From what I can tell there are only two regionals this week without streaming video and this is one of them. 😡 Grudgingly, I think Cacade takes it. A month ago I would have said Tigers by a point, but something is off with the D since Rushville.

This aged well. Those stupid computers.

What happened to everyone? What happened to the Tiger D? Not the same since Rushville.

They are significantly better on both sides of the ball. It was just Rushville, but they scored 50 points in the 1st qtr and only had 6 offensive snaps.

They are keeping quiet because they don't want to look like fools after the game.

Here is a coffin for a K9.

We aren't replaying last year.

K9's will head to the coffin against JoJo's, but if they escape the six feet under this week it will only be a temporary respite 'cause the reaper is coming for the dogs. Finally the delusions of Coffin's K9 grandier will come to a final close.

That is some serious cognitive dissonance. Smack talking is one thing, but being delusional is another thing altogether.

Is he retiring? The Dogs will not win a single game in this sectional.

I have a 77" OLED 4k monitor. I saw nothing that indicates that the receiver lost control. I will admit that the video isn't super clear, I can't tell you he wasn't losing control, but I don't see any evidence he was either. The kneel down wasn't even controversial so I didn't mention it. Just wrong. There is no excuse either since I believe there is a horn.

Lawrenceburg at Batesville

Sorry, you were in this position, feeling this way while trying to make a call.

Thanks, Bobref. I wasn't sure. I was almost certain that was the rule at other levels, but I know there are often differences in high school rules. Context: The ball was spotted at the 17yd line. The line to gain was the 16yd line. It was 4th down with maybe 3min remaining in the 4th quarter. The possessing team was down 6 points.

I was watching the video stream. I had to rewind several times because I didn't understand what was happening and questioned whether I just saw what I thought I saw.

How is the spot determined after a completed catch? Please see gif and explain the verbiage of the rule that applies in this situation and where the ball should properly be spotted.

Congratulations Dogs. Go to Lucas Oil. I didn't expect the Tigers to lose over 100 yds on penalties and the kicking game. Those yards add up in close games.

The Sagarin is an excellent predictor. People who question it and think it plays favorites are people that tend to ignore data, don't understand how the Sagarin works, and are driven by "feelings" instead of facts. Smart people can adjust the Sagarin mentally for what it doesn't "know." In this case, when you add in the factors the model can't account for (missing players, added players, and a whole host of other variables) the needle moves more toward The Burg. Tigers by 7.

Sagarin isn't giving The Dogs respect? That is absolute nonsense. 🤣 By what mechanism do you propose the Sagarin is shortchanging the Dogs from Casket Town? If one of these teams isn't getting "credit" from the Sagarin it is the Tigers, because the Sagarin ignores out of state games and doesn't know about all the early season injuries to key personnel for the Tigers. Second, I will bet you a barrel of Tiger BL or $ equilavent that the Dogs don't win by two scores. Lord! You must have been at Tuba's when you made that post.

Seems like there is a hole in this thread?

I might be crazy, but I think this year's team is legitimately better than last. The individual parts might not look as good, but the sum of the parts seems to be better. Nothing against last year's team - they lost to the eventual state champ by 2 points in the regional. Another note, and clearly this is a personal opinion that will not be popular in some circles, but they simply threw too much last year. They were over reliant on a QB who was gifted as an athlete, but didn't seem to be able to get over the hump with decision making despite being a 4-year starter. Imagine this year's running attack with Yoon's passing ability when you need a big play or the defense is stacking the box.

Yea, very evident you didn't like Lawrenceburg by looking at your rankings and posts. Not high on Chatard either. Guess that explains why they are playing each other for the 3A championship.

Mishawaka? C'mon - you could have given Lawrenceburg some love after the dominating performance over Southridge. Sure, they are on the border - but shouldn't be excluded for Mishawaka.

Lawrenceburg 405yds - (396 rush) Southridge 226yds - (57 rush)
