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

What brings you here?

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 😂

What brings you here?

I've been around since the mid-90s. I remember Edgy's first internet presence (the blue and gold color scheme caught my eye!). You've come a long way baby! I also frequented the Tribune message boards (the absolute wild west back in the day!), PJ Star forums, Turks, Quad City message board (anyone remember that?) and even had my own slice of the interwebs for a bit (namely the NCIC message boards and NCI Preps). I've met countless good dudes on here and many in person (even tried to meet the reclusive "Willard" from Metamora at a basketball game but it didn't materialize). Love the passion that everyone has for their team, conference, geographic region, etc. Look forward to meeting many more of you in the future! Go football!

Bears

Prediction Time

How do the Bears do in game 1?

How does Caleb perform in game 1?

What week do we realize our offensive line issues are not yet fixed?
Well, I picked the Bears to win. Mostly because I think Tennessee will struggle all season. Hard for me to say how Caleb will do because I didn't see a down he played in pre-season. But from what I have heard and read he should be fine. Again, the Titans are pretty weak.

HOT CPL Thursday Action Week 2

A load of CPL teams get the majority of players when school actually starts. I would bet those teams will play games when they have enough players with the minimum practice days completed. It's tough to understand how difficult it is for teams in the CPL until you are around the CPL. While most fans can't possibly imagine teams not practicing during the summer or lifting all year during the offseason, getting kids to participate at most schools in the city is a monstrous task.
Move to 8-Man, or Co-Op
