This is not a joke.

1a football is not real football.

I'm sick and tired of getting dirty looks when I wear my Letterman's jacket around town, and having to quickly stop to explain to people that what they've seen is not real football, and that it's not all a joke.

I busted my Butt playing football in school, from the time I earned my first letter in 96 to the time I graduated in 2002, I even set the school record for most quarters played, one which I am extremely proud of, and hope it remains for a long time.

Then I move out to indiana 2 years ago, and get compared to these 1a schools, this is a sham.

I suggest these schools replace football with a wholesome sport like kickball, itd be no less competition than they've got going now, and people would get less confused about what hs football really is.

On top of that there would be much less of a chance of injury.

Thoughts?

All 1a schools should look to contract.

Even with bias (and I have it) - lets be real - Chatard has performed extremely well so far against the #3 3A (at the time) Brebeuf team and the #4 4A North Wood team. Again, really early, but Chatard looks strong right now.

Chatard could easily be on this list, but let's be honest, these two games arent exactly feets of strength. Brebeuf doesnt have a prayer in the 3a tournament, almost the entirety of 4a is irrelevant other than a select 3 or 4 schools, whom chatard is easily better than this year, and northwood is not one of them.

Haven't called out any bou

I want to meet YOU, ....I called out boys by name?   Like in a negative way?  Don't recall that at all.  I will continue to voice my opinion, I haven't said anything about any specific kid.  So I can't wait to see you, Im sure we've already met as Im at the tailgate every week.   Or tell you what, how about we meet at the Dads luncheon on Friday?  Then I can meet the rest of your buddys at the tailgate, unless you need to be together with them

You've been convicted of wrong think so now he wants to harass you in a parking lot with all his friends, very manly.

I shall go with you and we will fight every last one of them (after the game because I'd like to watch it)

No Class A?

 

I maintain that the only victor in class A will be myself for not watching.

I've changed one of my picks

6a game will be cg over snider

The 96-0 game was a tragedy, with a little bit of effort and can do attitude lcc could have broken the 100 mark I'm sure of it, but instead elected to hold back to spare peoples' feelings.

Yes, I do believe that, but coming from a supposed supporter of one of the new kings of running up the score, New Palestine,  your incredulous statement comes as no surprise.

As for your questions, yes, I do believe teams should take a knee then punt.  Your backups are in the game, you have a robust, competitive junior varsity schedule for them to develop and showcase their growing skills, what more do you want?  With a running clock the debacle will be over soon, no need to simply end the game.  After all the home venue could still earn some $ on concession sales.

 

 

I would say having your backups take a knee 3 times and punt the ball starting in the second quarter might possibly be just a tad bit more demeaning than having them play the game out.

Not a fan of the mercy rule, I'd like to see everyone going out on the field and looking to score 100 every friday night.

Put the subs in once you have a cool 70 to 80 point lead. Maybe that would encourage some people to actually learn how to tackle.

These four teams are on a collision course. All very impressive victories. 

Dwenger 41     Wayne 6

Valpo 34     Penn 14

Cathedral 42     Noblesville 14

New Pal 63     Kokomo 13

You're just gonna leave bloomington south out of the pack like that, after they seemingly handled castle (ranked going into this game) well.

Also very interested in this valpo team, as I expected their game to be a bit closer.

Cathedral by 35

Look, if you're going to post a thread, no matter how right, or in this case wrong you might be, at least make sure your potential title games could actually happen.

2. Valpo

3. Castle

4. Bloomington south

5. Michigan city
