Bosse, Mater Dei, Memorial, VL, Harrison, Reitz, Central, North, Jasper Team with over 1000 students on one side. Smaller schools in another. Too much work for AD to schedule outside of conference? Is why we are locked in current model.

Anyone heard anything about Tigers injuries? I saw info on QB . RB 1 out, maybe some oline? #3 looked to be banged up Friday. That’s rough for the tigers. Looking forward to seeing Panthers vs Tigers hope all are healthy.

I definitely think they can keep it close. Would not be surprised.

I watched a replay of the MD /Tigers game. Any idea why 5 doesn’t get more touches? He looked more fluid and had some success. The run game looks off and 6 isn’t helping himself.

Back on my rant about the travesty thats happening on 41 North. After watching last week game VS Reitz minus Vera and maybe Oxley North had the next 8 better players. Hazelwood is amazing! The offensive line giants, the defensive box as good as I’ve seen from the player perspective. Yet they continue to lose. The play calling is bland and wasteful. I feel bad for those kids. They play really hard. They will beat the bottom half of siac just by talent alone. They have way too much talent for that to be enough.

There is another side of the ball. No one’s talking about the fact Bosse D gave up 52 maybe that’s the problem. Stats are an indicator. Look at Memorial’s D and how many points per game they give up. Teams that are close to the top on both sides of the ball will be teams at the top record wise. If you think they don’t matter that’s being blind to vital information.

I get your points but sometimes you can throw out week one. It’s tough to judge based off 1st game of the season.

Bosse-Jasper. Jaspers ball control offense limits Bosse’s touches Jasper by 10 Central-VL. Central lacks play makers and creativity on offense. VL secondary isn’t very good but it won’t matter in this one. Hunt with a big day and running clock. North-Reitz North won’t lean on their strength upfront. They seem to get away from running the ball and try to throw with a QB who isn’t comfortable. Reitz offense has been below average. Vera should be the QB if they want to be more explosive. If North commits to run the ball it could be close. Reitz by 3 Castle-Harrison The Knights get a nice bounce back game after last weeks close one with Bosse. Harrison looks like a cub team. Castle by as much as they want. Memorial-MD Memorial defense has been outstanding. MD QB has only had success on roll out passes. Once Memorial takes that away what does MD do next? Memorial by 21

Bosse to cover. what’s the over/under lol VL +32 Castle + 28 Memorial + 21 Reitz +7 Does DraftKings take these bets? Need to make my NCAA week one $ back

I’m sure every D coordinator is sweeting trying to figure out how to stop Bosse QB. A quick glance at their stats though looks like the RB and multiple WR are putting up good stats as well. Any team that puts up 40+ on Castle with their 30 coaches and 70 players is legit. Anytime a usually bottom feeder school competes I am all for it. Better for SIAC.

Yup probably so, but it doesn’t take away from what they have achieved so far. The more competitive teams the better.

This is really cool thanks. When was the last time that Bosse was 1st passing and rushing. 1994 😂. Points per game is interesting for both offense and defense. I really think that’s where you see a difference in teams.

I agree it’s the most important. Fisher has been good, but I saw some clips of Wagner at Bosse the last two weeks and he might be special. Paper said he had over 300 yards close to 100 rushing and caught a TD of 60+ yards. Fisher definitely has a better support system but I can’t wait to see the Wagner kid in person.

Xavier Thomas was a game breaker. I agree that Combs was the best player of the last ten years. Vera at QB was one. The kid from Castle looks to have that potential this year. You can win in 1A 2A without one. You can’t in 4a and above. I’m not taking anything away from Memorial this year. They are going to be very good. My point was they are missing one kid who could take them to Indy. Years past they did. Both Combs, Irvin, Brodie had that ability etc. This isn’t a dump on a team post it’s just an opinion on what it takes to have a special year. To add to that Reitz lost early so it’s not a guarantee it’s just a part of what it takes.

I have paid attention. RB1 looks slower than last year. RB2 is faster but runs soft. There is no Combs or Brodie on this team. Ellsperman has played great. He still isn’t them. QB has had success on quick screens and tunnel screens. He has been fine but not able to read defenses . The D has played great. They are yet to be tested in the passing game. Yes this team could win a sectional. It’s going to be difficult after that. I’ve seen every snap. I’m just not delusional. It can still be a good year. Just not a great one.

Castle vs Bosse 27 seems about right. Impressive what Bosse has done with such a small roster, but they can’t compete with the Knights. Harrison vs North another year and it’s still the same, the worst coaching job in the SIAC belongs the the Huskies. D1 talent. Incredible size, speed, rosters size and can’t score a point. Harrison felt like maybe last year was the start to something. That seems wrong now. Tigers vs Bears Memorial seems to lack a true game breaker. It won’t matter until tourney time. They are well coached and play so hard. The Bears look to be years away. Reitz vs Jasper the Panthers are loaded. I hate that I have to watch Jaspers offense another year. Some may like it, but it’s painful for me. VL vs MD VL is above average and will finish around 500. Is this the worst MD team of the last 20 years? I bet they have already started practicing twice a day and if anyone can fix it MG can. But man are the struggling.

Instead of spending the money to fix this, they just moved up start time. It won’t be dark until 4th quarter. I will miss Friday night light!

Why is Vincennes not talked about here as a potential SIAC champion? They beat MD last year. Lost to Reitz by 3. Could have beat Memorial, and close games against North and Castle. Bring back SIAC player of the year at QB and only lost 3 or 4 starters. Seems like a team that’s loaded with returnees and doesn’t get much attention.

All this talk about it. What actually happened at Reitz?

North will have the best oline/dline in siac this year. Big, strong, experienced. If that program can figure it out they could push towards the top.

I agree. I still thinks it’s the third best EVSC job though. Reitz, North, Central, …….Harrison Bosse …Big enough enrollment to get it going If they have the right backing.

Central is looking for another head coach. So many over the last few years! Crazy to think they were at Lucas Oil not that long ago.

MD and Memorial will be less effected. Teams like Central, Bosse , and Harrison who are already struggling in football but could depend on at least having “basketball player athletes” for football could fall further behind. If those kids all end up on the hill. Line play is already an issue now if the skills leave it’s trouble. It hurts the strength of SIAC as a whole.

With the success last year of the Reitz football team and now the basketball team. It feels like Reitz is about to go on a big run. The “transfer portal” will be buzzing straight to the west side. It feels like it’s going to be Panthers then everyone else.

Really thinking about North. 1600 students, parents who are involved, feeder programs. They should run the SIAC. The comment someone made about 500 is so true. This make zero sense.
