    ESCC Week 4 Prediction

    All of the games are 30+ point blowouts with the exception of Benet Vs. ND. The last 2 years this game has been decided on a FG with time expiring with each team winning one, interesting enough it was the visiting team that won both times. This game will be close, but, different than the last...

    First Time in 3A Track History

    I was at the DGS meet where he threw, 69'8". I was also at the Sectional where he threw 181 in discus, further his 4th throw at Sectional looked to be 6-7 feet farther than the 181 but landed on the line which is a sector foul (scratch). He did not win state but he was impressive to watch the...

    Because it is all about winning......

    Most of my family has emigrated to Colorado, at some point we will probably end up there, but, therein is my prime example. My brother through a lot of hard work and a frugal lifestyle, owns 5 properties (4 in CO, 1 in FL) 4 in CO (his residence, 1 rental house, a 3 unit apartment building, 1...

    Because it is all about winning......

    Bones, I understand your sentiments and no one wants to live around that, but, also think that within all states (well most, ND is tough) there are great areas and not so great areas. I am old enough to remember the Nazis marching through Skokie as well as to have lived and sold a house in a...

    Because it is all about winning......

    Bones, I am going to completely disagree (respectfully) with you. Taxes are a huge issue. Taxes are a confiscation of money from a taxpayers pocket. We live in a society in which taxes (confiscation) pay for basic government services, which is a fair deal in most locations, as long as said...

    Because it is all about winning......

    LTHS, you are reading this all wrong...Why would a kid (and said kid's parents) not choose our state's flagship university? It has everything to offer over Alabama, superior weather (snow in April), overcast 75% of the time, terrain that is so flat as to make a pancake jealous, major sports...

    Must visit establishments near your field

    Mine are all about ease of pre-game stop. Benet home games at Benedictine, the "Coal Ben" which is the on campus college bar. Sits 100 yards from the south gate to the stadium and shares a parking lot with the stadium. College prices on Beer ($1.50 drafts/$2 bottles) and food ($3.75 burger)...

    All Quiet on the Edgy Front

    You are on to something my friend. Notice the complete 180 on the subject so near and dear to his heart? Taking your advice.

    All Quiet on the Edgy Front

    I will try to control myself, it is hard when such obvious stupidly wrong stuff is posted by that poster. Will just have to chant what Momma told Forrest. "Stupid is as Stupid does"

    Carmel

    Not even close to being the same thing. Pat New was on the staff for 2 years as an Asst. prior to moving to HC. Gary Goforth was ready to retire from coaching and stayed on initially as a teacher and AD, then after another year just AD. My understanding was he was part of the hiring process...

    Michigan State

    What you are missing is in the current climate regarding assault against women, that the heads of the programs will be held accountable before the avalanche of bad PR really takes a toll on the school. That is why they will be gone. It is just starting for them. Look at Mizzou, that had...

    Michigan State

    Google "Michigan State" and then read the latest Outside the Lines article from 3 hours ago. MI State has a real issue, Newt is right, Izzo and Dantonio will both be gone, it might take a month or two but they are gone. Both programs will probably end up getting hit with some serious...

    CCL & ESCC schedules

    Kind of like those super privileged kids from East St. Louis voluntarily did not once for 2 years, but, twice for 2 years. That schools attitude was they wanted additional challenges rather than dominate a lower level, but, surely that is due to how privileged they are. They, of course, are...

    CCL & ESCC schedules

    just because you repeat it over and over does not make it so. Even the author/creator of the rule said it was meant to apply to all schools not just privates.
