  1. It is not a foul to break the huddle with more than 11 players under the high school code. The substitution rule requires that a player who is being replaced begin to leave the field within 3 seconds of being replaced. He is considered as having been replaced when the incoming substitute gets to the huddle, assumes a position in the formation, or communicates with a teammate. If the replaced player fails to do so, it’s a dead ball illegal substitution foul, 5 yds. If the replaced player begins to leave timely, but doesn’t get off the field in time, it’s a live ball illegal substitution foul, also 5 yds.
  2. Unfortunately, I can’t. You need a Hudl account. If you have one, I can share it with you. But there was a clip from the live stream on the Indiana High School Football Fans Facebook page that shows it well enough. I’ll try to find it. The person who posted that clip was extolling the virtues of the DB who dealt out the “big hit.” Unfortunately, those Sports Center hits on defenseless receivers are fouls at the high school level.
  3. I have seen the Hudl video. Sorry to have to say, but the play by that DB was actually a foul for unnecessary roughness against a defenseless receiver. Since time expired during the down, there should have been an untimed down after half the distance enforcement.
  4. Gonna make it kind of difficult to argue at the TRO hearing that the head coaches’ absence on game day causes “irreparable injury,” requiring an injunction.
  5. After he skulled that kick try, I was shocked when he drilled that field goal in the last minute to give them the lead.
  6. This is why you don’t go to coaches for your rules information. First, and most obviously, one of the requirements for offensive pass interference is that there actually be a legal forward pass during the down … which there obviously wasn’t here. So, not throwing the flag for OPI was not a “mistake by the officials.” Secondly, the video I saw showed the receiver and the DB lock up initially when the receiver came out to block/pick him. But contrary to what you quoted the Coach as saying, the DB was not attempting to fight through the pick. After the initial contact, the receiver tried to run past the DB, who grabbed and restricted him as he was trying to run past him. That video supports the “garbage call.”
  7. If either team shares their Hudl video with the IFOA, I’ll make it a point to look at the play.
  8. There were no unsportsmanlike conduct fouls on either team, which would include a foul for excessive celebration. There were several personal fouls, all of them for late hits, except one for an illegal block below the waist, and one for targeting.
  9. I discussed each of those fouls with the crew in the postgame debrief. I thought the crew was spot on with all of them. As good an officiating performance as I’ve seen this year.
  10. The Snider @ Mishawaka game was everything you could ask for in a high school game. I was on the Snider sideline as that kid nailed the 45 yarder at the buzzer. Pandemonium!
  11. One of the better high school games I’ve seen in awhile. Both teams left it all on the field. And, I might add, the officiating was a pleasure to watch.
  12. It’s worse than that. Veteran’s Day. Courts are closed. If you think that was a coincidence …. As I said, this is going to get nasty very quickly … like immediately.
  13. And I’m betting there’s a gaggle of lawyers camped out on a friendly judge’s doorstep with the injunction papers already drafted. This is going to get really nasty, really quick.
  14. Game time temp. should be about 40, with light winds from the North. A dry track. Playoff football weather!
  15. Signs are pointing to a close ballgame. I hope so. Steele can be a great atmosphere. Will Snider travel well? Start time has been pushed back to 7:30.
  16. Interesting. So many comments calling for a Snider win by multiple scores. Sagarin has the Cavemen a 1 pt. favorite, which includes the 1.8 pt. home field advantage. Calpreps also favors Mishawaka. PROJECT A MATCHUP neutral field [2023] Mishawaka (IN) 31 (58%), [2023] Snider [R. Nelson] (Fort Wayne, IN) 28 (42%)
  17. Just curious. At some places that have the flashing lights I’ve seen notices posted reassuring people that the lights are designed so that they are not a threat to trigger people with seizure disorders. Frankfort have anything like that?
  18. So, it turns out that Ohio State is not the snitch. But who is? https://www.on3.com/news/ohio-state-ryan-day-no-known-connections-michigan-sign-stealing-scandal/# Michigan sign-stealing allegations: NCAA notifies Big Ten no connection between Ryan Day, family with investigation by:Griffin McVeigh•11/06/23• griffin_mcveigh Read In App According to Ross Dellenger of Yahoo!, there are “no known connections” between Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, his family, and the private investigation firm looking into the Michigan sign-stealing scandal. The NCAA was the one to notify the Big Ten of the news on Monday afternoon. “The NCAA notified the Big Ten on Monday that there are no known connections between Ohio State head coach Ryan Day or his family and the conference’s investigation into Michigan, senior officials at both the association and conference told Yahoo Sports,” Dellenger said in his report. A report from The Washington Post stated an “outside firm” provided information to the NCAA about Michigan stealing signs, bringing this scandal to light. Chris Balas of On3’s The Wolverine went to report that Day’s brother, Timothy, and someone associated with another one of his brothers, Christopher, were apparently central to the information becoming public. One apparently runs a private investigation firm in Manchester, New Hampshire, where Day is from. Dellenger stated the Big Ten and Commissioner Tony Petitti sought clarity on the matter from the NCAA, only for it to be confirmed Day nor his family members had any kind of connection to the “outside firm.” This is far from the last twist in the Michigan sign-stealing scandal but for now, the connection to Day, his family, and the Ohio State program has been put to rest.
  19. Has there been any credible reporting of what happened to the information Stalions and his minions obtained through their “advance scouting?” I assume he wasn’t using it to play fantasy football.
