Sigh.  Stop being so sensitive.  I have no agenda.  Recent stats are all that matter.  Enjoy your titles from the 90s.

Its the same deal in the SEC.  I dislike the fact that the CFP has been anticlimactic in most years.  

 

What stats SHOULD I be citing in your opinion?

And at least I list my school that I went to and played for . My guess is the only Football you ever played was in a video game , but you talk smack about Northern schools . I have a blue ring that I earned in football , how many do you have ?

Navel gazing won't get you that far on this forum.

And if we're going back to year 2000, it's only fair to include the Snider 2004 team. I maintain, they were the best team in the state during the regular season when they had their D1 running back. Warren was given a gift with him sitting on the bench with a broken ankle. Few and far between, whatever, I get it. 

Yes, that was a great game that could have been even greater.

Not bitter , but you have always had Indy area Homerism and pretend you want a team from the north to win a championship . 

I don't care if you're Bill Belichick. Temptation is spot on. 6A would be so much better if the threat from the North wasn't someone in Hamilton County. The North HAS NOT been competitive in State Championship games. It is sad, and I'm as MIC-Centric as anyone. I would love to see those old Ben Davis/Penn slobberknockers again that were decided by 7 points or less seemingly every time, but the last time Ben Davis and Penn played...well...I'll be kind. I respect the Kingsmen. I respect Snider and the other schools that BD has had battles with over the years.

Not going down this rabbit hole with you.  When it turns into a "my dad could beat your dad up" type of argument, you've already admitted defeat.

Speaking of your dad, it was cute to see @gonzoron give you a cute little emoji for your back talk.

True.  But thankfully Center Grove overcame it in 2015.

Of coarse your not going down any rabbit holes , you can't because you've never actually played a minute of high school football but think you know it all . I used to tell my kids the same thing when they were 16 .

We need a true 6A power in the North to rise up and challenge the Indianapolis area hegemony.  If for no other reason being we can use GoT images like this:

Throw in the VHS tapes of your glory days and pop open a cold one.  You'll feel better.  I promise.

Tired of this excuse.

Penn has had 3000+ students for two decades. Homestead and Carroll are both bigger than Center Grove. Westfield and its 2600 students came out of the North last year (with no mega enrollment school in the way) and gave CG all they could handle last year.

Westfield does not really =  "North".    We are talking about schools outside of Marion county and the surrounding doughnut counties.

Warren Central shouldn't be ranked 4th. The Warriors have lost 5 straight to Center Grove. Just my 2 cents 

I agree. I love the Warriors, but they have got to prove themselves before they get a top 5 ranking. I think they would agree with that sentiment as well. But I could be wrong.

I know where Westfield is located.

I’m tired of hearing about the enrollment “excuse” when it comes to a lack of competitiveness in state title games between Indy area schools and true northern schools. Westfield, at 2600 kids, was more than competitive in their state title game last year. A school like Penn can’t use their enrollment as an excuse as to why they aren’t competitive when they make it to the state finals.

Special program. Kudos to Coach Moore.

I get it, we all get it. You just want to pump your chest saying "we're the greatest." Hell, you can't even admit that your Irish have advantages. Luers fans go home every year disappointed after getting thumped by Snider. Is it because Snider has a better program? Hardly. They have an enrollment advantage and Luers doesn't have a metro of 2 million to recruit from, like a certain program in Indy does. When you have an advantage, it's okay to admit it.

Lol...........bla bla bla. The Rocks had one great season (more to come hopefully) and it still wasn't enough to come out on top of 6a. The rest of their good teams were 5a state caliber good. You guys have one really good example down there, Center Grove. Good for them. Coach Moore has done a fabulous job in building arguably the best program in Indiana.

Thanks for spicing up my very boring work morning, guys. That being said, and I've mentioned this before, when a true 'North' team wins 6A, because it will happen, they will be instant legends.

Much respect to the Kingsman, one of Indiana's Top 5 programs of all time. But I've got to side with Temp here. I think he gives an unbiased opinion regardless of the fact that he lives in Indy. It took me a few years to figure that out though, lol.

I don't see it happening any time soon. Possibly never. It has never happened before.

Ok, literally everything that has ever happened in the world had never happened before at some point lol. It'll take a special group and a special coach but it will happen.

I have 8.  1 from playing and 7 from coaching, but they have nothing to do with this topic.

Like him or hate him, Temp is honest.  It would be nice to see a team from north of Hamilton County or south of Johnson County in the 6A title game with a good shot to win.  People get tired of seeing Alabama and Georgia in the SEC championship and CFP.  New blood is always interesting.

Who would you rank in front of them?  Who else could stay within single digits of the team that has won 29 in a row?
