@temptation I can't believe you wanted me to give you 28 points for a team that has only given up 6 points in three games of sectionals.

The audacity

I’ll look at the Hudl video. But that crew gets the benefit of the doubt from me until proven otherwise.

You don't exactly have an unbias opinion here

How about send me the video and I'll ready the pitchforks

who's home/away

I don't envision this being a close game

But I hope it is, I respect EM program and really like how you make the GS fans Whine

The East Central game wasn't fun.  East Central will probably win state 47-0, just like they did tonight.

Temp sweating

Are you still coaching at Merrillville? If not, how do you handle a situation when you're up 50 points at halftime? Do you put your second stringers in to work on depth and the next year? Or do you go for 100?

with a 50 point lead the game plan doesn't change, we run the ball until late in the fourth and then we start throwing

I didn't read the fine print...what if someone stays within 27 BEFORE the state championship?

this was a north vs south thing originally

i already got my toe to worry about before the state championship

I could see using Sagarin as a guide, but not the be all end all. I'm sure the IHSAA could form a committee with a group of volunteers who'd be more than happy to determine seeds. I think solely using the Sagarin will encourage some coaches, not all, to run up scores when they shouldn't. 

the only time they shouldn't is when they can't

I would say yes....but I'm a EC supporter so....

The question should be asked to those not bias.

we'll see about it when they win by 28 in the state championship

Five hours shy of October 31st, this thread deserves a bump. 

Halloween is just propaganda to make witches werewolves and vampires seem fake

I don’t trust Bloomington South in the postseason. In the last nine years, they’ve lost several games in the regional that they were favored to win. Castle upset them in 2015 and last year. New Albany upset them in 2021. Until I see something different, I can’t pick Bloomington South.

then that castle team went on to get massacred in SS lol

36 point margin of victory for EC to an unranked Martinsville squad…

@Rodney getting nervous.

unranked south squads > ranked north squads

Bloomington South 7 Bloomington North 7 (end of 1st)

South had two drives impacted by penalties with the penalties at 4 for South to 0 for North. North managed to convert two 3rd and very long situations to keep drives going and their passing has been really crisp to keep drives going.  

Its witches I tell you they have favorites

lol

"#1 and #2"

might be some people up north with something to say about that

You knows those “rascals” and their pranks…

to be honest I thought most of those pranks happened on the east side

I want to know more about this chase. details man

also BD by 6

but its hard to really pick BD after the MIC died last year and the HCC now reigns supreme

Or his pathology. Same difference.

i aint even know what that means

- this entire thread as well as any calls to action in the following should be interpreted entirely as fiction, witches are not real, and the refs didn't screw your son on a pass interference call, he is slow and can't cover the deep ball and that is why he got pass interference called on him. furthermore don't hurt the zebras or Rodney Rodenstein might be officiating your next HS football game. Trust me, this is not a viable option for you.

I tried last year to nudge you people in the right direction, and you all failed miserably to take the hint!!!

Witches are real and likely the reason behind your favorite team's demise

so at great personal risk to myself, I'll make this one more on the nose

Our brethren in Salem tried to get it done, however they couldn't complete the job

them witches, buncha freakin shapeshifters just stopped posing as women, they went underground

that was until some time in the 1800s when they resurfaced realizing they could pose as zebras

and torture people mentally by ruining football games

Their most famous work was introducing pass interference into the game so they could pick their favorite team to win

because witches obviously have favorites

However, they are responsible for other atrocities as well, such as roughing the passer, and the fair catch

so now we have approximately 63% of all referees are actually witches in disguise

pictured below

and there is only one indisputable way of dealing with witches

and I'm here to give you a step by step guide on how to solve the issue

phase 1: witches love money, this is common knowledge, so were going to lure them to a secure location directly after the game by using additional pay

• the optimal location for this is your local bar
  • more info on this later.
• if they don't fall for our money trap, you know what you have to do

phase 2: get as drunk as you possibly can

• it will help you defend against the witch's mind control powers
• liquor not beer, this step has to be done quickly

phase 3: interrogate them until they admit to being a witch

witches POV below

phase 4: Call the police, they can handle it from here

out of all the fun things to argue about, this is what we're going with this week?

Nah I don't think so I'll be back later

Diluting the pool of actual competitive teams in 1a even more than it currently is, what a good idea...

This is now a thread about why the success factor needs to go

if you cannot beat every school your size, then you are not a real state champion

It punishes programs for being good, in order to reward programs that do not work as hard as said programs

you know what

I changed my mind

there is no need for a success factor if we only have one class to begin with

I want a tournament with every school in the state playing in the same division

3 games a week

imagine people whining about losing to Chatard when they were going to have to play Brownsburg or BD in two days anyway

While were at it, lets scrap the mercy rule and move to 18 minute quarters as well

Could only hope
I miss that guy

I'm only on the hook for 2 beers to @temptation this season

but if you want in I'll give you 21 in the 4a game @BTF for a beer

but I aint forgot the one you already owe me from last year

I don't do food on state championship weekend, ruins the mood of a nice drinking weekend
