    8A game hangouts

    Montini, Monticello, and Althoff fans had Pub II packed yesterday from 2 to 345. 2A game was on, along with the NFL game and several college games. Good natured jabs among the fanbases. It was a fun time. Reminded me of being 21 again, out early on a Friday.

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

    By the way, when I went for a hot chocolate in the middle of the game, the lady ringing me out at concessions was all over the public/private debate. And I didn’t even ask. “$5 please. This is ridiculous. Public can’t compete with privates. This is going to be another blowout.” It was...

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

    I agree something needs to be done. But It’s not like Byron and Montini were seeded 1-2 in the north. Montini was the 14 seed overall in 3A this year. 1 to 32 seeding would’ve worked out in this case, but only by luck. A Montini team with 2 losses can just as easily be a 16 seed…. Then...

    Wilmington 12 Montini 42 Final

    It’s very Jersey Shore. As a Holy Cross alum, I’m way too familiar with all the techno and heart throb music. I loved it back in the early 90s, but then I left it in the early 90s too. It’s comical. I have a sneaking suspicion about why it’s played, but I’ll keep that to myself.

    Yea…. I just didn’t copy and paste the late ones into my original tables.

    Higher seeds should get the home game.

    Even the 1-32 not happening in the smaller classes is fine with me. Montini went a few miles to Rockne Stadium. Better than going down to Roxana or Litchfield. In 3A, it’s not like Montini would be the 2-seed, and 1-32 would save the Byron matchup for the championship…. They were the...

    DGN 13 Fenwick 10 final

    Can’t throat slash, right? Can’t shoot a gun, right? I’m guessing brandishing a gun has to follow suit. Is there a specific “no fake weapons celebrations” rule? I doubt it. But calling all of it makes sense. “If you just show the fake gun in your waistband, you’re legal. If you...

    Higher seeds should get the home game.

    There is just no way to compare some of the schools. We do BEAT EDGY every week, and everyone goes 6-4. Us sports dorks who live for all this stuff don’t know who the better team is half the time. So the best way is to take all opinion out of it and just use the hard facts.

    Higher seeds should get the home game.

    I like it the way it is. Of course I was on the sidelines doing stats when 5-seed Elmwood Park 7-2 hosted 12-seed Joliet Catholic 5-4 with Isaac and Ivlow. Good stuff. 59-0 “upset”. Lol

    Byron 7 Montini 14. 1:56

    The music is absolutely dreadful. It’s like a fever dream being trapped in the tiny back seat of teal Dodge Stealth in the Holy Cross parking lot in 1992. How do they even find these techno and heart throb songs???

    Byron 7 Montini 14. 1:56

    Knee down first obviously, but yea…. Very very close. Great football play to end a great football game.
