Jealousy that we have a fan base like we do. Alcohol is prohibited at EVSC property (as with any other school), so anyone allegedly consuming an adult beverage would have been in violation. I seldom tailgate anymore, but I can tell you the parking lot at Enlow is always cleaner after our games end and the tailgaters leave than it is when we arrive.

I wouldn't be all that intimidated by a 10 point win over Owensboro. If I had known that I would've picked HH in the 812 Pigskin Pick-em' this week.

Us old-timers still call our youngling teams 7th grade Cub and 8th grade Cub.

Start time for our Cub games tomorrow got moved back 1 hour.

My sources tell me it was less VL complaining than the desire of the EVSC to eliminate fans tailgating. Otherwise, why not just adjust the start times for the VL and Jasper games? I know several schools were firmly against moving all games to 6:30.

Yes, it's a completely unrealistic proposition for football. I cannot imagine anything worse than watch two schools play a semi-state in front of 3,000 fans in a stadium that can hold 60,000. Agreed. The IHSAA gets all the gate after the first 200 tickets are sold from Regional and Semi-State. They aren't going to change that any time soon.

I think it would be a big challenge to get boosters to work gates, concessions, etc. in late November if their school wasn't participating. Those universities also have games in November. Concession revenue for Purdue or IU from a couple thousand people is not going to move the needle enough to make the venture worthwhile. The IHSAA adding the additional costs to the ticket price would drive down attendance even more than having two schools drive to a neutral site. The reason Lucas Oil works is because the Colts cover the costs of the facility.

Who will provide workers at the site? The universities?

No love lost for Central in my camp for several reasons - some old, some new... I suspect there is less willingness to adjust start times when dealing with 7th & 8th graders.

Well, I guess I was wrong about the impact of the heat this week. Our JV played at Jasper last night and coach said he thinks the game at North will be played at the regular time Friday...

I can only speak for myself, but as the defending 3A representative from the South, I would give Heritage Hills the nod as the team to beat. As Titan32 says, they have a lot returning. They beat Southridge (always a tough opponent) in a similar fashion as we beat Jasper. Because none of the SIAC schools play any non-conference opponents, all we can do is wait until October & November to see how things shake out. A lot can happen over the next 8 weeks...

Like a crack in the sidewalk... I'll predict it won't be more than 1 in the regular season

I agree. Good for them to start the year off on the right foot.

I have not heard anything yet, but with the oppressive heat forecasted for this week, I suspect we might see JV, frosh and MS games get canceled and the start times for Friday pushed back. Ironically, the exact same thing happened last year in Wk. 2.

Big week for the underdog in my book... How in the world is Bosse -45? Give me Central with the points. Harrison and the points. MD and the points. The lone exception is Reitz -3. Memorial ML. I like the parlay

Reitz #discipline just doesn't seem to trend

Pretty much as expected, right? Except maybe Memorial taking Jasper to the woodshed and Harrison scoring 27?

Ev. Memorial 37-6 over Jasper. JCats backups scored on Memorial backups in final minute or so under running clock.

From the looks of it, it is illegal in Dubois Co. Beautiful stadium.

So were we.

Dang, 6 of the 8 eight schools in Sectional 32 received votes. Can we call it SODS (Sectional of Death - South)?

Hate that for him. He sounded like a top-notch kid on the radio.

I heard a player on the WREF North Coach's Show the other day who was discussing being out for the season, but I missed the first part so I missed who it was. For those who can't make the game in Jasper, Indiana SRN will once again be streaming all memorial games this season.

Memorial @ Jasper - Memorial 24-22. Going with my heart. This always such a tough Wk. 1 match-up for us. Castle @ North - Castle 28-13. I think Castle will win with McCool. Lincoln @ Bosse - Lincoln 13-0. Wagner did it all last year. Is there anyone who can fill that chasm for Bosse? Mater Dei @ Central - MD 27-8. Central will be improved, but I expect MD will be ready after what was reported as a rough scrimmage with Reitz. Harrison @ Reitz - Reitz 49 - 0. Running clock.

I think those are the same as the end of last year.
