THE FAR EAST SIDE — As I’m preparing for my “HILARIOUS M.I.C. Football Weekly Preview: Sectional Edition” I run across some foolishness that stops me dead in my tracks. The No.1 team in the state, Warren Central or “DubZilla” as I like to call them because they’re chewing up everybody and spitting them out is playing a darn road game at Ben Davis this week.
Now I’m back on the same soap box that I was on when then No.1 Ben Davis in 2017 was driving around playing road games in the darn playoffs. Now they’ve got Warren doing the same foolishness. What’s the freakin’ point in playing the games if they don’t count for anything. If everybody and their baby’s momma can make the playoffs and then everybody has the same chance of getting a home game then why are we wasting time playing the 9 games before this week?
If the No.1 team in the state that’s averaging 53 points per game with an offense that is as explosive as we’ve EVER seen has to put on road gear and travel across town to play a team that they put 70 points on during the regular season something is terribly wrong.
The answer that keeps coming out of the IHSAA’s mouth is that we’re doing a blind draw. Why are we doing a blind draw if we’ve played the regular season to determine who should be where when the playoffs start? That makes no sense!!! How in THEE world is DubZilla even leaving the FAR EAST SIDE to play anybody? They’ve earned the right to play at home until they travel to Lucas Oil Stadium as a matter of formality.
Look here bruh, Jayden George The Incredible has put up 2,246 yards and scored 32 touchdowns as The Incomparable David Bell has dropped off 1,213 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. Then the lil’/big homie, Romeir Elliott, better known as Secreteriat from THE FAR EAST SIDE has shown, like my momma used to say, “his bare bottom” by running wild on boyz for 1,906 yards and scoring 27 touchdowns. The defense is NUTS as well, as they’ve blown everybody out on the schedule with the exception of No.5 Center Grove. They played them in Week 1 and only beat them 27-15. Why? Because DubZilla was still trying to figure out it’s appetite in Week 1. It really didn’t know how much it could eat then.
You know what, I’m even cool with a boy telling me that they like to do a blind draw if the higher ranked team always plays at home. At least make the regular season count for something. Having teams playing anywhere doesn’t make any sense and especially having DubZilla traveling anywhere but from the school across their own parking lot to the stadium is ridiculous.
Well I guess it doesn’t make a bit of difference this year just like it didn’t last year because it’s all a matter of formality. They may as well ship the trophy over to Warren Central and start hoop season early because there isn’t a gangster’s chance of surviving at a prep school of them getting knocked off in these playoffs. But I’ve got to keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st anyway right? Stop me when I start lyin’!
We only get one home game before LOS!
