Biggest issue with the lack of Week 0 scrimmage games?

It’s better to get a look against kids that aren’t your own it’s a better look and gives you a chance to correct flaws before the games count.

The whole big night for fall sports thing that has been mentioned multiple times is stupid your job is to coach the football team not help out the girls volleyball team. Come year 2 when there is a noticeable difference between teams that play week 0 and those that don’t it will become a non issue.

Biggest issue with the lack of Week 0 scrimmage games?

Last night on the WJOL Preseason Coaches Show we talked to over 20 head coaches and asked everyone of them what they thought about the Week 0 scrimmage. The large majority of coaches not playing a scrimmage game against a different program is basically the timing. Several coaches said they would reconsider it if they could be played earlier in the summer or say at the end of the 25 allowed summer contact days. Several mentioned how the in team scrimmages are considered a big night for all fall sports and didn't want to take that away.

In some ways I can see more schools looking at this but also some of the coaches are dead set on not having any outside the program scrimmages.

Thoughts?

You sure do have a lot of opinions with zero information; we'll see how they age. At any rate i'm here for football, not to field your misplaced anger about whoever hurt you. I wish you the best, big dog...

Seems like you’re here to just make Week 0 DisgustingSounds about an anemic Mt. Zion who has provided no evidence that they will do anything other than disappoint you this season. Did they get a bunch of transfers? Or are you trying to say that they worked super duper hard in the weight room this year and are gonna finally get over that Effingham hump?

DisgustingSounds cannot wait to revisit this as the season progresses. At least the Cary Grove klan have something to stand on. Mt. Zion is simply a never was and a never will be.

You’re wrong. They are going to be grinding out 21-14 losses to the likes of Effingham and Mahomet with lethargic undersized white kids. You wouldn’t know a special offense if you saw it.

Yeah , I took the bait. Honestly I think Disgusting Sounds is really a white troll, similar to a White Claw drinking, CNN Kamala supporter who frequents the Fox News comments section only to stir the pot. I know your type. I’m equally bothered by the non CG supporters who gave this guy material and retreated into the corn field like Homer Simpson. Bravo.

Don’t feel bad. DisgustingSounds generally bother the lowest denominator of people. You are in large company of mainly Cary Grove and Quincy people.

Anyways, back to the thread.

I pick East St. Louis to win 6A.

When you talk nonsense about the school I played for and my kids went to, I take offense. You want to rip others on this board who have nothing to do with CG, go for it but don’t call our school and supporters racist. You know nothing.
Sounds like your town has some real skeletons in its closet. I will be rooting for the Cary Grove Bigots to go winless this season. Although I would love to sit on their side of the field and hear what they REALLY think of ESL as they’re getting spanked in the finals. I’m sure those are some real DisgustingSounds.

How old do you have to be to get rattled by DisgustingSounds?

Mount Zion's offense is special. The group of skill position players on that offense is WILD... I don't blame you for not being aware of it; but wait and see...

Yes, save the DisgustingSounds for your cross burning. If you make it far enough to get running clocked by East St. Louis be sure to check out Rochester running clock whoever beats IC.

Also, who is that guy who picked Mt. Zion? Must be getting into RoaminCatholic’s meth. Somebody tell him this isn’t softball.

Okay maybe not fits but I do believe they would hold their own. I know Mater Dei very well, we played them when I was in high school. Long time ago yes but we held our own and I will tell you we were no LWE. Don’t sell Illinois elite short. We may not win but we could hang. IMO
It is a different world now with these elite programs and the national reach they now have to get top players.

LWE vs Maine South - championship level football in week 1. I have to go with Jonas and East. Can't wait to see what he does with a defense that can get stops and extra possessions. But MS is never out of it, if they can keep it close I wouldn't be surprised if they pull it out at the end.

H-F @ Bolingbrook - Vikings. I was going to debut my crispy new white AF 1's with the red air bubble for this but changed my mind.

Lockport vs Plainfield N - Porters. Nuff said.

Neuqua V @ Oswego - I like this matchup. I'm gonna go with the new conference, Panthers taking the W.

Naperville N @ NT - heard the Huskies got a new WR that looks like a NFL WR. Huskies all day.

Matea V @ Downers S - South wins the drag race between the Mustangs.

Naperville C v Hinsdale C - loser has to pay me $100K. I dunno, I'll take whoever lost the past time to win this time.

LWE vs Maine South is definitely one of the more hyped games in recent years from both teams. Arguably two top 3 teams in 8A going at it and both of tons of talent and firepower. The matchup I’m honestly most looking forward to in this game is Maine South’s offensive line vs East’s defensive line. Maine South’s line is huge and have a ton of experience. They can also move too which is scary. While there are rumblings that this is one of the better defensive lines that East has had and that’s saying a lot with them. All 4 of them played in big games last year and both their ends are P4 recruits. Im going with East to win but definitely won’t be an easy win by any means.
