Last Friday was the first time Carroll was a honest/decisive underdog on paper all season and I’m betting they had a chip on their shoulder…and they probably should have. Can you have a chip two weeks in a row? Sure. But Carroll having to play CG/Brownsburg’s schedule sure as hell is not undefeated. (Yeah, I said it.) Doesn’t mean they can’t beat them in a one game scenario though. If Carroll wins on Friday, can we dub them as the best team in the state? Or will they only have won because they didn't play the same rigorous schedule that the Indy schools play? I feel like this is heading toward 'our teams are beat up physically, and your team is fresh.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't even about the predictions that CG will win by three touchdowns. I'm perfectly fine with predictions. But to say Carroll isn't Top 3 after beating the best team in the best conference?

It doesn't matter that Carroll crushed Penn or beat the #1 team in the state. Now they have to beat Center Grove to be considered Top 3. I'm not offended. I just like calling out Indy bullshit. Self-imposed warning point: 1 Why so fired up about predictions? The game will be played Friday night. Enjoy the ride…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, duly noted… In all fairness, Temptation has Carroll at #3 in his poll. I just took issue with FK's "but Carroll has a chance to join that discussion with a win next week." I figured they'd be allowed part of that conversation with a win over HSE. Anyways, I'll just roll with: The game will be played Friday night..........Bash Riprock Congrats to both Carroll and Center Grove on great seasons. Looking forward to a great match-up on Friday.............Coach Shanley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self-imposed warning point: 1 I might add Penn was a good football team this year. They crushed 4A and 5A teams playing in LOS this weekend. Played Cathedral very tough. Cathedral had 3 big plays that separated the two teams. Carroll came to our house and laid the smack down . I would never bet against them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to read too much into that but I thought it was interesting... No I did not find it weird. The IndyStar sends out and/or contracts photographers and/or videographers to several games. Those photographers and videographer are not the ones writing the articles. They will send those photographers and videographers to games that Indianapolis and surrounding county teams are playing in. HSE is one of those surrounding county teams. The ones writing the articles can't be at multiple games. The ones writing the articles covered: Torres - Bishop Chatard vs West Lafayette Neddenreip - Cathedral vs Center Grove Glespie - Roncalli vs East Central Haenchen - Lutheran vs North Decatur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Looking forward to watching this game, I think it will be closer than most people think. I predict Ft Wayne will bring a massive crowd down to the game, and CG wins by a touchdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slobberknocker Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I got to go with CG by 500 they are undefeated in their last 5 trips to Lucas Oil Stadium. I would love to see a tie. I do hope Carroll brings a big crowd, the more the better for Indiana football. CG +500 in crowd size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon Nation (student section) is as strong as any I'm guessing. Yes, they'll bring a crowd with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at 6A and 5A (it has been dominated by Indy area schools). Sucks to look at for those outside of Indy area schools but it is the truth.
