No...I said actually playing the game gives one additional insights vs those who haven't. Nothing said about being "smarter"...those are your words. That can pretty much be said about anything in life...those who have done have much more of a practical vs a theoritical view. I wasn't providing that perspective to "folks"....I provided that perspective to you, and you alone. And only you repeatedly when you kept bringing it back up like a broken record. You really took that to heart, didn't you?? Causing you some pain. As I said before, "let it go"......you're going to be just fine.

that has to be one of, if not the easiest sectionals in the state. Warren will win the title playing Perry and Southport.

Never said ALL of your takes are bad. I think you do some good stuff on the HS forum. I do hope you keep your polling/ranking work up. But man, you can go to extremes on GID. Dude, your ego needs stroked.....I suggest seeking that elsewhere.

I bet Coach and I are doing just fine. Thanks for your concern. I hope you can get over your unhealthy obsessions and let it go. Bad takes...they won't stop coming from you I am afraid.

It would seem he is doing pretty darn well. Perhaps a combination of development, good mentorship around him on the team, new coaching staff, overall maturity that occurs quickly at his age for most. Hope he continues his development.

I feel ya Coach....and I appreciate the passion. Just want to restate, I want Loveland to succeed....nothing absolutely negative intended. While a Colts fan, grew up watching the Bears. Want them to do well...glad they are improving and its obvious. I have commented about this recently. Fair enough on your comments about Warren. Its a long season and its just the halfway point.

if I held your views credible, the criticism may have an impact....but I think I have been extremely clear in how I hold your views.... The NCAA's release was August 2025.....not 2 years ago. But I understand how you want it to go away.

I can see you are still carrying this....good. Because I will certainly always hold Coach's views above yours when it comes to this game. His football resume blows yours (and mine) out of the water. Park your ego dude....you are a fan of the game with no experience....you'll be just fine.

You get very defensive, very quickly when it comes to your Bears Coach. My point its was ONE game....against an opponent that is ranked among the bottom when it comes to both total and passing defense. That is not diminishing anyone...just simplying pointing out facts. As i will say for the 3rd time, let's see how it all washes out at the end of the season. Glad Loveland had a good game. I have nothing against the young man. BUT WILL SAY IT AGAIN, GLAD THE BEARS PASSED ON WARREN. Sorry, but not sorry if that is upsetting to you.

Coach....I don't coach....but it looks like he is grading out ok. Don't have the time to spend tons of time on it, but it I trust Google AI, would seem he's ok in that phase of the game Tyler Warren's blocking grades are viewed as improved but a weakness compared to his receiving skills. While a college-level grade for blocking was around 58%, his professional NFL grades show significant improvement, with some analyses placing his run-blocking grade over 70 and pass-blocking around 78%. He is seen as a do-it-all tight end who is versatile enough to block effectively in run plays and be a threat in passing plays, making him a valuable asset to the Colts' offense. College vs. NFL blocking grades College: A scouting report for the NFL Draft gave Tyler Warren a blocking grade of 58%. Professional: Since entering the NFL, his blocking grades have shown a marked improvement. Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades are among the best for rookies, with a run-blocking grade of 72.7 and pass-blocking grade of 78.3 in the first few weeks of the 2025 season. He has been ranked as a top-5 tight end in PFF blocking grades.

Pat Fitzgerald's name cleared in settlement....wonder where he will eventually land. Thought the comment from Northwestern was interesting, as they certainly didn't hesitant throwing him under the bus and terminating him. My guess is that he received a very nice check in this settlement. Deservingly so. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46868954/pat-fitzgerald-vindicated-settlement-seeking-next-job Northwestern fired Fitzgerald amid allegations of hazing in the football program, and Fitzgerald subsequently sued the school for $130 million for wrongful termination. The lawsuit was settled in August, with the terms not disclosed. After the settlement, Northwestern released a statement that noted "inappropriate conduct in the football program did occur." It added: "The evidence uncovered during extensive discovery did not establish that any player reported hazing to Coach Fitzgerald or that Coach Fitzgerald condoned or directed any hazing." The school went on to compliment Fitzgerald's combined 26 years there as a player and coach and "wishes Coach Fitzgerald the best in resuming his football career." There have been significant university changes since the settlement was announced. The most prominent was the resignation of president Michael Schill, who fired Fitzgerald, two weeks after the settlement. Fitzgerald said there are specifics about the settlement that he is not allowed to speak on. But he said, generally: "I feel 100 percent vindicated. You alluded to the statement earlier. I'll let that speak for itself. ... I feel very vindicated. Especially for our players and their families. The facts are the facts."

Glad to hear that Coach....I sure hope Book remains with the Bears. But I also understand getting the sure thing as well.

Not sure degree of accuracy.

LOL...that's fair

Huge amount to give up.....I am not sure about this one. AD Mitchell sent to purgatory. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46847491/sources-jets-trade-sauce-gardner-colts-2-first-rounders

I never said Warren was "moons" ahead of Loveland...simply glad that the Bears passed on Warren. Loveland had a breakout game against the worst ranked defense in the league when it comes to giving up points and 2nd worst for pass defense. Not 20th....31st and 32nd. And you crow about Loveland's game while throwing Warren under the bus?? As I stated earlier, we shall see where the both stand at the end of the season.

Agree Coach...I remember thinking what if Tom Brady and David Carr had reversed teams. Remember Carr being the first round bust for the expansion Houston Texans. That poor guy was pummeled on a horrible team as he was thrown to the wolves. What if Brady was that guy?? Would history be much different?

I think it depends of the points margin for the loss. If the game comes down to the wire, I still think both teams could end up in the top 4. If its a sizeable loss, then the other team drops. (assuming both teams are undefeated going in)

No...I reminded you that you lacked experience playing the game, so that lack of experience plays into some of your posts. But nice spin attempt. Bottom line, since you didn't play the game, its all theorical for you. The press release states the impact of cheating. You wish to downplay it since its "your team". Had Ohio State been caught cheating doing the same, you would have been all over it and we all know it. Had there been zero advantage, Stalions wouldn't have been doing it. Absolute belief that the investment in breaking the rules yielded a benefit. The Michigan team last year and this year is nothing like the run under Harbaugh's final season. That is fact.

Congratulations Coach...Loveland had a good game against the team ranked dead last in the NFL for points per game, and next to last for passing yards given up per game. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-passing-yards-per-game Still glad the Bears passed on Warren....big time.

I can assume the college president approved the hire...as well as the Board of Trustees. I do find it interesting that a governor passes right by the Board. Typically, at a state institution, they are appointed by the governor and/or someone in the state legislature and own fiduciary responsibility. In the case of LA, I can only assume the governor felt like he needed to help them.

The NCAA press release I have provided you more than once covers the impact. Shame you won't take a couple of minutes to read it because facts are irrelevant to you when it comes to Michigan. WalMart Wolverine.....
