Yes. As I remember. He did advance the ball.

The biggest limitation is Indiana's antiquated travel rule. I forget the exact lingo, but IHSAA member schools can't play games in places beyond contiguous border states or 200 miles beyond the state line. (I'm sure I got that wrong, but someone will correct me.

He gets rushing yardage to the spot of the hold, so 8 yards, yes. Team gets (-10) yards in penalty yards. Ball is put on the 18 yard line, making it 1st and 12.

It's perfectly accurate to measure in-state performances.

So is there a consensus 1999-2023 Top 3 for 6A -- I'm talking about the best teams from that period and not programs?

What's the inspiration for your screen name? I hear you remember things you care about.

I've read, edited and written a lot of articles. I've read a lot of Pete Swanson articles. But I've never seen this: Lo, “I got a phone call from Jim Kasmarek, New Albany’s head coach. He had spoken with Mike Goebel and Frank Will, and he hired me as an assistant coach. I stayed there for six years.” "Lo" I knew what it meant, but not how to use it. I'm going to try that tomorrow. Need a dang map to accompany this article with a star at each place he has coached.

SG has returned!

Sagarin only measures in-state performances. Those out-of-state games can be played with different rules sets. Should help you sleep at night. Do you know when Sagarin started his football ratings?

Let's do it. I lean heavily on Chat GPT for programming now. As I'm not a programmer by trade, it has become invaluable in speeding up my processes. If I can offer any support or hosting, let me know . I would be interested in seeing your algorithms. Best ~ Chris ETA: For example, I have all the Regex needed to extract ratings from Sagarin's HTML. My next step is just to put all the important values from his data into a spreadsheet/database -- year, class, team name, predictor, overall rating, wins, losses, ties (I think there was a forfeit tie a few years back). Long-term I'd like to integrate it with some of Harrell's info like conference, sectional, conference title, sectional title, regional title, semistate title, state title, home, road, neutral, etc...

I met Tim in 2003 as an opponent. Tim was a line coach (and possible DC?), and I was a defensive lineman for Heritage Hills -- I don't remember my statline, but it was my best game: I had a sack, 3 TFL, a batted pass, and a few assists (pretty dang dominant). It wasn't a pretty day for TA -- as crimsonace1 can attest. We scored the first two times we touched the ball. Final score was Heritage Hills 49, Mount Vernon 7 (or something close to that). At that time, Coach Clayton forbade us from posting on TGD -- or even reading it. After graduating HS and going to IU, I became a regular on TGD and then a moderator. During my freshman year in 2004, Tim had us all meet in Fishers at a pizza place (I don't recall which one.) It was TA, DK, Jimmie, TW, me and Dawgie. We agreed on pizza. When the server came, we placed the order and ordered some drinks. Then a pimply faced 10th grader (Dawgie) piped up and said, "Can we get extra cheese?" Laughter ensued. Dawgie got his extra cheese and the rest is history. Crimsonace, DK and maybe Jimmie still are.

I've been a journalist for 15 years. Prior to that I'd volunteer to keep stats with the big book. I enjoy it in a sick kind of way -- football, baseball and basketball. I also do some PHP and HTML scripting. I can't believe Scout and the predecessors dropped the ball on this. With all their development power, they got very greedy and forgot to just make systems which work well. I've thought of a similar venture. I only suggest that you get a system that works as well as paper and pencil, then you offer premium packages for detailed reports and live analysis. I look forward to seeing the outcome of your project. Best of luck!
