    Thoughts....

    I agree with many of the responses here. This is an attack on Private schools period. Private schools are doing it right. Success in the classroom, field, court, volunteering, fundraising, community focus, faith, etc. And doing it on less money. Instead of wasting time on crap like this why...

    Public & Private schools

    As a business owner in one of these communities, I can definitely predict our property taxes to double or triple. If our private school closes, those children are added to the cost/per student to educate. Plus, in my opinion, having a choice of schools attracts young couples back to our community.

    All State Teams

    I like the 1st Team picks from both papers but the honorable mention list is a mess. There are teams that went deep in the playoffs with only a couple of hon mentions and you have teams with losing records that had 3,4,5 players on the list? That makes no sense. EX....I saw a 1st team RB who...

    Parochial Schools

    Guess you didn't figure out that my entire comments were 'sarcasm'....guess I touched a nerve there. BTW since you brought up government bailouts.....18 trillion sounds fun.....lets keep doing that....see how that works out long term. The reservations already show us how pumping more $ to...

    Parochial Schools

    I've got an idea. Why don't all the complainers from these 'lackluster' school programs just cash it in....cancel the sport you stink in, save the money for something worthwhile in your school system and save the rest of us all of these stupid posts. At least that way there wont be anymore...

    Parochial Schools

    newsie.....Now you hit it on the head. Lets do the multiplier and then give me at least 1/2 of my property tax money back. My children go to a private school and I cant wait to tell them that they are 1.5 times 'better' than their public school friends.....(sarcasm)....that should mean 1.5...

    SE NE football in C2 and weak districts

    HuskerMadder, You may want to be careful about what you're posting. You are throwing a lot of so called 'facts' out here without any merit. If what you're saying is true, this program would have been shut down a long time ago, coaches fired, probably some legal actions. Sounds to me like...

    D1 - D2 16 team playoff bracket

    If you want to know one of the main reasons for a 32 team playoff....here's a little history for you. Back in the 90's....East Butler and Falls City Sacred Heart were ranked #1 & #2 that year...there was a 9 game format and 16 teams made the playoffs. East Butler had the Mackovickas' and Falls...

    Another week, another school forfeiting....

    Found out this morning that Omaha Nation forfeited to GACC. Their 2nd of the season. Why do they even have football? My advice.....play 6 man.....

    Mike Riley needs your help.

    This might be a problem. 1st the number of boys participating in football across the state is dwindling. 2nd if we do have good potential players out there, Nebraska seems to be the last team to the table. Our best small school players find a home somewhere else and its amazing how they seem...

    Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal Star All-State Football

    Not surprising that the small players dont receive recognition. The Omaha/Lincoln Bias is getting old. The system is flawed. Plus the fact that the Omaha and Lincoln writers probably only watch a few games of C2, D1, and D2 doesn't say much about how they recognize players.

    Hemingford

    Wow....did BDS have anybody hurt in yesterdays final? That was not the same team that just beat Heartland and GACC in the last 2 games. Hemingford played extremely well and you could see the power game overwhelmed BDS. GACC's two running backs ran all over them too, just couldn't get stops on...

    Class D-2 imbalance

    I would love to see something like this in D1 and D2.....District champs get a first round bye.....then line up the rest. Puts a little more emphasis on the district actually mattering. Or if you win districts you get an extra 1/2 point added to your power points. ? Just some thoughts.
