I would love to go watch some NAIA and D3 football around the state this spring. Any idea how ticketing will work? I am assuming it will be a school by school (county by county) situation for tickets. I would hate for a parent or grandparent to not be able to see their athlete. As long as there are extras available, I hope to see at least one game this spring.

The question was geared towards out of conference opponents in the tournament and film from Hudl sent to them. That is what @POTLUCKwas getting at. So are you going to say that Southridge only had two game films of Mater Dei last time they played? Sorry, but I’m not buying that. Honestly, I don’t see the big deal, but some coaches can’t stand the thought of sharing film with a few clicks. Sure it feels good to meet at the 50 yard line before the game and swap VHS tapes. But I’m sure there were just as many extra dubbed copies floating around in those days too.

Will there be (or have there been) coaching changes for Fall 2021? SS, MV, and WAS all have coaches going into year 2, if memory serves, but this off season has been quiet.

I just saw the posting on the EVSC website. It shows a coaching, weights, and clinic stipends, for whatever it’s worth. Not sure what the other two entail. Quick tangent- Central’s football coach and Bosse’s soccer coach stipends are only about $700-800 different. Wow. I guess expectations for success aren’t factored in to those stipends.

Sometimes there are obvious alum rumors like Brunson (Reitz) and Sutton (Harrison). Other times the hires are from out of town. I had never heard of Burgess or Coultis, and they had great results in their tenures. I have no idea who might apply but there is a good chance they will have plenty of names to choose from. It will be interesting to see who they hire.

Over/Under of Central players starting for other EVSC schools next year?

I hope my above comments weren't misconstrued as being negative. I wondered if there was a family/regional connection that was drawing him back to Campbellsburg. One of my college roommates was a Senator alum, and I have nothing but respect for the WW faithful. I wish you guys and Coach the best of luck!

I'm not familiar with northern Indiana, but isn't LaPorte a 5 or 6A school? Not often do you see a coach both change corners of the state and school size to such a difference.

Agree on your points. This is about the 3rd time in a row I've tried to like one of your posts Bob and I've run out of reactions for the day. So this is me liking your comment. 🙂

And as a wing you can see the advantage gained by Adams "running downhill" prior to the snap. He is accelerating laterally and upfield at the same time, so he would have forward momentum upon catching the ball. It can be the difference between a 1 yard gain and a 2 yard gain. Poor defensive communication/rotation turned it into a TD. Is he motioning toward the line of scrimmage? Yes. Did he gain an advantage in doing so? Yes. Were the above so egregious to warrant a flag? Probably not on this particular play and I can see why there was no flag. But you are darn right I would talk to the officials about the WR pushing the boundary. The Chiefs have crossed the line worse than the Packers did on this play, IMO.

I agree with you on this. I would like to blame Under Armour as they are one of the biggest abusers of the alternate jersey colors. But the blame probably falls to Nike and Oregon for the multiple jersey/pant combos. I think they were the originators.

I believe Evansville Reitz Memorial started out as simply "Catholic" high school and wore green/gold. They were known as the Fighting Irish - the colors and nickname both shared with Notre Dame as homage to the Brothers of the Holy Cross who founded the school. Name and color change happened in the early 1930's, I think.

At my workplace we would need to form a committee to get study the minutes from that meeting. Then we’ll form a task force to implement those findings for future meetings.

B-Buh-B-Buh-Buh-Buh-B Go Bayside! It would be a long bus ride to California. But what was the name of Miss Bliss' school? That was in Indiana.

Cool. If you go to Google Street level view (215 Mulberry St, Greenfield, IL, 62044) you can see the team on the field. https://www.google.com/maps/@39.34239,-90.2060685,3a,15y,352.94h,86.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sIS4ygqQ9tJ6jdlwczA657A!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

As far as IN vs KY, I went back to check out the Evansville schools since 2007. That was the beginning of the "Border Bowl" which featured 4 interstate matchups in week 2. It was a 4 year series and then another 2 year series took its place in 2018 and 2019 before the SIAC became a closed conference. Here are the respective schools vs Kentucky schools since 2007. Ev. Central 10-0 (includes wins over Owensboro, Daviess Co, Louisville Holy Cross, and North Oldham) Reitz 16-5 (includes 9-2 vs Henderson Co but also wins over Owensboro, Paducah Tilghman, and Louisville Central) Mater Dei 5-0 (several wins over Owensboro Catholic) Memorial 5-3 (wins over O. Cath, Apollo, and Daviess Co.) Bosse 3-1 The two schools with losing records: Ev. Harrison 2-4 Ev. North 2-11 (includes 1-10 against Henderson County) Except for Harrison, who has been down for awhile and North's matchup against Henderson County - which occurred prior to Coach Paridaen's arrival, the Evansville schools have all fared well against Kentucky competition. There are a lot of good teams - Male, Trinity, Covington Catholic, etc. that SIAC schools haven't faced, but I think an average IN school could beat an average KY school IMO

I like it. I was thinking directionally challenged as well. Fort Wayne Southside Southwood South Adams Evansville North North Posey North Harrison If you play a "south" school you have to drive north, and if you play a "North" school you have to drive south. Reminds me of the days when Evansville North was south of Evansville Central.

I would also include Marion and Marian. And a new Three team conference: Tri Tri-Central Tri-County

It appears to be in really small letters. Option 4 seems to keep the other 3 schools the same but adds a 4th school (East Vigo) at around 1,200. Option 5 removes THN/THS and makes East Vigo large (3,800). All 5 options keep West Vigo, which is the smallest currently. I assume that would be unchanged as 3,800 is close to the current enrollments of N&S. Keeping it must make sense geographically - I would guess?

I would say Memorial's team identity will be the same as just about any year. They will be small and undersized. But they will make up for that by being deceptively slow.

Basically, no one wants to go to Terre Haute unless they have to. 🙂 I don't know the demographics of Vigo County, but did they consider consolidating 3 schools down to 2? It might not be feasible or result in a huge school north of I-70, with THS being relatively unchanged.

So West Vigo, THS, and THN are the same school corporation? If so, I was not aware of that. That would explain the THSV and THNV acronyms better I guess.

With IU’s turnaround year, and Bret Bielema taking over at Illinois, I have seen several calls on social media for in-state kids to stay home. They obviously are talking about top talents, but what about walk-ons? Do colleges still have walk on tryouts in the spring? Or do they just do the preferred walk ons now? Does D1 college football still allow for the Rudy’s of the world?

I’m not going to put too much stock in any ticket sales (or lack thereof) this year. The hodgepodge structure of different schools, different counties, etc having different rules has caused most fans to just wait until next year. Just this basketball season, we had to turn in the name of which parent was going to attend a game 2 days in advance. The next week my wife used our parent ticket only to find out the school was selling tickets at the gate. And we have a son playing. I can’t imagine how frustrating it would be as a grandparent, uncle, or just casual fan. So I’m not going to judge 2020-21 for anything but this year.

Best of luck to Coach Kirschner. People I respect in football have had nothing but the best to say about him and his programs. If I were a head coach, I could definitely see the appeal of returning to your Alma Mater to finish your career.
