I said that two years ago. 

Maybe we should worry more about why Vincennes was in Memorials backfield so quickly, instead of worrying about about #4. Just absolutely can’t understand why you would get on here, and take a shot at a 16 yr old kid, but man that’s what some of you like to do.

     You give others from Gibson Southern a bad rep, and it’s pathetic.  This is the 3rd time you’ve sit behind your keyboard in two weeks and taken shots at the likes of Jett Goldsberry, GS54, and now #4 at Memorial. Great kids, great men, and great family’s.  None of which would do the same as you!  I guarantee you wouldn’t do it to these kids dads faces, and for sure can’t understand you disrespecting 54, with what he and his kids have done for GS.  And oh btw the  guy from Chicago must be pretty good considering you can see him on Netflix working with Pat Mahommes, or you can find him working with about 10 other NFL guys, and at least a dozen Power 5 QBs most weeks.

      I thought we squashed this stuff two years ago when we won the state.  How about you showing some class, act like you’vebeen there before, and quit giving the rest of the community a bad name?

Butkus, it looks like you are talking about the 2 basketball players you said transferred to South Spencer last year. If that is the case why would their pictures be everywhere in the school for years?

I'm talking about their dads pictures. The transfers dad's both were high level athletes at SS, but somehow Reb? doesn't know who they are.  Seems like he could have just called one of his former coaches that was on the football staff to find out.  I mean he did coach at SS years ago? Yet he still hasn't said what coach he coached under. It would be like Colson Montgomery coming back to Southridge after several years in the majors, and enrolling his kid at Southridge, and not knowing who he was.

As I stated before, haven’t been at SS for years.  And don’t keep us with basketball, so really not familiar with what you are speaking of.  
 

Not overly concerned with you opinion, just like I’m sure you aren’t with mine.  

So your not familiar with two of the greatest athletes in SS history? I mean their pictures are everywhere in the school, and have been for years! There's not a person from Rockport that wouldn't know who they are, but you prove my point. Who was your football coach at SS? And if you coached at SS you knew who these guys were too.

I guess Reb? Is still trying to get ahold of his Rockport buddy's to figure out who those dad's were. Lol!

Great point regarding why the OL is on top of the DL during a pass play.  This is not an uncommon occurrence for this particular O-Lineman during the course of the game.  Actually, this fuzzy photo reinforces the point I was trying to make.  Didn't see quite as much of this from him on Friday.  Maybe the crew was watching it more?

  Serious question.   How many starters for Gibson Southern are transfers from other schools?

Seriously trying to figure out why a guy from SS gives two hoots about GS? I mean you are the school that got 2 basketball transfers last year aren't you? Can you name me the names of the father's of those two kids that moved in to SS?  Those were a lot more shaky than the move ins GS got. Maybe 63 stole your girl, or he stole your kids spot? Btw just how have you seen so much after the fact video, unless your in the stands at GS games more than at SS? Also if your an adult, shame on you for getting on a blog, and going after a 17 year old kid. If you had any guts you could just call the GS high school AD, and complain to him. He is the football coach, or just message me and I'll give you 63's dad's phone number, and you can talk to him.

Looks like GS had a great offseason with free agency.  

Oh you must mean like the one the Rebels had in basketball last year?

Find where I said SIAC went looking for VL.  They went after and got Jasper. VL didn’t hesitate to say yes immediately when asked jointly by Jasper and SIAC. Not uncommon in high school sports to drive 50 miles for a game. SIAC got better by both the new schools joining.  And both have great followings.  

First off I thought Jasper went to them? What I'm asking is for someone in the SIAC to explain how this made the conference better? You have higher costs, and no flexibility in football. You have student athletes that will have alot of late nite weekday games in conference.  I'm not trying to be disrespectful at all. Just asking for concrete reasons. If it was 12, and you had two divisions, plus real rivalry games with Jasper keeping Southridge and HH, or Boonville playing Castle I could see benefits financially. GS playing Reitz or MD would have been moneymakers. This setup created nothing like that. Congrats and good luck!

Once again if you think the SIAC went looking for Lincoln your crazy. Jasper needed another team to join with them when they were turned down and Lincoln was the team they called and they turned in the psperwork first. Once again I am a football guy all the way snd I can care less about the other sports but I actually think if the PAC does not require crossover games GS and HH will be in a better place with being able to schedule tougher teams if they choose where neither Jasper or Lincoln will make Reitz, Castle etc better

Once again I agree with you!

SIAC didn’t need any team to help the conference. SIAC is helping a conference that is struggling and VL and Jasper pulled the trigger with zero hesitation.  Central had 2 years of good football and a horrible overall athletic program and suddenly we are concerned about VL and Jasper being good for Central??  

So the SIAC is just being a "good guy" to help the Big 8? Out iof the goodness of their heart?  Lol! I'm sure when they look at those new transportation costs, and those parents in all those schools get tired of those late night drives from the JV swim meets, not to mention the time change they are gonna be super excited about the new members. You and I both know they wanted 4 teams.

Would much rather be able to schedule three tough non conference games than have a schedule of teams you already know everything about and are mediocore at best.

I agree with you and Reitzguy. Don't understand how anybody right now in the SIAC can think their two team addition is good for their conference, especially if I'm Castle, Central or Reitz in football. More transportation costs, time change issues, and the fact you had a school that travels really well in football 15 minutes from Evansville that would have made you more money.  I think somebody hung them out to dry, and in a couple years they will be wishing they would have just stayed like they were.

Sorry, about my thoughts.From the way you are looking at it you may be right but I am s Reitz person and I am only thinking football, the money making sport that helps fund the other sports mainly because I dont care about the other sports and this is s football site. What I was saying is that the football conference didnt get much better. Both of thise teams are middle of the pack football teams

I agree with you. Gibson Southern made as much sense as anybody that joined for multiple reasons, especially in football. The three biggest being crowd size, proximity, and time zone. They would bring huge crowds that I'm not sure Vincennes would bring. The bus rides from Vincennes and Jasper will be long for all sports which will be costly, and the time change isn't going to be very friendly for the student athletes traveling to or from Jasper and Vincennes. It's also hard to understand why Boonville wouldn't want to join when they could play 4A tourney opponents or the gate playing Castle would bring? So yes not sure what the SIAC gained from just Jasper and Vincennes if you look at it financially. Not questioning their athletics programs strength in any way.
