That's part of it too. It's just not the blue collar community that it was 30 years ago. It was pretty much our fans, especially the parents, that made Glesing want to leave. Our community better be careful or they're gonna run off another good coach.

Apparently every school is running Glesing off these days. Four schools in the six years since leaving Floyd Central.

A lot of people here have money and are used to getting their way. That kind of mentality can spread like a virus.

Gotcha. I knew there was a lot of money there but didn’t want to assume that was the reason for it. You guys are very successful in athletics overall in the HHC so I wasn’t sure if that’s where the entitlement came from or the money itself.

We have a pretty entitled fanbase. Myself included. I know that I've brought a lot of it on myself, especially on this board. I just hope nobody holds it against coach Bragg or any his players. It's not them behaving like that.

Where would you say that entitlement comes from? Other than one fan after the East and Floyd Central game, I’ve never had an issue with Floyd Central. Then again, I’m not around you all enough to know.

Gee a guy posts one image of a baseball player on a football page and don’t check it for a day. Come back and see that chaos has ensued.  I guess it’s a good think I didn’t post a soccer player of this whole board may have fallen.  

You would have had major heat with me if you’d posted a pic of a soccer player 😂

Missed some fireworks on here last night! 

Nah. Nothing to see here. 😂

Question for @Impartial_Observer. Are there referees who can work both IHSAA games and games of another state? If I was a ref and I lived near the border of Indiana and either Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, or Michigan I’d want to have as many options open as possible. Therefore, I wasn’t sure if this was something that was possible for a ref to do.

My mistake, I thought they only had one. 

No worries. I mean, I don’t think it’s really going to matter. Then again, crazier things have happened.

Congrats to FC on clinching a share of the conference. BNL, big call going for two, I’ll never argue a coach’s call on that. 

It was definitely the right call. They just couldn’t execute it.

As for Floyd Central, they still have two HHC games left. Unless some sort of miracle happens in which they lose out to Jennings County and New Albany, they’re going to be champs for the first time in 20 years. Well-deserved. Coach Bragg, his staff, and all those kids deserve all the credit.

This is me begging you to leave this thread up. We’ve worked too dang hard to get to 163 pages. We HHC football fans don’t have much to cheer about but we at least have this thread. It’s the only thing we have on the rest of the teams and conferences in the state.

I mean, are….we….surprised? 

Nope

New Albany 29

Jeffersonville 7

Final

Floyd Central 28

BNL 27

Final

I didn’t see a final score posted so I figured I’d add it. Found clips of the game on the BNL Athletics Twitter. Looks like BNL got a TD with 47 seconds left to pull within one. They went for two but the handoff to the RB wasn’t clean and it resulted with players falling on the ball. Floyd Central survives.

Bloomington North 42

Columbus East 0

Final

Columbus East got outgained in yardage tonight 403-52.

I have laughed all the way home from Triton Central. And yes @Frozen Tundra Coach Stafford is still in the staff. Got a chance to talk to him at half time. 

Unreal. Glad to hear he’s doing well enough to keep coaching. Can’t believe he’s still doing it.

162 pages of pure entertainment. One of the worst football conferences in the state and yet we have plenty to talk about. I love you guys.

This will be the first week this season that I won’t be attending a game. However, since I saw two games in week 2, it all evens out. Nevertheless, best of luck to everyone tonight and keep us posted on the scores.

Still need week 7 picks from:

Kind of says it all about 5A doesn’t?  

Frankly, most years as regards “true” 5A sized schools with the exception of Snider,  the 3A and 4A champs are likely better than the best 5A school.

I’d add that I have STRONG doubts as to either of the Bloomington teams being an actual top contender.  I expect the winner to come from the North…most likely Snider.  

I recognize the Bloomington South team this year might be different from the South teams I have seen over the last 5-8 years when they played Circle City Conference teams but I always thought, personally, they were a little “spongy”. 

Yeah I think Snider beats the winner of sectional 13 in the state championship. The Bloomington schools aren’t very reliable.

There were times I was watching it, where I wasn't really sure what I was watching? Lol.

Oh there actually was a debate? I thought @Impartial_Observer was just being funny.

Sagarin, MaxPreps, and CalPreps all agree that the top teams in 1A, 3A, and 4A are all better than the top team in 5A. Did you guys enjoy the debate last night?

My opinion is that the top team in 5A isn’t legitimately a top 5 team in 5A. They’re just the only one that’s undefeated.
