4??? Try 8 or 9.

To turn this thread into anything other than a football discussion.

Could you maybe just not comment for the duration of this thread? For all of us. Your intentions are clear.

Now that we know Muda's living preferences (I know he was dying to let us know), does anyone have any score predictions?

Fantastic news

D1 talent for sure, and I said that. Just don't think they have any P5 talent like they've had in years past. There's no Ekiyor (Alabama), Stepp (USC), McLaurin (Ohio State), Bortenschlager (Maryland), Werner (Ohio State), Karras (Illinois), etc etc. Great team this year for sure, better than any of the teams during their 5peat. Just not sure they have the top end individual talent like some of those teams had. That's not a slight by any means.

Then there'd be another urban sprawl ten miles south of New Pal???? What's your point. Not really an earth shattering discovery, but most cities and their surrounding corporations are easily accessible by land or water. For obvious reasons.

You know, that's a great question. I think those Cathedral teams from 10-15 had much better individual talent, but this team as a whole just seems to be bigger, faster, stronger, deeper, and a very good cohesive group. This years group has D1 talent, but you won't find a Ted Karras or Terry McLaurin who start now in the NFL or any P5 caliber talent, but they play extremely well as a group. Cathedral's best playmaker has been out since the Brebeuf game and isn't coming back, but they've still moved the ball extremely well even with his absence.

I'm not. Recruiting has seen an uptick the last two years and its starting to pay dividends. We had some heartbreaking endings the last 2 years but we were playing with an extremely young core and they are only getting better with experience. I fully expect IU to compete Saturday with Penn State and absolutely believe they can beat Michigan at home. Not only do I expect them to beat Purdue Thanksgiving weekend, I expect them to win by 2 TDs. This isn't your fathers Indiana team. They have talent, they have depth, and most importantly they have absolutely bought into the culture that Allen is instilling.

Not nearly as big as Noblesville, but would say it still has that small town atmosphere (for now). Between New Pal, Greenfield, and sections of McCordsville/Fortville, Hancock County is steadily growing.

It is

S&P has IU as a 0.5 home favorite against Michigan and 2 TD favorite on the road against Purdue. Would be shocked if they went 0-3 to end the year.

Zionsville over Brownsburg was a pretty big upset. But in all-honesty, how do you expect big upsets when some of the best teams knock each other out in the first or second round every year?

I like your prediction! I think both teams will trade blows in the first half. I believe Cathedral slows Spegal in the second half and gets a few key stops and with their big play ability converts those opportunities to put some separation between the two teams on the scoreboard. New Pal is forced to speed it up and throw the ball. New Pal scores late to make it a one possession game, but the Irish recover the onside kick to seal the deal 38-30.

No Squirrel Chilli?

Cathedral had a wonderful fish sandwich on Friday during the Lenten months. Was probably caught and served out of Fall Creek same day. 😝

You can only start so many threads about contraction. Seeing as many of those programs have been eliminated for the remainder of the season, well, it's DT's offseason too.

Prime Rib Monday, Taco Tuesday, and Fish Fry Friday. Duh

Enrollment is down across the board at most p/p's. It's damn expensive. But schools aren't intentionally capping their enrollment to pad their trophy cases playing in lower divisions against lesser competition which is what Cow Bell is insinuating. MD and Memorial would take 10,000 students if they could.

So my only take away from this thread is that talent is lacking at Center Grove/Warren/Ben Davis because they don't offer a sushi menu. What a recruiting tool Carmel has secretly deployed

Would say Luebbe is more shifty than fast, but he's definitely quick. Elder has a massive offensive line that has two D1 commits, one going to Ohio State and the other to Louisville as well as a 230 lb TE going to Ohio State though he is more of a receiver.

Through all your inaudible rambling this is up there for post of the year. No private or parochial is capping their enrollment to pad their trophy case. Less student=less tuition dollars which is the biggest source of income these schools take in. Don't be ridiculous.

You leave our beautiful oceans out of this You keep this up and you'll be the most replied too poster on this forum.

Don’t get us started on our home away from home lake cottages up at Wawasee. Always a pain in the rear to get those winterized.

You sure you were at Carmel High School and not the reformatory?
