After watching Edgy's interview on barstool and hearing him talking about the history of the site it got me thinking...

Who told you about Edgy?
When did you first join?
Why did you join?

For me, I was introduced to Edgy in HS in the late 90s, by my teacher, the legendary Charlie Horsefeather. Having a very addictive personality, I was hooked instantly. My love for football at all levels brought me in and I was hooked.

Been a long time since the site displayed things in thread view where one topic (such as public/private) could take up 2 pages.

A neighbor and LA parent mentioned this site to me in 2001. I joined shortly thereafter.

After my inaugural post, Cross Bones indelicately replied by referring to me as "M-Nit-Wittman."

I decided to stick around anyway.

I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about the Coalers. That team fought much harder than the last to years teams. That's good for the conference. Manteno putt up some points. This may be the team with the best chance of knocking off wilmo. If they can protect the qb and score on all drives.

Depaul Prep Sophmores beat St. Laurence sophomores 35-6.

9- Batavia
8- Lake Park

I know this is not a novel concept, but I’d like to see JCA open up the playbook. They’re gonna have to. Do they have the skill guys to do it?

Good question. I doubt they are just going to run over Oswego. They will need a more diverse offense this week, IMO. Tough road game against a very physical opponent.

This is more or less a repost of my in game post during Iowa City game.

The OL was good as expected. The new DL replacements were better than I expected and the defensive front 7-8 was very solid. We didn't get to see much from the QB, receivers and DB's. I wished they had attempted more passes and opened up the playbook a little more because JCA was heading into a tough part of their schedule.

Jenny - thank you. I'm still hoping for a good streamed picture, but your added insight would be invaluable regardless. Post away -- I'll make sure a thread has been started.

I know Rock has done SR threads, too.

in 2007 I was in a job interview and one of the guys interviewing me told me he looked me up and saw my name on Edgy. I had no clue what he was talking about but went home and googled and I've been here ever since. Though I didn't become a member officially until 2011 (probably because I wanted to ruffle some feathers and couldn't post without being a member) At one point I was even a paid member but then in 2013 I got married and Mrs. Tuccs didn't see a need for a paid membership to follow teenage boys when we didn't even have a child of our own. (when she put it that way I really had no leg to stand on)

I stick around for a few reasons: Mostly to get updates on Naz games since my young family keeps me from seeing them in person, keeping the Lou Holtz/reverse jinx strategy undefeated, pretending like i know what I am doing while making CCL/ESCC picks, and to remind the St Franny fans its only been 319 days since they won the super bowl and beat Naz in Week 9 last year

I do remember the Joliet Catholic site. I would fondly talk about the Illini 8 Days. I’ll stir the hornets nest(don’t worry Edgy) I actually found out about this page when an arguement happened in a site that some of you I think possibly the Mt. Carmel people may remember. It told true news that the media mostly Chicago/Chicagoland swept under the rug as well as national & it was called Detective Shaved Longcock. True or Tru News USA was another.

Detectyve Who? I'd remember that one.

‘Tone took care of business as expected. 55-14

Coalers put up a decent fight @ Morris, but eventually got worn down. I heard their QB1 also suffered an injury and didn’t play the second half. Unsure of his status. 31-12

Wilmo handled Hope a bit easier than I expected. After giving up an early score, adjustments were made, and Hope did little the rest of the way. 44-6

Manteno put up quite a few points vs Sandwich and won what looked to be a bit of a shootout. 54-32.

Streator pulled out the win vs Ike in what was maybe a mini upset. 20-12

Herscher got relatively handled by Chicago Christian. 34-14.

R-C got humbled by a decent EPG team. 28-6

It looks rough in Lisle. Scored the first TD then proceeded to give up 42 unanswered to a Harvard team that hadn’t won a game since 2021. 42-7

Overall 4-4 for the league.

Chicago Christian’s new HC was the sophomore HC at Mt Carmel. I think this is a program that is going to do some good things under him. Excited to watch them over the next few years.
