There is ALMOST no way that even the biggest knucklehead(s) on this board could derail this thread enough to get it deleted. (That wasn't a challenge, by the way.)I apologize for possibly not being on topic of IHSA football here and I hope I don’t get flushed for that. Good luck to those of you with teams still remaining and may there be plenty of excitement in the games we follow for those of you less fortunate.
Thank you both for your responses and to everyone for the likes. I truly appreciate the well wishes. It’ll be a few years off but as long as I continue on this career path I may try and update you all on what career situation I’m in.

He’s working for ESPN now in Bristol.Alright alright alright...your message is well written and you surely should pursue a career that’s both enjoyable and rewarding. MIZZOU isn’t that far away an school for Journalism. Good luck to you!
BUT, can we get back to the subject at hand:
A discussion about the best team in the state and it’s hundreds of miles of travel to play lessor skilled opponents only to be victimized by unfair officials who impose lopsided penalty counts in the name of fair play and prosperity...

I considered it but with how nice people have been to me tonight(28 likes! and some very kind comments) I figured I ought save starting an all out war for later. Plus I’d at least have snuck a LWE or Naz or Warren or etc in at #10 to give the slightest amount of believability to it if I wanted to trollOh you should have laid that sarcasm out without a clue of your intentions.![]()
