PHJIrish

I don't know much about them but it's a large Catholic high school with about 2000 co-ed students! Most of the Irish schedule this season is a mystery since losing Brownsburg, Center Grove and Warren Central from their schedule. It should be fun to find out!

Just a reminder that this is a 7:30 start.

It sure looks like the Colt starters better stay healthy this season. The Falcons non starters had their way yesterday.

I have found Tom O'Briens obituary: Thomas O'Brien Obituary - Indianapolis, IN

I was just notified Thursday night that long time Cathedral basketball coach and teacher Tom O'Brien has passed away at the age of 95. OB was a dear friend of everyone he met! He was a real asset to Cathedral High School through ou his life! One humorous story about OB, told to me by Irish coach Leo Mahoney. Both Leo and OB played football at Butler for Coach Tony Hinkle. During their early years they rode the bench for most of the season, but in a runaway game Coach Hinkle pointed at them both to enter the game. It was difficult for them as their helmets were full of popcorn! I will post an obituary later. RIP,OB!

I'm doing well! I wish the Giants the best going forward! It was a good night for both teams really. Both are quite young and there's going to be some penalties and turnovers early on. BD's young QB is going to be a great one! Cathedral Freshman 19, Ben Davis Freshman 14, final. I hope someone will post the JV score.

Ben Davis 33, Cathedral 27 final BD led 21-7 at the half and built a 27-10 lead midway in the 3rd quarter! The Irish came back to tie the game at 27 early in the 4th quarter. After a Giants turnover the Irish had the ball deep in BD territory, but a series of penalties led to a long missed FG! BD then scored with 1:50 left in the game and then missed the XP! The Irish quickly moved the ball into BD territory but a fumble, after a completed pass inside the 30 yard line, ended the game! The Giants QB threw for 327 yards tonight! No Irish opponent's QB threw for 300+ yards last season! Lots of penalties and lots of turnovers, as you would expect in an opener!

Time to get the team bus loaded and get on the way. This is tonight's forgotten game as it's not streamed anywhere. Fans can listen on 1260AM radio though. This one should be a good one! The first game is always a crap shoot, and that's one reason I love the high school games! Hope to see a lot of Irish fans out here on the westside!

I'm old enough to have seen Tommy John pitch for the Indianapolis Indians! RIP!

It's trends like this that make me glad I'm old!

There have been years when mega school Tech didn't dress 30! I'm not sure their situation now, but it's not enrollment!

Anthony Richardson continues to be so inconsistent. He has all the tools but seems to be unable to put 'em all together! Maybe it's just the fact that, for various reasons, mostly injuries, he hasn't had much time on the field! Watching the Colts preseason game was not time well spent. Too many turnovers and not much flow, but as Allen Iverson once said, "it's just practice!" Lots of those who played last night will not be on the field during the regular season. Some of the defenders, however, were quite impressive. Not much to take,overall, from last night's scrimmage.

My debut in the stands will have to wait until next week at Ben Davis. Too much weather for this old fan to handle! It's been a brutal summer in fact.

And I'm still upright and hoping to see some football soon!

Notre Dame mourns Lou Holtz in tribute video: 'He was the father of all of us' RIP, Coach!

Terrible coaching decisions by Sean Payton cost his team a trip to the Super Bowl.

I agree that ESPN really has too much say so in this and that's unfortunate! I find myself trying to not watch much Espn since they seem to be accentuating the E. It's not possible to avoid them totally, but a lot of their entertainment shows I do avoid more and more.

Center Grove has not played Bloomington South in the recent past. It just seems strange that they have stopped the Cathedral longtime series at this time. Not trying to get at the CG supporters, just wondering why it's Bloomington South instead of Cathedral.

Well, at least Notre Dame losses, early season, were to teams in the tope five. Alabama's two losses, before the SEC championship game, was to non rated teams, or low rated teams. I don't mind those who don't like the Irish, but look beyond the number of losses, but look at who they were against and what the margin happened to be.

The Irish were ready this year at playoff time, the CFP committee wasn't.

Not reading into anything, just wondering! It was a pretty long series.

It was good to see Finebaum having to eat some crow! He was a slow and deliberate I thought he was going to turn Cream and Crimson!😊

They have played Cathedral many years while in the MIC. It just seems strange after losing two straight against the Irish.

So, Cathedral wins two in a row against Center Grove and CG drops the Irish!😉
