It is with great sadness I let all know who remember Rex Tuttle from his many posts and information particularly on the Linton Football Program. King Tut was his handle, and he was born in 1931, and had an incredible memory that provided many stories from years well gone from most minds today. Rex graduated Linton in 1949, and while he didn't play football, he was in band, and the band travelled to most games. He could recollect so many iconic Linton games, good and bad, with such clear vision. I'd interviewed him a few times in my Linton radio broadcasts, in particular the Sullivan rivalry because he was really the source in so many ways. With Rader Media, Kevin had done an video stream session with him that was timeless. I begged him to get a cassette recorder and just record his memories for posterity and history sake. So many others said the same thing. I saved a lot of things he posted from his time here just because there would never be another source for such things. He had to stop going to games in person bein well in his 90's but he always checked in online in our broadcasts. He always posted about Linton sports on his Facebook page, honestly right up to Linton's loss in basketball semi-state in Late March of this year. He even posted videos of himself playing his beloved trumpet, and could still do it well. I hadn't seen Rex in person in a while, but still regarded him as a friend and of course a die-hard loyal Linton Miner fan of every sport. We lost such a great mind, and a great person. I will miss his insight and comments during the seasons...particularly football.

It's a start. It's criminal what they have been doing for the last decade and change. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-industry-news/live-nation-trial-verdict-1236561243/

7 Total Draft Picks: 4 in the top 89 Picks: Seems like an Odd draft from the chatter around the talking yappers....... Not QB heavy, lots are talking how DEEP the 2027 draft is supposed to be, especially at the QB position. I still believe more is better, I would stay put or if you get a 1 in 2027 and 3-5 next year from a needy team, then I think you jump at that. I don't think you should trade up on this draft because the guys worth coming up from 25 to get will cost you a pretty penny, still need more players. I don't even want to trade up 3-5 spots to give up a 2 or 4 .. PASS Also, I am a very vocal AUSTIN BOOKER TRUTHER, I know @Bash Riprock concurs !! 🙂 That's why I don't think they go Edge in round 1 because of how deep it supposedly this draft is in that position. I do think POLES and JOHNSON will continue to keep the Board their Board and will take top pick on their board, as seen and thankfully done with drafting Loveland and Luther and Turner . ( remember Turner VERY talented player, high draft pick very UNLUCKY year 1). MY GUY: Dream Choice: Dillon Thielmann falls to Bears at 25, however, SAFTEY needy teams may start to think about leaping over the Bears for him, team like Chargers trade back. If he is there at 20, I think Cowboys snag him with 2nd of their 1st rounders. Team like 49ers and John Lynch could be aggressive players and jump up for him too. Harrison Smith is LONG IN THE TOOTH, perhaps Vikes at 18 take Westfield Grad !! Either way, he is going Round 1, another great Brohm Recruit Most Realistic Pool of Players available to Take: My Big Board for Bears 1. Kayden McDonald DT Ohio State. NASTY PLUGGER 2. Kionte Scott S. Miami (I like him over kid from Toledo, Miami D was nasty and competition level ) 3. Monroe Freeling OT Georgia (unless he has a poor driving record ). 4. Peter Woods DT Clemson Second Round Thoughts: 2 picks late: If Ponds is there, you jump on that at 59. I believe they will use one of those 2nd round picks for their Center in 2027. (guy they traded for is in contract year) I think their 1st 3 picks will be: DT, DB, C : That DB could be a Hybrd dude like Scott or Ponds or even an All American from Toledo. Would it surprise me if Poles picks an EDGE, nope, especially if that Edge player is high on their board ratings. That's my first attempt after I had some time last few days to dig in and read up on things. Very interesting tidbit about pick 25..... Its been traded 8 out of the last 9 drafts and one draft twice !!!

I hope they draft DT (S) from Oregon and Purdue

Cigar Bowl for me The lone appearance of Valpo U They took on....... wait for it..... Lacrosse State Teachers College ........

Bloomington folks say they should know this week whether they get in the HHC. Spring HHC meeting this week sometime. Not sure the timeline if they were admitted.

There are 6A programs who have said no. They don't want to be embarrassed by losing to a "small school." Thankfully, Westfield and Center Grove have not been among them ... each has played a home-and-home with New Pal, which kinda blows holes in the "New Pal doesn't play anybody" theory. (Every non-conference opponent NP has scheduled in the Kyle Ralph era has played on Thanksgiving weekend in the last decade).

No, but New Pal streams all of its home games on IHSAAtv.

Every coach I've taught with reads the forum. 🙂
