BLACKGOLD2007 Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 1 hour ago, Slobberknocker said: Here is an AI computer generated response to your Question, Not Mine: City speed and country speed are terms that some people use to compare the athletic abilities of football players from different regions. The idea is that players from urban areas have more speed and agility, while players from rural areas have more strength and endurance. However, these terms are not based on any scientific evidence and may reflect stereotypes or biases. There are many factors that affect a player's performance, such as coaching, training, nutrition, genetics, and motivation. Therefore, it is not fair or accurate to judge a player's speed based on where they come from. Thanks AI, that is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how it can generate amazing responses like this one. Pretty soon, it will be able to replace Temp's top 25 list. Who needs humans when you have machines that can make better list than them? I'm sure Temp will be very happy to retire and let AI take over making his lists. Ha ha ha, just kidding.

"I think this team should be on the top 25 list" but questions if they are in the top 25 this year's lists are much better than last year's no need to downgrade them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxbat Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 (edited) 17 hours ago, Komets2727 said: What is “city” speed or “country” speed? Fast is fast, period Old GID favorite that came out around 2011 when LCC was headed for three-peat and its third undefeated season in a row and featuring speedster, Danny Anthrop, in his senior season. LCC was scheduled to face Scecina at LOS and, in the run-up week to the state finals, there was plenty of talk about the two teams, with several folks talking about just how fast Anthrop was and just how forcefully the LCC defense had shut down everyone that season. A Scecina supporter, in response, chimed in and stated that LCC hadn't seen "city speed" yet ... compared to "county speed." LCC beat Scecina like a rented mule, holding their top rusher to 35 yards, while Anthrop racked up over 250 yards. Instant classic and long running joke on GID.

And that was without throwing the football. When they did try to throw, it looked pretty dismal. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised when seeing his name listed among the top QB's in the state during the off season. So option QB's aren't quarterbacks anymore??? I didn't realize that rule had been changed....what would you call the kid that takes the snap from center and then makes all of the decisions that distribute the ball to his teammates in an effort to matriculate the ball down the field an score on the opponents defense? Whatever you call him....seems this kid did that pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you call him....seems this kid did that pretty well You're taking this a little too personal. I'm not insulting the kid, just wondering if he can throw the football is all. Even as a coach, you have to admit, that part of a quarterback's evaluation involves his ability to distribute the ball to the receivers. Is he a great fit for his team? Absolutely, considering the scheme that his coach runs. Normally though, when seeing a quarterback ranking, it's just presumed that the ranking is based on how the player will play at the next level. I saw him play one game as a junior, hence my comment. Someone came on here and stated that he actually can throw the ball. Kudos to him. He'll make a fine college quarterback I'm sure.

Just rubs me the wrong way when we don’t appreciate the full depth and breadth of high school football, of which the option offense is alive and well. if you can’t take a joke, and have to accuse someone making a joke of “taking it too personal”….you need to look in the mirror my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I think it's a reasonable measuring stick, but I'm not going to lay any money on them (#11) beating Crown Point (#12), Warren Central (#14), Carmel (#15), Snider (#16), or Carroll (#17). In fact, every one of those teams beats Lutheran by multiple scores. I'm not predicting a running clock, because Lutheran does have a good team. But we have to be realistic and understand that Sagarin isn't the end all be all. I think Lutheran sits somewhere between 25-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are good enough to be in the Top 10% of all schools in the state as a 1A, they're pretty competitive and closer to Top 25 than more than 90% of the state.

Adams Central is right behind them. Looking forward to that matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
