PHJIrish Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 IMHO, it's much more prestigious to receive a scholarship to play at TOSU than win Mr. Football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Sad to see him leave the State, and REALLY sad, but nowhere near as much as @temptation to see him go to osu 🤣. Staying out of the Mr. Football conversation completely. Best of luck to Mr. Curry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I never said that. He could go to the University of Phoenix and still be a top draft pick if he’s as good as advertised, which I think he is. 2nd and foremost my response wasn’t about pro potential it was your silly requirements for Mr. Footballs. The award has nothing to do with where they decide to play in college or how good they might be after high school. STATE LAW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should an award for the top player in Indiana have anything to do with if they choose to play college football in Indiana or not? Lots of factors these young men look into (and it doesn't always involve football, can also involve academics, Major choices, family history). So basically your saying we should for go giving Mr. Football to a player that elects to play at a high academic University that is successful in football for someone with less talent that decided to go to Purdue, Indiana, Ball State who have not had the same success and may not (depending on the College) be as prestigious. Doesn't make sense. That is like saying a College player shouldn't get the Heisman if they were to get drafted by the Steelers, Patriots, 49ers, or Cowboys. Should only get that award if they go to the Lions. Edited December 16, 2021 by FastpacedO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The award is for the best football player that played High School Football in Indiana, not the best Indiana High School Football player that elected to play college football in Indiana. My attempt at equivalency is that Ohio State, Alabama, and Clemson have had more National Championships in football than Indian, Purdue, and Ball State (Notre Dame is a different animal with academic requirements). Steelers, Patriots, 49ers, and Cowboys have won a bunch of Super Bowls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot take…..more than half of the people in Indiana would be better served by leaving and going to another state. too many stay because of family and keep the BS factory job or whatever and live a very unhappy life. would be better if many people left and made it out on their own before deciding to move back and pour into the local communities. the state of Indiana is traitor to its own people in many cases and many of these young kids should go out and explore other areas to see what the rest of the US/World is like.

I will personally say Indiana and Purdue will pay more attention to lesser touted recruits from (Texas, Florida, and Ohio) than they will top recruits from Indiana. I think it is a shame because some great players leave Indiana to play at out of State Colleges because Indiana and Purdue do that exact thing. I may try to do some research when I get some free time, but I would bet some big hitters in NCAA D-1 do a pretty darn good job of recruiting and focusing on the top players from their own State. I will exclude Notre Dame from this discussion because there are many factors that makes it different. 13 hours ago, DumfriesYMCA said: Hot take…..more than half of the people in Indiana would be better served by leaving and going to another state. too many stay because of family and keep the BS factory job or whatever and live a very unhappy life. would be better if many people left and made it out on their own before deciding to move back and pour into the local communities. the state of Indiana is traitor to its own people in many cases and many of these young kids should go out and explore other areas to see what the rest of the US/World is like.

I have made a good living in Indiana just would rather be in warmer climates! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
