Funny but I use that observation with Mrs. Lysander all the time.

I’ve heard that some of those who are retired offer their expertise as a charitable contribution….

What Northridge has done is pretty amazing but a I think Mt. Vernon cleared their hurdles the last couple of weeks. Hoping to be wrong, but I think Mt. Vernon wins this by whatever score they choose. Again, hoping to be wrong.

Nope. He has just taken over the game. Dude strip/sacks the QB one play then punches in the TD on the very next play. Is it just me, though, but does Andrean just look bigger across the board?

I hadn’t noticed that. If MD pulls this off it’s likely a sweep across the board. CG and Mt. Vernon are certainly favored in their upcoming games.

Congrats to the Titans! Been a long time coming. Really happy for your community. Well deserved.

Welcome to the GID. Brebeuf hasn’t had many posters here since Coach G left for Michigan. Nice summary.

Having just finished a movie podcast review that I have done for some 12 years - just finished episode 301 (a lame attempt to explain this LATE night post, btw). My excuse for a 3:00 AM comment that I couldn't resist. I'll try to keep it short. Read ALL of the above. There is always an "us" and "them" in life. Unfortunately. The days of "US" are behind you. Welcome to "THEM". Be nice. Be gracious (you didn't need that advice from me, btw). Tell them to p!ss off in your own mind or...maybe even directly as needed. BTW, stay "Them" as long as you can...but hold to the things that made you "Us" too. In that interim, go out and kick @ss. Best of all wishes for the Titans. Don't apologize. Just Win! 9 us/them

Amazing post season run. Clearly the surprise of the entire playoffs this year.

Yeah…I’m still a bit confused. Actually a lot. Apparently we are in a 3 year cycle now.

If Mt. Vernon hasn’t, I’m expecting that they will soon enough. They are basically becoming a smaller version of HSE as regards demographics, etc. Don’t know about growth but I’d have to imagine they are tracking to become 5A in the upcoming years.

Kudos to Marian, the last couple of years they have literally been inches away from Lucas Oil versus two teams that were heavy favorites against them. At some point they have to break through since they’ve been knocking so hard on that door.

Well, GS made their statement. Welcome to the big show next week.

Agreed. I sure didn't. Nothing against MV, I just thought Roncalli outclassed everyone by some distance in 4A.

Geez, give #2 some open space and he's almost untouchable.

I was thinking the same thing about 43 as regards being impressive.

The announcers indicated Allen had over 300 yds the first half. Does he always scramble this much or is the Tri-West pressure that intense?

I was a little worried that would happen as soon as I mentioned it.

Man, the GS receivers catch about everything they get a finger on.

yep. mine is down too. its been bad the entire game.

The Indiana HS Football page will do as much good for your mental health as that trash bag of popcorn will for your waistline. It’s not a healthy place.

Bob, I get it and certainly don’t disagree with your point (because you’re right) but I find myself at a “gut” level often having to restrain myself when it comes to Merrillville….not because of the team and kids (I think I indicated last year that they handled themselves with class and aplomb last Fall at Chatard) but rather because they literally have some of the worst and most obnoxious fans imaginable (one certain fan is literally a lunatic) over on the football Facebook page and it, unfortunately, at times is really, really difficult to not want to speak to THOSE folks which I think was really what “‘06” was doing (not to put words in his mouth) rather than the team and kids (who deserve respect). By the way, I think I may just have written the longest most dreadful single and continuous sentence in my life. For those lovers of grammar, I apologize in advance for my assault on Mssrs. Strunk and White just above.

Yeah….think I’ve used them all.

You’re killing it today all over the GID.

I have eclectic tastes.
