NW Indiana has or had an O’Rama & not sure what they called the ones in Illinois. I know for some years instead of playing 9 games Bremen,Hillcrest,Tinley Park & Oak Forest would have some scrimmage in week 1 amongst themselvesWhen 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 wouldn't see during the season. It was a great way to start the season. Personally I think the Intrasquad scrimmages are a little dumb. You need to see a different color jersey to dial up the intensity and If you have your best players playing both ways it doesn't give you a great look.
