@Muda69 I reviewed the link you provided. Found it interesting that since 1994 there were 28 occasions you “beat” your opponent by 35+ points. Several opponents such as Turkey Run, Tri-West, Lapel, etc. you did it multiple times. Once you even scored 77 points to their 0. Does this lay heavy on you conscious? Is this why you have numerous losing seasons because you have influenced your school to play fair? Does your school take a knee when facing an overmatched opponent? The record indicates otherwise. Tongue firmly in cheek for those that can’t tell otherwise.

I was actually being facetious. Typed it in between appointments and didn’t make that clear. I’m well aware that your school does not run up the score. Have a lot of respect for your program. @PLAC FAN amused me last week with some of his posts, that is why I responded as I did.

It was close, wasn’t it?

Most Points Scored 2 Teams 161 - Perry Meridian 83 and Decatur Central 78 just recently posted on GID by Coach Nowlin. 2013 was the year.

0-0 after 1st quarter WW vs Eastern Pekin

Absolutely love it! Awesome way to break the news.

Another game I would like to be at but can’t. Should be a good one.

Think that is going to be a super good game. If I had a clone one of us would go to this game.

I too will be at the WW vs. Eastern game. Should be on WSLM 1220 AM. Hope Bobby Stevens runs for 250+ tonight! Some one who has witnessed a practice says he is quicker than last year!

Hope I'm not stealing anybody's thunder, we still have a few hours before kick-off. Just did a quick review of all the picks submitted so far. Crawford vs Switz Tied 6-6 E. Greene vs Valley Valley leads 8-4 Madison vs. Paoli Tied 6-6 Mitchell vs. Edgewood Edgewood leads 10-2 Perry vs Tell Perry leads 11-1 (the lone vote for Tell was a Perry fan!) WW vs Eastern WW leads 12-0 C-Town vs Silver Creek C-town leads 10-2 C-ville vs Scottsburg Scottsburg leads 8-4 Corydon vs B-town B-town leads 10-2 Salem vs N Harrison Salem leads 9-3 Looking forward to a great evening of football. Good luck to everyone, see you at the game sometime this year.

No because he never has a positive thought about football, at least not since 1978.

A few years ago I seem to remember that Sagarin had Pike 0-6 yet ranked in the top 20 statewide due to the killer strength of schedule they faced.

Appreciate the feedback. Gives a new appreciation for what the officials do. One of my favorite things about GID.

IO, that's interesting, thanks for sharing. I've always wondered once you are a coach or an official are you able to watch a game through a fans eyes anymore? One other question when you are calling a game which involves a "superstar" do you ever get caught up in that individuals performance, such as thinking, Wow! I'm probably never going to see anything like this again?

Opposing viewpoints I'm good with when it comes to run vs. spread, private vs. public, etc., Ridiculous yes, entertaining up to a point. I don't understand why a person takes the time to read GID, respond to different threads, send in support to keep GID going, even suggest that GID sell subscriptions at one point and then spend their time and energy to bash high school football and constantly campaign for it's demise at high schools all over the state. That blows my mind. Just walk away if it bothers you that much. Nuff said!

It's probably a little conference bias on both threads. That's why they play the games, let's see what happens Friday. Really looking forward to this season getting underway. May the best team win! Is Eastern Greene the sleeper in Sectional 48? was all their off-season noise much ado about nothing?

I was wondering the same thing about the people picking Eastern Greene after the dumpster fire offseason they had. Oh well that's why we have this forum. Opinions! that's why they play the games. Otherwise we could just have them ship the trophy to Campbellsburg and celebrate our undefeated season!! 😂

Aw c'mon Coach you gotta admit that one was funny!

So is this going to be moved to the Pick Em site? Can anyone join?

