What brings you here?

I heard about Edgy's board back when I frequented a different (and long defunct) board back in the late 90s. I'm pretty sure I started posting in 1997 or 98.

I joined because I enjoy high school sports in general, and football in particular. I would rather watch a high school game of pretty much any sport at any level than to watch the pros play. I have worked at four different private high schools, although I have been out of that part of my career path for almost 20 years.

I played football at my Catholic grammar school. I was relatively athletic, but too small then to make any real waves in the sport. My ectomorph body type was much more suited to soccer, which I played in high school and college.

I was pretty ectomorphic myself. I weighed a buck and a quarter in high school and not much more than that now.

What's with all you little guys? :)

I was 5'11" 220 going into the 6th grade at St Patrick's Joliet.

But as luck would have it, I was only 6'0" 230 by the time I graduated from Joliet Catholic.

Feetos Friday Upset Special.....

IDC if they return 11 starters on both sides of the ball ... if they beat Morris, it's an UPSET
I would say if JW won it would be one of there biggest wins in a long time.
They would tear down the goalposts 💪😂

I will also take Joliet West over Morris. :)

St Rita streaming update?

Rocky - any insights, here?
I would assume with with the poster’s handle, could be trolling. Audio wasn’t the problem relayed to me. If @PhilsBurner is correct though, as long as the scoreboard is in the bottom left of the screen, then you will be able to follow down and distance and time, quarter and score and having no audio would not be the biggest problem. But there will be a stream and @McCaravan ’s link is correct. And I have not heard Phil’s information he may have received regarding the stream. All systems go from my conversations.

One of the best QB duels of the season?

Barrington vs Hersey

Gumino over at Hersey has the offers and is a stud. Kid has a rocket for an arm and looked really good running the ball last week. Should be a little easier going against the Barrington defense compared to that Warren defense last week.

Barrington has Peipert who had a huge statistical season last year. He had a big game last week finishing a perfect 10/10 in passing.

Should be a fun game with a lot of points (and not much defense)

Who do you got winning?

HOT CPL Thursday Action Week 2

Can’t Co-Op because of rivalry with gangs which is almost as pathetic as Hillcrest people not turning in the killers of that young man last year
Yet according to the IHSA website all these teams are co-oped this season. Must have called a gang truce:

Chicago (Bowen) [Coop]
Chicago (Clark) [Coop]
Chicago (Chicago Academy) [Coop]
Chicago (Collins) [Coop]
Chicago (Corliss) [Coop]
Chicago (DuSable) [Coop]
Chicago (Marshall) [Coop]
Chicago (Perspectives/Leadership) [Coop]
Chicago (Urban Prep/Bronzeville) [Coop]

Feetos Friday Upset Special.....

I don't know a lot about JT West but I remember hearing they returned several starters and have high expectations this year. This may not be an upset.
Look at the history of both teams. I was a young tyke but was at the 1974 West win over Joliet Catholic. West shit the bed the rest of the year otherwise would have made the playoffs

Wanna hear something creepy about how I learned I was an ectomorph?

Back in the Middle Ages during my freshman year of college at the small liberal arts school I attended, we all had to fulfill a semester-long general Phys Ed requirement. On the second or third day of our P.E. class, the teacher (also the well-respected and long-tenured head FB coach, btw) had all the guys in our males only class remove our shirts, and he took Polaroid photos of each of us individually standing against the wall of the racquet ball court wearing only our college-issued phys ed shorts (which, being in the 1970s, were pretty darn short). He then had us study all of the photos of our classmates and classify them by body type (ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph). Yikes!
That teacher was creepy even in those days 😂
