    USC Vs ND

    The snooty way of saying you're wrong and you're losing the argument. Enjoy the last of your holiday weekend.

    USC Vs ND

    It might appear that you're a dumbass because you are, in fact, a dumbass. And when I made the original post Utah and Colorado were actually tied. Alabama is likely to thrash everyone in this playoff, but there's a reason they play the games on the field and not on paper. You went half retard...

    He should be suspended sure. But never suit up again? Please hold the dramatics.

    USC Vs ND

    First, you might try an English class so you can actually communicate what you're saying vis a vis conference strength. Second, I'm not drinking any koolaid. You're just spouting idiotic comments. Had Utah won last night, a pretty good USC team would have been in the PAC championship with a...

    USC Vs ND

    Have you heard of the Big XII? Absolutely moronic comment, considering USC might yet have a hand in this.

    Just my 2 cents

    Lol I'm clearly not asking for you to wait for one to be sent. I'm asking for one to be sent and read during the week. Obviously people didn't learn from the first time the mistake was made. I'm hoping the IHSA will ensure it doesn't happen a third time, or for the first time in some other way...

    Just my 2 cents

    It's not that you need to care or watch football at another level. But I would expect that to prompt the referee's association/IHSA to send out a rule clarification for the high school level, and for refs to be diligently reading them. I get various newsletters in my industry, even within my...

    Just my 2 cents

    100% agree with this. I wouldn't even had expected them to know this one but for the fact that it had already happened this year on a bigger, more public stage, that was thoroughly covered for a week afterwards. Somewhere along the line, there was a failure to communicate/clarify from the...

    Just my 2 cents

    I think what happened is more damaging to confidence in the officials than pulling out a rule book ever would be. Better to get it right, even if it requires growing some thicker skin on the optics. Also, I've got to disagree on the cell phone part. When I coached it stayed in my pocket on...

    Over

    If it does happen again, the problem should get bigger. The IHSA has a chance to clean up their rules and procedures here to ensure something like this doesn't happen again. I will be sorely disappointed if they do not.

    CSN: Judge rules in favor of IHSA

    Agree that the rule should be updated. Disagree with your implication that it's a loophole. I think of a loophole as something ambiguous or not covered by rules that makes it default legal. This is explicitly in the rules, so the ref should not be resorting to logic, especially when there's...

    Just my 2 cents

    The more damning part is 5 ref's had a brain cramp over the course of 10 minutes. The outcome is the outcome though. Nothing can change it. I just don't buy the excuse that refs are human to not improve the process. This is similar to an aircraft accident in that it took an incredibly unlikely...

    CSN: Judge rules in favor of IHSA

    You don't have a lot of firepower up in the old noggin, do you? I didn't say anything about MY preferred outcome in my OP. I'm not whining about it. The part of the article I quoted gave me hope that they might institute some sort of process to ensure this never happens again, because, however...

    Thoughts on ESL vs PN..... football only please

    Love love love defense like that. It really challenges the players to step up. I think ESL will be fine if they get a couple quick scores early. Otherwise PFN is going to keep clawing and fighting and it will be interesting. Don't think PFN has the offense compared to ESL defense to fight back...
