A few of my cousins played there, but don’t consider them royalty.

They may become 1A’s next Central Catholic or Pioneer, who knows? That’s why they play the game. BTW, I’ve been to Rensselaer more times than I can count.

Last hope? No way, José. As IU has basically come out of nowhere in the college ranks, it can happen in high school as well: DAC Schools, sure there has been a drought, but Crown Point, Lake Central, etc. won’t be down forever NIC/NLC—Penn will always be a force and it now appears Elkhart is ready to give them a run for their money. Mishawaka and Warsaw shouldn’t be ignored. The Fort—no shortage of big schools, will it be Carroll, Homestead, or somebody else? NCC—sure, it’s a great hoops league which means they have the athletes. Will Jeff get good outside their conference? What about Harrison and Kokomo?

I’m actually happy for them. Let’s remember they’re just kids...

Then again, why go out of state? Just play an opponent from a different area: Center Grove-Elkhart Evansville Memorial—Bishop Dwenger Linton-Pioneer South Newton-Indiana School for the Deaf

I’ve never been sold on this year’s Steelers team. KC is it in the AFC. Although the Colts defense has been very good this year, Mahomes will shred them should they meet up in the postseason.

Nice. Honor your own.

I thought I was the only one who talked to myself...

Why just Michigan and Ohio schools? Hi west and play some Illinois schools—Mt. Carmel, New Trier, and many other schools there have very good programs.

Lots of opinions here, liking the banter, but how this all plays out is anyone’s guess.

Great point!

Forest Park Rangers—the Station Speedway Sparkplugs—the Garage or Junkyard (take your pick) Richmond Red Devils—slogan: 48 minutes of Hell Garrett Railroaders—the Junction Angola Hornets—the Hive

Awesome!

C’mon man...they’re classic. I’m not saying I’m a SC fan, I just like the classic look. I also like the ones Miami has been wearing as they are the same style worn in the 80s under Jimmy Johnson when the U was the equivalent of today’s Alabama.

No worries. Hope all is well!

No. Last year’s numbers were very gaudy for him as he was all-Freshman B1G. He has been injured this year. I expect big things him in 2021. Hopefully his little brother will be on the team as well.

One also must consider logistics. Terre Haute is a vertical city and transit time to the new Terre Haute Fighting Hautians High School could take a long time. Maybe they’ll just move down to 4 and potentially 3A, but I think both schools will continue to operate.

West Washington Senators—the Chamber Bishop Dwenger Saints—the Pearly Gates Princeton Tigers—the Den

Of course! But beyond that, who knows what will happen there, new industries could come in, thereby attracting a population influx.

They are good unis. I also like USC’s.

Played at all 3.

I’m still sticking to my cyclical guns, the enrollments will come back in time.

After a great start, this year’s team quickly went off the rails. Why? It wasn’t the offense, but I don’t think the 3 and 4 yard passes were a good idea when we had many deep threats such as David Bell, Rondale Moore and many others. Even Zander Horvath ran the ball well, although King Dourue wasn’t as productive. The defense was again thin as players are still learning Diaco’s 3-4. That brings me to another coach, the big cheese himself, Jeffrey Brohm. Does he still have it? Is his heart still in it? I’m unsure on both fronts and with that being said, his days in West Lafayette could be numbered. Next man up: Brian Brohm? Called hell of game against Iowa who actually had a pretty good season. But are they a package deal? The MAC flavor of the month? Buffalo and Ball State won their respective divisions and I think Buffalo is the better team. But their offense is a little more run-oriented, so I don’t know how well that would be received at Ross-Ade. Then there’s the wild card: Coastal Carolina’s Jamey Chadwell. I don’t know what he’s doing on the Grand Strand, but his Chanticleers are sold on it. Would that fly in the B1G? My choice? Thank you for asking: Tom Herman. My guess is the folks in Austin are overly thrilled at a few of his shortcomings. But here’s why I like him: he’s a midwest guy and can rebuild offenses. Just bring in a defensive mastermind...

The Ring.

Case in point: when I was helping out some of our second graders, some kid showing off for his dad (another coach) speared another player in the head. That player never played again. No, he was not paralyzed, but he and his family made the decision to hang it up. Although I love the game, I think they made the right call.
