  1. Sagarin's Predictor: Indy Chatard (87.38) is a 11-point favorite vs. Knox (74.24) and has about a 70.21% chance of winning (1.97-point home-field advantage). Last updated: 2023 November 11 Saturday 17:35:16.345 Central Standard Time = GMT/UTC-06:00
  2. He has spoken.... Sagarin's Predictor: Ben Davis (103.88) is a 8.5-point favorite vs. Center Grove (97.23) and has about a 65.96% chance of winning (1.97-point home-field advantage). Last updated: 2023 November 11 Saturday 17:35:16.345 Central Standard Time = GMT/UTC-06:00
  3. Next week you will get the pleasure of listening to Steve Kolb and Mike Crews on WAXL, 103.3 FM. I am biased but Steve has been one of the best in biz for 25 years. The consumate professional.
  4. Titans cut it to 14-10 in the second. Good to hatve experience when you get down in big games. They know it's not over. I won't be providing updates, so Evansville's finest: https://x.com/aaronhancock14/status/1723444464918605845?s=20
  5. Nice prediction, HH. Spot on, chap. /insert var Humble_Pie. The Titans seem to have been still getting off the bus at kickoff. They spotted TW 14 points in the first quarter before halving it. Kyle with the stellar coverage as always on X. https://x.com/KyleNeddenriep/status/1723441291092988257?s=20
  6. That's an easy solution actually. Look at the previous four years of Success Points for a team. Throw out the highest point total and the lowest point total. The remaining two point totals are your Median Points. Use those to determine classification (if the goal is to keep the current system relatively in place).
  7. Statistically, ignoring basically all other real world factors and common sense, teams should only win a sectional about every decade and state championship every half century.
  8. It's Friday during the season during the regional round, so I should just keep this for a month, but in the spirit of driving site traffic to the max, I want to float my big idea for the week. (If only the website had the functionality to open threads at a future specified date ... I digress!) If a team accumulates seven or more Success Factor Points (twl state championships or a championship and championship appearance) during a single period, that team should be moved two classes higher. I think only a few teams have won back to back in the same classification period since the inception of the system: LCC, Chatard, Cathedral??? In most cases, the two class bump is just accelerating the inevitable and likely increasing competition in one class higher. Thoughts and thinks?
  9. Bussing ruined the community feeling of IPS schools. Manuel, as my father repeatedly has told me, was relatively diverse (Black-White) when he graduated in 1968. He grew up playing with people of different skin color. They had some damn good football, basketball and track teams. Bussing didn't ruin the IPS schools "because of diversity." It ruined their identity which is still a huge problem at IPS schools (and some consolidation schools i.e. Pike Central).
  10. What are the largest employers for people living in the BD district and how does their existence coincide with BD's success in the 80s and 90s?
  11. Are you insinuating that you are the culprit? That's what I can speculate. I swear to god I can.
  12. I saw both teams three or four times each last season. I know Cathedral recruits well, but I'll take the Little Giants based on my watching zero of their games. Am I keeping up with TGD median fan?
  13. What's the going rate for a fourth grader currently in the Castle system, below average size and speed, theatre and chorus skills? She's undecided with a 4.0 GPA and has had unofficial visits to Memorial, Castle, North and Gibson. Heritage Hills and British (father's side) pedigree without a drop of Roman Church blood in her though...
  14. This thread is going places! Taking wagers on it lasting over/under to Sunday at noon. Deposits can be sent to my Paypal.
  15. Predictor.GridironDigest.net Back by popular demand 👋 @tango
  16. Sagarin's Predictor: Ben Davis (103.31) is a 4-point favorite vs. Indy Cathedral (97.42) and has about a 57.39% chance of winning (2.01-point home-field advantage).
  17. Just very concerned for and interested in you guys. Us PAC brethren have to stick together, you know? FYI: Sagarin's predictor Gibson Southern (78.1) is a 4.5-point favorite vs. Tri-West (71.61) and has about a 58.51% chance of winning (2.01-point home-field advantage). Do we still have this unspoken rule where we don't chat about our own teams on their game threads, but instead make passive-aggressive comments on each other's threads?
  18. Interesting that both are 21 point margin of victories... Applying a certainty to rating differences is a bit of guesswork anyway. You're just trying to match a bellcurve to a dataset. For transparency, I use a modified "ELO to Win Percentage" formula. =1 / (1 + 10 ^(($margin)/ 30)) * 100 https://lacrossereference.com/2021/06/22/converting-elo-ratings-to-odds/
