(2 - 2) North Knox @ (4 - 2) Linton
itiswhatitis replied to itiswhatitis's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Glad to see you on here and know you are alive and well, my friend. Yeah I have NO IDEA what that was last night. I've only followed the Miners for 25 years but I can't recall the last time they played that poorly. It was as though they weren't interested in playing the game. Offense, defense, either one was just awful. I give props to North Knox for the game plan and their line play. I know their line didn't play that well against the Bombers last weekend. I guess the coaches got them fired up for the Linton game. Not taking anything away from the Warriors (they played a superb game) but the performance by the Miners was an embarrassment. I hope they get whatever's wrong, fixed in the next 2 weeks. -

Congrats to the Warriors for the win. Your line tonight played superb. I can't remember the last time the Miners were dominated like that on both sides of the ball. I've been saying all year this is a young Miner team and tonight it showed. Best of Luck to the Warriors the rest of the season,. Maybe we'll see you in the tournament. -
Final North Knox 27 Linton 14 Congrats to the Warriors for the win. Not much else to say.

Warriors score with 5:26 left in the game on a 2 yard run. PAT is good. North Knox 27 Linton 6 I will give the Warriors my congrats now. What a game plan and what a beat down. The line was superb tonight for the Warriors on BOTH sides of the ball. At least you came to play and the Miners apparently wanted no part of what you guys brought.

End of the 3rd quarter North Knox 20 Linton 6 Linton will be punting to start the 4th quarter. This game is pretty much over other than the final score. Didn't see this coming.
-
One yard TD run by Hammelman run. PAT no good. 1 minute and change left in the 3rd quarter. North Knox 20 Linton 6 North Knox has dominated this entire game. VERY embarrassing for the Miners.
-
Halftime North Knox 14 Linton 6 North Knox missed a 35 yard field goal with 9 seconds left in the half. North Knox gets the second half kickoff. North Knox has out rushed Linton 224 yards to 126 yards. Even Southridge didn't do that well against the Miner defense. Can't remember the last time Linton has been this dominated. It's like the Warriors have 15 men on the field at times for blocking. Wow.

4:33 left in the half North Knox 14 Linton 6 North Knox has dominated the game so far. 2 Linton turnovers meant 14 points.

How did New Pal Slip So Quickly?
itiswhatitis replied to a topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
And of course you have definitive proof of what you accuse them of. What, cheating??? That is about the dumbest comment I have EVER read on this forum in my many years of being a member. And in the day of open enrollment, it makes it ever dumber! Who says the games were unwatchable? You say it to fit some DT agenda and for NO other reason. I watched another program beat up on teams for years. You KNEW every year it was going to be a blowout with most teams on their schedule. However, NO ONE accused them of accumulating talent so they could beat up the other teams. It was just the case of one program being that much better than the others in a particular area. It's called having a program. Something it appears you are not familiar with. Oh yeah, you support that powerhouse, Highland. No wonder. You should be trying to "fix" your own program instead of throwing rocks at others, especially ones that are successful. They are successful so they MUST be cheating is your way of explaining it. I guess you are one of those people in society that wants every kid to get a trophy even if they don't do anything. You want everything "equal". Life doesn't work that way and especially in sports and competition. You are going to find someone who is always bigger, always faster, always stronger, and more talented. Hey, maybe we should limit football players to no one over 200 pounds. Maybe that would help you in your "quest" to get everything equal. Good luck with that. -
How did New Pal Slip So Quickly?
itiswhatitis replied to a topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
(Humongous amount of sarcasm) Yes I am shocked and appalled that New Pal lost to the #1 ranked and undefeated team in 4A (Mount Vernon). And New Pal is only 4 and 1 this year??? They should just shut down their program! I can't believe they are still playing football after THAT loss!!! -

No Kingtut sighting this week? I hope our old friend is okay. Always look forward to his comments. -
Because in general, most fans would prefer to see the top 2 teams in the title game. It's the #1 versus #2 thing. When the 2 best teams play each other in the first round, it seems a lot of people lose interest after that game. I don't see a problem with the seeding. I think it would hold more fans interest (in a normal year and NOT this year). However, I'd like to see them come up with a different way to rank teams in classes instead of using enrollment. I believe it would even out the playing fields a bit more and more than likely cut down on some of the early round blowouts that we are accustomed to seeing.

Maybe it's something the new commish wants. You know, "it's my ball game now. Let's throw this at the wall and see if it sticks." I mean it is the IHSAA still running things and seeing how they are at times, I'm not surprised they changed something. Next year they will probably use scratch off tickets to pick your opponent in the tournament.

