SenatorFan where is the faith?  I think we have the team to pull off a big W at Valley.  We have a lot of weapons offensively, and the staff has been mixing those up, which makes us a hard read for the defense.  Im sure Valley is good, but we had no problem with Clarksville, and they battled toe to toe with Charlestown, which on film is the best team I have seen in the area!!  Just saying I like our team and the way we are playing.  Should be a dogfight!  Oh by the way, I plan on taking first place before this is over.  Lol

AT Valley was the deciding factor that caused me to pick Valley. 

I picked Paoli thinking it would jinx them kinda like WWFan is with JQWL switching his pick to us 😂

I plan to stretch my lead before this is over, don’t want to be the speed horse and fade down the stretch. 

@salemalumpresI’ll give up first place gladly for you to be right on the WW v SV game. I just don’t see us at that point yet. Maybe I’m putting too much on the results of the SV v Paoli game. Friday will be here soon enough.

@Bluejacket1Congrats on the turf and good luck with EG. I think the turf is a positive move, wish we had it.

How about a Fri/Sat opening week slate of the defending state champs in each class vs a competitively equal out of state school at Bloomington/WLafayette/Muncie/Terre Haute sites?

infinite wisdom of IHSAA

 

A textbook example of oxymoron right here.

Does anyone see the NCAA ever going back to the “sit out a year” rule? Pretty hard to get the lid closed on Pandora’s Box.

No, I don't. Exactly.

Curt Flood proved many years ago it’s all about $$ and control. It has just taken this many years to trickle down to high school and college athletics. 
If a coach can move from school to school or team to team at will then the student/athlete should have the same freedom. 
It is hypocrisy to require the student/athlete to be held to a “commitment” while allowing a team/coach/school to change their decision/commitment at will. 
The NCAA does not have a legal/moral leg to stand on with their control of an athlete changing schools when the everyday student can change schools much easier. 
The IHSAA can claim they are acting in the best interest of the student/athlete, but we all know that transfers are approved based on financial/political connections.

I  never said the IHSAA would go away.  But they may have competition in the field of  managing high school sports and sponsoring post season tournaments. Is that such a bad thing?

Glad to see you are taking the managerial lead in this exciting endeavor, SenatorFan.   My role as a GID idea man has born fruit again.

 

No competition is never a bad thing. Usually leads to improvement in the end product.

This alternative idea for another high school sports governing body in Indiana, has been attempted before. And while it did garner some support, it eventually did lose interest. It did accomplish to have loads of discussion, before coming to a screeching halt. The big supporters wanted to nominate and install the famous Bobby Plump, of the 1954 Milan High School Indiana, State Championship Basketball team, as the first commissioner.

We start out as a football only organization and establish sane, sensible rules regarding conferences and membership.
We create a fair and equitable playoff system that values regular season performance AND includes both private and public schools.

We pay officials a reasonable rate per game that attracts both veteran and new officials. 
We listen to member schools and implement improvements that have grassroots support that put the athletes and member schools best interest first. 

We recruit the top 16 teams in each class to join us. Two of the class 6A schools are looking for a home right now.

We deliver an exciting product for the fan on the field. 
We obtain corporate sponsorship on both a local and statewide level that allows member schools to retain 100% of all gate proceeds during the regular season and playoff runs. 
We offer monetary rewards to each school as they advance through the playoffs from the corporate funds. 
We present the fans and schools the opportunity to participate in the First Harrison Bank Sectional 48 Championship @ CORYDON, the Harrahs Regional 4 Championship @ Anderson, the Toyota Southwestern SemiState Championship @ Evansville, and the Indianapolis Colts Indiana State Championship @ Lucas Oil Stadium

Once we prove we can deliver a quality football product then we can work on other sports. 
 

Again all suggestions welcome for this slightly tongue in cheek idea. Who knows we surely can present a better product than the current system. 🏈🏆🥇

That won't be me.  Membership in the IHSAA is completely voluntary the last time I checked.  But because it has a monopoly on the running of high school sports in this state many believe it is some kind of government organization.

 

So your saying if certain schools wanted to form their own organization they could travel at will, hire and pay officials more, sanction their own tournament, define classes fairly, and everyone could be happy? AND the IHSAA would just disappear?

I make a motion we form the GIDHSAA and accomplish all the above. Do I hear a second?
 

@Bobref is hereby nominated as Director of Officiating

@DE and @temptation are in charge of determining class divisions

@JustRules will be in charge of travel limitations or lack thereof

@Muda69 is in charge of the entire boondoggle

@WWFan is in charge of enrolling member schools

The floor is now open for additional nominations. 
 

Where should we hold our first convention?

😂🤷🏼‍♂️🤦

We need to hold the media accountable as well. They are complicit in this BIG LIE.

What's sad, as a Bears fan, is that you guys are debating who should be on the Mt. Rushmore, and none of those guys have played for the Bears in 50 years. I'd like to know if any other fan base has guys on their Rushmore who haven't played in as long????

Probably the Cowgirls 😂

Landry, Staubach, White, Dorsett/Smith

Smith is questionable due to his being part of the Jerry Jones era. Just sayin’

Why?  They, along with LSU, are probably the dirtiest teams in the country NOT named Kentucky…

Because, having been born and raised in KY. Having heard and seen all the junk that UK has done over the years. I can say there is no program dirtier than UK. No matter who the opponent might be I will always root for whoever UK is playing. Glad I moved to IN in 1977 and have been an IU fan ever since. 

Count me as an Auburn fan starting at 1pm. 

Yes!!! To have them get beat at home, with the announcers rooting for them, and in the way it finished. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving owner, team, or fans.

I hope the Bears consider Eric Bieniemy and Byron Leftwich for head coach.

 

More than likely they will hire the Chargers head coach. It would fit their M.O. 😂🙄
