    SWC Realignment

    I am fairly sure this is all about making as close as possible to a closed conference to eliminate traveling long distances for non-conference games. But what is this going to do to East Side in terms of scheduling non-conference games against some of the best teams in the nation. I know I enjoy...

    Obscure sports stats

    Bridgeman was also a catalyst for athletes branching out into being moguls in the business world. Despite never making more than $350,000 in a season, Bridgeman, who invested heavily in Wendy's and Chii's franchises, has a net worth of more than $600 million. He also is owner of Ebony and Jet...

    Metamora looking for a new HC

    Grew up in Morrison. Covered the Golden Warriors as a member of the print media from 1986-98. So I am well aware few schools boast the facilities and gridiron tradition of Sterling. But the lure of going home to coach your alma mater to glory in front of family can be tough to resist.

    Should Sterling be worried? Jon Schlemmer is a Metamora grad.

    Bears

    Bears probably can scratch Mike Vrabel off their candidates list as the Patriots have fired Jared Mayo after just one season. If what I have heard, Kraft hired Mayo before the Titans fired Vrabel or else he would have been the pick a year ago.

    Who's the best team in the state?

    If ESL played Geneva like it did IMG, it would have been even uglier. Their pass rush was more relentless against IMG.

    Who's the best team in the state?

    I would second with East Side. They didn't even play their best -- more penatlties than usual for this year's team -- and still won by 20.

    MC 55 BTV 34 FINALLY! Almmost 4 hours

    Some of these officials look woefully out of shape. Could that be a reason there are so many flags as they just cannot keep up with the speed the game, so they are throwing flags just because they think they see something or are expecting something to happen?

    East Side v Geneva 48-28 GAME & TITLE

    OK, I wasn't paying that close of attention. I just remember the handful of times I covered title games at Hancock Stadium. The elevated platform and the announcing of the names.

    East Side v Geneva 48-28 GAME & TITLE

    They used to have a high-rise podium at ISU when they did the trophy presentations. They also mentioned the names of the adminstrators, coaches and captains. Wonder why they changed all that? Probably took too much time I guess.

    East Side v Geneva 48-28 GAME & TITLE

    Ball game. Closer than I thought it was going to be. But still not close.

    East Side v Geneva 48-28 GAME & TITLE

    The boy broadcaster just talked about how Lyons bided his time behind Pops Battle. WHILE HE WAS AT GRANITE CITY.

    East Side v Geneva 48-28 GAME & TITLE

    ESL player just dropped while lining up for play. This is kind of scary. Up and walks off. Hopefully, he is OK.

    GoMiller shows what kind of difference speed can make.
