My guess is the total football attendance is about the same. I would disagree. The old big 8 schools typically didn't travel well to Jasper (VL included) unless their teams were good, which for that last 20 years was few and far between for most of them. If I had to choose the current schedule or the old schedule, I choose the current schedule.

We miss this game on our schedule. Terribly miss it. This is historically one of our best rivalries (SR would be the next) as we were 11-10 against them....so at least we can always say that we got a game on them. Not to mention that not one Jasper coach has a winning record against HH. Love that one! I laughed too hard at this....because it's true. By the way, not everyone enjoys that schedule.

They also picked up MD by moving to SIAC, so the "new" good gates would be MD, Castle and Reitz (but I honestly don't know how well Reitz fans travel to Jasper). No question Bosse, Harrison and Central would be much less gate than Wash, BV & Mt. V. Bosse did have some decent crowds last year being that they were competitive. Coincidently, Kyle Sokeland has an article on the 5th anniversary of the SIAC expansion in today's Courier. https://www.courierpress.com/story/sports/high-school/2024/05/21/a-look-at-sw-indiana-athletics-five-years-after-conference-realignment/73726204007/

In the old PAC schedule, you only had room for 2 non-conferences games. I believe there was a stretch there (maybe 4 years?) when SR had Eville Central on the schedule...was one of their (Central's) best 4 year stretches in school history as luck would have it for us lol. And then obviously our other "non conference" game was filled with county rival Jasper. I know HH routinely played Jasper as well (although there was a time when they took a break from each other) ....so that only left 1 non-conference game. I don't recall who they filled that with...but don't remember it being any Eville schools .

Mastodons are supposed to be extinct. It’s nature’s way.

That’s because you like what he says. It doesn’t matter who is saying it.

I wasn’t alive but did we have a fair and honest, balanced media when Jefferson was around? The way the actions of these two buffoons who we have to choose between in November are covered by the mainstream media could not be more different. One is Hitler, no matter what decision he makes or what he says, and the other is a poor old man whom we should feel sorry for.

I think it was Jefferson who said: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”
