Rodney

the game is going to be 75 to 0

and let me tell you about risky bets

if EC drops a game in the playoffs I lose a toe

you people bore me with your safe predictions

where is the saying snider goes undefeated and temp replying they couldn't win a game

Temptation is hitting at nearly an 80 percent rate…eventually folks will start listening.

I propose we increase the size of our bet dramatically 

to two beers

unless your scared

Don't forget me

I predicted no 4a game in the north matters

It’s so clear now, @Titan32 is sad because his boy won’t get to win another state championship because they don’t have another Brady Allen at the helm. A truly gifted player and a generational talent at the 3A level. He should be proud of his one ring. You should be proud of your son. Hopefully your kid can go on to do great things in life and you can let go of the sadness. 

lets be real here, they barely scraped out a win on a down year in 3a

Sticks and Stones....Remember this "just bought my kid a ring"....Jesus loves us for FREE!

Your ring $105,240

My ring $0.00

Having Jesue love us for free.....priceless!

something something something calling your son's ring "your" ring.

What is the Principal behind not being a GID booster?  Waiting on another bet to pay it off>?   Appreciate all who choose to contribute.  

if I become a booster do I acquire free reign to say whatever I want

Also do I get my negative 10 million back

technically its -9,999,950 or something but im willing to start over at 10 million

is copy pasta

   i'm still confused...

None of this explains Northwood at 23.... maybe their one point win over Mishawaka or the 24 point loss to Warsaw ?

 

BTW, thanks for the badge of honor !  I'll wear it with pride !!!

Temp likes to throw undeserving teams a bone every once in awhile to appease the fans, it was ever prevalent in his lists last year

With a million dollars on the line, you’re really picking Ben Davis and Brownsburg to beat Center Grove?

If I had a million bucks to bet, 6a is absolutely not where I'm betting it

1 hour ago, dazed and confused said:

i''m confused

Why Northwood at 23 ?... not only ahead of Warsaw but they lost to Northridge who gave said Warsaw team a better game !!!

 

I agree

Seems like temp tryna convince himself 

u got 27.5 pretty sure

23. making a late resurgence, getting more confident in your bet?

2. Change the Success Factor point requirements for bumped teams to simply need 1 point to stay “up”.  That by itself might solve the “Chatard” problem (but it’s also a Memorial problem) in 3A….but I guarantee you’d solve it by not always pairing them with Roncalli in conjunction with changing it from 1 point to stay up a class.

They should remove the SF, that way some 5a schools can win state championships Sorry GS maybe next century

Your Parkhurst part deux shtick isn't very funny. So, I'm not sure how to make you laugh. 

Shtick..., what nonsense I have no shtick!

I'm very versatile

I love forming brilliant ideas to better high school football in Indiana, such as the post-game zebra press conference

I love making wild claims that can't technically be proven incorrect

I love fighting with BTF about how there is no real football north of Indy other than a few FT Wayne schools

I used  to love poking fun at 1a football, but apparently, I can't do that anymore (freakin communist is what it is)

Most importantly I love the images in my head of you angrily responding to things I write.

About the Parkhurst thing, I set my team to Merryville the day they lost last year in hopes of messing with him every time he posted anything

unfortunately, he disappeared so that didn't pan out

Am currently taking applications for my next "team"

send suggestions to my inbox ye

currently thinking about becoming a GS fan and posting a weekly thread about how Chatard should be in 4a so we can be relevant

If I had a "shtick" it would be pressing enter at random intervals in my paragraph

I completely agree 5A watered down. Just don't think it's as bad as some say. And if the problem is that a select group of teams in or formerly in 4A (Cathedral, Roncalli, East Central) along with generational great teams (Columbus East, New Pal) can win at 5A then maybe they shouldn't have been in 4A in the first place and voluntarily stepped up a class. Looking at this year, I'll be curious to see if East Central's playoff SOS would have been stronger at the 5A level. 

Looking at enrollments, you are spot on. 2A-5A would be MUCH better if it was 1A that was split into 32 teams. That would have put the following teams into 5A:

• Kokomo
• Northridge
• Evansville Reitz
• East Central
• Hobart
• New Pal
• Roncalli 

Would at least make 5a interesting every year, though I'd imagine the current 5a schools wouldn't be happy about it.

It would also kill 4a the way 5a currently is. And 4a would just become the chatard memorial show. Taking turns winning while the other was holding down 3a

Prove it. The Vikings weren't flashy. But not many 4A teams had a defensive front seven that could have handled Valpo's big OL and 6' 230 RB (Davis) running power off tackle all night.  
 

Dont make me laugh

Valpo would’ve won the Evansville sectional but other than that no lies told. 

I think memorial has a 50% chance of beating valpo

Ouch, that hurt. I would think that is kind of like M-Ville inability to win a semi state title with all that D1 talent they have year in and year out for 30+ years??

So were all on the same page here

You know I'm not from merrillville right...

I just wanted to write that we have 100 d 1 athletes all summer

Hell my "team" has changed like five times in two years

2015 all over again. 

imagine for a minute Valpo in 4a South last year

woulda been out in sectionals.

why talk about an 8 year old game when we can talk about Snider literally handing a state championship away last year

1 hour ago, temptation said:

What’s  @Rodney say about a potential Snider/EC matchup?

I think EC scores as much as they want and steals all their girlfriends

I've said before I believe memorial could have won 5a last year, though they wouldn't have been favorites

I doubt many will disagree that chatard could make a run most years

Valpo could have at least made it to state in 4a last year? They would have gotten massacred though

I was asked to split 4A in half. I also did top to bottom averages for both 4A and 5A. There isn't a huge difference once everything is averaged out. 

And the original argument was that 5A has been watered down since the inception of the success factor because the majority of 5A state champions have come from 4A enrollment schools. 

When we talk about the strength of a class I dont imagine anyone thinks of any team outside the top 5

As in last year the 4a top 5 beats anyone in 5a

This year EC beats anyone in 5a, after that I have no idea probably a mix
