1. I agree. With many area D3 conferences moving to a spring schedule this season, should open up plenty of Saturday opportunities if needed (and some much needed referees as well)

The lack of college football helps a little with officials but not significant. There are approximately 800 licensed high school officials needed on a regular Friday night. Most of the D3 officials in Indiana also work high school games Friday night so there is minimal impact there. The HCAC has 42 officials and 25-30 of them also work Indiana HS football. There are probably about 10-12 D2 college and 12-15 D1 college officials and some of them are working HS this year which helps. The number of cancellations though is the biggest help with the shortage. A few crews and individual officials chose not to work, but there are still several crews sitting out each week.

Brownsburg has become what Ben Davis used to be.  A high school campus where the football program is the number one priority.  

This is just more clueless talk from you...

 

Ben Davis was in the SEMI-STATE LAST YEAR!  They were 1 TD away from going back to LOS and playing a team they BEAT in the regular season.  BD is about an ENTIRE MONTH behind Brownsburg in terms of time in the weight room and on the practice field.  They're probably going to get walloped again this Friday, but sadly for the Giants, they're struggling due to COVID, not because the program is in trouble.  

 

Their last 6 years prior to this include 4 Semi-State appearances and 2 State Championships.  Hardly signs of a program that is struggling.

 

Brownsburg on the other hand, when was the last time they made a Semi-State?  1985?  When was the last time they won a Sectional?  2009?

Finally, Brownsburg returned 17 starters from last years team.  Next year when the playing field is leveled, we'll see who comes out on top.  My money is on BD.

DT doesn't really care. He got people going. That's his motivation.

Im just one of those people that says that whatever BD does on the field, it never seems to be enough.

Frankly, thats not fair to the Giants, but it is what it is when you look at things from a pure high school football perspective.

Because of BD's history and heritage, the standard and the bar can never be set high enough.  They are the NY Yankees of IHSF.  They are the Green Bay Packers.  The Montral Canadiens.  The Boston Celtics.  Notre Dame and Michigan.  Secretariat.  Edwin Moses.  Mark Spitz.  Arnie and Jack.  Dan Gable.  

When they fail, heads turn.  People notice.  Whats wrong with Ben Davis?  Dont they still have 4600 kids and a 20 man coaching staff and the best facilities in the state and an unlimited athletic budget?  

How could these city studs get mercy ruled by the farmers and subdivision babies of Brownsburg?

BTW.  Its not too hard to make the semi state in 6A.  CG falls out of bed and finds itself in the semistate every year.

For those who are blessed with an overabundance or resources, much is expected.  And demanded by some.

Until Ben Davis University downsizes and becomes just another 3000 student Indy Metro donut school,  my expectations will remain in the stratosphere for the Purple and White.

Ben Davis University High School only has 410 students (2019-2020) 😉

Actually WC (3) and Avon (1) in the last 4 regionals the Trojans advanced.  To get to state last year, they had Warren and BD.  State in 2016 was Warren and Avon, the latter being a classic 2 OT game.

Fall out of bed....wow...

When you make semi state 10 out 12 years, thats the perception

It cant be that hard when you make it look so easy

What you don't realize is those teams they are beating are very good. It's just that the MIC is really good. And they prove it every year in the tournament. There is a reason LN, LC, Pike, NC on down years still rank high in Sagarin. BD and WC may struggle in the MIC this year, but I expect they are still really good teams. Brownsburg, Avon, Fishers, and HSE are getting better and can beat a MIC team on any given Friday.

Yeah. Love how you bashed Mike Kirschner for years. Kept calling for his dismissal, etc. Said nothing when he won two titles.

Being bashed by DT when you're the HC at BD is common. Nothing's new. Same pot same stirring spoon.

I guess most of this is right,  but your state run was 2015.  And CG lost to Avon in regionals in 2017.

 Still had to get through Warren and BD to make 2016 finals. BTW, I didn’t say to win state.  But it was a state run in 2016. 
 

Yep, sure did lose to Avon in regionals in 2017. More proof that CG doesn’t fall out of bed to make SS. 

They just slept in late that year..............................
