San Dimas High School football rules!

Illinois had previously voted to change their football structure from a conference structure with qualifying on a complicated formula to a district structure where teams are assigned to districts (similar to our sectionals) and qualify based on the round robin scheduling of the teams in the district. It barely passed. The most recent proposal restores conferences and expands the number of teams in the playoffs.

Knowing Illinois, it will be heavily taxed...

Isn't that called the 'Big 12 Methodology'? 😁

 

I for one don't care as long as they can put up W's when they get the program established. 

Outscoring the other team--yeah that's how you're supposed to win football games--the things I say sometimes sets us back 100 years...

Sectional 1 should be VERY interesting.

I can see Jeff winning Sectional 1 and I can see them losing their opening game.

Best wishes all.

Have a great day and night and try and stay dry.

Nervous about that already.  My friends at Accu-Weather also speak of impending doom just like DT.  Sectional 1 will be great--I'm picking the Jeff Bronchos with an H...

I see what you did there, Il Duce.

Maybe you need to have a glass of chianti with Hank Himmler, Joey Gobbels, Marty Bormann, and Al Speer...

My only issue is that his defenses have always struggled to stop the pass. It can be argued that Purdue has had subpar DBs, though.

4* TE/WR Maliq Carr is making his decision tomorrow afternoon and Purdue is the heavy favorite.

Part of Brohm's coaching philosophy is to simply outscore the other team.  We did put up big numbers against Vandy and the debacle in Nevada.  Stockpiling weapon on offense is great, but the defense needs to do their fair share, too.

Too busy.

Fountain Central had a 1-8-1 season in 1970.  The coach was not fired then.  I'm not sure how things would go these days.  Next year should be better for Mustangs regardless.

I see what you did there, Il Duce.

5 years later they went 10-1 back to back 

Exactly.  Tell that to the Contraction Overlord.

Contract Facebook, too.

Contraction is the only way to go.

Why on God’s green Earth weren’t they contracted?!?

i demand an investigation!

I heard JMV talk about one in Anderson 

Must be nice, but it's not in Muncie...

Muncie.  That's where the best Greek's is.  Period.

I have to agree with you on Clay.   Their  whole athletic program should be dissolved.  DT you should get on that immediately.

Busy guy he is.  South Newton plays Lake Station nest Friday, I think his head will explode...

Really? I think Eastbrook, Webo, Andrean, Rennsy Central, etc would say otherwise. Those programs are staples in 2A and always a tough out. To say the North rep will go through Royal Central and Walton is pretty arrogant. Just my opinion...

Good opinion, anything can happen.  It’s why the games are played.  Boone Grove and North Newton could also surprise...

Is Prather coming back this year for Morton?  Man,  I think they had Highland beat in OT if they wouldn't have missed the PAT at the end of the 4th Quarter. Morton controlled that 2nd half and was pushing Highland around by the end of the 4th. 

I’m looking forward ti the Sectional—Hobart, Lowell, and Oliver P. Morton should make it interesting to see who will most likely play New Prairie.

C word is inevitable...

I hear the ones in Texas are top flight..build it and they will come..i don't mind giving tax money to see our youth have a little fun in a nice atmosphere.  Downtrodden facilities may deter numbers and we do not want that "C" word to happen!

Have you ever seen the one in Allen, TX?  
 

Unreal.

Thank You , At least we agree on something . 

Yep.

I would have to agree with this statement. 

And I would be very remiss if I didn't chip in with one of my Gipperisms: "everything's cyclical"...

  You could have a high school with 10,000 kids , but what if only 50 went out for football . Would it really be any different than a school that has 5000 students and 50 out for football ? I believe it's more participation numbers than enrollment . 

you, sir, are brilliant...

Yes, but we've seen universities align with conferences without hesitation even if it puts their student athletes to ridiculous travels if it means more cash......

No debate to the quality of play in the MIC for football and basketball.  But demographics are changing and we are seeing quality improve in a number of the HCC schools.  It will be interesting to see where the trend goes over the next 5-10 years.

Quality of play is important and perhaps paramount...but $$'s also matter.

I work in finance--$$ sure as hell does matter.

I'm not really advocating a conference change...just understand DT's point.  I also know AD's have to think beyond football and bball.  Its an interesting discussion when weighing out pros and cons.  The MIC has a strong reputation (well earned) with football and over the years in hoops and track.  Very heavy in those 3 areas.  Typically not as strong in the other sports....and that is why Carmel and CG is typically #1 and #2 each semester in the all sports category.  I believe (opinion only) that the HCC would offer better competition in all sports....and is that good or bad for a Carmel or CG....probably can debate that one both ways.

Football is the revenue generator for the athletic department.....So I understand DT's point about revenue.  I would like to see the MIC travel better....But he's right....it isn't just Pike that travels poorly.  I also believe the HCC would travel better in all sports.

My bias is with the MIC....and I agree with you...love the flexibility of non-conference games and don't want to lose them.  But I can certainly understand why AD's have to look at revenue and cost when aligning with conferences.

There is no such thing as a perfect world as there will always be arguments for and against basically everything.  Sometimes all we can do is let the cards fall where they may.
