The IHSAA has successfully navigated the virus through the fall season. No further need to press your luck given the potential downside Didn't you say you werent posting until the playoffs ended? Come on dude. Be a man of your word. 4 hours ago, Coach Harvey said: I find a severe lack of coherent and logical thought with your posts, but alas spewing any kind of misinformation during your "hiatus" is very much your modus operandi. I agree with this. +1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of that.."How do you let highschool teams play in there with fans when Pro cant even??" Pretty crazy to keep playing What are the percentage rates now? Last time I checked the whole state was at 8.5%, up from 7.5% the previous month. The worst hit counties (Marion and Lake, for example) are above 10%. The only thing that worries me is that I’m the numbers are currently trending in the wrong direction. Obviously we probably won’t get even close to a 20% rate statewide, I was just throwing out a number I thought would be reasonable to actually have the discussion of cancelling the tournament.

Coach Nowlin Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I would worry about Counties going to "RED" and if I am not mistaken, RED under guidelines means no ECA for anyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjay Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 This would have been a great season to do a small tournament. Take top 12 or 16 in each class and do a tournament. Use Sagarin to seed them and play it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the WRC, the schools have decided that even if the county has gone RED, extra curricular activities will continue. I think the local health departments must be loosening up on what they are advising. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gipper Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I will not jump on the “DT is crazy” bandwagon. COVID is not going away, many of my daughter’s classmates are in quarantine, and many other football programs not named the IHSAA have been hit hard. Coach Jeff Brohm of Purdue University has it, many players at Notre Dame have had it, even the NFL has been affected. We made it through the season, good for us, but why risk anything further? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been great in the past but this years ratings are bonkers Nothing wrong with Sagarin, MaxPreps, etc., etc. You simply can’t apply analytics to closed conferences because there aren’t any links to the remaining 310 teams in the state. It baffles me that folks can’t wrap their head around this. This year, the SIAC also became a closed conference (along with the SAC). Now you have 20 teams (@6.25% of the HS teams playing football) from 2 conferences from opposite corners of the State that you really can’t evaluate THROUGH ANY ANALYTICAL APPROACH until post-season play begins. The problem isn’t with Sagarin, MaxPreps, etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proposal: Vincennes goes to the Large School PAC conference and North Knox goes to the small school conference. We LOVE Knox county!! That leaves the PAC schools with two non-conference games and the SIAC teams with one.....and Vincennes won't crush their program with winning 2 to 3 games every year.

Honest question, do you think that those kids under some sort of sports/team discipline to limit their exposure opportunities or those kids under no discipline at all as regards exposing themselves to COVID are more likely to catch and spread COVID? I’d be willing to bet that kids under team discipline have actually limited the spread versus their non-sports contemporaries. My point being that proceeding with the season actually decreases the risk. Edited October 22, 2020 by Lysander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speaglefan Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 12 hours ago, DT said: Just go with Mythical State Champs by class this season and protect the kids from further outbreak. Rarely in state history have we seen such overwhelming favorites by class heading into the state tournament. The playoffs are really just a formality at this point. This might be the most predictable playoff in state history 6A - Center Grove / They will roll thru unchallenged 5A - Cathedral / Same as above 4A - Its a 4 team race between Mt Vernon, Mooresville, East Central and Roncalli 3A - Chatard / Same as 6A and 5A 2A - Andrean / Same as 6A, 5A and 3A 1A - Lutheran / South Adams appears to be the only challenger If Roncalli pulls it share of the weight, you will have "5" PP champs. What a joke! Are you smoking something? I have seen plenty a ranked team knocked out! Anyone is beatable any given day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS does not belong in the SIAC. They are a small country school. The SIAC is the big school conference for that part of the state. GS has a massively inflated view of itself, which emanates from the very top of the program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