Anderson should drop its football program
itiswhatitis replied to a topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Yes, let's demand that Anderson drop it's football team. That's a bit hypocritical coming from a fan of a school who's had only one winning season in the last 10 years. And the 2 years before that they went 1 and 20. So tell me, WHO are you to judge other programs when your own isn't very good? It's past time for someone to rein in their holier than thou attitude towards others and take a long look in the mirror. -

Good grief! No offense, but are you sure they are human? Sounds more like a sasquatch. He sounds like the 2 Piper brothers they had at Perry Central some years back. Both of them around 6' 4" or 6'5" and 300+ pounds. I believe they were a year apart. They were a LOAD! -
Anderson should drop its football program
itiswhatitis replied to a topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I've always liked the suggestion of putting teams in classes using the Sagarin ratings or something similar instead of enrollment. Seems to me it would be beneficial for everyone. The stellar smaller school programs (the current ones) would play against better competition in the tournament and not dominate and the bigger struggling schools would play lower level teams and be more competitive. It will never happen because it makes too much sense, but I'd like the IHSAA at least try it. The success factor would be automatic. You get ranked higher, then you move up. -
People who know me know that I have posted in the past: HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, THE GREATEST GAME ON THE PLANET!!! This story is just one more reason that I have made that statement. For something like this to occur (and especially at the last minute) warms my old heart. To see not two, but three schools come together and allow these student athletes to play the game they love is well, just heart warming. Considering how many teams have not gotten to play this year, I'm genuinely happy for those who can. It goes beyond "kudos" for making something like this happen. As a fan, I give my humble thanks to the 3 programs that provided this opportunity for these young athletes and their fans. And as a fan of football, I now have 2 more teams to follow (I already followed North Knox since they are on Linton's schedule). No comment about a Linton/Rensy Central series?

No, I hope I'm wrong and Linton wins sectional 40. LOL But that would be a homer calling it and I won't do that. Linton is a very young team this year. They still sometimes play with the tendencies of youth. They are still a good team but not good enough that I would say they could beat all of the other teams in 40. Mater Dei doesn't play ANY 1A or 2A teams on their schedule. Playing in the SIAC they are the smallest team in that conference. They play two 5A, two 3A and five 4A teams. And keep in mind some of those teams are usually ranked in their classes every year. This year they have lost 6 - 3 to 5A Castle but just beat 5A North by two scores. And it was AT North. Tell City has played two 3A schools and beat Heritage Hills 32 - 0 but this is probably the worst team that HH has had since 2013. I believe they lost a lot to graduation since they were 14 - 1 last year and played at state. Tell City just lost to Southridge 14 - 12. So I based picking Mater Dei over Tell City on those facts and not what MD has done historically. Had Tell City won against Southridge, I might call it a bit different. At any rate, I'm hoping for a few good draws in the sectional so we get some good games. After reading this, you'd think I was a Mater Dei fan. Trust me, I'm far from it. Just giving props to those with good teams and good programs. I get that a team can have a good game on any given night, but so far on current resumes, I'd have to say Mater Dei is still top dog in 40. And don't forget, this isn't Coach Goebel's first rodeo either. Best of luck and good health to all teams in sectional 40!

Okay. Just wondered. I met Coach Nowlin at the Linton/LCC state title game in 2015. We sat together at the game. He's such a great individual. We talked about football (of course) and many other things. He had no dog in the fight but still drove down to Lucas Oil to meet up and get acquainted. I had just finished a TON of chemo a few weeks before the state title game. Even though Linton lost the game it was still great meeting and talking with Coach. -
Have to disagree. Mater Dei has played a much tougher schedule than Tell City. Don't be fooled by Mater Dei's record. They just beat the undefeated and top 5 ranked 5A Evansville North team while Tell City lost to the 3rd ranked 3A team. Most of Mater Dei's losses have been close and to much bigger schools (and some ranked). Regardless of what some people may think, Mater Dei is still the team to beat in sectional 40 with all of the other teams looking up (including Tell City). I will say, IF a team beats Mater Dei, then they should win the sectional whoever that would be. But I don't see Mater Dei losing in the sectional this year.

Yeah Coach Nowlin told me that. Said it was fun to play against in your game. Did you get to meet Coach Nowlin? Great individual. -

I have found out that Munster is just a make up game this year. So forget my suggestion of dropping them by the Bombers. I't still like to see a series between the Bombers and the Miners.
