Scouting report on Johnston City from a very reliable source...

* Not a cold weather team
* Performance declines due to shrinkage
* Prefers contact
* Will be up on Saturday

MC only beat them 14-13 on a missed PAT in 2017 so I'm not overconfident.

Pretty sure none of those guys from the 2017 team are still playing. You will be fine. 49-7 final.

Not defending the OL but I think the OC play calling also plays into it and a rookie QB. Calling plays, you cannot block does no one any good.

Calling passing plays for which you cannot pass block also likely means you call running plays for which you cannot run block. Ain't much left to call after that.

Interesting to see. I wasn't suggesting it as some solution but just thought it would be interesting to see how it would look.

7a would include smalls schools byron, wilmington, althoff, dixon, and large schools lwc, ignatius, oswego, sandburg, wws, edwardsville. while there are some epic matchups there i don't know how many people want to see one of those small schools have a playoff run end in round 1 or 2 because they have to play one large schools.

SiuCubFan8 · Nov 12, 2024

looking forward to this game.

I don't know much about 4A but I can't figure out how Laurence is still in 4A. I think Dixon is having a good year.

For some reason, IHSA goes by the enrollment number from like 4 years ago. Next year, we're at least 6A.

Also, this week's game vs DePaul has been moved up to Noon on Saturday.

treyuc25 · Nov 12, 2024

I think this is both teams "State Championship". Considering the winner has to play either Batavia or DGN.

Wilmatucky · Nov 12, 2024

Maybe we are all sickos, but it is amazing to me how many people do not know how the host team is determined. This isn't Wilmington's first time in the playoffs either. But between watching the game Saturday night and watching the Bears on Sunday, I heard "you can't host 3 playoff games in a row" at least 5 times. I stopped explaining by Sunday.

I like the idea of giving the higher seeded teams the ability to defer their home game in round 1. I’m sure the top-seeded teams would always exercise this option to almost guarantee a home semi-final game.

I have been saying this for years. It would put a cool twist on things.

this would be 8a per calpreps as of today, so the rankings are different than what they were at the end of week 9 considering playoff wins and losses, but i can't say i'd want to see sycamore or rochelle put in these situations. using this approach for to create classes would make it very difficult for a small to mid sized public school having a great year to ever win a state championship again. instead of running into wsf and naz in the quarters sycamore and rochelle get brother rice and lyons in round 1

Interesting to see. I wasn't suggesting it as some solution but just thought it would be interesting to see how it would look.

Be glad you are at home. Years ago Normal had crazy long grass. MC is MC. No worries.

MC only beat them 14-13 on a missed PAT in 2017 so I'm not overconfident.

I think sometimes we need to just do the awful ideas so that everyone can see exactly how awful it is. But at the same time it will also clarify some things we argue about. Now that The Beloved will not be in the playoffs for the foreseeable future, it is the time to experiment.

the "easier said than done" is getting everyone to agree to power rank the playoffs, finding a power ranking method that people can agree on, and appeasing either A) the teams that are power ranked above playoff qualifiers but didn't qualify based on record, or B) teams and conferences that are no longer qualifying for the playoffs based on record for objectively better teams with lower records and harder schedules that are power ranked higher.

some depth of thought here would have made it obvious to you that "easier said than down" wasn't referring to "sort by column x" on a spread sheet, just saying.

Sorry, I must have been focused on you not capitalizing the first word in each sentence. See, I can be snarky as well.

I am not saying the 256 qualifiers come from "power rankings". I am saying seeding each class by "power rankings".

But ya we know getting those points agreed upon isn't an easy task and not something we can control. We are discussing what we would do on a message board. We know the changes would come from a members vote.

SiuCubFan8 said:
But is your last sentence really that difficult? Take the 256, divide into your 8 classes and then power rank each class? We've had people on here re-rank certain classes based on massey/calpreps for comparison...just saying.

What's the difference? You knew who I meant.

I mean there is an Oak Lawn High School and a Harold L. Richards High School.
So, the difference is they are two different schools.

Interesting how is Stevenson passing or are they more of a running offense.

Corey I answered this for you before I saw this thread on the other one regarding this subject

He does have talent. He just holds onto the ball to long like Fields and accuracy is off and I don't have evidence but I have a feeling he just really is not a leader.

Holding onto the ball to long seems to be a fixable issue. Former Bears QB Erik Kramer stated he could fix the issue if he were working with these QBs.

I have been thinking the same thing.

Here is the million $ question, who in the Bears org is most incompetent?

A. Matt Eberflus- the team looks clueless and he looks over matched

B. Ryan Poles- he picked the coach and built a roster around “difference” maker skill players with no line.

C. Kevin Warren- he announced a new stadium with no idea how to finance and no plan going forward, but the presentation looked great.

D. Virginia McCaskey- she is the owner with all the power.

E. - All of the above.
