When 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.

Preview night for all sports I would agree is one big reason why more havent. Another reason is the schools cant have back to back days with contact otherwise you could do all sports preview on Friday and Scrimmage on Saturday. Id say the scrimmage is more beneficial in the smaller schools where program numbers are low. You get really next to nothing out of trying to scrimmage your JV squads.

Can Bo Nix be the biggest surprise of the NFL rookie QBs this year?

I think it needs teakering and would like to see the scrimmage evolve to what the pro’s do. Offer a practice opportunity for anytime during camp vs another program.

Scrimmage doesn’t need to be a Friday night a practice game.

this has definitely become more and more popular this summer

@corey90 I think that we can all agree that a QB needs an O like to truly showcase their skills.
I have no doubt that he will be receiving that in abundance over at LWE

Most coaches look at this night as a dress rehearsal. Working on pre-game mechanics, uniform issues, technology on the sidelines, personnel logistics, etc. Health is way more important than banging heads in a competitive scrimmage. That's what the coaches that I've talked to have said.

LWW in the middle-of-the-pack below Andrew? Hmmm ... They meet in Week 2.

It was a close call. Very evenly-matched teams and should be a great game. Both teams need the win badly in that division. Andrew has one of the better groups they've had in a long time, so they get the nod.

If you have a full group of backups that can actually push for playing time, I could see why you wouldn't see the need. If you are like most teams where the drop from 1 to 2 is drastic, a scrimmage will prepare you better for week one.

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.

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.

All.... Southeast will travel to Litchfield and play the Purple Panthers at 7PM tonight in their scrimmage game. Ratsy

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.

The only “racism” is coming from the dog whistling Cary Grove base using their racist buzz words like “undisciplined” to describe ESL. Take your nonsense elsewhere.

Racism, cross burning and the klan truly are Disgusting Sounds. Edgy must be too busy with the Daily Herald to run this guy.
