I guess I'm curious as to why you say in 4A...East Central and who.  I dont know if you have looked at the teams that have played in the State Finals in the last couple of years...but there are no repeat visitors...until this year. 4A has been dominated by those schools in Indy...and to be fair...alot of those year where public schools made appearances...the private schools moved classes. I feel as if you are putting EC in a category that it does not quite belong yet. 

pretty sure he's talking only this year

this isn't even a down year for 5a

nobody is saying there aren't a handful of good football teams in 5a this year,

but I'd still throw money behind EC and Chatard

to take the 5a title given the opportunity this year

and don't even get me started about 5a last season

because I have more than 1 or 2 teams from 3a/4a

that could have walked right into 5a for a free ring last year

so what we are left with is

5a is a decent class on the years

where snider decides they actually want to tackle the ball carrier

Some years I would put the top 10 3a against the top 10 5a and expect a 70% 80% win ratio for the 3a class *cough* last year *cough*

East Central (-29.5) over Northwood with a 93% chance of winning.

Ask Will Hunting (Aka Temp The Tool Boy). He's probably still pulling splinters out of his backside . 

I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I just don't see the appeal

Course we are talking about soccer and tennis players so I suppose...

Do you still show people your high school letter jacket and tell stories from your glory days?

Yes

He can't leave the Tool room for an extended time, he might miss something that would make him go 7-10, God forbid. He loves to tell everyone how good he is at predicting High School football games. All the info he uses is right on the web, but most people don't have a special room for TOOLS like he does. Most people have a real job and a life, so spending hours researching Sagarin, Harrell, etc is not an option. Temp is the kid who rode the pine on his high school Tennis, Soccer and Cross-Country teams, who somehow morphed into Indiana's Mr. Football. 

I've never heard this term "rode the pine" what is it

it sounds sexual

albeit painful

C'mon Rodney. Even you can appreciate Adams Central vs Lutheran. 

The first time one of em shows up to LOS with a big win over a decent 4a+ school on their resume,

I'll make the game

you have my word.

or hell even a win against someone smaller who has those credentials covered

ha you thought

if it's the 1a game I march directly back out the door to go continue preparing mentally for the 3a game.

2a game I stay and watch

my preferred method of entry is to go somewhere and get a drink or ten for the first quarter of the first game, then go gain entry with less of a line

No love for the team you coach?

I like winners

You’re gonna make me crush you with stats again aren’t you?

I’ll check back in later.  Hitting breakfast with my 8 out of 10.

why were you eating breakfast at 10 in the morning

First, let’s be honest, football doesn’t exist anywhere North of Indy for you. Second, while I hope Northwood shocks everyone, reality tells me nope. Lastly, props to you for having your priorities straight and putting alcohol before food on championship weekend!!!🍺🍺🍺

Not true

Snider has had some good football teams

so has luers

I was one of 2 or 3 people on the digest to pick caroll to beat HSE last year 

big fan of dwenger football as well (sometimes?)

I could put up pioneer and LCC as good football programs as well, though typically I reserve "good" for teams with at least one quality win against a 4a or higher opponent

I just don't see it. I'll give EC the win, but that's about it. Westfield isn't laying down for anyone. 

they literally just rolled over and died to a team they should have beaten

Just now, BTF said:

You must not think much of Westfield then. 

I think EC would have their way with them

I'm serious

EC is that good

and my respect for northwestern Indiana football is that little

maybe I get proven wrong next weekend 

who knows

I would bet my house on east central to take CP by 3 touchdowns or more

CP is good

Better than BD? Hell no

But could they pull it off?

Well see next weekend 

They have a chance bring home a title where it actually means something 

Unlike 5a last year

Which I still believe could have been won by putting together a team of GID members

29-0

Maybe penalize a team somehow for putting 2nd and 3rd stringers in?

makes sense, we'll qualify it as taunting

I would be happy to redesign a tournament that would be "fair" to all for the ihsaa

I can put all the work into seeding properly on my own using my patented 'just say someone is better' technology

I will leverage seeding in future tournaments to convince schools to host neutral site games while pocketing all of the gate fees myself

Also were gonna start selling beer at games and remove the success factor + mercy rule

I thought the game was well played by both teams.  How it played out wasn’t at all how I expected it to go. Northwood dominated the ground game and the Leo defensive line. Leo moved the ball at ease through the air.  I think if you had been given odds on those things happening beforehand you’d have not taken them.  For our reward as Panther fans we get possibly the best 4A team ever, at least that’s how people talk about EC.  Great win! 1 more week. 

Hard to say the best 4a team ever

Definitely the best 4a team this year, and better than any last year

You're on a diet? 

I like to leave room for alcohol

No food on state championship weekend

I'd like to know what the point spread is for the Lutheran/AC game is. Need someone to pay for my dinner while in Indy. 

I dont do food but kilroys is the place to be between the 2a 4a and 4a 6a games
