If Cathedral doesn't win by at least 3 TDs I'll be mildly disappointed. I have to wonder how much rivalry feel this game is actually going to have. First meeting in 6 seasons and the first time these two have played each other in the regular season since 2010. Roncalli's last win vs Cathedral game back in 2006 in a two-day affair.

They'll only be a top 4 seed if they win the B10, likewise with Georgia and the SEC. Top 4 seeds are the highest 4 ranked conference champions. As it stands now it would be: #1 Texas #2 Ohio State #3 Miami #4 Iowa State

With a mandated 2H running clock once the score threshold crosses 35 points, I'm guessing that's how 95% of these games go. You can count on one hand the number of teams who intentionally "run up the score" over the course of the season. Muda is the king of engagement farming.

Think they could. Wouldn’t be favored. No issues with an undefeated Penn St team being ranked ahead of a 1 loss Georgia team.

Rooted against IU… Own team lost.

Pretty sure Temp had East Central near the top all last year.

A team scores 83 points and it’s not even going to make @Muda69run it up thread? Travesty

Center Grove had it available on its website for purchase. Cathedral wins a wild one 49-45. Two best players on the field were both sophomores, McClurg and Dangerfield.

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.
