When is the last time…

[tuccs]

3 teams from the same conference were playing for 3rd consecutive championships? Or the last time a conference had 6 teams playing for championships scattered throughout 5 classes and probably favored in every one of those games?

That is pretty impressive!

Oh boy…….. this is what gets the Private vs Public disdain going.

Good god man. We’ve gone an entire playoff season without this topic flaring up too bad. Don’t poke.

Very impressive, but no other conference has 24 teams.

 

[tuccs]

Two teams that played each other this season playing in a rematch of last year too! That’s gotta be close to first time ever

Although true that no other conferencehas exactly 24 teams, there is one conference with more teams...

The real question is, when is the last time you haven’t sandbagged tuccs?!!!

 

[Irish LB]

How many they got playing next weekend?

 

[rjjtwest]

How many they got playing next weekend?

A few teams….

 

[PowerI66]

4th straight year of MC v Batavia. 3rd straight year York vs LA. 2nd straight Naz v jca.

If CG pulled it out, 3 of 4 years vs ESL.

Just further proof that Illinois is very top heavy when it comes to football talent.

Generally I get your point, but I don’t know if the LWE Loyola game supports that sentiment. There really is no way that LWE should have lost tonight with all their talent. I think it may just speak to the experience of the coaches and the attitudes of their programs. Just my thoughts.

My comment was in response to PowerI mentioning all the rematches, not necessarily this specific game.

 

[PowerI66]

Other fun facts... LAs last playoff loss was to Lockport in 2021 in the championship game. MC hasn't lost to a public school in the playoffs since the Nubin game in 201*8. Batavia has only lost to two teams in the playoffs the last 7 years (Naz and MC). ESL hasn't lost in the playoffs to a team (not counting the FF season) not called CG or MC since 2014.

When he was playing. There was no need to sandbag 😂

MC didn’t lose in 2019.

 

[PowerI66]

MC didn’t lose in 2019.

Haha. Second time I made that mistake today. *2018

Will be interesting to see MC in 8A the next few years.

Another random fact...Richards came to ESL and beat ESL 7-6 in the semis in '13. Since then they have played 4x in the playoffs (all at CCJ) and ESL has outscored them 233-0.

Yes, it will! Thank God!!!! I wonder if BR will petition to 7A next year.

and Richards wishes they hadn't done that. 5 hours is a long bus ride back with both cheeks blistered 😂
