Elliott had an amazing Freshman year
Tata’s....Solid. Similar to Palermo’s with the sauceThis thread sucks every year and seems to be some kind of South Side CCL circle jerk. I would comment more but I cannot find the necessary f**ks to give about testing numbers.
I love pizza though. Vito and Nick's and Tata's are top choices.

Rosies on Cicero is my go to for thatWhat about gyros? Billy Boys?
OK so how about some north side numbers. I hear DePaul tested about 800. Crazy. What about ND and Pats? Assume Loyola got enough to land another 500 freshman was usual.
I reported DePaul having 800 last year and people thought I was crazy. DePaul Prep is a sleeping giant in all things non football. Football will take some time. IMHO.That number out of DePaul Prep was very impressive to say the least. Heard Loyola had 150 boys and girls test but 500 called off sick and are coming this week for the makeup. So Loyola had 800 total test takers. They did south side math up north over the weekend!
They are a result of what happens when you get a professional Board to run a school. By professional I don't mean bought and paid in a a negative way. It is an amazing story.I reported DePaul having 800 last year and people thought I was crazy. DePaul Prep is a sleeping giant in all things non football. Football will take some time. IMHO.
Will you be going to Brother Rice on Saturday morning to count attendees. The Crusaders are living rent free in your head.That number out of DePaul Prep was very impressive to say the least.

Did they build a football field yet on that new campus? Yes they are a sleeping giant. That old devry campus is absolutely beautiful.I reported DePaul having 800 last year and people thought I was crazy. DePaul Prep is a sleeping giant in all things non football. Football will take some time. IMHO.
Yes a beautiful new stadium. Seems a bit silly with Lane being there but a well run school is an active school plus Lane was putting the screws to them for years on rentals. I know they plan on building a pool as well as a dedicated wrestling room. This competition will make Pats a better school as well. Hopefully drains the talent pool at least an inch up at Loyola. ha.Did they build a football field yet on that new campus? Yes they are a sleeping giant.

I guess point taken. However I think you have it all wrong. Its every other all boys Catholic High School that’s living rent free in Brother Rices heads. Seems like they just can’t accept how things have changed and their title of largest all boys Catholic school in the country is no more.Will you be going to Brother Rice on Saturday morning to count attendees.

MC Freshman played DePaul there this year in week 2. Very nice I’m told. And props to them for agreeing to play us on very short notice since Phillips didn’t field a Fr teamDid they build a football field yet on that new campus? Yes they are a sleeping giant.

Notre Dame is larger in area and I am not sure it has been largest in the country ever.I guess point taken. However I think you have it all wrong.

Agreed - mc2023 seems to be a pot stirer - seems like he has some penis envy or Napoleon complex going onNotre Dame is larger in area and I am not sure it has been largest in the country ever.
Fitting comment @Topiary……. What’s with the obsession with penis talk over there? Not a pot stirrer…… Just have a very low tolerance for BS!Agreed - mc2023 seems to be a pot stirer - seems like he has some penis envy or Napoleon complex going on
Lane Stadium is a dump. Granted, it looks cool from the outside, but the stands are crumbling, the bathrooms don't work, and you can't read the scoreboard, nor understand the PA system. Watching a game at Lane this year, it was easier to read the DePaul scoreboard and hear the DePaul announcer. than it was to see the Lane scoreboard and hear the Lane announcer. I'm sure it won't be long before CPS teams that care about football are trying to play at the new facility.Yes a beautiful new stadium.

So Napoleon - you send me private messages where I lay out exact scenario of what you call bs but what is fact. So outside of insinuating my mom and some very good people at Rice are in on some sort of inflation conspiracy and are lying, there is really no way we could ever assauge your inner suspicions unless you were able to come into school and review each name of test taker. So I suggest you reach out to your inside guys after this weekend and see what happens or better yet call Mark Donahue and express your beef? You're obsession with this is both laughable and sad.Fitting comment @Topiary……. What’s with the obsession with penis talk over there? Not a pot stirrer…… Just have a very low tolerance for BS!
Just the turf.Did CPS renovate Lane recently or did they just do the turf? It really does look nice as you drive by it.
It’s a great stadium, but for some reason they didn’t build any visitor stands. That stadium has been packed for a football team that hasn’t been very good. I can’t imagine what will happen if and when they get good again. There’s just no room for more fans. The day they built it I was like “where are the visitor stands “? I just thought it was an odd decision.MC Freshman played DePaul there this year in week 2. Very nice I’m told.

Not really. I saw Iggy DePaul it was crowded. Lot of people outside the fences pretty congested and not sure that can change but those are good problems to have.Is there room for them?
There may be a little, but the main problem is that they built that stadium from scratch and all they needed to do was slide it over about 10 more yards to put up the stands. There is/was plenty of land there. Just an odd decision.Is there room for them?
Self-serving lies are the ones people tell to make themselves look better or to spare themselves from embarrassment or punishment or blame or from getting their feelings hurt. You know the kind — you claim to have performed better than you really did or you deny that you did something bad or embarrassing.So Napoleon - you send me private messages where I lay out exact scenario of what you call bs but what is fact.

This senior class at BR was one of their all time lows in testing numbers. It was coming off a 2-7 Football season. The following year, after being the State runner up, they tested about 250. I think the 750 number is highly inflated, most school fudge the numbers a bit and round up but from people I know say they are at about 700, more likely 690 but round it up to 700.I’m still trying to do the math how BR has 750 kids in the school but only has 114 kids in the senior class… 114 seniors and 200+ in each of the following classes?
I remember back in the day when Gordon Tech had 10,000 boys.This senior class at BR was one of their all time lows in testing numbers. It was coming off a 2-7 Football season.

I think it was 2,500 or so tops.I remember back in the day when Gordon Tech had 10,000 boys.
It never actually closed right? I thought they were just taken over by DePaul.Why did it close?
