The Bash broadcast is the worst sports broadcast I've ever heard. Turned it off after 5 mins. Has it been that bad all year?

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. 

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:

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.

I don’t think they should do it at all, really.  Just let teams compete and let the chips fall where they may.

But, if they’re going to do it, they need to figure out a way around the problem of a team having an uncharacteristic run of success based on an abnormally good class or two.  That kind of shafts the normal classes that come up behind them.

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).

Good concession food? 

Band moms?

The system is kind of bogus anyway and borderline punitive. Though, I guess that would be made more obvious if the system bumped schools up by two classes.

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. 

How is Coach Gengelbach doing?  Any connections to this team? 

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?

Just curious. At some places that have the flashing lights I’ve seen notices posted reassuring people that the lights are designed so that they are not a threat to trigger people with seizure disorders. Frankfort have anything like that?

Organizing a class-action?

How true! 

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).

I will just say this, Ben Davis’s rise to state and national prominence seemed to coincide with Washington HS closing. But I’m getting old and my memory ain’t what it once was. 

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?

I never said it definitely was arson, only speculation on my part.  Therefore there is nothing to retract.   

Besides, that is if you actually agree with the findings of the Fire Department and insurance company.

 

Are you insinuating that you are the culprit? That's what I can speculate. I swear to god I can. 

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?

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...

Just very concerned for and interested in you guys. Us PAC brethren have to stick together, you know?

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?

[2023] East Central (St. Leon, IN) 35 (90%), [2023] Reitz [F. J.] (Evansville, IN) 14 (10%)

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
