Congrats! You saved $250k by not playing at Wabash and getting an Education Degree that you will use to get a job as a Gym Teacher for $35k in Podunk, Indiana.

Spent a couple summers with him at Wing-t Camp. He was a great guy. Unbelievable to think that both him and Bibler are gone. Got to spend a good amount of time with each of them. They were both high character guys. I feel for the TV community.

Jeff Phillips resigned at last nights board meeting. He informed the players yesterday.

I get it from MC's side. But this is not a good add for HH. They are a 3A football program. If they beat MC, great. They are supposed to. If they lose, it is not a good deal for them.

No offense to MC, but what is HH doing? This is a lose/lose for them. They are the second largest school on the East side of the Hoosier Conference and might be the second or third largest overall in the entire Hoosier. This is not preparing them for conference play. On the flip side, this is a good add for MC.

How many did he have? Cass does not get their stats sent to Maxpreps. We link our Hudl to Maxpreps but they won't ever appear. The Humphrey kid made it and he had 136. He also was a great TE for us. Could have made it at either position IMO.

#1 is not true. Being patient does not guarantee anything. If you really want be a head coach and do not have a pedigree, you should probably be willing to take on a head coaching position that is not real desirable. Many of the points still need to be done. You need networking to have connections to assistant coaches, and you need to continue to grow through professional development. You cannot have a prepared wife. She will not be ready for what she experiences. She just needs to be committed to you as a support system. If you are young and unmarried, stay that way.

Mike Otto went to the NFL not Brian.

There are three classes in a row of low numbers. The senior class is the strongest of the three, but it has few difference making athletes. It has a hand full of solid guys, but it will not be enough to make up for the weakness of the next two classes. It is going to be a rough road to go.

Well, time to start a new chapter. I feel that the East will be a race between Western and TIpton for the top spot. I will probably give the nod to Western. They will be big again and Padgett is a beast. Tipton will not be able to match up physically with the the 4a monster. The bottom will be a fight between Cass and Northwestern. HH will be the best of the rest. On the West half it will be a slugfest. WL, LCC, and RC will all be very tough. I think that WL will be down slightly from where they have been but still very strong. LCC returning a ton of talent and RC has cats everywhere. I am going to pick RC preseason. TL is a mystery. Competed with everyone but can't win games. They lost to teams that I thought they would beat. It seemed they played to the level of their competition, but they never got over the hump. Maybe Coach Mannering will get them there next year. I see BC improving and competing better. They may get out of the bottom west next year. I think the championship will stay in the East with Western winning in the crossover. I'm sure there are other opinions out there.

Honestly, it makes not difference to the visiting team. But it does make for a cool environment.

After an 11 play drive(10 run and 1 pass) that resulted in a TD, FR comes back on the next drive with three straight pass plays. The result set the tone for the rest of the game. The Houston defense got a little energy back, and we could not get it going again. If we were going to go for it on 4th and 7 later, why not run the ball on 3rd and 7. This game proved once again that TY is not a NO. 1 receiver in this league. No receiver for the Colts can get separation and Brissett cannot seem to fit the ball into tight windows. I still put this on Ballard. We went out and did nothing in the FA market to help TY. Funchess was going to be a stretch, and we see how that has turned out. Is he going to return? A ten week recover is now going on 12 or 13 weeks. Now that Mack is hurt we do not have any explosiveness at the RB position. Good thing is we have tons of cap space left so we can resign all of our middle of the road talent back. Now to the defense. Played pretty well against the run and pass for the most part. Gave up to many deep passes. Not sure what help we are giving to the corners in man coverage if any. Hooker just looks lost in the passing game and Geathers is not any better. I really feel that we are just a good safety and great pass rusher away on defense. I am really not sure how you fill all of these holes through the draft. We will need a kicker, pass rusher, safety, right tackle, right guard, 2 receivers, and a backup QB. Some might suggest a starting QB. We will need to address LT soon as Castanzo is no spring chicken. Maybe everyone was to quick to give Ballard all the praise for building through the draft. Cain is gone. Campbell is looking like a bust. Hooker can't play. Smith is outmatched every week at the right tackle position. He has required chips from a TE or RB in pass pro in order to give Brissett time to scan the field and then run or throw it away. I am pissed about last night. This season could be and should be much better. We have given away too many games. We are going to win just enough to miss a good draft position and not enough to make the playoffs. Good Grief!

I believe he is going to James Madison.

It still took a while for Coach FR to move in that direction. I am not sure smarts is the best way to describe Brissett's inability to move the ball down the field consistently. I don't think he sees windows of opportunity well. I also feel like he does a poor job of stepping up in the pocket. Many times he tries to escape the rush by running around it. He then must get rid of the ball. When he does step up, good things happen. I hope Mack can play with the hand injury. My guess is he will not. It has taken Funchess way to long to come back from the broken collarbone.

Last year Cass had to plan for it twice in three weeks...Ugh! It is not fun. Very hard to simulate in practice. It takes about two series to get up to speed. By then you are down 14 before you can blink.

Started my coaching career with Coach Radke at Griffith in 1994. It was a great experience for me early in my career. He taught me so much about the preparation side of the game. Hours and hours of film study. Had some great times at Bridges after the games and Dave and Lees the next morning. I think I have the names right. Its been a few.

This is a decision made weekly by the HC and OC. We got behind in the scoring against WL by missing an extra point early. Chased the points and got back on track and resumed kicking. Against Pioneer, the decision was based on their ability to score 2 every attempt. Against LaVille, It was determined that they would not be able to stop us from 3 yards out. Andrean???? Better figure out how to score first.

I don't think so. It is sectional finals week for 6a and 5a. 2a will take a backseat for a while.

It just makes sense.

What if the heater was purchased by the football program? Our kicker has a kicking net. It is an net we have purchased by the program. Does both teams need to be provided a kicking net? To me, this is a classic case of the IHSAA over regulating crap that cannot be regulated. I think Bobref is partially right. Regular season all those answers are no. If you move into tournament play, I would say the heater is a no go unless you provide it on both sidelines.

Was the player missing from the Miss/EB game a running back or some other skilled position?

This is a good and fair assessment of what WL does. They beat many HC opponents by talent and numbers. Their schemes on both sides of the the ball are very simple. It is usually enough in the HC and for their state run last year . They were loaded a year ago on defense, and it made for great pressure and run stopping ability. They are still talented up front but not like last year. So, if you can protect your QB, you will shred their secondary because they stay in cover 3 every down. On offense, they run very simple concepts at you fast. If you stop their bubble game and inside zone, they slow down the tempo trying to figure you out. They have a very effective down field attack and if Adams(qb) gets loose, he can run like a deer. Key to beating WL...you must make them punt. You must score when they do punt. You must get turnovers. I have not seen Chatard, so I cannot tell you if it will be a game or not. I do know that WL can have you down quick, and they will not take the foot off the accelerator if they have it rolling.
