would of been fun, but my $ would of been on TV then they could of played Chatard of SS however, I digress carry on

so just unlucky for those teams that his year's version of Chatard got to head back to 3a They would be very difficult to handle coming out of 4a North, wish we could get that East Central vs Chatard this year, that would be quite the slobberknocker

we have 37 of our 42 players coming back and some 8th graders coming in. We had to play 3a football this past year with an enrollment of around 445. 2 years ago, Count Day, we had 528, by Xmas we had under 500, migrant workers and their families showed up and left, which left our school playing up. So it goes, but we are a 2a school thru and thru

Why can't Chatard earn enough points to stay in 4a? That is a real question

Sad part is he must wait yet another year, hope he takes a good insurance policy out

I believe I am going on close to 5 years since I turned on any sort of ESPN/FOX/NFL network talk show, pundit show, insert loud mouths in front TV type show. Its all garbage and meant to illicit responses and clicks, ESPN is on my TV for live sports that is it.

this much I think should be all agreed upon 1. EVERYONE attempts to pick up on sideline signs, I mean EVERYONE ( this includes HIGH SCHOOL TOO) 2. The issue here is the CIA esque way this Michigan Staffer went about it, THAT is the issue at hand. 3. Jim Harbaugh clearly knew it was happening, to what extent is he culpable, that is what SUITS will figure out 4. Harbaugh being barred on Game Day does nothing but galvanize his team and 100% gives them the ole classic US AGAINST THE WORLD. For a team that really didn't need any "extra" motivation, GOOD LUCK OHIO STATE, it's going to get real ugly now.

Future top 10 pick IMO thought so when I first saw some highlights up in my neck of the woods MERCY

I will take East Central

Happy for Coach Nay, however, be lying if I wasn't hoping to see Rochester win and send LCC back to 1a. 🙂

must of been the Map used to send Tippy Valley to Indy Sectional.

You forgot the "C". RCHS, but I digress Just because I truly do like you, here you go. Muda69, as a champion of School Choice, you must understand that School Choice is not just about Academics. School Choice is about the entire school community. Examples of this include, but not limited to: Academic success/reputation, School Culture, Safety, and yes, EXTRA CURRICULAR Activites, such as Sports, FFA, Robotics, et. al. As someone who has advocated for School Choice, you cannot be naive to the fact that some families will utilize school choice for their child's athletic endeavors, good or bad, but that is part of the process as well, or as some may think, an unintended consequence of school choice. Cheers

Metzger will throw for 300 + Exactly what @RegionFBFan stated, the game will be on a very good FAST bermuda grass field with no moisture in sight. You cannot blitz and sell out to get to Metzger because they will get the ball out incredibly fast, then what, you have an secondary who won't be able to run and catch up with those WRs. Who will LaVille counter with to shut down a 6'7 WR? LaVille has had an outstanding year, their is another level of football in Lafayette area then our friends farther north. As seen by West Lafayette beating Hanover Central last week. LaVille NEEDED a monsoon imo, they didn't get it this week like they did week 10

Kevin Warren WOULD be laughing about this situation from his old gig, until he realized he is the man in charge of Chicago Bears

oh now, of course you can, if you choose to my friend. Im just a meathead elementary PE teacher, me no need good grammar

What is PENN DL / FRONT 7,8 look like SIZE wise?? CP is HUGE up front as stated above, they do a GREAT job working as a UNIT firing off the ball and having H backs come pulling into the Hole on the their POWER scheme. One thing I do know, PENN won't waste their DL by going to a 5 man front to "cut" out the OL of CP like Lake Central did last week, CP just ran over the top of it, and left NO DEFENDERS for LC to attack the LOS with. Then when you fall asleep as stated also above, the QB can launch it behind all the sleepy defenders to streaking Wideouts. CP 28 Penn 14 is my 46307 living area code prediction. (spoiler alert, I live n CP 🙂 )

As an advocate for School Choice, you also must take the understand, school choice, can lead to this sort of thing to occur, when talking school choice, you cannot cherry pick, well only for academics, that is not the reality of the situation, I think you understand that.

