He may not have 800K to pay the casinos, but he did have a couple of bucks for some drinks at Citizen with me yesterday night. By with me I mean in the same bar. Busted his balls about Ignatius owning Carmel. He got a good laugh.

So you didnt inquire about "the break in"?

Ignatius never owned Holy Trinity.

Go Ramblers.

Time out in 4th Quarter...gym silent.....we can't believe we are up 15.....

I am always willing to share a drink or two with my fans. Plus, the gambling Gods were kind to me last week.

Must have been $800 K kind

What/where is Citizen? Never heard of it before, but I am exceptionally unhip when it comes to bars where likes of NBA players (or playas) like to hang out.

Erie west of Franklin on the North side of the street.

It was a nice place especially for a drink during the summer because of outdoor decks both to the side and on the roof. It was definitely not an NBA playas type of bar. Many hot women, but most of them seemed permanently spoken for.

I think it is cool that Iggy has brought back football, but where in the hell are they drawing players from?
How can they compete for South Side players with Carmel, Rita, Rice and even Marist?
I remember when St. Laurence was a powerhouse...short lived.
Gordon was a great team, too, once upon a time.
Add Fenwick.
I know the Catholic League has Divisions now based on size of enrollment....Is this set up like the old Public League hoops where you can win your way up the ladder and change Divisions also?

GO MUSTANGS!

No, you can not win your way up the ladder - it's all based on size of enrollment.

Does Hales still have a football team, and if they do, is Rita or Carmel ever on their schedule?

I remember St. Rita Stadium at 63rd and Claremont....The Rockpile.
Pat Cronin had some great teams.

I am ancient enough to remember the "Magnificent" Mendel Monarchs...an Augustinian School like Rita, with wild assed Lou Guida as the head coach.

Not sure if Hale still has a squad - they would be in a different division than Rita or Carmel because of the size of their enrollment - I don't recall ever seeing them on the schedule since I starting following Rita.

They probably pull a little from Loyola and the smarter kids from Beverly. Ignatius is, and has been for several decades, a regional school. There was a kid who commuted on the South Shore from Indiana when I was there.

They really should pattern themselves after Loyola. The Ramblers get at least one average student/good football player into an Ivy League school each year. That should be enough motivation to get decent players into the program.

FYI, they have also taken the State class B Boys and Girls Lacrosse titles for the last 3-4 years. The Mighty Wolfpack is getting bumped up to class A next season. Putting them in the same division as Lake Forest Academy, Glenbrook South, Hinsdale Central, Fremd, Fenwick etc. My wife is a member of the class of '86.

Hales does still have a team. They don't have any of the big dogs this year on the schedule and are in the White division with St laurence, St Iggy, Gordon, Leo, De La Salle and Bishop McNamara. They do have a crossover game with Fenwick this year.
