    I'm just disappointed for the teams that aren't repped but probably should be. Just looking at 5A, you get 2 from Marian but none from Carmel or Provi? Just looking at it, Carmel hasn't had one since Bitto left, so they aren't nominating at all I guess.

    All-state

    Coaches are just nominating their best players. It's not a pro-bowl where they are playing a game. It's more like being a heisman finalist I guess. The best players deserve the recognition and probably use it as a chip in their recruiting efforts. It's really just the 13 best players in each...

    All-state

    Is this list out ALOT earlier than normal or is it just me? I'm seeing some schools with NOBODY on the list where I would have expected a at least one. And is it only kids whose coaches pay to be members or the IHSFCA or can any team be on there? I'm sure there can be a thread just about who...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    My point is I still don't think the multiplier measures the difference based on the obvious difference in competitiveness in the middle classes. And I measured the current year and last year which makes it 6 (Morris and Harrisburg this year). Even if you used 2021, what's the overall head to...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    I think you might underestimate how much the swell of that opinion might be building personally. Especially in the mid-sized classes. Bigger classes are schools that can run with anyone b/c they can find 20 plus kids to compete when they are picking form 1500+ boys. Smallest classes don't...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    I didn't bring up records or the fact that the CCL drops 5-4 teams in and could care less about a poorer record beating a better record. We all know that. My contention is that those schools don't belong in 4/5/6A. I don't condone a separate system, but I do support a system that recognizes...

    Public Semifinalists- 22 Private- 10

    Considering there were 8x as many pubics as privates (227 v 29) when the playoffs started, I think the fact that the ratio is now 2.2 is one the publics would point to, no? That, and the fact that only 11 of the 29 privates have lost to a public school.

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    I guess that's the REAL difference in how public vs private viewpoints really is. If the base case is NOT multiplied, it assumes both entities are on equal footing as to their ability to procure talent. I personally think that is NOT the majority opinion in Illinois, and I know it's not how...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    I'm not totally sure I buy the discrimination part of this. I think a uniform formula that acknowledges the fact that a non-boundary school has a different talent pool to pull from is fairly level headed. Someone came up with a formula that said they have a 65% advantage, so that's something...

    Proposal to replace multiplier

    I am curious why we allow the multiplier waiver though. I wasn't following HS closely when this multiplier was instituted and I have never been able to understand why the waiver got instituted or expanded over time. You can be snarky all you want, but does a school's enrollment landscape...

    IHSA Sold Playoff Rights to NFHS

    Its kinda crazy that they charge the schools and then also charge the viewers. The fee for round one was $250. And schools are being forced to do that even if they have set up their own youtube or some other venue. Why are we forcing schools to use this option? Ihsa sold the rights for...

    Back by popular demand: my annual playoff mismatch rant

    Well, my point is that your stance that takes away memories of hundreds of kids. And I can answer your question, you just won't like the answer. There is no number of blowouts that are too many. If you think that making every game competitive is the goal of high school sports, I think you...

    Back by popular demand: my annual playoff mismatch rant

    I'm still confused on the need for this rant in the first place. Blowouts happen at every level, playoffs and regular season alike. We see them in the championship games. Hell, we see them in the pros at the SUPER BOWL! It happens in the NCAA tournament every year. You let teams in from...

    My weekend coverage plans

    Glad to see @EdgyTim coming out to the sticks for the game! Unfortunately Bitto retired last year. Was a great addition while we had him. Expecting a good game. Last year's matchup went down to the very end and I think both teams have improved quite a bit since that first game last year...

    Rough weekend for CPS teams

    This may be anecdotal, but them playing on friday night was a mistake too. I know the team Antioch played was poor, but dropping 3 straight kickoffs that were basic back row kicks was nuts. Like they never played a night game....
