Next month!

It's almost here!  Our beloved game is only a few weeks away now!  It can't wait!

[Sparty]

Enjoy life and summer. It will be here soon enough.

Not sure if Temp’s preseason top 25 is happening this year.

The legalization of the transfer portal makes it an impossible task.

Indy and the donut counties will dominate 6A…after that it’s anyone’s guess.

Might as well take a stab at it.

Nah, I’ll wait until after week 1.

It’d be throwing darts at this point.

Fair enough, I'll start the pre-season, you can take it from there.

Looking forward to it.

Come on temp I hear it’s legendary. Take the stab do the top 5 for each class. Instead of top 25 overall to start season

Oh, that’d be even worse.  My knowledge below 4A is limited at best.

I actually like the idea of kicking it off and letting Temp take it from there. Our polls don't differ a whole lot if anyone is worried.

Our discrepancies normally revolve around Crown Point and New Pal.

Wait until I rank all 16 MIC/HCC schools in the top 25, lol.

Then it’s Cathedral, Chatard, Snider, Crown Point, New Pal, Roncalli, Merrillville, Valpo, and East Central in some order.

Valpo won’t be top 50 this year 😂

See, and this is why I gotta wait until after week 1.

Take out Valpo and put in Columbus North or Reitz?

(Also though I was halfway joking, I honestly think I could make the case for 15 (sorry North Central), of the 16 MIC/HCC teams to make the top 25.)

I'll have Crown Point in the top five, Snider and Carroll in the top ten, that should ruffle some Indy feathers.

Carroll and Crown Point took out the HCC's beloved top dog two of the past three seasons. What's the problem?

That being said, it would be irresponsible not to put at least one team from the North ahead of all but one team from the HCC. Right?

Crown point is gonna be nowhere near the level of talent the last 3 years. Outside of the TE I’m not sure they have anything else. Saw some footage of them so far and they don’t look superior. They look like the crown point of 4-5 years ago. The two teams in the DAC that stand out right now are of no surprise Merrillville and portage still has a good amount of talent

Struggling to count Buzea out, gotta see it to believe it.

I mean definitely not counting them out. But they are nowhere near on talent of teams of past coaches don’t make the team gotta have talent also. And between you and I I think there TEs are just overhyped they are both really good for DAC but put them in hcc or mic and they are probably rotational players

They’ll be “northwest Indiana good.”

I’m telling you man.  If they lose to Pike early, I’ll be insufferable on here.

Lol, can't say your wrong. And Homestead needs to show a pulse against Westfield and Noblesville.

Same with Carroll vs Center Grove and HSE. The Royals doubled them the last two times out. Carroll fought though, can't deny that.
