Congrats to the North Freshmen!  7-0 SIAC Champs.  Played the entire season without their best lineman, he has been a varsity starter since week 2.  They also endured several injuries, including a concussion to their top RB who suffered a concussion towards the end our week 5 varsity game.  Last night he returned against Central and had 2 carries for 124 yards and 2 TDs!  

This is a GREAT class, and has won their last 23 games.

I thought plastic soda bottles were recyclable?

 

Yup, they recycle them right into the pacific ocean!

I have been tempted to buy the mud and have looked for a horse hair attachment for a drill to help the buffing process.

I have wondered if the headlight buffing brushes would work.

I couldn't agree more.  They come out of the box unusable to me.  They are very slick and after they are used for any extended period of time, they are hard and slick.  We are using the same game balls as last year because of the use of the prep kit.

Do you guys clean, cream, and mud them as well?

Our guy uses the kit, but not until he goes through a three day process of removing the retail wax, coating the leather in shaving cream, and then mudding them like they are major league baseballs.  I have never seen game balls hold up the way ours have thus far.  From my vantage point, his hard work on ball prep has been totally worth it!

Sad SIAC news…

Evansville football legend Bill Krietemeyer passed away last week at age 87.

After starring at Central, Bill went on to become an All-American at Vanderbilt and was drafted by the Bears before seeing his career cut short by injuries.

RIP

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate reading this post!  I am doing what I do BOTH in the classroom and on the football field because of him. 

He was my Papaw! 

He was a larger than life character who was also an All-American high school player at Central and was then named the 1952 NCAA Freshman of the year as the QB at Vanderbilt.  He became a lifelong Bears fan because of their willingness to take a chance on him in the draft, and his injuries were actually sustained while a member of the Toronto Argonauts.  He was never able to play a professional game, but if you talk to any of the few that are left, who were able to see him play, they will tell you that he is in the conversation of the GREATEST players to ever come out of Evansville.

Below is a single play from his freshman season, but we are lucky enough to actually have this Vandy v. Florida game in its entirety in our possession!

Thank you SO much for this post!

So sad, I have known the Temples for many years.  One of the greatest families around.  Prayers to the Duttlingers and the HH football families.

My bad, didn’t mean the “either way” in a rude way. I was just stating the trend is pure supidity from videos I’ve seen

That is a fact! Pretty incredible the things that catch on in 2021!

Where did the big central RB come from last year?

Either way, it is a stupid TikTock trend 

Not either way. There are no Bosse football players involved. I work in the building, and don't think it should be something that is even posted once I not based on facts.

Memorial has none this year.

Both of your RBs walked the halls of Bosse as Sophomores.  They might not be "new" transfers, but they are transfers none the less.

I am not sure where the info has come from regarding the Bosse kids and the TikToc bathroom nonsense.  It is not the case.

I heard at the JV game last night that Castle is installing turf after this season.   Maybe it’s just hopeful conversation amongst fans.  We got a new Superintendent and supposedly he made the decision. 

Superintendent is said to be a fan.  However, do not forget that if you put in one in Warrick Co., you will have to put in three.  Not happening this year, but I have heard admins talk about sooner than later.

We are a week away from the showcase at Westfield and our numbers are right where we hoped they would be. There are still spots available, and we are excited for a great event.  We have been making lots of contacts to schools around the midwest and are excited to have some new schools that are going to be attending.  Here are the schools that have let us know that they are sending someone to recruit the event!

• UINDY
• Kentucky Weslyan
• McKendree
• Marian
• St. Francis
• Indiana Weslyan
• Taylor
• Olivet Nazarene
• Lawerence Tech
• Missouri Baptist
• Hanover
• Franklin
• Trine
• Depauw
• Anderson

34 players listed in the top 34 of the 2022 class on 247.  14 are OL, 10 and DL, and 1 is a TE.  Only eight skill players.  I would definitely say this is the year of the lineman!

I gotta be honest - I LOVE this set up for bleachers. EVERY row is between the 40's, not a single bad seat in the house!

That point is an accurate one!  However, if you were ever an opponent that had to walk through that mess.  You are not a fan.  

