Regardless, you should buy his books. If I recall from my time in Bloomington when Bloomington H.S. was consolidated (year?), it became Bloomington South while Bloomington North started at 0-0-0 -- please correct me if I'm wrong.

Any attempt by the University of California regents to block UCLA’s move to the Big Ten could endanger the way the governing body does business, according to a former chief of staff of a UC president. https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2022-08-18/blocking-ucla-move-to-big-ten-could-have-fallout-for-uc-regents

Top 10 coming after Week 1. I'll pick 10 games every week -- either straight up or with a line. Some seemingly predictable games might be omitted for brevity. Good luck. Castle at North Memorial at Jasper Vincennes at Bosse Boonville at Paoli Forest Park at Princeton Gibson Southern at Terre Haute South Mount Vernon at Heritage Hills North Posey at South Spencer Tell City at Perry Central Tecumseh at North Daviess

Florida behind Indiana in football?

"No bulletin board material" would be my guess. Idk for sure though.

Will someone organize a Pickem for the conference this season? 🤔

Oh. Well... you're on the thread, now.

Isn't it @Bobref's old stomping grounds?

How is the SAC getting out of the closed conference? The SIAC (Evansville) is currently in a closed conference schedule. It's hard to gauge and correlate it with tournament success, but the big-class schools are not winning as many games as they were previously, while Mater Dei keeps doing Mater Dei type things...

Oak Hill in Ohio posted about its 60-player strong freshman football team. How big is your freshman squad? Does funding impact how many players you can keep? What is the best non-varsity formula to fill the depth charts?

Back to the old days of Saturday road trips for tape exchanges on little abandoned highways in Nowheresville, Indiana. Interesting tales about games being (poorly) recorded over home videos, coaches "forgetting" to fix the tracking so the provided film was partially unviewable, and lists of coaches/programs who were not exactly forthright in exchanging decent quality films.

What are some of the most intriguing scrimmages this week?

USI has been able to routinely beat or stay with Evansville in MBB over the past decade. We'll see... SW Indiana has experienced a disproportionate amount of HS baseball success over the past decade and deep ties to USI. We'll see. It's not the big sports where I expect USI to have trouble... it's with the women's and secondary sports. Additionally, USI will have to solve the attendance issues which UE experiences. Perhaps USI is better equipped to do so because of a larger student body, but. We'll see.

CR 600 S should run east to west 0.6 mi south of the county seat or other designated "meridian." At least it's in the same county. I've never understood why Hamilton extends the Marion Co. blocks into its county and I was born near 96th & Keystone.

Benbow inserting herself into a racial equality was a real doozy on Sunday! I bet she didn't break the rule of "making the story about you" because the story was impossible to tell in any other way ... just like she didn't do it for selfish reasons.

And I thought 296th Street intersecting with SR 31 N was a joke in northern Hamilton County.

No. The Star is home to the most professional journalists. They would never compromise journalistic standards for the sake of getting a angle for clickbait. USA Today/Gannett loves you.

Do you think there is a 9-12 enrollment or average class enrollment of limiting returns? What is the single best statistical determiner of football athletic program success -- besides past success and enrollment?

I tried to use a multiplier to factor in all schools' effective enrollment at least 10 years ago. For example, you would look at what percentage of a school is on free or reduced lunch and I believe special education could also be factored. Additionally, I believe the success factor should look at the previous four years for the next two year cycle and then only include the median two years to determine success factor points. We had spreadsheets.

Is Cathedral going to be any good this season?

It seems he's been elevated to a new level. Not bad for a HS wrestler and football player from Westside Evansville. He's been on this grind for 20+ years. Not shabby!

Updates and photos from across Indiana, as the 2022 season kicks off. Use #TGD or mention @gridirondigest on Twitter for an automatic re-share. It's game time!

I realize, but still connected by one or two orders of magnitude...
