At the risk of being told “be careful what you ask for; you might get it,” I’d like to hear how people thought the officiating crew did on the Mishawaka game. My younger brother is the linesman on that crew, and I’m looking for some ammunition to use over the holidays. 😉

What he said.

21-7 Lawrenceburg, 4min 47 sec to go in 3rd.

We’re just going to have to agree to disagree. Let me be clear. I’m not saying it either was or wasn’t a fumble. I’m saying the Hudl video is inconclusive. If this were NFL replay, they would say the call on the field “stands,” i.e., on the basis of the video, the call on the field can be neither reversed nor confirmed.

I’ve seen both this clip and the sideline Hudl view. Neither is helpful. You can’t see most of the runner’s body on the end zone view, and the sideline view is from the opposite side of the field. The runner’s body is between the camera and the football. The one thing I did notice was that the linesman is coming in about to make a very emphatic “down” signal, and he had a better view than either of the video angles. I don’t think there’s much of a controversy here.

Nope.

Actually, I was texting with my daughter about the game. She’s the one who came up with that.

Dannie’s rule! Little Giants drool!

Cannot make that call from a still photo. That’s clip #130 of the Hudl video? It hasn’t been shared with the IFOA yet, or I’d have access to it. PM me if you can share it with me, and I’ll give you the e-mail I use for Hudl. Better yet, have the coaching staff share it with the IFOA.

From a Facebook post: What do you do when about three to four inches of snow covers your football field on the day you are hosting a Regional? For the Southridge Raiders, you put out a call for help. After the word went out on Facebook, an army of snowblowers, shovels, and more showed up to help get the field cleared off. Southridge Raider Football Team will take on the Lawrenceburg Tigers for the 3A IHSAA Regional Contest on Raider Field @ 5:00 PM EST.

If you play cover 1 or cover 0 against them, he can kill you with the scramble on pass plays.

Closer this time, but the Eagles take down Iggy 28-7. Next up: the Mentor Cardinals (alma mater of the great Mitchell — don’t call me Mitch — Trubisky). Calpreps has the Eagles as a 19 pt. favorite to punch their ticket to the final four. Like every day, today is a great day to be an Eagle!

I haven’t seen Chatard this year, but I saw West Lafayette last night. Someone’s going to have to score some points to beat them. They are balanced. They go no huddle, hurry up. They are fast and their QB is very accurate with both the short pass and the deep ball. They have as sophisticated a passing attack as I have seen at the high school level, with their route combinations and play action. Multiple formations, motion and shifting. They are going to be a handful.

I think the phrase that fits is “statistically insignificant.”

Heard a guy on the radio today say “If the Packers don’t play Jordan Love in at least 4 — preferably 6 — games this season, it’s GM malpractice.” They have to decide on his option year. His solution: trade Rogers, knowing with his contract, you’re not going to get much back for him.

They threw tortillas on the field. 😂🤣

Actually, there is no uniform NF rule. It merely states: “By state association adoption, a point differential may be established whereby if one team has gained the established point differential, the game shall be terminated. A state association may also establish guidelines to use a running game clock when the point differential is reached.” So, each state fashions their own “Mercy Rule.”

My daughter is a Depauw alum. Been to this game several times. Love everything about this game, including the rich history of Bell heists. My favorite is “Operation Frijoles,” which has to be one of the greatest college pranks in history. https://www.wabash.edu/news/story/3071 First went to the Bell game in November 1969 as a high school senior.

From a Facebook post this morning: Last night at the Fall Sports Banquet at Griffith, head football coach Rob Robinson announced his resignation. Robinson spent 3 years as head man at GHS, going 5-3, 4-6 and 5-6 in the 2022 season. Robinson was previously head coach at Hammond and Hammond Gavit high schools.

Absolutely! If only.

I enjoyed my opportunity to vote against him Tuesday.

Not familiar with it. Can you hum a few bars?

No disrespect to this gentleman, or to chain crew members everywhere. But when I was working, when we met with the chain crew pregame and heard, “yeah, we’ve been doing this a long time,” I cringed. Often, those guys were the hardest to work with, since they had their own way of doing things.
