    WB6 enrollment '25-'26

    Alleman will have to join my newly proposed TRAC, because the NCIC teams have zero interest. Ditto for EP. Zero interest there. If Bureau Valley is out, gives a perfect 6 in small with Newman being the 6th. (Princeton, RF, Kewanee, Mendota, Hall, Newman). 6 Large + 6 Small and you’re right...

    WB6 enrollment '25-'26

    I’m telling ya’ll… nobody is interested in a 1 division NCIC reboot. 2 divisions makes all the sense. A problem is there are only 6 schools that make sense to me in the “Large” Division. Dixon, Geneseo, Sterling, Rochelle, LP and Ottawa. I don’t see Morris having any interest in this, they...

    WB6 enrollment '25-'26

    I’m a little confused by your post. I have the Trac separating from my new proposed NCIC (including Morrison still in Trac). But honestly, none of the eastern/newer teams would even be remotely interested in adding Alleman. The travel is too far and the competition isn’t worth it in...

    I don’t disagree the chances are close to zero just curious why you believe this?

    WB6 enrollment '25-'26

    Mendota, Princeton, and Spring Valley Hall all have tons of history and are similar in geography and size. I would be surprised if those 3 ever split up again voluntarily. Kewanee would likely want to hang in to this group as well with tons of history. If Dixon wants to stay in Big Northern...

    WB6 enrollment '25-'26

    A complete reboot of the NCIC (both large and small) would ONLY make sense for 95% of these schools, but there needs to be a leader who can put it together/make it happen and it hasn’t happened the past 15 years. Maybe Geneseo can bring the band back together: NCIC Large: Geneseo Dixon...

    The conference is the killer imo. The travel can’t inspire anyone from parents to the kids. Merging with Westmont and trying to get into the Upstate 8 or another softer suburban conference would probably be the best thing.

    10 to 4 only costs a rd 2 pick? Since when? The bears sent a 2nd and 3rd to move up 1 single spot from 3 overall to 2 overall not that long ago. Anyone thinking you can trade 39 overall to move up to 4 isnt being realistic. I’m All-In on Jeanty, I just don’t know if hell be on the board at 10.

    Bears

    Bunch of nonsense to me. I don’t see trading up from 10 to 4 and giving up both 2s and 2026 1 to do it on Poles and Johnson’s bingo cards. Bears will have their choice of a good player at 10, whether that’s a RB, TE or DL. My guess is Hampton or Warren.

    Bears

    The sense I get is the Bears will draft Jeanty if available at 10 and go OL/DL with the early rd 2 picks.

    Bears

    RIP Virginia… As far as Bezos, he won’t have a chance as current minority Pat Ryan would almost assuredly buy the team due to existing ownership contract where he has first dibs. The timing does align perfectly for McCaskeys to sell at least a portion of the team for the needed cash infusion...

    I thought Golden flubbed the gameplan against OSU personally. Here’s the last 4 ND DCs: Golden - NFL Freeman - HC ND Lea - HC in SEC (Vandy) Elko - HC in SEC (A&M) And the next Irish DC will leave in another 2-3 seasons. We’ll be just be fine there. As far as players, we didn’t have...

    Notre Dame

    Are you really mad after the NC game? ND has shown it can attract high level DCs in recent years. Golden was a great coach but ND will reload with another great coach. Very disappointing game to watch. ND did not play to their capability and they got outcoached by OSU coordinators showing...

    Bears

    I’m not seeing how Brady is the big honcho here… ya he’s the GOAT on the field, but looking at MJ’s years as an executive with the Wiz and Hornets haven’t exactly led to fruition and playoffs. I think there’s a lot to like about LV Raiders… full football control, new stadium, fun market, nice...

    Bears

    My opinion and gut feel agrees with you… that Braxton will be our LT and we continue to develop him and Wright on the outside. I don’t think the Bears want two rookies starting day 1 on the OL with Caleb anyway. My guess is one of the OG and OC is filled in FA and we draft a starter at OG with...