How about this response to the WETZEL article https://x.com/TheBigTenHuddle/status/1722274136716931110?s=20 After reviewing the recent opinion piece by @DanWetzel titled, "Either everyone's guilty, or no one is," I believe Dan got a few things wrong that I would like to address: 1. "In the end, they both stole, or participated in the stealing of, the same thing — information on opponents' play signals in an effort to secure an advantage." - Dan Wetzel To determine that Michigan stole the same thing that Purdue did is completely asinine. Michigan obtained video that they could review and sync up with a TV copy of the game and All 22 film. This would be reviewed repeatedly for hours, being rewound and played back at various speeds. Purdue was given information from coaches about what they saw and believed to be correct. This information must be trusted by the giver of information and cannot be reviewed and checked. 2. "It's just that one was a ski mask bank robbery. The other was an inside job, cleanly wiring the money to the Caribbean." - Dan Wetzel Also untrue is the notion that the stolen information was sent through already with no error after one contest. Connor Stalions had plans to gain information to review 8 Ohio State games this year. For these two things to be even remotely equivalent, Purdue would have needed nearly every Big Ten team that faced Michigan to agree to give them information about their signs. 3. "Whatever it is, just make it even, because the actions of Connor Stalions and the actions that Ohio State, Rutgers, and Purdue allegedly engaged in are the exact same thing." - Dan Wetzel Ohio State, Rutgers, and Purdue did not steal signs from their opponent illegally, and sharing notes from one game each amongst one another is not against any rule. Connor Stalions paid and incentivized others to gain video of multiple coaches every week. The amount of what they did, what they obtained, and what methods they used have no similarities. 4. "So in the Big Ten Championship Game, both teams had the other’s signals, both of which were gathered via advanced scouting." - Dan Wetzel The term, "advanced scouting" does not appear once in the NCAA bylaws. Off-campus in-person scouting is prohibited, and the intent of the person relaying information should be recognized. Ohio State and Rutgers coaches allegedly had the intent of stealing signs for that game. Once that information has been obtained, there are no rules against sharing information amongst staffs. If one staff was paid by another to share information, that is another story, but as of right now, we do not have any indication that these signs were not shared for financial gain. 5. "Which would you rather have? Raw cell phone footage that still needs to be broken down, or highly experienced coaches just handing over their work?' - Dan Wetzel Although this has nothing to do with the rules and is just an unrelated opinion question, Dan's downplay of the value of video recordings is misguided at best. If stealing signs were easy in every football match, there would be no need for what Connor Stalions did. However, the environment of a loud stadium, emotions, and other various duties are improperly compared to sitting in a quiet office reviewing film, which, as I stated earlier, can be rewound, slowed, and played repeatedly. If a recording is the same or worse than what coaches get on the field, why do coaches watch All 22 film? It's simple. It is not the same or better than the value of a recording. And even if the recording is low quality, it still can be rendered and improved. 6. "Even if Ohio State and Rutgers acquired Michigan signs via NCAA-legal game film or during game action, it doesn’t matter. Purdue didn’t do that work. The Boilermakers received stolen signs from advanced scouting. They cheated as much as Michigan." - Dan Wetzel Dan is just repeating himself here and using the same wording and reasoning that was easily disproved earlier. 7. "Additionally, the Purdue person receiving the advanced scouting work was almost assuredly, at the very least, an assistant coach. The NCAA investigation, sources say, hasn’t found any proof anyone in Ann Arbor knew how Stalions got so good at deciphering signs. He apparently hid his act." - Dan Wetzel Wow, a lot of speculation and assumed information here that is a poor excuse for journalism. 8. "So why is the NCAA aggressively investigating Michigan but not Purdue and the others? Why is the Big Ten threatening to suspend Harbaugh indefinitely but doesn’t seem to care about anyone else?" - Dan Wetzel Because Jim Harbaugh's staff clearly broke the rules, and there are no rulings stating what the three schools did to be against them. 9. "All we know is some still-unidentified entity hired a still-unidentified private investigator to uncover Stalions' antics in the hopes that the NCAA and the Big Ten would do exactly what they did — fall for the okey doke and naively overreact." - Dan Wetzel We don't know this, and Dan makes an immature accusation with little to no basis. The fact these words are even in this opinion piece should relinquish all of its credibility. 10. "Charlie Baker has been NCAA president since March. Tony Petitti has been Big Ten Commissioner since May. Neither has much experience with this stuff — Baker was a politician, Petitti mostly a television executive." - Dan Wetzel Both were hired and met the qualifications for their jobs. To question their previous employment is ridiculous. 11. "Mostly they listened to football coaches who view one kind of advanced scouting as gamesmanship, and another as a kind of crime. The coaches’ reasoning? Sending around stolen signs and game plans is common practice, so they don’t care. What Connor Stalions did is apparently not so common, so they did care." - Dan Wetzel Charlie Baker was never reported to have been in these meetings with the Big Ten coaches. There is no evidence of the allegations that Tony Petitti had no original thought and folded to the pressure. If anything, reports were made that he disagreed and attempted to calm down the coaches. Yes, this is unprecedented cheating. Obviously, there will be strong reactions. 12. "Football coaches are rarely deep thinkers. They aren’t spending time contemplating law, precedent, ethics or unintended consequences. They just want Jim Harbaugh gone." - Dan Wetzel There are no studies that support this claim, and this is also not their job. 13. "But the same crime is still the same crime, and if anyone took a moment to do their actual job, they’d realize it." - Dan Wetzel Purdue did not break the same rules. Purdue did not break any rules.

I thought that was impressive win
