    How good is Wheaton Warrenville South

    a couple of the interior line for South on Saturday were no where near that size. I'm guessing under 6" and 205 or less. Didn't have a program so couldn't look them up at the time.

    How good is Wheaton Warrenville South

    I'm not sure how you lose a player to a serious leg injury during a walk through practice the day before a game, but that seems to be what has happened. I'm guessing they may also have some injuries along the offensive line, as their interior OL were all very small. The center is shown as a...

    D3 football

    I think that Wheaton has already played and beat a better team than St. John's, North Central. Based on what I saw Aurora do to St. John's defense, I don't see them being able to stop Wheaton. I don't think St. John's has seen a defense as good as Wheaton's is this year and I think they will...

    D3 football

    I don't disagree with the points you are making here. The points you are making can be said of virtually every D3 conference in the country. But that is a completely different argument than where this originally started. You made the following claim: This is the statement you made that I...

    D3 football

    No problem and I would agree with you that Wartburg will beat Hope tomorrow. My point was simply that, IMO, if you could move some of the mid tier teams from the CCIW to other conferences, they would be more than able to compete with the top level teams in those conferences, because the CCIW is...

    D3 football

    I completely agree that teams like Susquehanna and JCU are much better than a lot of the teams that qualified and are more than deserving of being in the playoffs, but that is not the model that the NCAA has built for its championships. You can make this argument against any of the tournaments...

    D3 football

    A lot of people say that, but I don't think it is something that will ever happen. Yes they have struggled to compete in football and probably always will. But they are able to compete in other Men's sports, winning CCIW championships in Baseball in 2011 and 2012, Basketball in 2017 and Soccer...

    D3 football

    NCC was, most likely the last team selected for the playoffs and they were ranked #5 in the country in the final regular season poll. NCC would beat John Carroll by 20. Even most OAC posters on the D3football site feel bad the JCU wasn't selected, but also agree that they shouldn't have been...

    D3 football

    Incredibly uninformed post. Since the 2009 season, the CCIW has had 4 different teams qualify for the playoffs. In 8 of those seasons, the CCIW has qualified two teams for the playoffs. Since there are only 5-7 at large (Pool C) spots available each year, I would say that the CCIW is pretty...

    D3 football

    St. Thomas wasn't really looking to leave, they were basically kicked out of their conference as the other member schools were going to vote to disband the conference if St. Thomas remained a member. I was really surprised that happened. Doesn't say much about the other schools in the MIAC.

    Agree on Urwiler. That kid is a difference maker.

    NFL Draft

    Congrats to my nephew and Barrington grad, Scotty Miller! After a very productive career at Bowling Green, he was somewhat under the radar, but ended up being a 6th round pick of Tampa Bay.

    Cody Parkey

    When the brilliant Ryan Pace decided to "upgrade the kicking position" (a direct quote from Pace, btw) three seasons ago, he let go of a kicker who has converted on 67 of 70 FG attempts in the three years since he was cut by the Bears. In the same time period, Pace's multiple upgrades to the...

    Q: 2 weeks out , what team is the biggest favorite to win its class?

    Now I will be really interested to see how the Aurora Christian vs Princeville game plays out next week. AC beat Annawan-Wethersfield in a close game yesterday, 26-20. This is the same team Princeville beat in week 5, 42-6. With this game and the potential of a quarterfinal game against...

    Q: 2 weeks out , what team is the biggest favorite to win its class?

    In their 8 wins, I would agree. But in their one loss to a very good team by a score of 20-14, they may have faced all of those situations (I didn't see the game, so I don't know). Just because they lost that game doesn't mean they didn't learn from those situations. It's not like AC has been...

    Q: 2 weeks out , what team is the biggest favorite to win its class?

    Lena Winslow plays in the toughest small school conference in the state, the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference. Since 2010, this conference has produced 7 state football championships from 4 different teams. Since 2000, the number is 13 state championships from 7 different teams. Their only...

    Easiest Path to semi’s in 6A, 7A and 8A

    Since only 6% of high school seniors go on to play football in college (at all levels), I don't think a high school coach's primary goal is to move players along to the next level. The coaches that I played for were excellent in teaching the aspects of the game, but were also very good at...

    Easiest Path to semi’s in 6A, 7A and 8A

    LTHS - It goes beyond strange that a coach would put a video on twitter stating they are "going to the semis" before playing their first playoff game. Especially for a team that is 6-3 and a program that hasn't done anything in their playoff history. Among many adjectives that could be used to...

    To 5 coaches of all time in the ihsa.

    Agree on Bob Reade. Coached at Geneseo 1962-1978 with an overall record of 146-21-4. Had a 52 game winning streak and won 3 straight state championships, 1976-78. Then moved on to Augustana (where I played for him), where he compiled a 146-23-1 record, with a 60 game unbeaten streak and 4...

    St. Charles North @ Batavia

    I don't know about some of the other stuff with SCN, but a coach of a 6-3 team at a school that really hasn't ever done anything in the playoffs, has to be beyond a moron to post this over twitter. He is an idiot!
