Mt. Carmel going to get what's coming to them for a second year in a row by Wolfpack. I feel bad for them as its all they have. It's probably best for them to learn the hierarchy early in life.

Checking scores while listening to opening act here at Montrose...

Caravan--35
Iggy--3

SICCP has them right where they want them...if it was golf...

Notre Dame moved to 4-1 last night after trouncing the St. Viator Asshats 35-3.

A kid in the Midget extended family starts on the varsity squad.

Fenwick-Loyola in Wilmette this afternoon.

I took a pass. Friars are going to get destroyed.

The games are fun to go to anyway and high school is shockingly quick when you compare them to college (especially ND) and pro games.

I have discovered a little trick with Ignatius. There is a bar named Little Joe's on Taylor. It has an outdoor patio. The only thing separating that outdoor patio and Ignatius field is the alley, so you can, essentially watch the games from the back patio or in alley while enjoying a drink. There are no stands on that side of the field.

we are an ND family as well.

Looks like conns, Terry's Peeps, and O'l Tommy are 2-0 against good dolphin. I'll buy ya two drinks, though, because I don't drink.

My nephew also plays at MC

That actually sounds a lot more fun than going to pro games.

On a different note, apparently George McCaskey is a fairly personable guy, hanging out a bit with the tailgaters yesterday.

Doesn't someone that posts here officiate some high school football games?

I have a question about something that happened in our high school game last night.

conns....basketball, I think

Harvard Dan just gave up officiating hoops last year, but I think he may still do football.

Spotted where it becomes dead. Clock starts on snap.
No fourth down fumble rule.

I was at the Minooka/Plainfield North game on Friday. Minooka had a 14 point lead with about 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. What I witnessed next was quite possibly some of the dumbest coaching I have seen at any level. To start, yes they were running the ball, like they should, but they were leaving like 10-15 seconds left on the play clock with every snap, those seconds add up to minutes. Later Minooka was backed up to their 3 or 4 yard line and they opted to take a safety(on 4th down), again probably the right call to try and flip the field...but what became before that was just unfathomable, there was some confusion before the snap and with a clock running they(minooka) takes a timeout. If you are to take a safety anyways, just take the delay of game penalty! This preserved another 30-40 seconds for Plainfield. End of story, after a fumble Plainfield scores the go ahead touchdown (22-21) with less than a minute to play and eventually wins.


I get that the education field attracts some of the less intelligent people out there, but it's just amazing these men are allowed to coach young men with their stupidity. Mathematically, it was basically impossible to lose that game yet they found a way.

NFHS rules seem to say spotting it where it went out is correct

That is correct.
