    Any Wrestling fans?

    Late to the game on this thread... Aurora Christian took 2nd in 1A Marmion took 3rd in 3A. AC sent 8 individual qualifiers with 2 winning state titles. Only 3 graduating seniors so AC will be a contender again in the 2020 season. 106 - Joel Mylin -State Champion 120 - Nathan Orosco - 3rd place...

    Aurora Christian beat Lena-Winslow in the 2018 quarterfinals on their way to winning the state championship. AC takes 2nd place this year. Not terrible. To say "hoping they don't ever see them again" is not accurate. Competitors like facing challenges.

    A terrific hire for NIU in Thomas Hammock

    As an NIU alumnus I am thrilled. Thankful Temple hired away Rod Carey to open the door for Thomas Hammock. The future looks bright for NIU Football.

    Agreed. Tennessee is great even if Memphis is a dump. The only good thing about Memphis is FedEx and Fried Chicken.

    Question for the board.......

    If we are going to dredge up sports injustices from 1984, let's also discuss Game 5 of the NLCS. Anyone remember? Chicago Cubs go up 2-0 in the best-of-five series. The first two games were played at Wrigley Field. The next two games were played at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego. The Padres...

    Why so much discussion about defining what this league is? Just receive it for what it is and enjoy some "off-season" football. This is not the NFL. It is not trying to compete with the NFL. This is a 10-week season February thru April. It doesn't conflict with the NFL or MLB. I don't care...

    For a 10 week season that’s $7500 per game. Not terrible.

    Eagles @ Bears

    Full Meatball Mode here... Bears win big. I don't believe the Eagles hype. This may be a 7 point game at the half. Bears open it up on the second half. I say 31-10 Bears. Home field advantage will be ridiculous Bears defense will reek havoc on Philly Bears +2 turnover advantage Bears will...
