That Edgy don’t protect me from bullies. It’s rule #1. Calling me a clown yet if I defend myself I’m flushed or banned

If you swapped Althoff and Tolono‘s schedules, I’m pretty sure the Crusaders would be eight and one also. Or better.

I do not think Tolono would have a better record if they played the Crusaders schedule. Both of our opinions are subjective.
I guess we will have somewhat of an idea to how they would compare with Tolono Playing Mt. Vernon this week.

Gonna be a potentially ugly post-season I'm afraid from everything I've looked at so far
Probably...I know Moline will eventually run into someone they can't push around. Sterling and Geneseo will be in a brutal 4A north. Quincy and UT will be one and done. Personally, im just hoping the two 4A schools can make a bit of noise before bowing out.

That Springfield High is weak in leadership and coaching. A quarterback threatens to take off his pads because his receivers aren't catching

that is incorrect.
Was it the part when he threatened to take off his pads? Or was it the part when they sat their stud receiver? Both are severely lacking in leadership. Just a Marine asking as to why the leader of a team would quit on his team.

i'm not sure what being a marine has to do with this. i can tell you the qb was benched for other issues.

are you also a father? do kids always make the best decisions? do they ever say anything in haste?

i'm pretty sure i know the whole story.

the receivers were sat for injury issues to allow them to get a more rest for the playoffs. it had nothing to do with receivers not catching.

I'm glad those "OTHER ISSUES" have been explained. When I asked players, they said he got mad and threatened to take off his pads.
What the Marine has to do with this is in case you decided to ask what leadership has to do with this.
Yes, I'm a dad.
yes, the BACKUP receivers were not catching....as I stated. How convenient to have been injured during Rochester week, in which they knew they were going to get exposed as the 5-4 team they are.

You lead from the front. And you don't sit and take losses without trying.

If your knowledge of the situation is superior, please explain the "why" as to quitting on the team, sitting because you're scared on an injury, and why teammates repeated this to me.....

I thought Springfield Solons were tough and hard nosed. Guess not....afterall, they are named after Illinois government officials. So what is one to expect from a program which is winless all-time against Rochester.

It's a huge flex. Most teams in this state ONLY schedule teams they think they can beat. Very few schedule more than one team that they know will give them problems. If Althoff make the playoffs, they will be battle tested and will make a nice run in 3A.
Since the opportunity to schedule non-conference opponents began in the fall 2021 Season, Oswego has done a great job of scheduling quality opponents.

Lots of late points
Watched some of the game on livestream last night, Wauconda did not look like a 9-0 team, Lakes had them sweating it out. I think some lower seeded team will knock Wauconda out. I think the difference was 2 pick 6's that Wauconda returned.

i'm not going to state what i know as a fact. i'm not throwing coaches or players under the bus. i guess you will just have to keep asking his 'teammates'.

superior? sure, you can say that. since i'm in my 37th year of coaching football and just helped my 6th different team get into the playoffs, i'll take that as a compliment. i really think you are blowing this way out of proportion.

and in all seriousness and respect, thank you for serving our country.

In the 1 common opponent they shared one team lost the other won decisively.
