TheMole Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Just an idea but wouldn't it be fun to see an All-Star game between the two conferences.......Get the all conference teams together once all teams are done playing and just have a type of exhibition game. I know it's probably not feasible but just a fun idea to think about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tango Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This has been discussed before on GID. It sounds like a great idea and a wonderful way to raise money for charity just before the holidays, but when you start drilling down on the details its starts getting real complicated.

Wildcat1992 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Something similar was done back in the late 80's/early 90's. I believe it was the All-SIAC team vs a PAC/Big 8 all star team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years it was sponsored by Hardee's (or more likely the local franchise owner) and played at the University of Evansville. Once UE dropped football, the game lost its luster - playing on a college field - plus I think the City was something like 13-2 against the area.

I got asked to play but the game interfered with Legion baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched enough of both conferences to say the 1’s & 2’s would be some damn good matchups. Not sure all 4 teams on depth chart wouldn’t make for damn good matchups. Last time I checked it’s 11 vs 11. Can’t see SIAC being much better. Edited November 14, 2022 by Screagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan32 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Why do we still do "All City"? Not putting it down in any way....I just have never had anyone who could really explain it to me. What's the point, I mean your conference is your conference? Wasn't Castle the only team excluded for years....that just seems weird to me. They might be a great reason, I just haven't heard it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sponsored by the Evansville Downtown Quarterback Club and has been for 83 years. Any group is free to name whatever team they would like. Some large metro areas have all-city and all-county teams. Is there an All-County team named by the Clarion? There is one for Cross Country. https://www.pdclarion.com/sports/state-finalists-headline-2022-all-county-xc-teams/article_5202e882-9677-58b7-a660-2ec6b76e0d39.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHPatriots Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 The SIAC crushes the PAC? Really? After a mediocre PAC team beats the team in sectional that runs the table in the SIAC that is an ignorant statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altogether between both divisions, I count 6 all-conference QBs out of 11 teams. That has kind of an “everybody gets a trophy” feel to it.

Hart led the West to a victory. I've been meaning to digitize the game film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just have a 1st and 2nd team…and then have the POY be the one of the players on the 1st team? Doing it this way devalues the honor, IMO.

That would be an improvement. But why not the POY, too? I mean, they already have a lot of all-PAC players because of the two divisions. That’s understandable, because it has a lot of teams. But separating those awards adds 6 extra players across the two divisions. I don’t see that as a positive at all. I see it as dilution of what should be a big honor. Anyway, not my team’s conference. I just find that odd. Do a lot of conferences do their honors that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PAC "BIG" division has 42 All-Conference Players and the PAC "Small" Division has 47 players on it. Seems a little excessive to me in all honesty. Is the Honorable Mention kids equivalent to the 2nd team?? On the topic of SIAC all conference team vs PAC "Big" all conference team.... SIAC wins in a Landslide, unless Nick Hart coaches the PAC team... then I think the PAC wins by a million!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
