Fenwick opted out
Just like Rice last year.Oh well.That is their choice.I love the Prep Bowl and extra football gamesFenwick opted out
More importantly, who or what is a Munyon? And why must he, she or it go?
De La Salle vs St Joes
Marmion vs Leo
St Laurence vs DePaul Prep
St Rita with a Bye
If it bothers you just ignore it. It's the super bowl for the C.P.S.Clearly, a new low for the Prep Bowl. One team with a 5-4 record. Four teams with records of 3-6. St. Joes with one win. De Paul with zero wins. Someone in this thread mentioned a "parody account". This is parody football. The way some people on this board cling to this silliness, claiming it is a 'tradition" is absurd. This event became irrelevant in 1974. It is now 2018. Enough already.

This isn’t even the NIT anymore, it’s stooped to CBI levels.
It gives our kids at least one more opportunity to play on our new home field. I think that has meaning for them, especially for the seniors.
Must be Providence,Bishop Mac or Wheaton St FrancisWhat school do you follow? Are you some sort of forfeiter?
Voice: Most of these guys who throw stones at the Prep Bowl don't identify the school they support. He's just another putz.
I love the CBI,NIT and CIT.This isn’t even the NIT anymore, it’s stooped to CBI levels.
I really don't understand why people complain about the Prep Bowl. If you dont like it, dont pay attention. Obviously it's important to certain people and certain schools, Why does that bother you? Just move on if you have no interest.
Everyone hates CPS. Everyone hates Catholic Schools. The Prep Bowl is the perfect storm for all of this rageI really don't understand why people complain about the Prep Bowl.

Speaking of this, has anyone seen a bracket yet? I know it can change with an early IHSA exit, but a preliminary bracket?It is darn near impossible to pay attention. The CCL and/or CPS should at least have a place to follow the games and see the brackets. You generate more interest with more exposure. IMO Keep the Prep Bowl and put a little effort into promoting it.
I don’t have a problem with it. I do have an issue with the CCL people that think it’s a big deal to win it. CPS is a different story as they’ve been trying to catch up to CCL schools forever and in most cases are dealt an unfair hand. I almost always would rather see a CPS win it. It’s a definite advantage for the schools participating as it gives them extra practice time, especially for the young guys, in that sense it’s very smart. Hopefully it doesn’t delay the start of b-ball or wrestling for some kids tho.I really don't understand why people complain about the Prep Bowl. If you dont like it, dont pay attention.

With all that said I’m fine with it existing and continuing but this bracket is a joke right now. Don’t pimp a postseason tournament to me with the likes of St Joe’s and DePaul lol.
You’re correct, I always thought it’d be interesting if someone did. Hard to galvanize the troops if there isn’t a game to prepare for. Parents these days will be upset they have to pick their kid up etc.Although I have not heard of anyone doing it, every school can practice football up until the state championship game.
You guys are 2 plays away from going to the playoffs.You guys are first class.I loved being up to see you play this yearI think that the prep bowl is perfect for my Vikings this year. We were a VERY young squad. They can use all of the reps they can get. I am kind of seeing this as an extension of the coming offseason. There is no way to get reps of this quality in the spring or summer, getting looks at kids from different levels. These games will make you a better program down the road.
True, but if my Aunt had balls, she'd be my Uncle. We are what our record says we are. I appreciate your sentiments towards the Vikings. We had a punchers chance this year at 5 wins, but we swung and missed. We'll be in the real tourney next year, but, for now, bring on the Rams.You guys are 2 plays away from going to the playoffs.You guys are first class.I loved being up to see you play this year
I feel bad for DePaul.Glad they got to play another game.Would love to see the Vikes run the table!!! I love Larry!!StL 51- TECH 7 final. Running clock first half.
No, but a certain suburb catholic school thinks their gonna die driving to Gately. Lmao. Can’t stop my self. LolHe is a Naz fan but his point is legitimate, De La Salle earned a spot by having a winning record but the other teams are terrible and should not be playing in the post season.
The luster has really come off the Prep Bowl the last few years with the demise of CPS football and the game moving to Gatley. Next year they are going to add a bunch of Suburban Catholic schools, how does that figure in with the “tradition” so many old school CCL guys talk about? If anything it will take away from the game even more by eliminating teams like St Rita and De La Salle and replacing them with Benet and Carmel, is that good thing? Are people from the Suburbs dying to drive to Gatley on the Friday morning after thanksgiving to watch football?
And before anyone gives me some anti Catholic school crap my kids go to Catholic school and I’m fine with the prep bowl being played but it is becoming a joke in its current set up.
