Sectional 28: Bishop Chatard @Guerin Catholic - Round 2

[Lysander]

No thoughts on the game actually but, before I head out of town for a few weeks, I just wanted to offer another ongoing playground for folks to sh!tpost about their various rings, why Chatard shouldn't be in 3A and anything else having nothing to do with either the game or the thread.  If it were possible for both teams to lose I'm clearly aware that about 95% of the state would see it as optimal.

Regardless, best wishes to both teams.

Have fun ladies.  

Carry on.

PS - Anyone checked CalPreps this week?  Not that I agree, btw, but its certainly additional fodder.

Should be a great game.  Could make the case this will be Chatard’s toughest game of the tournament.

If your private island retreat doesn't have internet, I've heard you can use those rings in series to corral the interweb signal.

I’m ready for some more Cathedrals comments. I swear to God I am

My momma said North Central already packed up all their practice gear and equipment. Swear to god she did!

I can be found at Lysander’s Secret Polar Fortress of Ineptitude (vague reference No. 1) where I will have intermittent contact with the GID via my hamster wheel-powered HAM radio channeled through two Cracker Jack box rings (vague, if somewhat uninteresting, reference No. 2) allowing me to maintain periodic interweb contact via ionosphere bouncing (vague and somewhat more interesting reference No. 3 - see “Kelly’s Heroes”) to the last vestiges of the Free World as can only be found here on the GID.

Keep on rockin’ in the Free World, ladies, (kind of fun vague reference No. 4).

I think we might hear more about them when their semistate matchup vs. Laville comes around

They won't be in 3A after this season, correct? Success factored up to 4A

A Waterboy / Donnie Baker crossover is a match made in heaven!

Chatard must win both Sectional and Regional to progress to 4A.

I think that's correct.

Sounds like a Deer Camp in the U.P.

Did Chatard have QB1 in first game?

I think he got injured on the first drive of the game.

I've got you covered. 😂😂

90 extra minutes at the Trojan Horse tailgate? I’ll allow it!

This is now a thread about why the success factor needs to go

 

if you cannot beat every school your size, then you are not a real state champion

It punishes programs for being good, in order to reward programs that do not work as hard as said programs

 

 

you know what

 

I changed my mind

 

there is no need for a success factor if we only have one class to begin with

 

I want a tournament with every school in the state playing in the same division

3 games a week

 

imagine people whining about losing to Chatard when they were going to have to play Brownsburg or BD in two days anyway

While were at it, lets scrap the mercy rule and move to 18 minute quarters as well

Most people were happy with one class basketball.  They should get rid of the success factor.  Nobody seems to be in the right class.  One class football might stop some of the whining.

Yep, let's go back to one class,  a 10 game season and no playoffs like it was when I was in school. Totally agree.

It will eliminate all the whining and we won't have to listen to all those guys years later still 'catching that pass' on a high school football message board, or showing off that ring at the class reumion.

Changing football kickoff for a kickball game?  What is this world coming to?

Great movie.  

[Lysander]

To be clear, I am not complaining.  Pushing the game back to 8:30 will just allow me to toss back a few more warm libations while lounging in the Polar fortress in front of my IPad.

With that, I guess I have a couple of questions.  First, I guess I’m surprised a State Championship is played on anyone’s home field as opposed to a Neutral field like  any number of likely available HS or college locations in Indianapolis.  

Second, why is this game on a Friday evening vs. Saturday?  Strikes me it will be a pain for Leo folks to have to be in Indy on a Friday evening v. Saturday afternoon.  

Since you Evansville Memorial folks have a lot more experience with Soccer state championships maybe you can explain it.

PS - there is a certain irony in all this.  The Chatard Girls lost to Guerin in OT just a couple of weeks ago in the State tournament.

Boys and girls teams play the same weekend with all games at IUPUI.  3 classes.  2 games Friday, four games Saturday.
