I was surprised to see that, too. No disrespect to Whiteland.

Calpreps Project a Matchup says Whiteland would beat Elder by 3 pts. on a neutral field.

If they both win out, then the winner of the ACC championship game goes to the playoff, and that’s the end of it. So, this game won’t matter, then. The chief accomplishment here is that the Irish now know that they can go toe to toe with them. That will stand them in good stead. It also is the first really big game Kelly has won in quite a while. So, it gets that monkey off his back. No doubt a really big win for the Irish. But it merely puts them in position to cash in. They have to finish the season now.

I’ve seen Merrillville twice this year. They have major size, speed and athleticism. You’re probably not going to out-athlete them. Their vulnerability was shown by Chatard: play a disciplined, mistake-free, ball control game, and force them to make some mistakes. Stay away from the big play and force them to drive the ball.

As the 3rd period draws to a close, the Titans defense has outscored the Bears’ offense, 7-0.

SNL skit featuring Trebek character, as well as the recently-departed Sean Connery.

Wow, this is brutal! Down 10-0 in the 3rd, Bears finally have some field position, come up 1/2 yd. short on 3rd down, decide to go for it ... and false start ... twice ... before they can snap the ball on 4th down. Tough to hang that one on Nagy.

I was actually encouraged by the fact that their 5 star freshman threw for over 400 yds., and the Irish still won. I don’t know how much more than that Lawrence can do in the ACC championship game. But we’ve got to get there first. Oh yeah. Haters gonna hate.

Higher ranking, of course, has nothing to do with home field advantage. That would make too much sense. But Cathedral will host. You can thank the ping pong balls for that.

Incidentally, St. X has won 4 playoff games and will play for the Ohio Div. 1 title against Pickerington Central next Friday. One of the teams they beat along the way was Elder.

Well, that was fun. I am most encouraged by the fact that Clemson’s 5 star freshman threw for over 400 yds. ... and the Irish still won. I hope that means that - if we take care of business between now and then - we can absorb a big game by Trevor Lawrence in the ACC Championship and still win. Because you know he is going to bring it.

Does this seal Khaki Boy’s fate?

By rule, if there is an inadvertent whistle while the ball is loose from a fumble, the fumbling team may choose to take the ball at the spot where possession was lost, and have the down count, or replay the down at the previous spot. There is no “clear recovery” rule in high school. And it goes without saying that an official on one sideline has no business blowing the whistle on a play that’s on the other sideline.

You have my attention.

Summer weather and no full house. What a crappy home field advantage this turned out to be!

Andrean 28 Rensselaer 14 Bombers score 2 TDs in the final 3:43 to make it respectable.

Andrean 21 Rensselaer 0 Halftime

He did use some questionable language during our pregame discussion. 🤬

Andrean 14 Rensselaer 0 4:20 1st period

Andrean took the opening kickoff and scored on their 2nd play from scrimmage on a 65 yd. run. Andrean 7. Rensselaer 0. 11:02. 1st period

I’ll be checking in from time to time, as I’m observing the crew on the Rensselaer @ Andrean game and yes, folks, @Coach Nowlinis just as goofy in person on the field as he is on here.

Not as good as mine used to be. 😆 Which of the chain crew positions do you work?

You had me at Zima’s. 😂

A woman walks into a bar carrying her pet duck. She sits down at the bar and orders a glass of wine, and a beer for the duck. The bartender says “We don’t serve pigs in here.” The woman says “You idiot. That’s a duck.” The bartender says, “ I was talking to the duck.”

🤮🤢
