    Is there a better name than Tyshun Turnipseed?

    Park Ridge Maine East

    ME is academically great and the building itself is beautiful architecturally speaking. Between Dempster and Golf there are thousands of rental units. Living there provides a great education without having to pay exorbitant real estate taxes.

    MS vs ME hoops rivalry was great in the 70's.

    It does seem illogical, I'm sure your tax bill runs a little higher if you're in the MS district versus the Ridgewood district.

    Park Ridge Maine East

    A portion of Niles and Harwood Heights lies within the MS district boundaries and yet MS is always one of the smallest 8A schools even falling to 7A a few years back. MS is dwarfed by NT and considerably smaller than Evanston and GBS.

    So who wins 8A?

    If I had to lay odds I'd say LWE goes off @ 3-1, LA @ 4-1, MS @ 6-1 and Edwardsville @ 10-1. LWE looks very strong in all 3 phases. From the outside looking in it seems the closing of LWN bolstered the talent pool at the remaining 3 LW schools as they all had strong seasons.

    Maine South-Lincoln Way East prediction thread.......

    While beating a team twice is difficult, I think winning consecutive titles is as well. LWE survived a scare from San Carlos Este and looked strong against Oswego. In game one, LWE shut down MS running game but the MS passing game picked up the slack. LWE will run it and pass just enough if...

    Most Entertaining Broadcast of Week

    The rebroadcast of the NC vs MS game on NFHS is eight and a half chopped up minutes of football. Maybe the broadcast was fine in real time but if you're going to charge people for product, deliver it.

    DVC Week 12

    This NC offense will be the best one MS has faced to date. MS defense has allowed 14 points or less in 8 straight games. Quality of opponent plays into that but still laudable. MS has only played two games where the outcome was still in question in the 4th qtr .Pal. and LWE, two very good teams...

    Marist vs. Loyola

    That kid was a throwback to the days of leather helmets.

    Marist vs. Loyola

    LA punt teams had a hand in their title game loss last year. I'm sure they cleaned that up.

    MS 47 Warren 13 Final

    If you're headed to MS for the game and looking for a pregame meal hit up Paradise Pup, it's 5 minutes from MS. ARRIVE AT 11:00 as the line spills out the door which sounds impressive but the building is tiny and only seats about 6. Be prepared to eat in your car or outside weather permitting...

    Feeto's Friday Upset Special........

    Wouldn't be shocked with a Warren win. Home game, playing with house money, program on the rise. MS hasn't really been tested since week 4. The dubious common opponent theory tells us Warren defeated NT 7-3. NT lost to MS 45-7. I would like MS much more if they had a true dual threat QB...

    Get off my lawn

    I apologize if the post read insensitively. When I posted I had no idea of the severity of the injury. Obviously the overturned TD call is meaningless and Miller's health is the only issue that matters.
