    If You Could Add A Team to Your Conference Who Would You Like to Add?

    Not just 1 team but I would realign West Suburban Conference. Huge disparity between Gold and Silver and what happens to Proviso West every year in the Silver really isn’t fair to their program or their athletes. OPRF and P West to Gold and add Riverside Brookfield for 10 team conference. Add...

    Breaking: Legislative Commission Forwards 11 Proposals to IHSA Member Schools, 12 Total on Ballot

    Expand the playoffs and you alleviate the race for 5 wins and the scheduling pressure it creates. Will there be some blowouts? Sure... there are plenty of blowouts already. If it gives the kids the chance to polay more football we should be in favor of it. Remember that top 16 teams will get...

    Q of the Week: Who is the IHSA Football Player of the Year?

    Considine has been as impressive as anyone in the State. I think seeing him on TV on Friday will open a lot of eyes. Dowling answered the bell and has been great but look what he has to work with. Izzy Abrams and Aaron Stewart carried their teams. Can’t go wrong here but I would lean towards...

    Round 1 attendance?

    Hinsdale Central bright more fans to South Elgin than SE did. And it was on HC parents and family there. Maybe a few hundred total in attendance.

    Brand New: Between The Lines Podcast Week 9 edition

    I think we missed the Monticello proposal that has expanded playoffs with no regions/districts. 1. If we eliminate the race for 5 wins all the scheduling problems instantly go away. 2. There are some 2 and 3 win teams that would wipe 5 and 6 win teams and these are the matchups we would see...

    Biggest Surprise result from Friday night's action?

    Had a feeling HC might blow them out. Upstate 8 and WS Silver are two very different worlds. HC has a ton of speed this year.

    Tonight 6-9PM WJOL Preseason Coaches Kickoff Show: Have a question?

    Question for you and the coaches. Give us some sleeper teams. Curious to hear which teams you think make some headway from last season. Those teams that maybe they squeaked out a win against but thought on the way home... I'm not looking forward to playing them next season.

    IHSA schedule thoughts?

    Hinsdale Central going out to West Aurora is a new matchup and an interesting game. WA was 9-0 last season but the Upstate 8 is a weaker conference. HC missed the playoffs at 4-5 but they go through a meat grinder in the West Surburban Silver and also play Naperville Central in non conference...

    Q of the Week: Who is your Sleeper Team To Watch for 2025?

    Just get to 5 wins and get to the playoffs. With some of those team’s schedules that’s a feat in itself.

    My Week 6 coverage plans......

    Hinsdale Central at GBW. Both need to win to keep a playoff chance alive.

    Biggest issue with the lack of Week 0 scrimmage games?

    When I played 30 years ago we used to have a Jamboree game where we would bring in 8 teams and we'd all play 1 half at the same location. It was a lot of fun. You'd bring in teams from out of conference and out of state. You could team up with 4 conference teams and all play a team that you...

    Q of the Week: 2024 Preseason IHSA Football Player of the Year?

    Kaminski was most impressive player I saw up close last year on that side of the ball. Made plays all over the field and threw around blockers like rag dolls.

    Q of the Week: 2024 Preseason IHSA Football Player of the Year?

    I don't get why people don't talk enough about how good Jonas Williams is. He's the best QB in the State and it's not close. He might be the best QB in the Midwest and he's now at 8A powerhouse LWE!
