    Wrong HHC; Lame joke also.

    My bad, I thought the Hoosier Heritage (as opposed to the Hoosier Heartland) Conference was being referred to.  It wasn't a joke as conference affiliations are much more than just football teams.  Back in the day, I had to go to remote outposts such as Delphi, Rossville, and Crown Point High Schools for sports other than football on weeknights.  I still was National Honor Society, but it took a lot of work...

    Is your point not that a coach offering POW's is killing football at other levels in the state of Indiana because players go to IU and you did state that some of those guys "would never see the light of day" at IU?  In my previous statement I didn't accuse you of anything.  I just stated that a student athlete decides where they attend school and play ball.  And if they choose to go to IU and "not see the light of day" instead of going and getting on the field action at a DII, DIII, or NAIA school then good for them.

    Football aside (GASP!!!!!), IU does have some pretty good academics....

    This is just not the case.  They absolutely do change.

    Once again, it is not Tom Allen's responsibility to monitor the success of Indiana small college football.  Furthermore, if IU continues to get better, one could argue that the popularity of football in this state would grow, and eventually attracting more players that could play small college football.  Therefore, in the future Tom Allen may in fact be having an extremely positive impact on small college football.

    Absolutely.  I see nothing wrong with his tactic ("you're pretty good, but...").  DePauw will get their kids, Hanover will get their kids, Wabash will get their kids, even Notre Dame and Purdue will...

    This has to be one of the most inane comments ever typed on this gridiron digest.

    Unquestionably.  Schools like BSU need more than just one vital cog, they massive linemen on both sides of the ball, other skill position players (QB mostly), the second coming of Brad Maynard on special teams, and (obviously) a well-seasoned coach--we're talking Carolina dry rub!!!  Maybe a demi-glaze...

    They definitely overachieved in what was a “down” year for Mr. State Farm. The real question is whether, now that they have found a decent defense and a running game, this was an aberration, or the beginning of an age-related decline in his skills.

    Spot on.  Aaron began to show his age, but the other Aaron (Jones) looked to be the back of the future.

    IHSAA commissioner Bobby Cox retires

    Commissioner Cox told Network Indiana that he was most proud of establishing Unified sports teams that allows students with disabilities to compete in high school athletics.

    I’m so happy with that.  Football is very important, we all know that, but this whole sports dynamic is for the kids and not us. Sure, it’s fun to draw up maps and postulate scenarios that border on the insane, but it’s really about making them better people through sport.
