    I would keep the guy they have at Central.  Consolidation is tough enough.  Why go out and bring in an unknown.  I am not sure why some corporations consolidate and change everything and others stick with their original school

    Anderson closed Highland and Madison Heights and kept everything Anderson

    Kokomo closed Haworth and it stayed Kokomo

    East Chicago closed Roosevelt and Washington into EC Central

    Mich City closed Elston and merged with Rogers and went back to M City which is how everyone knew Elston

    SOuth Bend closed Central and LaSalle stayed with everything the same

    I am going to miss the Blue Blazers because that was Elkhart for so long

     

    I like the Coachmen as a nod to the RV industry.

    Soooo thankful for e learning days. I too think it is shaping up to be a nasty Winter. 

    My guess--I never believe the hype, but I think this year is different.

    Yeah I woke up to 15 degrees today, here in Green Bay....one of these packer games is gonna be a nasty one I think. It feels like we are a month ahead of schedule for winter and if that’s true January is going to be very rough and very cold 

    Cold here, too.  Just 29 here, but for early November it’s much colder than usual.  This winter could be a bad one...

    I look forward to it.  A lot of my friends are Badger fans and I’m sure I’ll be in the thick of it.

    I’ve been to enemy stadiums a lot before.  Heck, I even walk don’t the streets of Chicago in Packers gear.  But the latter is an easy one: “1985 was a long time ago”, “what’s Mitch’s QBR”

    Good luck! I've heard that's not a friendly place to be!

    Brohm said in his presser this week he does not expect Sindelar back this year. He didn't rule it out, but said he didn't expect it. I would think it would be nice to have, but given his injury history, would he even hold up? 

    I don’t think it will be as hostile as it would be against Michigan and Minnesota.

    Gipper, as long as you wear a Packers hat or something, you will be fine there. 🤣

    I have never seen such a star-crossed season. I didn't even know how to react when Plummer went down. It was beyond "are you kidding me?" because there have been so many others. I think it was more like "well of course he is hurt." O'Connell has looked decent in limited time. Odds are they won't get a bowl game anyway, so hopefully they can beat Northwestern and keep the bucket in West Lafayette. 

    I’ll be at the Wisconsin game.  Looks like me against 87,000 red wearing drunks jumping around...

    Seen a thing. Don’t know if it’s real....

     

    Bob Stoops???

    Stoops would be that big time name 

    Very true, but I thought it was Mark Stoops from UK.   I also can’t help but wonder how happy Lane Kiffin is at Florida Atlantic.  Are they even FBS?

    Thoughts about Tom Allen and the Florida State job?

    https://www.si.com/college/indiana/football/indiana-football-concern-tom-allen-florida-state-opening/

    Looks like a raise is coming to him at Indiana.........

    https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2019/11/04/iu-football-coach-tom-allen-line-pay-raise-athletic-director/4160874002/

    I didn't realize this (from the article)

    His 17 wins (and counting) over his first three seasons are the most for an Indiana coach in the post-World War II era.

    He is the lowest paid coach in the Big Ten at $1.8M/yr

    (Sorry if already covered in the IU thread)

     

     

    Although I was being somewhat facetious in my linking  Allen to the Noles, it would be best for IU to keep him.  Rutgers is now the lapdog, let IU eat at the adult table.
