  1. #1 seems like the most obvious thing ever! Seriously, I wonder what IC's motivation would be for not signing off on the transfer?? Seems extremely petty from an outsiders perspective #6 - Always thought this was the most under-rated part of the movie. As a Coach, you got to own up to the fact you totally blew it. His reaction and facial expression after he sent the play call in tells the story. Coach totally blew the end of the game and blamed the kids for it.
  2. Why was Indian Creek protesting the transfer?? Why not just grant it?
  3. No idea on how this all was handled or went down - but the IHSAA hypocrisy on allowing/not allowing transfers is comical. They (the IHSAA) are in a tough spot no doubt - but in some instances when the transfers we CLEARLY athletic driven - the IHSAA just happens to turn a blind eye. Then- you have this Indian Creek case...and again, if what is reported is true...like, seriously??
  4. I understand Memorial took it to them week 1 - and I may be greatly underestimating the Reitz Panthers - but a Jasper victory tonight would not shock me in the least.
  5. I wish I knew how to embed videos , but I'm not that tech savy. But we had a really bad one this past Saturday on a fumble recovery...ball was loose (a clear fumble- that part was not disputed), we jumped on it, they jumped on it, we jumped on it again. Somehow, the side judge had ruled one team had possession while the ball was still rolling around. Very confusing.
  6. Lots of games left to play - but North Posey might have something to say about that this year.
  7. Miner Pride go?? I always looked forward to his write-ups of all things Miner football...hopefully he is OK.
  8. So- any discussion/moves to Saturday kickoffs as of yet??
  9. Sweet...I wasn't looking forward to driving down to wherever Kentucky lol
  10. I'll just say this out loud - Jasper looks pretty legit. Think the SIAC better be on notice.
  11. What is good for one is not always good for another. Some schools have multiple athletes all over the place during the summer- so really there preseason and acclimation to the heat/hitting truly does come on August 1. Some might find it advantageous to get a "dress rehearsal" of sorts before the real lights come on. Regardless of how you handle yours- I think it is a disservice to call it "worthless" - imagine being one of those JV players/tweeners and thinking your time or risk of injury isn't that important. I think someone said earlier - just have an intra-squad. I don't believe it is required to have a scrimmage.
  12. That is quite an impressive coaching staff Nick has put together. Do you happen to know how many them are in the school building and/or what positions they hold?? I know I that Nick is the AD …
  13. Not sure on who you all listed- but we should return 7 starters on both sides of the ball- if academics/eligibility/specialization gonna be “basketball and baseball” stardom doesn’t get in the way lol…(insert eyeroll emoji)
  14. Correct on Schroeder- incorrect on Arroyo. He was a junior last year.
  15. Ok I’ll try and respond to all these with one post: 1. I believe the IFCA has tried to push forward “only seed the top 2” in each sectional…which is better than nothing- but still kind of the lazy way out. 2. As far as closed conferences and no common opponents- you simply have to set seeding criteria and go with it. It may leave some “head-scratchers” - but ultimately it’s better than 1-9 being in the Championship game while 8-1 goes home. In wrestling- if head to head and no commons, you go to past performance (if applicable- Past State placer)- obviously this wouldn’t happen for football. Then win %, etc… Football would need to set their own- but it could follow something similar. 3. I honestly have no idea what the obstacles are from seeding- except the fact that half of the football coaches don’t want it because they could “luck out” and get the “good draw” or whatever. To me I just want some value to a good regular season…. Sorry for the choppy messages/response- trying to type on a smartphone
  16. OMG - Mr. 32 and I agree on a subject - I have for years called this the "hallway test" ! Wrestling does it every year. It.is.really.not.that.hard
  17. Of course ...more students = more $$ . I get that. Anyone on message boards will pick apart any little thing - but I think the point is pretty clear as far as advantages p/p's have over their public counterparts - thus my feelings for just an "auto-bump" and be DONE with the success factor. Oh....AND SEED THE D#@$ SECTIONALS ALREADY! And none of this "only top 2" bologna - do the entire thing - GIVE SOME CREDENCE to a good regular season.
  18. Um...the same advantages that every p/p has over their public school counterparts. Controlled enrollment, socioeconomic factors, parental support - "clearinghouse issues" as I've read somewhere else on this thread (I like to call it the "hallway test). Do we really need to state them every time this argument gets brought up??
  19. But wait ...what if they haven't had any success in football?? You would still move them up?? Of course you would because you realize they have built-in advantages over their public counterparts. Again - it really is THAT simple.
  20. Of course it can be - but my point in my original post is that during these 11X11 "competitions" - someone most always takes it over the edge.
  21. Not to hijack this thread - but the title of it reminded me that we are almost to my "favorite" (SARCASM) part of the football season - the PLAY TO THUD/QUICK WHISTLE portion of the summer with these 11X11 scrimmages or whatever you want to call them Some annoyances to try and avoid for you new coaches - or advice for coaches that just don't get it: 1. This is NOT the Super Bowl 2. Your actions (Coaches) a lot of times will "fuel" the problems that will arise in the scrimmage. (Hooting/hollering, chest-bumping, etc...) 3. Football is already a combative and emotional sport, don't egg it on by inappropriate actions - AND, if you have a player taking it over the edge, remove him/her until they understand no trophies are handed out in June/July 4. As you can probably tell, I DESPISE these things cause I don't really think football can be played at THUD level...someone (either an RB lowering his shoulder) or a safety running full speed downhill will start it...then the next play someone else has to get it back, and on and on. - That said, I know they are not going away - so here is to hoping everyone stays healthy and understands the purpose of these things.
