    Are we just going to act like this didn’t happen?

    Does anyone think there will be a significant change in how the NIL money works moving forward? With the Iamaleava brothers leaving Tennessee & Arkansas, it sounded like both schools NIL collectives were seeking legal ways to recoup some or all of the money they paid out to the brothers.

    Q of the Week: So who is the Preseason #1 ranked IHSA Football Team in Illinois?

    1. ESL (always loaded with talent) 1A. LA (they’re always good) Then LWE and then maybe MC, let’s see what the QB play looks like (and the secondary).

    Private Schools 7 - Public Schools 1. That’s a wrap!

    The acceptance rate at Young, Payton, Jones & Lane is a lot lower than those at most private schools in the city of Chicago.

    Public School Advantages

    That might be a disadvantage! I was able to wear the same pair of pants to school each day and probably only wore 2 shirts per week. Just kept the shirts in the locker for a week or so. Man I can only imagine what that downstairs hallway must’ve smelt like in 1995 🤣

    Based on jr’s and soph’s who are the top teams for 2025

    Wear the gold pants as much as possible. That’s the only input I could give him.

    What did we learn this season!?!?!?!

    Maybe “deserve” isn’t the right word. Maybe I would say that I don’t believe a 4-5 teams shouldn’t has “earned” their way into the playoffs? Not sure that’s any better. In any case, I just think that it should be a minimum record of 5-4 to qualify; but it doesn’t matter what I think, the system...

    Somebody’s big mad in Antioch…and it’s only Friday

    Is SR not 7A when multiplied? You’re the 3rd or 4th person to mention them petitioning up. I thought they were 7A when multiplied and they should be multiplied the next 2 year cycle due to winning 3 playoff games over the last 2 years?

    What did we learn this season!?!?!?!

    Just because they won State doesn’t mean they deserved to get in to the playoff. I agree with Corey that 4-5 teams shouldn’t be in the playoffs, but it seems like with football numbers where they are, and no chance at 6 classes, we may get some in moving forward. Naz won the title and had a...

    And a few players to the All Stars in Florida as well.

    8A goes through LA until someone beats them consistently. After the way LA dog walked MC in week 9 this season I think Lynch might have to pull a Herb Brooks to get MC ready for LA. Especially with a new QB next season.

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    Those are the plays that MC doesn’t need. Line up and run Taylor or Wilson in for a TD. You’re up 27 points just run the ball.

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    I’ll say didn’t show up since there is talent at MC and the games in the series are very rarely blowouts. But maybe they were outclassed this season. Not sure what the difference is. No one is saying MC is better than LA.

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    You got at least 60 minutes. This is ridiculous

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    LA showed up to play and MC didn’t. That’s it. Can’t not be ready when playing a team like LA, if you do show up not ready to go you get dog walked.

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    They do run a lot of plays like throughout the season. It’s a little surprising they went back to the well so quickly but it’s not out of the ordinary for Lynch and this offense.
