How do you watch the state finals?

[PowerI66]

With all the debate on the actual games, what is your tradition for watching the games?

Personally, my family wakes up early and gets a Christmas tree early Friday. Then we get back in time to start watching the lower classes. I make a ham or turkey leftover sandwich, grab a beer, and sit down with my dad to watch the games. It's honestly one of my favorite memories of the season, especially as I grow older and start to build my future family (my wife is not too keen on this tradition).

Maybe it’s not my business but... I’d get rid of her and only replace her if you know the next one is a better woman. Sounds like maybe you still don’t have any kids; if that’s the case I’d make the move while you still can.

Dear lord, that's what you got out of what I said?

Wow, you’re a bundle of fun... maybe you deserve her.

This has been a more fun tradition than the handful of years before that. Let’s keep this current tradition going.

 

[ClownBaby]

I put it on the TV and leave it on all day while I’m doing stuff around the house I don’t really sit down and watch the games but I do watch them.

If WWS plays I go to the game but its been a few years so I forget the route to the stadium by now.

 

[eagles2k3]

For the first time since I can remember, I’m almost 40, I will not be at home watching the games. I don’t think I’ve missed the championship games since around 94. I first started watching when providence was in the midst of their glory years with a rb named Louis Medina.

I will be in Florida so I will probably be streaming them from my in laws house or I will be at the pool watching with a beverage in hand. I actually had to put up my Xmas lights today. I usually put them up at half time of all of the games starting on Friday.

Hah! Usually helping my parents bring in their lights and decorations up from the crawlspace during halftime and commercials. I like your version better.

 

[LakeCtyNewt]

It sounds kinda silly but I look forward to the small class finals as much as the big classes - except this year of course.

This board doesn’t talk much about the smaller schools so it’s kinda cool to see Lena Winslow or Byron or RICHMOND Burton play

But should I "get rid of" my wife for not liking high school football?

 

[Relist8]

Hey Next, pretty crazy that this Senior group of players for P.R. and Warren are fulfilling their Destinies after playing each other in the TCYFL Super Bowl as 8th graders! Special group of kids for each School!

I would factor a few other things but this should be on the checklist.

Yah was thinking about that last night. It’s a great group at PR and a couple of our guys last night asked how they did. I’ll be cheering for them Saturday.

Damn, it’s worst than I thought ! Before you said she didn’t like your tradition of watching the games in the manner you do but now you tell me she doesn’t like HS football???? It’s your life brother but don’t say No Bias didn’t warn ya.

 

[Blue Ruin]

She can't be a bossy woman or a fan of the Cubs. She has to like AC and she has to be good to the dog.

Who won that one?

So you just swear off all women? I try to keep the parameters realistic at least.

 

[Relist8]

Warren!

There are degrees.

If I’ve had dental work and I’m on novocaine I listen with the sound on, otherwise Ill watch with the sound off!

Big offseason for Naz to keep the tradition going. Would seem to be the ideal time to find JJ's replacement. Bring him in. Groom him for a year, then take over in 2021. Unless they go the transfer route after the 2020 season.

Good point JCA have any Qb’s that don’t want to hand it off anymore?

Exactly what we do! Mine either, but she was at the 8A finals regardless of location or weather in 2011, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18. What a trooper!

 

[johnndoe]

Usually with the sound off. I end up getting annoyed by one of more of the play-by-play announcers, color commentators, sideline personalities or studio hosts/hostesses fairly early in the going.

 

[Blue Ruin]

JCA have any Qb’s

I don't know, but they do have a stable of running backs.

 

[Irish LB]

Oh yeah they do. Naz loses 2 RB’s. Hmmm

 

[Blue Ruin]

The game starts at 4, so I'll have time to get a workout in. I'll have to don my moisture-wicking Mount Carmel gear. Add edibles and EDM and I can run forever.

What does she look like?

 

[ref2]

Except for the 3 I officiated, I sit at home and watch. A couple years I reffed a girls varsity basketball game early Friday so I missed the 1 and 2 A games.

 

[PowerI66]

What does she look like?

Good enough to where not being into HS football is acceptable.

 

[No Bias---Just Reality]

Good enough to where not being into HS football is acceptable.

“Good enough.....” I know what you meant but for your sake let’s hope she doesn’t see this.

Keep her.

There's always the combo option of fries on the sandwich

I love Friday just as much as Saturday if not more. The thing I like about the smaller teams is the deep sense of community. It seems like everybody knows everybody and they genuinely enjoy seeing each other. A few years back, I sat next to a dad, his dad, and his dads dad who all attended the same high school as the son playing that day. All 3 were farmers, liked to talk fishing as well as football, and didn't ride the coaches or refs. Pleasant folks to be around. Friday just has a different feel than Saturday when you're there in person.

 

[RD_Watcher]

Perhaps I missed it, but everyone be advised - all the games are being televised on UTOOH Channel 230 on Comcast.

 

[Wassup13]

Not on NBC Sports Chicago? Wow!
