    Feeto's Friday Upset Special....

    We all know what MS is all about, particularly in meaningful games. They are averaging a state title every 3 years. They have the ingredients to "swagger" again this year with all conference/all-state qb, rb, te/wr and edge rusher/dl. Maine South by 10.

    What do numbers look like

    No need to defend the record. There‘s no shame in not winning the top classification. 1A through 7A all have much to be proud of.

    New: IHSA Football Coaches Preseason Poll

    It doesn’t matter one bit. It probably hurt the teams that lost players. They did not get to practice with them the 30 or so contact days we had in the fall. Regarding MS, the advantage goes to Evanston and NT who had a full roster And full practices with them. Should be fun. It‘s my...

    starting lineup of your all-time favorite players for your school

Has started 31 of 34 games at Colgate. On the defensive side, defensive tackle Charlie Pontarelli. Another first team all state mauler...

    Happy Test Day!

    Yes, you are spot on. As I'm reading the posts, I'm fascinated that the discussion is strictly on the enrollment as it relates to your respective football teams. The underlying red flag is less and less students taking the test annually for general enrollment. It's a negative trend that will...

    Happy Test Day!

    To answer your question honestly and as someone whose kids played at LA, including my daughters, the thought process for most responsible parents supersedes just football. Maybe the cost factor of the schools. Possibly attending a school that offers a co ed education. As a parent, are you...

    LWE vs ESL who is number one?

    It's funny - I was thinking the same thing. Its a lesson my wife and I taught our kids. The big dog doesn't need to bark. There's a lot of barking going on right now..

    LWE vs ESL who is number one?

    This debate reminds of 2015 when then 7A champ Glenbard West had a very nice undefeated season and thought they could of beaten our 8A champion Ramblers. There was nothing for us to say, but had a nice chuckle over the thought. I'm sure LWE feels the same way.

    You might have a problem with numbers 3 and 4

    Yes, and my team is one if them behind St. Rita. Unfortunately for LA, they couldn’t make the final game while St. Rita did so I would say the rankings are fair.

    MC vs. Naz

    MC , what’s with all the piss and vinegar. Posters are posting their views. Victory formation should have been taken as voiced by the MC administration according to a previous MC poster. Also, aside from the fact that MS has beaten MC in two state finals, what’s with the grudge against MS? I...

    Conratulations to mt.carmel,on their long trad ion of winning state championships,BUT

    I’m not here to defend Frank or anyone else. I call it as I see it. I believe his point was that hiring a coach based on how good they were in college and being a trophy finalist does not mean you will be successful. We can agree on that I believe. Regarding the stadium, it obviously was a huge...

    Conratulations to mt.carmel,on their long trad ion of winning state championships,BUT

    No he did not. I just saw the full interview and what he said was that the new stadium was his old practice field that they added a press box and extended the seating. It was descriptive to the interviewer and said with no malice. Watch the interview from the link below. Very interesting. I did...

    Conratulations to mt.carmel,on their long trad ion of winning state championships,BUT

    I can feel how torn you are between your loyalty and love for Frank and the school. I just finished the watching the interview and saw Frank as a humble man in a humble house giving us his honest thoughts. I did not hear him bashing the school or the students and his other co worker teachers...

    Horse collar and encroachment question 8A

    I think you’re missing the point. Of course the refs don’t want to make a mistake and I am not attacking the refs. But obviously, when a game is impacted, something needs to be done. I’m sorry you felt this was a personal affront, it was not meant to be.