FYI ...  I did not play there, but my brother did, and my grandfather coached against them.  Walked those stairs to the field once.  Then bussed around to the field from the locker rooms in the school.

Here is the snake pit in Mt. Carmel, IL.  If you are an Indiana school it is full of all kinds of snakes ready to bite in lots of different ways ...

The BEST Stadium ... I am a bit biased.  However, this is a beautiful facility and a great place to watch a game on Friday night.

Reitz High School announced its 2021 football schedule yesterday and will play in what is being called the “EVSC Bubble”.

The Panthers will play the other four EVSC schools twice for a total of eight games, but will not play any of their other SIAC rivals, including Mater Dei.

“We wanted to keep the kids as safe as possible this fall while still allowing sports to be played,” according to Reitz head coach Cory Brunson. “While we’re disappointed to lose the Mater Dei game, for the safety of the kids, we felt this change should be made for at least the next five years.”

2021 Schedule
9/3 – Bosse
9/10 – @ Central
9/17 – Harrison
9/24 – @ North
10/1 – @ Bosse
10/8 – Central
10/15 – @ Harrison
10/22 – North

For more information, please visit the EVSC’s COVID-19 Resources page.

I think that you could have come up with something a bit more believable!

Can't wait to hear how this awesome opportunity turns out for all the kids.  There is so many awesome people that make that event happen.  

Unfortunately, the world is full of negative people who love to be extremely ugly toward other people.  It appears the GID was found by one of those people.  

Coach, know you have tremendous support from many people on the board here.  Keep it up.

Days ago, I chose not to even interact with that poster.  VERY refreshing.

@gonzoronand I do not see eye to eye on many things, LOL, but we both agree you are doing great work here.  

Thank you so much! Yoursupport is greatly appreciated!

You seem to have some fascination with yourself and me you looking you up.....are you really that stupid?  If I am scratching out 60-110 for my kid to attend your show why would I not look you up?  I want to know who is providing instruction to my kid?  what are your qualifications?  Tom Allen, Brohm, U Indy etc.....we get that....bro you are scrub....sorry to say that its fact.....if you can make a few bucks on the side go for it we all have bills to pay.  Personally my family situation your crap show is not needed because the direct communication with college colleges has been happening for a while.....I just can't resist f$&@*** with you.

We have great positiin coaches from programs all over the state of Indiana. Guys who have played at Purdue, UIndy, Marian, St. Francis, etc. We are not providing instruction.  Our coaches are facilitating drills which will allow the athletes to move and compete for the college coaches that are on the field in attendance. There are opportunities for critique, but that is not the purpose of the event. It is about getting reps. It is a showcase, not a camp. If your kids do not need to attend events like this, that is great. Fantastic for them. Thanks again for not caring so much that you have helped to keep this advertisement at the top of the list.

so is it 21 or 10?  your words not mine?

Mr. BigBH,

Our December showcase was attended by the following schools.  

• UIndy
• Marian
• St. Francis
• Olivet Nazerene
• Lawerence Tech
• North Central College
• Olivet (Michigan)
• Trine
• Anderson
• Depauw
• Franklin
• Hanover
• Manchester
• North Park University

At previous showcases we have also had these other schools attend

• Mount Union
• Mt. St. Joseph
• Kentucky Christian
• Indiana Wesleyan
• Kentucky Wesleyan
• Lindsey Wilson
• Millikan
• Hocking College
• Union College, KY

Our May event is going to be smaller than the showcase that was held in December.  More like 100 players rather than 300.  If there is a nearly equal or even potentially larger turnout of colleges that are in attendance, that means much more opportunity to be seen.  

I have no problem if you do not like the showcase system.  It might not be for you.  But it does work for some kids and all we are doing, as I have said before, is providing an opportunity.  Not one athlete has ever been forced to attend.  

I will post the names of the schools that I have gotten confirmation from for the INDY spring showcase on May 1st.  

