    Anyone watch the FCS championship game last night?

    If others want to discuss, have at it. If we didn't have game discussion and analysis, things would be boring. My point is that sometimes a game is so special, a contentment can be had by simply being entertained by it and leaving it at that.

    Anyone watch the FCS championship game last night?

    As a football fan, I am not going debate strategy or enter into blame game. Rather, I immensely enjoyed the game and that was enough for me.

    tv play-by-play and analysis

    Often, we come on here and bash the announcing. Last year, Matt Rodewald wrote about the complexity of it all and it certainly softened my viewpoint. So rather than singing the virtues of local radio guys over perhaps, less-informed statewide tv guys, I enjoyed Friday's broadcast, especially...

    Byron, Where do you rank them?

    Here is another factor to consider in outcome of Byron-IC game. Facing IC in the playoffs was on Byron's radar since this summer and hence, preparation began for it at that time. Compared to antiquated coaches who insist on never looking ahead and playing one game at a time (no matter how bad an...

    Byron, Where do you rank them?

    Byron doesn't necessarily have the best athletes, but what sets them apart from everyone else is how smart they play. Those kids have discipline and mental toughness that allows them to beat more talented teams. Coaching? You bet.

    Montini Carmel

    For 3A to have any interest, it is essential that Montini be in it. Rather than running roughshod on all their opponents, I'm sure Byron looks forward to the challenge of taking on Montini. Other than Dixon, the BNC is down and that is a disadvantage Byron will have against Montini, who will be...

    IHSA surveying schools for playoff expansion

    In terms of conference scheduling/alignment, I truly think the "Drive For 5" is overrated . A bigger case for ducking teams or changing conferences is simply competiveness. Teams are tired of getting their brains beat in the regular season alone and are looking for an lighter load of opponents.

    Production value

    After reading Matt Rodewald's tutorial on TV coverage presented on this board many weeks ago, I have changed my outlook from critic to grateful recipient of whatever is presented. Very difficult endeavor for them, especially when we rag on them for not having same inside info as local radio...

    Naz

    Curious, has there ever been another team that faced 10 teams with nine or more wins, as Nazareth did these season?

    1A Final - Camp Point Central vs Lena-Winslow

    I'm with you 4Afan. Le-Win gets beats by a better team today and people actually think they need to make changes. This is same program that had longest winning streak in the state. It is possible that LW doesn't have the best personnel each and every year and occasionally, they will lose a game...

    1A Final - Camp Point Central vs Lena-Winslow

    THis game also demonstrates that size is overrated. LW had 40 pounds on man on them, but give me quickness and mental toughness. Gotta love the way GPP plays the game.

    Night games

    As a frequent traveler to Salt Lake City, I love how they handle all 6 classes of the playoffs. Games are scheduled Thur, Fri and Sat. Not only that, but they are free to watch online with decent broadcasters and no major glitches.

    5A...woof

    No, it shouldn't. The reason they are 4-5 is because of tough schedule. Those teams deserve it more than 9-0 teams who don't play anyone.
