I also hope for Lincoln to be moved to 32. Memorial is where it belongs for sectionals so at least an opportunity for a regular season matchup would have been nice for GS to take the 4-3 lead in the Hurley Hart era. I almost called that the HH era, but didn't want to get the boys from Spencer County excited LOL.

With all due respect, it’s not the SIAC schedule preventing a GS-EM matchup. You can thank the success factor for that. With Bosse moving up, I hope Lincoln gets moved into 32. Sectionals will only give Boonville, Lincoln, and Mater Dei a chance for some fresh matchups each year.

We see this differently....as the say goes, "you show me a person's friends, and I will show them their future"......but at the end of the day, I agree with their motive...its always about following the dollars, regardless of the impact. I agree players gambling impacts integrity of the game. Have no issue with punishment...I am just saying how can people not predict that the probability of gambling increases, when its made to be much easier to do? https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-09-10/nfl-draftkings-lucrative-partnership-blurs-lines-between-sports-gambling All of this brings seductive — sometimes addictive — betting much closer to kids, teens and older students while making gambling a more explicit centerpiece of sports. Young men are particularly vulnerable. As I’ve noted before, there possibly will be social fallout, and a bigger incentive for corruption, tied to these shifts. Regulation, meanwhile, will likely be scant and left to individual states. "We've been very open about our position that we oppose legalized sports gambling,” Roger Goodell, the NFL’s commissioner, observed back in 2015. “We haven't changed our position on that, and I don't anticipate us changing that going forward at all. We think the integrity of the game is the most important thing.” What changed? An opportunity for the NFL to feast on fresh revenue streams emerged. The league said it expects to pull in $270 million this year from new gambling deals and as much as $1 billion by the end of this decade. Sports betting companies, freed by a 2018 Supreme Court ruling to operate in states other than Nevada, and given a huge boost by shut-ins looking for fun during the Covid-19 lockdown, have even bigger piles of money awaiting them. A Goldman Sachs Group Inc. analyst recently estimated that the online sports betting market could grow to about $39 billion by 2033, up from about $900 million currently. Goldman, which the NFL also retained to find partners that can help it expand the reach of its media properties, thinks that cord-cutting and streaming have made it hard for sports leagues to attract younger fans. Lo and behold, sports betting skews much younger than traditional casino gambling — and thus offers leagues a way to reel in loyalists younger than 40.

Someone had to

About the time Memorial gets back to 3A (if it ever happens)....GS will be getting dang close to 4A, oh the irony of it all LOL. I still think the SIAC having 1 non-conference game would be a change that if you surveyed all the coaches in the conference, it would win the vote easily.

Bottom line, if they felt Love (a former 1st round draft pick was ready after 2 years of watching) they would have made the move. They obviously believe that he isn't ready and so they re-upped a great player, that is near the end of his career for a large sum of money and 4 years. Keeping a first round pick on the bench for multiple years isn't desired. Favre wasn't MVP, but he threw for almost 4200 yds and 28 TD's in his final year for the Pack. Bottom line, they felt Rodgers (1st round pick) was ready and made the move. Guessing one too many wine coolers last evening....

SIAC has a strong in-conference schedule, I was just giving a friendly jab about being locked in. But it does give the rest of the state something to argue about with the Sagarin numbers! lol Personally, I am ready for the next GS-Memorial matchup... been far too long! I think both teams look forward to that clash.

What are you even talking about? He isn't comparing the 2. Try and keep up.

Not a surprise. Now the SIAC ADs need to get together and create 2 divisions to free up Wks. 1-2 for non-conference games.

myself and a handful of the boys in class had it on , on our phones last 2 min I told them we have to turn it off as class started because it would be good karma ! It worked but then my principal walks in a couple min later and said "You weren't watching it !?!?" well now the policy haha
