    Shelbyville on the brink of Contraction?

    "many" lol...  can you judge "many"?... how do you measure many? 

    I've never had a player tell me they regretted playing football. I've had multiple people come up to me and tell me they regret NOT playing. 

    Our numbers on our team are up, and have been the last four years. This is the first year in like the last ten years that the total number of football players has regressed from the year before (nationally speaking). The number is still higher than any year in the 90s. 

    Glad to hear your numbers are up!  My beef with Chipotle is that some burrito jockeys do not know how to properly roll one...

    So X's and O's,  "Nuts and Bolts", are the only thing that should be discussed regarding Indiana High School football on this forum.  Got it.   You know Gipper if you don't want to read what I or DT type there is this handy "ignore" feature where you can keep yourself in ignorance for the rest of your GID stay.  Go ahead and use it, something tells it wouldn't be the first time for you......

    As for game insights:

    Frankfort at Western Boone:     WEBO names the score, starters will play maybe one quarter.  The Hot Dogs will struggle to to have positive yards on offense, with it looking like their starting QB, and one of their best athletes, will miss his second game.

    Eastern at  Clinton Central:    The 5-0 Comets simply have too much offensive firepower in this HHC contest.  Eastern 48,  Bulldogs 21.

    Delphi at Clinton Prairie:  These teams look like somewhat mirror images of each other.  CP gives up a lot of points but is scoring an average of 41 per contest.  Delphi has a more stout defense, but their offense has struggled.  I'll go with the home team:  Gophers: 28, Oracles 21.

    Rossville at Delphi,  Oct. 1.  -  Looks like a close contest this late in the soccer season between two struggling teams.  The Hornets have struggled to score all season, so I'll take Delphi over Rossville 2-1.

     

     

    Thanks for the tip, feel free to employ it as well.

    I stand corrected: Zionsville plays Hamilton Southeastern this evening.  HSE happens to be nicknamed the Royals, which is a pretty swell handle.  Others include the Mount Vernon Marauders and Tri-County Cavaliers which I consider unique.  As for college ball, I’m a little concerned with tomorrow afternoon’s Purdue-Minnesota tilt for the following reasons: A) Sindelar’s status is unknown, B) Minnesota’s running game could harm the Boilers, and C) Purdue’s relative youth remains a concern

    ?  Why do you hate 2A sized schools?

    1.  Which is preferred, quality or quantity?  Which is better for the sport of Indiana High School football?  Because I'm sorry, in a state where basketball is still king you can't have both.  Indiana is not Ohio, Florida, or Texas.

    2. Correct, I don't.   What is wrong with tackle football going the club route and becoming dissociated with the government schools?

    3. So this place doesn't become an circle jerk echo chamber, which is what you appear to prefer.

     

     

    Political?  In this forum of the GID?  Please elaborate.   The same for your "toning down the rhetoric" comment.  You appear to really be saying "shut up and keep your ideas/comments to yourself if it has the chance to upset the status quo."

     

    Right on cue.  No talk of jet sweeps, safety blitzes, even fumblerooskis or any other type of gadget play.  Got a cool nickname?  Let’s hear it!  What did you think of the Packers-Eagles game last night?  I think the refs were next-level bad, but that’s just me.  Any insight for any games tonight?  I like Lowell over Highland, South Newton or Covington, and Zionsville to come out victorious (but forget their opponent).  That's my contribution to this forum, have a good day.

    No, when it wanders into the weeds of 2A, it's time to move one.

    Pretty much all of these threads go down the same path:

    1.DT wants less football playing schools. Gee this is a high school football forum, I wonder how that will be perceived?

    2. Muda doesn't want government schools. Gee this a high school football forum, I wonder that will be perceived? 

    3. Virtually everyone else wondering why you two post on a high school football forum. 

    This thread has run it's course. It's game day, lets move on. Everyone needs to make sure they're drinking plenty of water today, it's going to be a hot one tonight. 

    They can post all they want, free speech and all.  I just think they’re being a little too political and/or self-righteous.  In their hearts of hearts, I’m sure they mean well, but most posters on here (myself included)  are here for information related to the game, which I have a unrequited love for, as opposed to some of their musings.  Am I telling them to take there talents elsewhere?   No, but a toning down in rhetoric would be a refreshing change.

    Of course it's not up to us... but I for one find it a good discussion point for a message board, even if I don't always agree with @DT and his views/points.

    Fair point.  I just happened to go a little off the deep end when my alma mater became involved.  Although it’s true SN isn’t winning too many, OK—any games right now, I don’t take kindly to outsiders deciding how to run the program.  As I have always maintained, athletic success at SN is cyclical, as it is at any rural school.  We can’t continually add 50+ great athletes  like the big schools.  Games also are a place for community members to come together, and provide many opportunities for student involvement, i. e. bands, cheerleaders, etc.  Athletics plays a big part in the fabric of Kentland, Goodland, and Brook—anybody who wants to take that away needs to consider the whole equation.
