Would he notice anything about these shirts at Neuqua Valley?
I'm guessing he wouldn't talk about it - he would DO IT!
I hope that's on the next ACT test as well.

And Iggy graduated Todd Stroger? Yea there a lot of bright kids at Iggy but if your connected you can be a cement head and still graduate from there.LA is a great school academically, but Iggy is better. My Dad went to Iggy in the 50's and jokes that they use to call the plays in the huddle in Latin.
Or Fenwick too.
I guess I should have qualified my prior statement a bit about LA's competition for talent. Did not mean to upset anyone and certainly not the Dons of ND. Great program, tough kids, tough place to play on the road. Know that firsthand. It was my opinion really just based on many conversations over the years with LA alum & dads of LA players and also knowing LA annually turns away over 150+ (maybe more?) boy test takers who want to attend. That's pretty unique these days (second maybe only to Iggy). Marist, Rice, MC, Rita, Laurence are not turning anyone away, based on numbers.
'You're"...not your. Geez.
University of Michigan and Robert Morris plus the Wisconsin/Upper Peninsula were ment to be jokes as was the DLS to Wisconsin the other guy poster posted I presume. Save the bullets for next week if a couple of teams win that have a history of obnoxious posting. You do the serious posting I'll do the less serious stuff. Good luck Saturday.

I heard the plays were called in pig latin.
Thanks.
I like a good joke as much as the next guy. What frosts me a bit (okay, more than a bit) is the attempt to paint Loyola as having no competition for top talent student athletes. That simply isn't happening.
If it were happening, you would see far more LA players going on to play big time college ball. Right now, I think that Jake Marwede at Duke is probably as close as any Rambler comes to big time college ball, and I don't think anyone mistakes Duke for a football factory. BTW, Tommy Herrion, last year's QB at Loyola, started this year as a walk on at Iowa and he just announced he is transferring to New Hampshire at the semester.
I seriously think the last Loyola player to go pro was Dave Finzer (LA '78) who punted for the Chicago Bears (good old #15) and Seahawks for two seasons. Even then, Finzer came to the Bears out of D III DePauw. The ONLY other LA player in my lifetime who I saw play in the NFL was Tim Foley (LA '66).
Total facts on the above. Loyola graduates more business and entertainment alums than athletes. RMan - If you're attending the game this Sat, can you post the action. It'll be the first one I miss this year. Attending a colleagues retirement party.
Your wrong on Marist. And maybe right on Rita, at least for this year.
Speaking from a Marist's grads point of view I have never heard from any of the other Marist grads I know of not being able to forgive them going coed or changing the mascot from redskins to RedHawks. As a matter of fact I think going coed was a great move wish they did it while I was there lol. In all seriousness it was an extremely intelligent move at that time and in my opinion has really benefited the school. And man has this thread really veered from the original topic lol
I'll get the thread back on topic. Two posts in eight years so I'll be gentle. Does Marist cover the spread Saturday. How would you bet?
Thanks.

It's all about LA's nutrition program!This is the thing that impresses me the most about the LA program that Holocek has built. The only other high major guy besides Marwede I can think of was Chance Carter that went to Northwestern. They lack the high end D1 talent that many of the successful programs churn out but just find tough, athletic kids that fit what they are doing. I think that helps them sustain their dominance because they don't have these huge holes to fill when these type of kids graduate. They lose their talented seniors and just plug in the next wave of kids and never miss a beat.

Must be nice. Too bad for those other schools who can't recruit to their system!
Yeah but its not like that 10% not enrolling are non-athletic academically challenged kids. Usually if you are losing 10% its either good athletes and/or good academic students. There is a difference between "getting who you get" and "going out to get".It must really suck for public schools to enroll, by default, between 90%-100% of the high school aged kids in your districts year in and year out. Such a disadvantage, right?
I don’t know that this was “an intelligent move as much as a major surgical procedure to avoid impending death. I think the school was at death’s door. Good to hear from ya again flcowboy.As a matter of fact I think going coed was a great move wish they did it while I was there lol.

There was around 1200 boys in the school at the time they went co-ed so they were hardly at death's door.

Rice brings back a ton next year and will be pretty darn good. They were young this year.What a clown. And you wonder why people can't stand Rice fans. You talk so much trash for someone whose program went 2-7, LOST to Marist, and couldn't even find the energy to play in the prep bowl. You argued with me in an earlier thread that you didn't consider Marist your rival. Well it's good to see that they obviously occupy a LOT of real estate in your head. The only thing "at death's door" is Rice's football program.
There are way more girls than boys in the current pool of students on the south side. Plain and simple. Some schools are benefiting from the trend, and others are drowning. As stated above- "intelligent move". I'd say go back to your day job with the rest of the maroon faithful, but it seems like you have a lot of time on your hands... Stay hot.
I don't know all the ins and outs of the decision I just think they saw the trends for enrollment were going in the wrong direction and there was an opportunity to solidify the enrollment by going coed before things got tough. As you can see with the declining numbers of enrollment over the years at the other schools in the area it seems like the right choice was made.Silly question on my part, if that's so, what was the rational to go coed?

I'm an LA guy, so I hope they stink in perpetuity.Agreed. I expected a better year than 2-7 but they have loads of talent in the building and should be pretty tough next year. Not to rehash the Prep Bowl argument but that is why I would have loved to see them keep playing. Give all that young talent some more seasoning for next year.

Hey don’t be upset that your boy said they best thing Loyola does is illegal for just about everybody else. Congrats on starting at third base!
My boy?
What that poster basically said was that what impressed him the most about Loyola is that they DON'T do what you think they do relative to getting great talent. Reading is fundamental. Pay closer attention.
According to the IHSA, Rice has 732 boys. If Marist was at death's door with 1200 boys, what does that make Rice with 732?
Loyola may not have a ton of high end d1 kids but I would guess that they have more players than any school in IL playing at the next level, either fcs, d2, or d3. They still get a ton of outstanding players that go on the play in college. Let's not act like they play with a bunch of average size/speed kids. They have some big dudes playing there and dbs/lbs who are a step slow to play d1 so they end up at solid academic schools and play at a very high level there. Without even looking I bet you could look at the pioneer/patriot league rosters and find at least 5 former ramblers on the rosters.This is the thing that impresses me the most about the LA program that Holocek has built.

please, please please.....show me any kind of data that says Marist had 1200 boys in 2001. That is FAKE NEWS! BR was largest all boys school in the state at the time and was under 1200 then. I tried verifying the enrollment on IHSA but Marist's data is unavailable because they did not make the playoffs any year between 1996-2005, so tell me how great things were going on 115th.According to the IHSA, Rice has 732 boys. If Marist was at death's door with 1200 boys, what does that make Rice with 732?
Maybe you should heed your own advice and not twist what he said to make it look like LA doesn’t recruit. He was saying they don’t recruit the highly touted athletes, the recruit the right ones. Again, congrats on the recruiting success!
Is that for real Ramblinman? I thought it just wasn’t talked about. Never knew it was illegal.Athletic recruiting is prohibited by the IHSA. If you are aware of Loyola or any other school breaking those rules, please provide your proof to the IHSA. If you have no proof, STFU.

You should really reread the post, guy.Hey don’t be upset that your boy said the one thing Loyola does well is illegal for just about everybody else. Congrats on starting at third base!
