Taqueria El Maguey has some excellent authentic Taco's (Asada and Chrizo) for $2 bucks each and very filling. lol Btw 'm not complaining just said I see both sides of the coin and fully understand why they are doing it. Hopefully as the season goes along restrictions will lessen.

Are they Cajun, Kansas City, Texas, or Carolina seasoned? lol

As for a CG vs Brownsburg match-up hopefully we will get to see that come tournament time. Still early in the season. As for not preparing keep in mind this was St. X's first game (they also had a scrimmage) and Brownsburg's second game (they also had a scrimmage. You are more likely to see more mistakes in your first game than you typically would. As far as cramping and not being in the best of shape. I think you will see that from a lot of teams. With Covid-19 and restrictions teams haven't been together conditioning. It has been done on the players own time. These are teenage kids and sometimes without the push they may or may not do the conditioning on their own, I personally (as an outside observer) think Brownsburg made 2 mistakes early in the game. The first is they kept solely trying to throw deep to #1 on any long distance downs while the underneath was there. In the first half there were very little passes targeted to any other WR than #1. The second was when they tried running zone to the play side they would be dropped for a loss. When they ran cutback away from the play side they were having much more success. There were a couple of times in the redzone if they would not have ran playside they probably wouldn't have been bogged down.

I see both sides of the coin. Schools are losing gate revenue so they are doing the PPV. For someone like you who has a family of 4 and pays $20 at the gate but $10 online you are saving money. For others that are a lone person who would be attending a game they would be losing money $10 vs $5. I get it though and don't complain. What I found to be a bigger issue was the news release I saw on Twitter from Mooresville. After their game against Danville was cancelled and they picked up Leo changing from a home game to an away. It stated that only one parent per player was allowed to attend the game. That was a little surprising. I figured they would give it for 2 parents. Thankfully for the Mooresville fans it says they made a deal with Leo to be able to stream the game with their broadcast team and it was on IHSAATV for free. I just can't imagine being the parents of a Senior and only 1 of you can go.

It does for sure. It will be interesting! Like I messaged Yuccaguy both teams haven't had much time to prepare for each other (scouting reports, film breakdown). Most likely whichever team can execute what they do best will win this one. I like seeing this match-up though!

Would the one matchup that you felt being a doozy the one that was decided (Mooresville at Leo)? Not sure how Leo looks this year, but Coach Gillin seems to have the Mooresville Pioneers in high gear again. If Leo is solid this should be quite a game.

Yes shows Saturday Aug 29 6pm on their website

Being honest any Roncalli students that attended South Deanery Elementary Schools: Holy Name, OLG, SS Francis and Claire of Assisi, Central Catholic, Nativity, St. Barnabas, St. Jude, St. Mark, St. Roch, Lumen Christi were never going to be students at Southport, Perry Meridian, CG, Greenwood, Beech Grove, Franklin, Franklin Central, or IPS. So really they aren't losing those kids they already knew they weren't going to be at those schools.

Who cares about Rozier. Fun to go back and watch. Never translated to the NFL. Nebraska has been irrelevant (more so than ND by a mile for many years). Football is football surprise. Do you have soccer to watch The Hoosiers will be fine. Interested to see who the OC will be!

Hogwash! Coach Wally Riggendorf will have none of that and will send Eric "Samurai" Hansen after you!!

Thank you for refreshing my memory on that one. I blame it on old age. I knew it was one of them!

Yes the game has changed the last 15 years. Yes athletes have evolved in the size, strength, and speed department. I have watched more football games than you could fathom at all levels. I personally have watched my sons teams run 4 different offensive schemes: I Formation (with some sprinkled in shot-gun), belly offense, up tempo shotgun spread, and power spread. I have also watched him personally play in different defensive formations: 4-4, 4-2-5, 4-3, and 3-4. He currently plays OLB in college just finishing up his Junior year. I also have been to a lot of H.S. games prior to my son hitting High School and after. I have been to every State Championship for the last 22 years with the exception of this year I had to watch from my phone as I was out of town in another State. I have seen several different Coach Bob Springers (you may not know who that is HOF Coach from Indianapolis Washington)T formation, Coach Moore's Wing T, Coach Colby's Wing T in a phone booth, Coach Wrights Flex Bone triple option, Coach Ralph's Power Spread, Coach Fishers Fly Offense, Heck I think it was either Greensburg or Batesville one year I watched run the single wing (my memory fades on that one). I have seen 1 personnel groupings, 10 personnel, 20 personnel, 23 personnel you name it. One thing remains the same if a team runs an offensive concept they can be successful in it if they hit the weight room for strength, and repitition their offensive scheme are disciplined and execute. The spread offense was not created because of freakish athletes. It actually was created to spread the defense out creating natural holes in the line and seams in the secondary. Spreading out defenses reduced the need to power block by undersized lineman. The Shotgun Spread has been around since 1956 and Coach Neumeier started the modern spread offense (or basketball on grass like Coach Tiller ran) in 1970.

I signed with the fighting armadillos of Texas State!

The bad thing is some teams run so much gun that it is a train wreck if they go under center for a QB sneak. End up with a fumbled snap.

Yes they do. I believe Coach L although retired and no longer HC is an assistant coach on the team. It is fun to watch their O-line. They are all perfectly syncronized and run like a well oiled machine.

Just a side note De LaSalle Concord CA held a 151 game win streak running a disciplined triple option attack under Coach Ladouceur. They produced many D1 players that even went on to the NFL.

It will be even better as it goes along the youth leagues will hammer home the fundamentals and plenty of reps. By the time they get to the H.S. they will be able to run the plays in their sleep! Coach Moore has done the same in the CG Bantam league with the Classic Wing T.

When it comes to gimmick offense I think of A-11 not T formation.

I will be totally honest with one thing that drives me nuts sometimes with teams I watch. 4th and goal at the 1 yard line (lets say a tournament game) down by 4 points. Offense trots out in Shotgun formation.

I think Coach Sharpe is well aware he may have to adapt according to what personnel he has in that particular year. It is not impossible to pass out of the T Formation or motion etc the play book can really open up. I remember a couple of years even your Irish ran some T Formation. I believe they even hit a TD pass out of it in a State Championship game maybe 2006 vs Concord? I'm not positive which one, I'll have to research.

1. A lack of open field speed yet fast enough to out run Ben Davis, Warren Central, Cathedral, plus other MIC defenders for long TD runs on several occasions. One heck of a shifty back too. 2. Of course he wouldn't be listed in the top 15 right now he only played 3 games his Junior season. His body of work as a Freshman and Sophomore was pretty darn good. I think you will see him jump into the top 10 for Indiana Class of 2021 if he stays healthy. 3. Difficult to compare Spegal's Junior year to Steele's Junior year because Steele only played 3 games. If you want to compare their Freshman and Soph years we can Spegal Freshman 356 carries 1,958 yds 17 TD's Spegal Sophomore 327 carries 2,385 yds 33 TD's Steele Freshman 272 carries 1,703 yds 20 TD Steele Sophomore 367 carries 2,270 yds 29 TD Compare away

Start the movement bring the Box Formation and Single Wing Triple Spin Series

The ND BoX should be on a comeback! Spin City! Bring that Triple Spin Series back!

I think I figured out who your Head Coach is! Is it Coach McGrath? So which episode were you and Mrs. Irishman watching as you typed this? Love the references!! I am going to have to incorporate Green Acres into one! Great post!
