    I believe the issue is the university hosting the event versus renting the venue to another group to use. If that's correct NIU couldn't organize an event for HS teams to play at their stadium, but a conference or state association can contract to host an event there. There may also be rules against coaches or athletic staff being there during the event. It's still a win for the school though because student athletes are on their campus.

    They use NIU when Illinois hosts Northwestern in their rivalry game. They dont have access to Memorial Stadium because Illinois is at home that weekend. So it goes back and forth.

    Exactly. You’re not going to find 24 neutral site schools to offer hosting the regional. Coordinating a Friday night home game is already a pain in the neck for most athletic directors. Doubtful that schools would line up to host a regional or semi-state for less money. You probably need at least 20 support staff to host such game. Even less incentive for your normal regular season workers to come back for a game where your school is not playing and they would likely be paid less money from the state. 

    Hosting a basketball sectional/regional/semi-state is much more doable — and there is a historical source of pride in your gym hosting the state tournament. No such feeling for football. 

    State pays a stipend to everyone working the game regardless. Even the chain gang get a chunk! Concessions would get a boost. It can be predetermined before the tournament just like every other sport.

    Lcc's jv only lost one game. They return barrett, that incoming sophomore that got some pt in tourney at RB.. Smith? Two offensive lineman, and a buche to name a few. 

    Don't forget their new Defensive Coordinator.

    I notice you list your school affiliation as Lewis Cass. How can you live with yourself? Their nickname is the Kings. Escaping from monarchical rule is the principle on which this country was founded. It is the opposite of what this country stands for. It’s also blatantly sexist, implicitly approving a male-dominated government structure, and elitist. The use of “Kings” offends me ... and all right-thinking people. Shameful.

    This is interesting. What do they call the female teams at Lewis Cass? Is it the Lady Kings? or do they go with Queens?

    Tipton is supposed to have a real good team coming back, played a lot of young guys. 

    Western will be in the mix.   

    Cass was decimated by graduation, though having Coach Mannering and HOF Mannering on sidelines will help a young team for sure. 

    Do not know much about HH, I think they had a lot of skill position injuries.  

    WL will be breaking a new QB this year after a run of real good ones, I am sure Coach Fry will have his new guy ready to run the show.   

    LCC will be playing with a lot of confidence, new DC, 3rd year of Nay, definitely has his stamp on the program already.   

    I like our guys, our #1 RB in 2019 was gone for the year with a odd non contact ACL Wednesday night before KV week 1, he was just a sophomore, I know he is hungry to be on the field in 2020 that is for sure.   Our QB got some nice work last year replacing Hickman weeks 7-8-9 leading the team to wins over NW, BC and TIpton.   He will be a JR and has nice frame.   Return All State OL Korniak, at LT, and host of other players as well.  1000 yard RB/WB comes back,.  a lot to like, looking forward to working with them July 1st.  

    TL:  New coach, Coach Saylers coming over from Carroll, known Shotgun attack while there, I am sure he will craft his offense to fit his players skills, TL has nice young class coming up.  

     

    May be the new X-Factor here. I know @Ultimate Warrior knows him well. Should be a fun year in the old pick 'em. I almost want to get the week 1 picks up now! But, until confirmed it would just take up space.

    In high school football, the game clock does not start until the ball is next snapped or free kicked following an accepted delay of game penalty. No exceptions.

    Either not true, or many refs have messed this up. I have taken many a delay of games in a running clock scenario in 2 states for this very reason.

    Seeding the sectionals is one thing. That's a little easier than trying to rank all football playing schools 1-317 and then divide it up based on that. I typically don't put much trust in the sags. They're a nice discussion topic but don't do much for predictions in the tournament.

    If 8 coaches can sit in a room and rank multiple wrestling weight classes in 1 night. Then 8 coaches can sit in a room and rank a Sectional in an hour. 

    You dont need Sagarin, or anything like that.
