People (like me) watch games who wouldnt or cant go to them. I watch games from places outside my area. Games I would not attend. I dont have the money I had before 2020 so obviously, I cant pay for them.. I appreciate school athletic departments needing money and broadcasts cant be done for free. But when you limit the number of people who can watch (which pay per view does) , you are also hurting the clients you do sell advertising too and limiting the exposure your athletes get. A solution?: Broadcast for free and make the broadcast a telethon for the media outlet and the host school's athletic department. People who are able probably would donate.. You would get max viewers and still rake in needed cash.

4A No. 1 Hobart!

Is she 6A or did she earn enough points to be bumped up by the 'success factor"??

That's what I'm seeing RocketMan..........12:30 Saturday... (But that could also change)

I would love to see that game. David vs. Goliath. One night only!

Good news. In the last couple of years, I've gotten used to coming home after 'my game' and watching far away places and far away faces.

Guys. Free or pay per view?

Long time since 4A Hobart had a first place vote. Looking to honor one of the original 'gangsters', an icon. A legend.

Gipper told me where to go (not the first time I've been told where to go) NwiTimes says (8-18-20) Griffith has cancelled week two with Valparaiso ...but will begin the season with Hobart on 9-4-20

Is Highland cancelling or is Griffith. Do you know? Highland plays Crown Point in week two. Griffith plays Valparaiso in week 2 and Lowell in week four. Just curious.

Sorry, B. I totally missed it.. Had no clue. Didn't see your slyness in the written word.. Sorry.

Oh, Lord no. Please dont make this argument, B. Early steel mills (before unions) may have been oppressive. But they were nothing like slavery. Slaves were never paid and they were captives.. They were beaten, castrated, mutilated and hung. Slave women were raped on call. Children were beaten if they tried to learn. Early mills and wage-sucking 'company stores' were severly unfair but all industry exploits the working class to some extent.....//I think Steelers is a proud but flawed heritage..We can argue that. But slaves were human farm animals. I dont like it when (and I know you are not doing this) minority college athletes compare themselves to modern day slaves.. It indicates they know little about slavery.

I'm like 007. I need to find a place to buy the Digest with dollars. The credit card folks dont love me like they used to. I'm strictly a cash money boy for the forseeable future. I need to deal in dollars and cents.... As many have in the past, tell me where to go.🏈

I know what you mean but Penn at Elkhart, first meeting ever, is prime time.

Calm down. Its just a scrimmage. Its not 'fine' to play a week later but that decision has been made. If we want to play on the 21st, dont risk it on the 14th. Not a big deal.

Agreed, all scrimmages should be cancelled. In the best of years, they just let everyone get on the field against unfamiliar faces.. This year, they could put your guys in quarantine.

The virus is a little more real up here.....its not just something everybody watches on TV.

Lowell at Whiting is a not a bad idea, Gip.... That's an old school matchup.

Kids will do that. Challenge them to do something different. Pass out seat cushions for kids to put between each other. Make every night costume night Have them dress up is astronaut space suits...or as AquaMan......or in full body hot dog outfits...so they're covered up and cant spread the virus... Schedule the older boys and girls to have a 'Divorce Night' ...... where you sit as far away from your girlfriend as possible.... (too much?)

Right, P-fan You cant have student sections..........They have to spread out .......if they want to come to the game.

I hear you about the 1%.........but I dont want a shutdown. Then everybody loses I agree with you about the IHSAA. They do not hint that spring football is something they've ever thought about.. I want to be at Crown Point-Lowell on Aug. 21 (the traditional south Lake County opener up here....goes back 100 years) but schools are postponing, delaying and cancelling up here.. Its discouraging.

again..move it to the spring and nobody gets anything taken....That's common sense.... 100% play instead of 75% 2 choices.....everybody or 3/4 of everybody

I'm sad. Morton had an outstanding quarterback.. He is a senior. Clark and Gavit (Hammond schools) are consolidating....in the summer of 2021 This is end of their school......and they cant play one last year. Clark has played football since before WWII....and they cant play one final game? One Last Dance?