Don’t know about unicorns and rainbows so much. Never thought I would be agreeing with Muda on most topics he posts about. As a former foster parent who has witnessed the devastating effect that this alleged behavior has on a young persons life I feel compelled to respond. After all the recent examples (Penn St, Michigan St, etc) of abuse and the environment of “protect the institution” I say rip the covers off and expose the behavior. How many times do we have to hear “I told someone in authority and nothing was done”. I’m sick of people being able to continue this behavior because someone didn’t want to risk ruining someone’s reputation since he/she is one of “us”. I understand there are people looking for a payday and that they will lie to achieve it. Yet in the overwhelming majority of these situations the allegations are true and other victims finally come forward. In the meantime the perpetrators continue their grooming of potential victims and/or move on to a new job/school and repeat their diabolical deeds. All the while leaving a trail of scarred for life human beings behind. I do not for a minute believe it is the responsibility of GID to serve as judge/prosecutor/or jury. I do believe we have a responsibility to report such allegations and follow them through the justice system to a just end. If the allegations are false then we should give equal space to clearing the good name of the accused. If the allegations prove to be true then we should publicize the behavior in such a way that the guilty never be allowed to have an opportunity to strike again. Not only in Indiana but in ANY other location. Once their debt to society is paid I will be the first person to help them return to a productive career. Although as a very wise man said “Trust but verify”. If one single young person in a school/church/neighborhood is spared the agony of abuse, I believe it is worth throwing open the windows and doors to the light of discussion. I don’t know either person in this alleged incident. Neither do I live near them or this community. I’m just sick of history repeating itself due to “seeing something yet not saying something” or “I just couldn’t believe he/she would be capable of doing that”. Thank you for allowing me to express my feelings and beliefs. Trust you will allow me to continue to be a part of this forum. God Bless All.

Maybe it has to do with family, former schoolmates, coaching buddies, etc. 6 degrees.

Amen! Preach it brother. Although it is not going to change the mindset of most folks with their "little brother" attitudes. That's why it took a Jack Kiser to finally break through the "glass ceiling" for Mr. Football. Still folks were on here claiming Notre Dame made a mistake recruiting him. That's why Caleb Murphy's opportunity at IU thrills me, I've watched this young man develop over the last few years. I've been privileged to see him learn from mistakes, celebrate his successes, and integrate himself into a cohesive unit that thrills us fans in the stands. I don't have to claim neutrality because I'm a fan, a fan of a small school in the middle of a cornfield that has faced every challenge thrown at them. A fan of quality football being played every Friday night all over Indiana who happens to think that 1A has just as much quality as any class. A fan of young men from all classes of football advancing to the next level of competition, or moving on to military service, or taking positions of leadership in corporate America and excelling because of the values they learned while involved in football. Like standing shoulder to shoulder and beating your competition, learning to trust your teammate has your back and will hold that block or make that tackle, knowing your coach has put together a game plan that will maximize your strengths and exploit the other teams weaknesses, and perhaps most of all to be able to adjust your strategy mid-game and believe that on any given night anything can happen. I'm a fan of 1A football because at this level it seems every one gets a chance regardless. It is stinking thinking to believe small school means small talent. There are plenty of 4A-6A schools that would have wanted nothing to do with playing Pioneer, Linton, etc. from 1A. Heck some of them don't want anything to do with WW. It would be very interesting to see the champions from each class play one extra game each year. Maybe rotate it each year between classes. IE: 6A vs.1A, 5a vs. 2A, 4A vs. 3A, next year 6A vs. 5a, 4A vs. 3A, 2A vs. 1A, next year 6A vs. 3A, 5A vs, 2A, 4A vs. 1A and so forth. I would be willing to bet the coaches of 5A & 6A would be the first to speak against it. 1A is where it's happening! Rant over Coaches coach, Players play, Fans cheer

At home (WW) the ONLY choice is the ribeye sandwiches from our concessions. Often imitated, never equaled. All other restaurants are 15+ minutes away and can not compete with our sandwiches. When traveling to Paoli or Springs Valley I stop in Paoli at Porkys BBQ before the game. Springs Valley also requires a stop at West Baden Hotel for a hand dipped ice cream cone. Mitchell is a good excuse to go to Spring Mill Inn for the buffet. Perry Central I have to stop at Schwartz’s Amish Restaurant. Man I’m hungry, when does football start?

The Contraction Czar, resistance is futile. You will be assimilated, strike that, contracted!
