    It most certainly does matter.

    The blind draw cheats the fans and the kids. No other rational way to view it.
  3. Bobref
    More's the pity.

    If you have "zero knowledge" of the circumstances, then why be judgmental about it? Unlike most places, there is no connection at ND between the athletic department and the admissions office. You commit to ND, that does not guarantee admission. You've still got to satisfy the admissions committee, regardless of how the athletic department feels about you.

    USC is the biggest rival for the Irish. No question about that.

    Not impressed with the way they played last night, but it’s hard to feel bad about a win over the hated Trojans. They will have to play better in the Big House in 2 weeks. They’ll need the bye week to get healthier. I suspect that, after Penn State smokes Michigan next Saturday, Khaki Boy will be coaching for his job against us.

    As a general proposition, sure. But we’ve already established that you and I have different notions of what “fair” is. So, saying someone should be treated “fairly” is, essentially, meaningless.

    I’ve been doing it for 42 yrs. 😂🤣😅 Seriously, some people are just avid high school football fans. High school and small college football are the purest forms of the sport we love.

    I think it would be more accurate to say that “any conference win is bigger than any non-conference win.” But if you’re looking at a game to serve as a barometer, telling you where your program is at a given time, a home win over Rutgers doesn’t tell you much.

    Doesn’t take too many years at $20K a pop to add up to hundreds of thousands. How long has this been the case?

    I’m glad the Hoosiers won today. But going into the game, Rutgers was #139 in Sagarin ratings ... behind 21 FCS teams, including traditional powers like Dartmouth, South Dakota St., and Nichols St. If that’s your “big” win ...

    “Fair?” I guess I don’t understand what’s “unfair” about treating different sports differently.
  14. Bobref
    Perhaps because football and basketball are different? “One size fits all” simply means that, in most cases, the fit won’t be optimal. For example, when I was in HS, there was no football tournament, but there was certainly a basketball tournament. But as a football player, I didn’t feel cheated, or discriminated against. That’s just the way it was.

    The notion that all sports are alike - a notion that infects the IHSAA as well - makes no sense whatsoever.

    It can be, but doesn’t have to be. Ejections for personal fouls at the HS level (except for fighting, which is automatic) come only when the foul is “flagrant,” i.e., places the opponent at risk of serious injury. If I had to guess why the rules makers didn’t make it automatic, it’s because the sanction is so severe, and we don’t have replay to make sure we get it right like they do in NCAA.

    Best I ever saw in HS.

    Rod Woodson. Hands down.

    First time Griffith got the Hobart monkey off their back.

    Watched it just now. Could not tell well enough from the video whether there should have been either OPI or DPI. But the block in the back was an incorrect call. It was not a foul. The cause was the back judge was not where he should have been on the play. Bad mechanics cause bad calls.
  21. Bobref
    Anyone have video?
  22. Bobref
    Even so, they won’t be able to run the clock until the 2nd half.
  23. Bobref
    Yes, but I think the nails used to nail the P/Ps’ hides to the wall have to be 1.5 times the size of those used on the publics’ ... or something like that.😂
  24. Bobref
    Absolutely love the preemptive trash-talking.

    Lots of people bemoan the shortage of officials. Some people do something about it. Thanks. 👍
