Some rough years to say the least. I think Coach Blaker will turn them around and end the streak. Have solid numbers out this season.

Oh no! Does that means some entity is illegally co-opting the IFCA logo?:

Hate hearing Luther will be out for about a month with a groin injury. He could be back in time for the opener in Charlotte. On a positive side, I heard Cowherd raving yesterday about what he saw from watching a closed Bears process a few days ago. His impressions are in line with everything I'm hearing on ESPN Chicago. The offense is looking is VERY good. Caleb lost 15 pounds and is even more mobile. More importantly, his accuracy has been great and and plays are getting ran much quicker into the playclock. Granted, it's just practice, but all reports indicated the offense looked awful throughout training camp last year.

Interesting. The site listed in Hammond is where I believe everyone presumed it would be. I'm not sure where else in Hammond would work unless they buyout existing neighborhoods. Nonetheless, I would still bet on Illinois politicians eventually giving in and hte Bears building in Arlington Heights.

The first preseason coaches poll came out. We have a couple local teams ranked or getting votes. Only RP from the WRC is currently ranked in either 1A or 2A. My prediction is that we will see Seeger and PH both in the top 10 before the season ends. Stamp it.

We’re all good. @Sparty was a good sport. Honestly didn’t mean anything hostile by it. Just my lame attempt at humor. Sometimes the intent doesn’t translate well in wording.

Man, I have to say coming off last year, Snider is too high. I do have hope that can be pretty good, but I need to see it first…

My issue with Sparty is always the same, they lack toughness year in, year out. Punch them in the mouth, they fold. It’s a culture thing there, nothing else. I have some friends with players at South Side, definitely talented, but football is won and lost on the offensive and defensive line. Period. Tell me when they have ever had a good offensive line. No holes for the skill players means nowhere to run. Too many behemoths in the SAC for South Side. When the SAC as we know it disbands, and it will soon, South Side needs to find a conference without the behemoths. Maybe the NECC…

@Komets2727 Good stuff. I think #2 through #7 is a crapshoot. I think the only guarantee is that North Side finishes in the Top 5..........way too much talent not to. Making a case for Homestead. Last season they beat Noblesville, beat Northrop, waxed Snider and North Side. Lost big to Westfield and was utterly hammered by Carroll. Looked solid in losses to Dwenger and HSE late in the season. They return enough guys at key positions to presume they'll be at least as good as they were last season. They are my bold pick at #2. But as I said, #2 through #7 could go a number of different ways...........all pretty good football teams. And don't sleep on #8.

Sparty is too high, I don’t trust this team at all. Every year they flame out. North Side is a paper tiger, I am from the show me state with them. Coaching is bad, no discipline, won’t make it out of a very tough sectional. Carroll is the class of the SAC right now until someone knocks them off. Dwenger is Dwenger, solid team. Northrop is a one year wonder with their best team in school history last year and they got very lucky to beat arguably the worst Snider team in school history in sectionals. Luers lost some key players from last year’s team and that jump to 4A is brutal. Wayne will be bad. South Side has potential I guess, but it will be another long year for them. Concordia won’t win a game in the SAC in their final year in the conference. 1. Carroll 2. Dwenger 3. Snider 4. Homestead 5. North Side 6. Luers 7. Northrop 8. South Side 9. Wayne 10. Concordia
