Stick to what the IHSA purposed....Feb 15th practice, March 5th games begin. Until I hear otherwise that’s what I’m presuming will happen. The silence on this is the worst part because people start making blind meritless predictions and people take them as Gospel and go all frantic. I’ll look at it as black and white, either they play the Spring season as initially planned or they just cancel it entirely, no in between.
If those Spring games include pads & against a quality opponent go for it. I'd argue to let teams schedule who they want in state if no restrictions. 3 or 5 games. If it's about the '21s make sure they get majority of playing time regardless who on the roster, rest up , begin in July for traditional season
I’m well aware that the College chances for some of these kids who didn’t have film or previous exposure is done, but believe it or not most of them just want the chance to play this game again with their teammates from the last 4 years one last time before most of them hang it up.
The concept is to try to salvage some form of football for all of the football players.....does anyone really think we will have a full 9 game regular season and a post-season at this stage? I'll answer that.....we won't so why not tty something out of the box or at least consider something out of the box?
Totally agree that hope for any semblance of a normal-type FB season is gone and "out-of-the-box" thinking must rule. However, history tells us that glacial and monolithic organizations like state government, public school districts and the IHSA really do not have a history of such. I think they are now in SAVING FACE mode instead of SAVING SEASONS.
I’m well aware that their won’t be a traditional season with State Champions named, would my son and his senior class teammates want to go through that above purposed schedule to play two scrimmage games? No. Would they want to play a revised, 6 game, League schedule that included games against Loyola, Marist, Rice, Rita and a couple others? Maybe Naz, PC or JCA? Make it some type of conference championship....Hell yes they would! @EdgyTim I don’t mean to say there is no merit in that scenario he did, I just don’t think many players, especially the seniors, would be on board or excited about it. My opinion only.
