I remember the Dan Marino commercial with him buying those winter gloves for his teammates. Sadly met him a few times & he was an asshole(not to me but to little kids) & why would you have a guy playing for a warm weather team doing winter gloves lol

LOL! I am sure you remember Cubs manager Don Zimmer. He was doing commercials for Curly's BBQ, KFC I think and weight loss products at the same time.

This is further proof that high school football is where the happiness towards the game is at its peak! Not every one of those guys was on a state championship winning team or even a winning team, but the memories of playing for the community under Friday Night Lights and the times with their teammates came flooding back as they were looking at their jerseys!

Contact days cut and ejection rule changed

M
Proposal 17 (Passes 317-227-17): Modifies the number of summer contact days restriction from 25 to 20 days.

Proposal 25 (Passes 385-116-59): Modifies the suspension for ejection of unsportsmanlike conduct by players in football to be ineligible for the remainder of the quarter they are ejected and the next four (4) quarters at that level and all other interscholastic contests at any level in the interim, in addition to
other penalties by IHSA or the school may assess.

You really believe that “recruiting” 8th graders to attend a private school equates to some large advantage three to four years later when they are on Varsity? I think this argument would get more traction if there was rampant recruiting of Jrs and Srs, but everyone is claiming poor me because of 8th graders?

I am not sure if you are aware, but eventually (usually in 3 or 4 years) those 8th graders turn in to juniors and seniors.

If private schools were crushing public’s at the freshman level then maybe. But go look at the TCYFL youth football league and see the advantage that all of these public schools have with feeder teams running their offense and wearing replica uniforms starting in 4th grade.

IHSA gave you the DEI state finals this year. The quarters and semis were more competitive in 1a through 4a so the arguments about the Championship games are hollow. The public administrators that posted they were the public school state champions shouldn’t have said when their counterparts in the quarters or semis played much closer games against the private schools and nearly won.

Obviously. We saw how little impact freshman can have on a varsity game when Mt. Carmel displayed their Freshman talent over Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone saw how little those players can contribute to the success of a varsity football team. Public schools have no basis to say that recruiting 8th graders does not have any major impact for years to come. :rolleyes: GTFOH...

Will the field still allow access to the bowling alley for pre half and post game needs....along with on the sideline pickup truck parking....

All.... I think I remember this correctly. 2006 and SHG has a second round game at Mac. First and only time I have ever seen a bunch of vehicles with fans having a good time parked inside the stadium. Cool.... And the bowling alley next door served it's purpose in various ways. That is where the Rocket fans were told to park and tailgate in 2018. Not the main lot. Having a friend or two in Rochester talking with them they were unhappy about that. Extended to the game as well. Mac beat them that day.... Ratsy
