And we had to dress outside the gym and share a bathroom with Halloween dance goers.... once we suited up, we just stayed on the track and didn't use the school again

Finally we are getting this party started!

I am on our chain crew and in the sectional game against Memorial in 2024, an intoxicated Memorial fan got mouthy with our clip guy, I thought that was going to result in a fight, fortunately it did not. My attitude is that no one should ever notice that we are there. Don't talk except to the guy on the box and don't move until the white hat or the guy on the box says move. Do that and it will be pretty uneventful as it should be.

Carroll at South Side - Over by halftime. Nothing against the Archers, but Carroll is in a league of their own Concordia at Luers - Close game to call. Hard to imagine Luers being 0-6. But I guess that happens when two programs in your conference decide to hijack your best players. The Cadets had Northrop on the ropes last week, so don't count them out. Knights 27-20 North Side at Wayne - Mismatch in terms of talent, but North has no discipline. Gimmie the Legends by 14 Northrop at Dwenger - Talentwise, the Bruins should have this one in the bag. Dwenger is a MUCH better program. Saints 28-14 Homestead at Snider - Homestead wasted Snider 38-0 last year. Panthers close the gap. Spartans win 28-24

I did not make a snarky comment. This whole 8-man vs. 11-man situation is a mess. And it could have been avoided had the IHSAA had the cajones to implement a football co-op system.

I just recently saw a Twitter/X post regarding how it is becoming common in parts of the country for the Home team to be on the opposite side. It seemed to be at stadiums that only have stands on one side...AND the coaches wanting to get the Home team away from "parental distractions". I was shocked how many comments supported this and mentioned that they do it as well. I've never seen this in Indiana....is there anywhere that puts the home sidelines opposite the pressbox?

Week 6 in the TRC, big game in Bunker Hill with the only two unbeaten teams in the conference will square off. I will post standings later in the week. Who ya got?

Guy holding one of the stakes didn’t get out of the way, and a pileup on the sidelines resulted in the front stake hitting @Coach Nowlin in the face. Fortunately, it didn’t make him any uglier. 😂🤣 That was the night the officials had to dress in the band room. A couple of kids came in at a most inopportune time to get their instruments. I’m sure they have mental scars for life.

@Bobref watched me almost lose an eye vs Bowman academy 1st round Sectional game held at Gary Wirt on Bleachers that were condemmed and a field that was painted short I witnessed a chain gang get thrown out at North Newton about 15 years ago and NN staff had to finish the 4th quarter I watched a NN dad last year come onto our sidelines and " pump" up the Kickoff team by using words and things of " We've waited all year for this". and other opinions literally right in front of me, then stared right at me with a look of this is our year and he was very glad to be the sidelines... by the time we cored our 50th point in the 1st half he slammed down his yard marker and another coach without knowing of our pre game non verbal exchange comes over and picks it up and hands right back to him. That was fun. I also made sure to talk and coach my QB RIGHT behind the chain guy who wanted to interject himself into the game ..... my favorite was: "Hey Cohen, literally close your eyes and pick anything you want on this play sheet and its a touchdown".

my days are spent in darkness these days Carry on

The Elkhart St Joe game could go either way , I like St Joe's defense to win it for them .

@Titan76 Stories?

Did you cut them in half at the chains or at the poles? 😂

There is a crew down here that has developed a little reputation...never had an issue before , experienced a little bit of it and now I understand Has anyone ever seen the chain gang be on the HOME teams sideline?? Only once have I seen this, and that was down at Lawernceburg...I never got an official explanation for why that is/was?

Carroll at South Side...Archers had their chance to to eclipse .500 but let it slip away, Chargers can pick the score in this one. Concordia at Luers...Luers looked good in spurts last week, may be one of their last chances to pick up a win, Cadets can score a little bit though...Luers by 2 North Side at Wayne...happy to see Wayne pick up a win last week, a winless season makes building a program back even tougher, North should out talent them this week though...Legends by 20 Northrop at Dwenger...Saints have been a confusing watch for me this season, I think the Bruins athletes can cause them trouble if Northrop can stay disciplined...Dwenger by 5 Homestead at Snider...after being on their campus last Friday I left with an even stronger feeling on this. Homestead as a whole should just be better, they have everything you think you would need to be the class program of Fort Wayne but instead the last 5 years Carroll has lapped them. What needs to happen out Southwest for them to catch back up? Panthers took a beating last week, got to see if they can bounce back...Homestead by 3

My wisdom was Solomonic: the team initially designated as the home team worked the first half, and the visitors worked the 2nd half.

No. it was a snarky response to a snarky comment. Should have just stuck to "I'm happy the kids get the chance to play the sport of football."
