Cathedral 49 Center Grove 45 4:30 left

Cathedral recovers onside kick

Center Grove 45 Cathedral 42 6 min 4Q

Cathedral up 10-0 over Center Grove. Early 1Q Now 10-7. CG 80 yd run on first play

Pretty normal, would guess early part of next week they should be released.

Yes, Networks will decide TV slot/time.

Zero preference.

Agreed. The sign stealing thing was a bigger deal than any Michigan fan wants to lead on, but to their point everybody does it to an extent, most just aren't dumb enough to get caught. But it's the blatant arrogance and lack of cooperation that rubbed me the wrong way. The recruiting infractions that occurred during COVID were petty, slap on the wrist type infractions. Yet Harbaugh wants to act like a dumba** and act like nothing happened and it's what got him a 4 year ban. Kirk Ferentz committed the same level of infraction, admitted and reported it, and took his punishment like a man. This is what leadership looks like. “I frequently tell our players to abide by the rules, and in this instance, I did not,” Ferentz said in a statement. “In 26 years as head coach at Iowa, — and more than four decades as a coach — this is my first potential Level II NCAA infraction. I made a mistake and would like to apologize to our players, University leadership, and our Hawkeye football fans. I know Coach Budmayr echoes those sentiments.” https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5716016/2024/08/22/kirk-ferentz-jon-budmayr-iowa-coaching-suspension/

LOL who?

DeBoer won 3 national titles in 5 years at NAIA Sioux Falls. There are great coaches at every level of football as Coach alluded. Sometimes the path to getting to the highest level takes longer for some than others. Cignetti and DeBoer are two examples of just absolute winners who haven't taken the path of least resistance to get where they are today. Coaches like Bo Ryan and John Beilein spent years in the D2/D3 ranks before succeeding at the highest level.

when Cignetti goes 4-8 we can talk. Cignetti hasn't had a losing season, EVER, at any of his stops.

At this point I don't care, nothing to get worked up over. Just know that the IHSAA has tweaked the success factor twice in instances where Cathedral was set to move down a class. I don't believe it to be a coincidence.

Cathedral should be really good next year so winning a regional shouldn't be a monumental task. But I wouldn't put anything past the IHSAA at tweaking the accumulating # of points needed if Cathedral was in serious jeopardy of dropping back a class.

I don't see one of the big boys poaching a coach who is set to turn 64 before the start of next season. But that's my hope.

I don't care about 2020, Tom Allen was still the coach. If IU commits to Cignetti and staff, the next 5-7 years are going to be very fun.

Lol. This is just the beginning.

Run the ball effectively, don’t get beat over the top, and win the field position battle and Cathedral could win this.

Bingo

Prime’s got a long way to go before he’s in Cignetti’s realm, but I respect anybody who can walk the talk.

You're missing the forest through the trees. The point is, he wins everywhere he goes. He builds up programs and leaves them in a better place than he found them. That's a lot harder than being hired at say Ohio State or a Michigan where you have built in advantages that already put you in the 99th percentile.

I'd say building up several different programs at the lower level is a harder feat than winning as the head coach at a school like Alabama or Ohio State or Texas.

In a room full of other middle school coaches? Sure

Because there's a very real chance that Michigan is going to have to vacate several wins from the last few seasons including the national title.....what do you mean how is it overshadowed lol? Just like people will always remember Louisville vacating their 2013 national title due to a prostitution scandal.

I don't HATE Michigan. I view Michigan the same way I view Ohio State, Notre Dame, etc. I'll never root for any of them. Same way I view Kentucky, Purdue, etc in basketball as an IU fan. I can appreciate good teams and good programs when I see them however. Michigan had a fantastic season last year yet will always be overshadowed by an elaborate sign stealing scandal on top of several other level 1 infractions that ended with a ruling banning Jim Harbaugh from college football for a length of 4 years. It's hard to like somebody as arrogant as Jim Harbaugh. Ditto for somebody like Urban Meyer. Both great coaches who can't take accountability for their actions and the actions of their football program.

Michigan fans been arrogant ever since I've been alive, and that's going on 35 years. Just as arrogant today as they were when Rich Rod was going 3-9.
