BTF

Telling someone not to respond to your posts is an overreaction. Yuccaguy is an outstanding contributor to this forum who's opinions are as appreciated. We as fans do battle, but at the end of the day we all share the same passion for the greatest game at the greatest level. That being said, I have Westfield and Carroll on a level playing field right now after further review. There's something to be said for the Rocks in beating Lawrence Central by a wider margin than HSE did. Carroll/Westfield would be a barnburner in my opinion. I still don't think it will come into fruition though. I think it will be Carmel, HSE, or fishers to represent the area at Semi-State. And Carroll will have their hands full with Penn and Crown Point. No offense to any of the great teams not mentioned. The northern bracket of 6A will be exciting to say the least.

Just one more thing before you and I part ways................ BTF 8-21-22 I'm not ready to anoint them as a Top 10 team after beating up on a 2a team devastated by graduation and transfers Yuccaguy 8-21-22 Carroll is NO JOKE! As for Carroll. This may be THE team that can compete well into the Semi-State from the FW Area in 6A that those in NE Indiana have been waiting for. great year for the quality of FB in FW as far as I am concerned. I am positive that they (CHS) are a TOP TEN team in that classification, easily. Summary: You have Carroll in your Top 10 "easily." I don't have them in my Top 10 at all. But to appease you, I'll "stop being so LOCAL in my deference to things."

Do me a favor and don't respond to any of my posts. You and I aren't even on the same planet.

The Carroll/Westfield debate will never be settled.

Well there ya go then. Enjoy the Clemson/GT game.

Debatable. But let's rest for a bit.

Boasting or defensive of the "coward" accusation? You're ready to throw Freeman under the bus after just two games? Look. I admire your passion about the two greatest games in all of sports.............high school and college football. But you really get carried away sometimes. Take a deep breath and maybe pause for a few minutes before you type.

Lol, you're exhausting.

In my biased poll? Why does it matter? It's biased.

Hmmm. I think many programs would love to be where ND is as a program: Five years in a row with 10+ wins Fourth best recruiting class in 2023 Number one recruiting class in 2024 You're really making a fool out of yourself. It's sad because I know you are much smarter than this. You're going down and a very high rate of speed right now.

"Incredibly ignorant?" I find it comical that you're incredibly angry that one could possibly have the audacity to rank a Fort Wayne team in the Top 15. It's like I said in another post. Never in the history of the game has Fort Wayne not had a representative in the Top 15. And I doubt it'll happen this year. I've got the top ten teams right now out of Indy, yet you're angry that I have Carroll over Westfield and Zionsville. Sorry my opinion that Westfield isn't a top ten team this year offends you. Here is what a biased poll would look like: Center Grove Brownsburg Cathedral Carmel Ben Davis New Palestine Warren Central Carroll Hamilton Southeastern Snider Westfield Fishers North Side Roncalli Dwenger

Carroll at Northrop Dwenger at Homestead - I've got these two ranked 4th & 5th in the SAC. I'll go with the Saints in this one even though Garrett is just 1-3 vs Zolman. Luers at Concordia Snider at South Side Wayne at North Side

Lol, ouch!

That's hard for me to say since I didn't watch a minute of game film.

You've really got my mind a mess right now. Cathedral fan, Notre Dame hater. This is just really bizarre. Maybe I'll go take a nap.

That pretty much explains it. You're "happy ND lost." Hence the reason you're mad they were up 10-7 through three quarters and only lost by 11 in big bad Ohio State's back yard. It's ok. Notre Dame is good and will be for a long time. Get used to it. No sense in being angry all the time. Can I get you a counselor? Indy, right? Oh wait..............it just hit me. You're angry that Cathedral, with their three offensive All Americans, were a few lucky bounces from losing their second game in a row on Friday night. That's it. It's all coming together. Go take a nap.

Dummy? Lol. You're angry. It's ok to have your own opinion and play pretend "what if I were the coach." But I have some news for ya. Fifty percent of collegiate coaches, all of whom have more coaching experience than you do, would have punted in that situation. You act like this is the first time you've seen it happen. You're mad that Freeman, who actually coaches for a living unlike you, didn't see it your way. Again, it's obvious you're upset that the Fighting Irish ONLY lost by 11 and were a couple of third down stops away from actually winning in the Horseshoe during primetime.

Your hatred for Notre Dame is evident. You were praying he'd go for it and fail so that Ohio State wouldn't have far to go to go up 28-10 and make the win look more convincing that what it actually was. Or did you take Ohio State with the point spread? Either way, you act like Freeman is the only coach in the country who would have punted in that situation. It sounds to me like he was trusting his defense to give them another shot.

Probably a combination of Fishers slim win over Pike and HSE living up to their preseason hype after three games. Not sure if you caught it, but in my original post in the 5a thread I had HSE in Tier 2 with Fishers. I'll defer to the Indy guys on this one.

Really? That's it?

Lol, who's content with a loss? Give me some evidence here.

Not sold on Kokomo quite yet. They've had some good teams in the past, maybe they'll get there. Certainly not Top 25 yet.

An eleven point loss on the home field of the #2 team in the country and a recruiting class that's currently ranked #1 coming in next year? Yeah, what a sad state of affairs they are in right now.

What was the "coward" part in your opinion. Hopefully you're not going to say passing lack of passing the ball deep. The Irish are depleted in the receiver department and struggled to pass protect for the new quarterback. Maybe that had something to do with adjusting to a new line coach? Defense played great and they did a good job of chewing time off they clock. They go into the game as 17 point underdogs and are leading 10-7 through three quarters.................in Columbus. And you think Freeman is "way in over his head?" Let's revisit that comment at the end of the year and again and the end of next year. All we learned last night is what I've been trying to tell everyone for the last five years. There's very little separation between Ohio State and Notre Dame. What else did we learn last night? Georgia is #2, not Ohio State...............and it's not even close. The gap between Alabama, Georgia, and everyone else is huge. It's about the same as the gap between the top ten teams in 6a vs the bottom ten teams in 6a.

Very well said. The problem is no one takes a stand. It's just too easy to give in to the status quo, whatever that may be. The NCAA should steer clear of Friday nights, there is no other stand to this. If someone disagrees with that, then they are accepting status quo not only on this subject, but probably in other areas of life in general.
