FinalJeez..
Starters were done halfway through the second quarter.Jeez..
What was the score in your game last night bones?@Zvonar
There is no need to do more than 35-0 in week 9. Winning 72 to nothing will not help anyone.
60-0 Thursday night. If you played T-Ridge this season you'd understand.What was the score in your game last night bones?

This type of score can be avoided in the LWE/BB game easily by using measures that did not work against T-Ridge.
Could you elaborate?60-0 Thursday night. If you played T-Ridge this season you'd understand.What was the score in your game last night bones?

LWE can come in with a bland offensive game plan. You'll still score, but it'll take more plays and time off the clock. You can get the 2nd string in early and 3rd string most of the 2nd half. You can let the play clock wind down before snapping. You can ease up on the blitzing.Could you elaborate?

Those minor adjustments will make for a much more enjoyable experience for everyone. Think of how proud the 3rd string parents will be after getting to see their kids play extended minutes. Liable to be a highlight of their lives. Don't take that away from them.
Among the 10 teams to remain in the SWSC for next season, after the last 3 years, a natural break in competitiveness exists between the top 5 (LWE, H-F, 'Brook, LWC, LWW) and the next 5 (Andrew, Bradley, Sandburg, Lockport, Stagg).I missed my first East game last night as I figured it would not be much of a game. Everyone, I have a sincere question. Has the conference quality gone down like I *think* it has or is East really as good as it appears? I mean Andrews looked terrible and they are now 6-1. HF looked terrible and they are 6-1. LW Central looked terrible and they are 5-2.
OK, I get it that one could say LWE made everyone look terrible, but it does seem the conference talent may be a bit down. East has given up only 38 points in 7 games with 4 shut outs. Naperville Central played East tough, they are not in conference.
Just askin'...

I have seen a lot of terrible play calling against East. LW Central was determined to run...same with Andrew. Crete and Naperville Central at least tried to throw. Of course Thorne from NC may be the best QB I have seen this year.
I am a competitive guy, but just do not want to humiliate young kids on the other side of the ball. Remember, these are kids. It is OK to disagree, but I think Bones overall point was to try to reduce the humiliation factor, unless I mistook his point.Videosurfer
What do you agree with? Have East sit starters to play down to the level of the teams? Rediculious.
They are already getting everyone in the game. The 2nd and 3rd string are already getting more playing time than the starters. This thinking is silly. You play to win nobody goes into the game with a plan to be bland.
Unbelievable.

@Videosurfer is correct.
East would have difficulty keeping it under 100 against Thornridge this year. I think the blowout has to be relative to the teams playing. T-Ridge lost 60-16 to Bloom. Bloom is 2-4 (dont know about this week's game). They lost 56-14 to Andrew. While 60-0 looks bad, in context it could have been a lot worse. And we only have a 2nd string. After seeing it you have to wonder if it wouldn't have been better to have the 2nd string and few other backups get the whole game.I find this funny that you Bones are saying this after a BB blow out 60-0.
Z generally does not try to run up scores. He try’s to get everyone in the game when he can. If you watch LWE games you will see subs are always coming into the games when he can get them playing time. I get it you don’t want to embarrass the other team but it can be hard to tell kids don’t score or completely change the game plan for subs, how do the learn that way?

Back to LWE. I see up there in @WIU78's post that the starters were out at 35-0 and the 3rd string got the last 5 minutes. I'm thinking 28-0 the 2nd string comes in. That's probably in the 1st Qtr maybe early in the 2nd. Then the 3rd string and others in the entire 4th. I don't think you change the game plan, or don't play hard, just leave the more explosive plays on the shelf after a certain point. It's not going to be hard to not score 60 on us, but it will certainly be possible if one wants to.
I don’t disagree but don’t see people condemning Maine South too much when they were “Maine Southing” opponents
Z normally gets to 40 then brings the reserves in.
No one is giving LWE grief from what I can tell. I'm just asking that extra care be taken in week 9 so it's more like the LWC game and less like Lockport.Agree with both you guys. I know Z and he isn’t thinking running up the score, he is just trying to get his starters playing time while also getting everyone in the game. This is nothing new for East.
It’s not a plan to run up the scores. LWE Dad called it out why nobody complaining about the so called Maine Southing opponents?
If we still had Dashawn Mallory and a passing game I would give us a punchers chance.Still think BB will give them a better game than Bones is making out. After all he is the master of sandbagging. LOL
How about we play it like it’s a BB game and see where it takes us.No one is giving LWE grief from what I can tell.

I wonder, does anyone think BB would hit the breaks if they went up on us?How about we play it like it’s a BB game and see where it takes us.
Lol
Bones is always trying to make it look like they only have a punchers chance. He might be right this year. We know BB will bring their best for this game they always do.