By the way, My name is Eric Schnur.  I put it in my tag so that people know who I am.  My record is 9-43, but for me it is just a reminder that things don't always turn out the way you intended.  It is motivation to be better today and in the future.  It does not define me, my last name does.  I took a job that NO ONE else wanted, and I did it at a time when I was not fully prepared for what came along with it.  I poured my heart into that job, and resigned when I felt I was out of potntial answers for the questons that were popping up.  You said you, don't give a damn about me," but you are the one that looked me up.  When I say college coaches are on sight, I mean that. We have never hosted a showcase that did not have at least ten.  We have had as many as 21 at a single event.  You should talk to some college coaches about who they recruit and when they start looking at them.  I think that you might find your perception to be a bit off.

Thank you,

Coach Schnur

What colleges will be attending this year?

 

It is to early to put a list together, with all of them playing currently.  I have been corresponding via email regularly, and will begin making phone calls to each school starting the Monday we come back from Spring Break.  I will post a list in this thread of all the schools that have confirmed on May 1st.  This is shaping up to be a smaller event, our numbers look to be in the 100-125 range for total attendance.

Oh and another thing....I didn't say showcases are a waste of time... I said my man is peddling "college recruiters on-site"...that is speculation and basically a bullshit sales job to get kids to attend.  Maybe 9-43 will actually list those college coaches that have confirmed, and will attend just like U Indy mega camp did that he referenced above?

I am sorry that you believe that I have done something wrong.  I contact EVERY college at the FCS level and below in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky multiple times.  I apologize to no one for my record as a head coach, it is the result of mistakes I made plus circumstances that I was not prepared to deal with at that point in my career.  I have not only had kids that played on my teams come to the camps, I have driven players around the mid-west to events like the U-Indy Mega camp, Lindenwood Mega camp, Best of the Midwest, as well as indy showcase events at both Indiana and Purdue to hopefully help to get them opportunities to play in college.  Every year of my tenure at Bosse, we had at least one player get an opportunity to leave Evansville and move on to play football in college.  So throw your shade, it is fine, my record is what it is.  We have had at least ten colleges represented at every one of our events over the last few years.  I am peddling nothing but facts.  Thank you for researching me, I find it flattering that you care about me so much.  I do not have to defend myself, and will not be responding again.  We run an event that is designed to help those who want to be helped.  It costs money to run and my time is worth something as well.  No one has ever been forced to attend one of these events.

My guess is you know nothing about the dynamics of where coach has worked or the kid's lives he has changed.  This comment was a total D!ck move.  Congrats.  So you think exposure events are a waste of time, that's fair, but the comment above was clearly intended to throw unnecessary shade at a good dude.

Thank you coach!  I appreciate your support and knowing that there are good folks out here fighting to get their kids every chance possible to be successful later in life!

60 is too high also....a parent can spend 75.00 attending three on campus camps and actually meet college coaches...its a money grab which more power to you...its business.  Unless a frosh/soph is a freak at your "showcase" they get nothing from it.  Upperclassmen are already plugged from game tape. 
 

Have you had a bad experience with one of these camps?  I would love to have you come watch ours this spring.  We are selling an opportunity.  What the kids do with the opportunity is up to them, their preparation, and somewhat the gifts that they were born with.  We will have several college staffs in attendance, watching the players.  The best of these players will get noticed because of their play. The others have the opportunity to speak with as many of the coaches as they can.  Try to start a relationship. 

Your game tape argument is not perfect.  Lots of kids get opportunities based on game tape that is seen AFTER they were seen at one of these events.  Freshmen and sophomores come and have an opportunity to get on the radar early, but probably benefit the most from seeing what the competition looks like.  They get a chance to see how high the bar is set.  That is a potentially immeasurable part of these types of events.  

You said a parent can spend $75 and attend three on campus camps, and that may be true, VERY unlikely, but I will play along.  At each of these camps, nearly all of which happen on FCS/FBS campuses (some D-II), they get to meet one college staff.  The parent also has to pay for the trip to each of these camps, so the $ amount is 4-5 times that in the end.  If the kid is D-1 material than great.  However, for our most expensive rate $110 + one time travel expenses, the same kid gets to do the same things in front of coaches from multiple college staffs.  We have had as many as 21 schools represented at our events.  

I get it, you do not like them.  They are not for everyone, but there are thousands of football players in the state of Indiana alone.  These events are just one way for those players to try and separate from the pack and earn an opportunity.
