Tom Brady has the same number of NFC championships now as Drew Brees Aaron Rodgers Rex Grossman Just saying.

You can never trust a drafted BEARS player at Safety..... See Chris Conte.....but that went your way

Yep. Adams’ motion was much better today too. 😉 @Bobref And Bob. Before you write me a 17 page argument. It’s a joke. 😊 Great game w what looks to be a great finish coming up.

The Colts have $65 million heading into free agency.

The championship mentality you site is interesting. I know you know that a state title is a lot more realisitic goal in 4A than it is in 6A But you suggest that teams that dont win state dont really want to, are athletically inferior or are mentally weak.. I dont know. I think multiple sectionals (Lowell won 5 in a row a few years back) is more important to a program than one state run...more boys got that trophy...more kids watch the winning. The question still stands. Would you trade one state title run for 5 consecutive sectionals. Those two photos (above) are from different years but you are right, Lowell has won their fair share of games from CP. That's why its a great matchup. It doesnt mean CP is bad. It means Lowell is good. A rivalry. If you were there, you'd be painting your face, wearing those overalls and shucking that corn.....you know you would.

Tell 'em Vito Lowell-CP is always going to be played. Warm summer night....week one.. And you are so right. The CP kids painted freckles on their faces, wore overalls and kerchiefs and carried ears of corn to the game......To make fun of Lowell as if there's no farms at the south end of Crown Point ! So funny. I guess the school board got a complaint a couple of years ago and they asked the kids to stop it. But CP-Lowell...for the 'Old Leather Helmet'....you dont mess with that game.

You know, everyone talks about the expense involved in traveling distances for away games. But has anyone attempted to quantify that additional expense? I have a good friend who has worked for many years for a company that provides transportation services to the Chicago Public Schools. I asked him what the marginal increased cost would be to take a school bus full of players on a 150 mi. rd. trip vs. a 40 mi. rd. trip. The answer is it costs about $125 more for the longer trip, almost all of which is accounted for by the increased cost of the driver. So, when you’re talking about expense being a barrier to some realignments or scheduling issues, now you have a number to put on it. Question: If, for example, Penn were to move to the Duneland, how many DAC fans would they have to draw to a game at Penn to make up the increased travel costs, compared to the kind of gate they get from the visitors when they play one of the South Bend schools?
