    IHSA competitive balance committee minutes

    Last time I checked, there are now 16 public schools getting a bye in each class during Week 10 due to the expanded playoff schedule setup. What about doing 9 games for both public and private and making Week 10 an open invite bowl like set-up for those 128 public schools and the 48 playoff...

    IHSA competitive balance committee minutes

    CPS schools already have different rules when it comes to eligibility for the state playoffs under IHSA such as non-qualifying conferences, so I imagine they would be exempted if this were to come into existence. I do see this action if executed leading to the NIPL, which does kind of exist in...

    Chicago Sun Times Final State Rankings 1. Mt Carmel 2. Brother Rice 3. Montini

    I haven’t broken down my rankings yet other than knowing that Mt. Carmel and Brother Rice are #1 and #2. But I am a big fan of settling it on the field and head to head matchups. However it is never that easy as you’ll get multiple teams splitting games against each other which makes this...

    I love that as a call when you're at their 45 knowing it needs to go 10 yards minimum. So if they recover it at most likely the 32 or 33 yard line you only give up 12 yards if it gets brought out to the 20 on a touchback. Makes the risk versus the reward so much more manageable.

    It is Concerning No Details for 5-8A Announced

    Well obviously I disagree. I just wasn't expecting on a high school football message board to actually have someone making the argument that we should have less high school football but whatever suits you. You 100% have the right to your opinion.

    It is Concerning No Details for 5-8A Announced

    Well no because we have this sport called baseball which is the near equivalent. Almost like flag football and tackle football. Just out of curiousity do you feel the same way about Girls Basketball, Girls Volleyball, Girls Soccer, Girls Swimming, Girls Golf and Girls Wrestling just to name a...

    State Games postponed??

    Good point and I thought about that as well. The winter storm warning starts at midnight down there and 3 AM in the suburbs so should be enough time before the snow is projected to really come down.

    State Games postponed??

    Nah been here as long as you have going back almost 20 years...unfortunately had to make a new profile due to the migration over here. I'm done debating this...you have your opinion and I have mine and clearly we aren't going to agree on this so no point in addressing it any more.
