    Caravan on ESPN

    Massey has MC ‐3 at home, but let me guess, if Massey had MC as a 10 point favorite you'd think it was accurate.

    The exception, not the rule.

    Bears

    In a bad QB draft that doesn't help you prove your point as to how great you think he is.

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    An Illinois preseason poll in March developed solely by an algorithm is about as useful as a eunuch at an orgy.

    IHSA competitive balance committee minutes

    Except no team would pass up a bye and risk injury going into the playoffs.

    Interesting, I wonder what caused that move.

    IHSA competitive balance committee minutes

    And once you decide on a school, and hopefully it's the right one for you and your family, how much extra on top of tuition will you be contributing to the football program if privates separate from the IHSA?

    I did. Your turn. What are your reasons why you feel that Minonk, regardless of their situation, should field a team? Simply because that's how it was 30-40 years ago? There's any number of reasons Stockton can do it and Minonk can't. Do boys even want to play football? Being that they can't...

It's also sad that you're so narrow minded that you believe just because there's successful small town programs around the state that they all must be the exact...

    Stockton made a comeback? In 52 seasons of playoffs they've been in the playoffs 35 of them. They've had a few down years, but overall they have been very consistent.

    You could have Frank Lenti and Gordie Gillespie running things and it won't change the fact that on the surface this appears to be a small, aging farming community with decreasing enrollment and interest in football. You can be an old school hard àss all you want but it doesn't change the...

    Why do you refuse to see the realities of 2026? How things worked 30-40 years ago don't always work today. Face it, less kids are playing football. 20-25 years ago could you have guessed Illinois would have around 50 schools playing 8 man football? For a basketball team you need 10-12 kids to...
