Since Mudas opened another can of worms what schools had a juice reputation back in the days?

Dan Brandenberg will be joining his father in the IFCA Hall of Fame with a Region 4 induction at the National Football Foundation hosted at Purdue this summer.   

Still the only player in RCHS history to be drafted in the NFL.   

Dan was a badass basketball player too. I watched him throw down a bunch of dunks on Lafayette Jeffs in a regional game. They couldn’t stop him and after a while just kinda stood and watched. He was like a vanilla Charles Barkley, I swear to God he was!

Give me a case of Zimas and some boner pills and I’ll show you performance enhancement. I swear to God I will

Rensselaer runs a great program in a fabulous town, I've always had mad respect for the Bombers.

I need one of those Wagon Masters. I swear to God I do

South Put is on a different level compared to the WRC this year. SV SP would be a hell of a matchup, but that won't happen. RP is probably the 2nd best team in the sectional but it doesn't matter because SP will mercy rule everyone in this sectional

 

So you’re saying the only WRC team that could hang with South Putnams is the one that was in 3A 2 cycles ago?

C'mon Donnie, you really think the fighting Chucks will take it all? No push from any WRC school?

They’ll prolly win 1A south and I’ll say it right to your face!

New Sectionals released for the next 2 years. Back to WRC all in one for 1A along with North Central Farmersburg and South Putnam, should be a good sectional. Which WRC team has the best shot at taking this one?

None with South Putnams in the bracket

LOL!!!  Yes, because that's what "open enrollment" means.  Dear God.

If Sheridan is recruiting, then they suck at it.

Who's many?

Open enrowment doesn’t guarantee athletic eligibility. I swear to God it doesn’t. STATE LAW

That's a huge trophy case.  Probably took a nice fund raising campaign to build and future proof it.

 

The shop class built it 

Congrats to Isaac Gaylor of Fountain Central for making the North team at TE for this summer’s North/South game. He’s the 10th Mustang to play in the series

Maybe we can start a grass-roots movement in all sports-- the school that wins the highest class tournament is the STATE CHAMPION...the school that wins all of the smaller class tournaments are CLASS CHAMPIONS.

That’s the dumbest thing I’ve heard all day and I’ll say it right to your face 

With back to back regional championships it looks like The Woofs are now a basketball school. I swear to God they are 

That boy from Winamacs knows all there is about stat keeping. I swear to God he does

I've been here since the start.The Gridiron Digest has NEVER been rumors nor specualtions about who will take over at open positions.

STATE LAW!

Attica has a new coach but I don’t know if it’s official yet. I don’t want to break a state law

He has a few good guys to work under, and 1 very sub par awful one that coached him as a player and added more as a peer.

I want my trophy 🏆. I swear to God I do!

So 1 coaching spot filled, what do you think @Donnie Baker and when will the Attica HC spot be filled 

The North Vermilions school board sounded pretty excited in their presser. He’s had a couple of good guys to learn from at his other jobs. 

My Attica source toad me they’ve had 7 interviews. He’s not sure about the new turf

Looks like NV has landed their next head coach.  He'll have some pretty big shoes to fill following Crabtree.  

 

Has Attica hired a coach yet?

No

Open enrollment should have nullified the Success Factor. But, in Muda's world, it's the perfect equality. 
 

If any of you want to sell me on a great program with great coaching and championship potential for free with an advantage over a private that has to pay thousands to possibly play their senior year, I'll kiss my own arse. To even say an East Central has some 4A disadvantage to Cathedral is laughable. Their facilities are absolutely incredible (looks like Carmel), they can recruit the entire county like Cathedral (and every Marion Co school but without competition), and have plenty of donor muscle. 
 

As long as every public in the state has some sort of competitive equity regardless of coaching, enrollment, or facilities, Muda will be happy. Socialist football is miserable though. Seek out a better situation or build better. It's really pretty simple. Irish Football has been generationally built and that is something that should not be discounted. Also 0-2 the last two years for the 'ship.

He won't be heading to any school anytime soon after the 5-year contract extension that he just signed making him the highest paid coach in the WRC. 

And he didn't apply for the AD job.  I saw the interview list and he wasn't on it.  He doesn't want that headache of being at the school every single night all year round.

Shouldn’t the biggest school have the highest paid coach?

Do you hit the pizza or the waitress?

Both

My inside source tells me the buyout is all the Terra Villa pasta and garlic bread he can eat for the remainder of the contract length and 10 meatball calzones from Gerries.  
 

@Donnie Baker the best pizza in west central Indiana is Overpass Pizza. The thin crust is ambrosia. We should eat there sometime! 

I hit it once or twice a month. It’s pretty damn good and that blonde waitress Alexis is fire ass hot . I swear to God she is.

Donnie, I know a guy.  Perfect fit for the Ramblers.

If they were smart, they'd make a run.

Is he a former option QB?
