Whoa! That took a sharp left turn. He was asking a question, not making a statement. I guess it's good just to be able to support a little ole 1A team in the middle of a cornfield and only have to travel 1 hour and 15 minutes to our most distant away game. Oh well, carry on. It's just a game.
Good Luck to the Boilers in the B1G tourney except should IU make it to the finals. A real longshot for sure. Personally I think it will be an all Michigan final, but would love to see an all Indiana final.
4 in a row! I'm getting light headed in this stratosphere of success. Can we finally have a B1G tourney breakthrough? It's good to actually enjoy listening to a game again!
The age old question, how would you seed fairly? What would be the criteria for qualifying for the playoffs? We've been arguing it for years and still can't agree on a solution. Classes, clusters, public, private, etc. it's not fair to somebody. Still waiting on Moses to come down off the mountain with the commandments of fair play.
I agree with Bobref, perhaps they have found brutal is not conducive to being healthy when it comes to the playoffs. I personally admire them for testing themselves against the best competition. Just think they are fine tuning to get the most return on the investment.
So would it be OK for (insert your favorite team) to go 0-9 in the regular season and then run through the playoffs and win a championship? I think every school has fans that would be OK with that. Imagine a 1A school that plays 5A and 6A schools all year then handles everyone they meet on the way to celebrating at LOS. Worth it?
From a distance, it looks like "the new broom sweeps clean". Or to put it another way, "It doesn't have to make sense. I was hired to bring about change, so change we will have." For the sake of the SB parents and students hope it works!
Are you counting Ben Davis and Chatard as south? He told us that 7 of the 10 are north schools. Also he told me that Warren Central which I had as #9 wasn't on the list. I still think you hit more than I did. 😊
Penn, Columbus East, Snider, Lawrenceburg, Jimtown, Brownstown, Carmel, Linton, Warren Central, Reitz. I stayed with the list I had prior to your response. Have only been following Indiana HS football since mid eighties.
Is that light at the end of the tunnel? This is the right time for them to go on a run. 4 wins in a row and make some noise in the B1G tourney. Lord, do I dare get my hopes up?
Don't have a dog in this fight, but it sure does make an interesting thread. As we are trained to say in the financial business, past results are not an indicator of future success. Would that every school had the enthusiastic community support that GS enjoys.
DK, I sincerely do appreciate ALL you do. Thanks for taking all that greek to me computer talk and making it respond to my clicks.
also how do I become a supporter/sponsor?
For those old enough to remember "A Season On The Brink" we finally caught another fish. Probably too late for anything but the NIT. Just frustrating that this team can have the wins against top 25 teams and then put a losing streak together like they did. SMH
I know it was probably consensual and all that. Just seems odd that a man worth $6 billion dollars can't find a willing partner without paying someone. In light of the fact that he may have fathered a child by his 39 year old girlfriend maybe $79 was a bargain. I'm definitely biased toward his organization but it sure looks like he was being sneaky. Spygate, Deflategate, Zippergate. Once a cheater, always a …….
Kind of like hiring a community organizer from the streets of Chicago to run the country. Whoops! did I just say that? Sorry. Banish me to the OOB turf.
Campbellsburg to Sheridan was a trek a few years ago. And it rained with the wind blowing toward the visitors side. Uphill both ways! We got trounced.
I did get to witness what it looks like for a community to embrace a program and support it. The fans and boosters treated us well until kickoff, did I mention we got trounced, then they shook our hands and thanked us for coming. Wished us well and a safe trip home.
