    The Playoff Expansion Bylaw PASSED!

    I would usually crank out a 2025 field “If the 384-team Playoffs started today…” right about now. But I’m at work all day. Poor timing. I’m sure someone will knock it out for us.

    The Playoff Expansion Bylaw PASSED!

    Week Zero will be the new start of the regular season. That puts opening night on Aug 21. 16 more playoff teams per class. 384 playoff teams. Hot of the presses. I’m pretty surprised, but it passed by more than 100 votes.

    Mid-Suburban League-DVC Merger?

    I grew up with a lot of Maine South friends, and have rooted for Hersey, BG, Hoffman, and Palatine at various times over the years. I really loved those crossovers and some of the fun matchups. But there is a noticeable difference in the quality, top-to-bottom. Palatine rotated through MS...

    It is Concerning No Details for 5-8A Announced

    “They should’ve had a backup plan for a weather event that will make long distance bus travel with kids nerve-racking at best.” Well I don’t know what that plan would’ve been. Even if we had a Lucas Oil Stadium in the middle of the state, a big issue is still getting there… not playing in...

    Any insight on why it “won’t be at ISU” Sunday?

    Montini facilities

    I wouldn’t consider the visiting stands limited…. I arrived 45 minutes early Saturday and the lot was still only half full. With Naz, DGN, and Franny still alive, the casual fans will have other options. I don’t think you need to be there 90 minutes early. If you want to see the horsey run...

    My Semifinal coverage plans.....

    Edgy Tim should never have to deal with parking. Let’s go, Wilmington!

    Semifinal Saturday

    Well, the tentative plan is Morris/Montini and then up to Illinois/Wisconsin. The HS game at 2PM rather than 1PM puts a big dent in my ambition. 39 degrees forecasted at the 6:30 kickoff isn't helping either. But my U of I friends want to make it happen now that I'm a (fringe) Badger...

    Byron, Where do you rank them?

    I'm following Montini the last few years, so I've seen Byron live twice. I've also seen the CCL schools Montini plays, including great teams like Fenwick, big schools like Marist, and star players like Taylor at Carmel. Additionally, I get to a lot of Palatine games, so I've seen Fremd...

    Best Week 12 Weather Ever?

    I remember a Week 11 in the 70’s/sunny about 15 years ago. But to me, Week 12 is always where it turns and usually doesn’t come back. I think the crowds today might be crazy. The nice weather with less “to do” like fall fests and pumpkin patches and such. Seems like everyone I talk to is...
