    Brother Rice 8A or 7A?

    The best thing about this post is that saying you don't see something in the rules means you read the rules. Yet you missed the part about how the teams are assigned to the 8 classes, which is the most important thing. As has been posted above, the 32 highest enrollment qualifiers will be in 8A...

    LW East / CM

    I don't really care if feeto has a favorite baseball team or not. But why would you mention being a Cub fan in your post? They won the World Series 6 years ago. There are tons of teams in pro sports that wish they could say they won a championship over that time frame. Not to mention hundreds of...

    LW East / CM

    I work with a couple of JCA fans. I have never heard them say that their fans set the football teams schedule. Is that how things are done in other schools? LWE gets a very good win over Crete Monee and less than 5 posts into the thread the topic turns to JCA and their schedule. Did you graduate...

    The Nook @ The Brook

    So, in summary, once again this is not going to be Minooka's year.

    Bigger upset if they lose 6a ESL or 4a JCA?

    Some interesting thoughts on this old thread.

    Week 1 Pick Em: So who wins Bolingbrook at Minooka

    Nice win for Bolingbrook, especially impressive considering the final score. Nobody ever went broke betting against Minooka, that's for sure.

    ESL- The best in the state

    The standard in football is at least a combined total of 3 playoff wins in the previous 2 year pairing. In 2017 and 2018 SR won 2 playoff games total, so they are not multiplied. In the same 2 years MC won 6 playoff games total, so they are multiplied.

    ESL- The best in the state

    The page on the IHSA website titled "Two Year Cycle Enrollments and Classifications" lists every schools "actual" enrollment (doubled for all boys schools). These figures do not include the 1.65 multiplier which it says may be applied. SR does not have the multiplier applied, MC does. The...

    St Rita VS Boylan

    The IHSA wants everything done in 2 year increments. The fall of 2020 starts the second year of the current pairing. I do not believe they would let anyone petition up for just next year. Also, next year the football playoffs will be done the same way as they have been for a long time. That is...

    The CCL/ESCC Prognostication Thread - Week XI

    go_rice is a younger version of MC63. MC63 is asking in another thread if they use the running clock in the playoffs. The running clock has been around for at least 20 YEARS, including in the playoffs. The Caravan running-clocked their opponent last week, yet a huge know-it-all fan like MC63...

    Swagger v Hollywood

    No matter how many times you say it, it will never make sense. If a bus driver drives his bus off a cliff can I criticize him? Or do I have to become a bus driver first? If a nuclear plant melts down due to an incompetent worker not doing his job correctly can I criticize him? Or do I need to...

    Prep Bowl

    Clearly, a new low for the Prep Bowl. One team with a 5-4 record. Four teams with records of 3-6. St. Joes with one win. De Paul with zero wins. Someone in this thread mentioned a "parody account". This is parody football. The way some people on this board cling to this silliness, claiming it is...

    Celtic vs Bronco

    It has less to do with how many boys are in the school and much more to do with the quality of recruiting to get them. That said, it will be funny if Montini can beat Rice and win the Blue. The last year of the Blue will be won by a one-year member of the Blue who is a 5A school. Not a great...
