I doubt either school will ever be in a financial position to put in enough bleachers to be able to host varsity games on their own campuses. MD has more space, but might have to sacrifice a large chunk of the baseball outfield and some parking lot. Memorial could not do it without moving the entire field west. . If EVSC ever denied use of their facilities to the two schools, then the answer might be for both to join together to build a place.

I saw a reply to that tweet questioning whether the roof was coming down, but Tommy said he hadn't heard that. I sure hope the roof stays.

They ought to rename it "Petri Dish Safari" for the 2020 season....

These are pretty good...

I'm not tuned into the baseball scene... Does HS baseball practice in summer? Or are you both talking about travel baseball?

But maybe more reasonable expectations and less inherent challenges at Tecumseh than at North?

Weird..

Fly down from Indy to Ft. Myers ($208 round trip) and head over to Sanibel Island.

Might be less-crowded than normal.

Definitely. I forgot Linton was in Sectional 40 now. Makes it even worse for the Rebels.

I kinda wondered the same thing. Haven’t really ever done much and getting through Sectional 40 with Mater Dei and (usually) Southridge is always going to be a challenge.

It certainly is.

Here's one from Nov 2018 when we played Chatard in Semi-State.

Thought you might be starting a new program...

Have never really understood the allure of the Snake Pit.... BTW, Evansville Day?

I'm partial to Enlow Field in Evansville. There just aren't many covered grandstands around anymore.

Boonville was pretty nice when we were up there in October. The crown wasn't nearly as severe as Castle. Both need to get turf though. It makes sense for so many other things besides football...

With the increasing use of the forward pass and receivers occasionally lined up near the numbers, Hatchet Hollow has become as close to dangerous as you'll see in SW Indiana.

Great message. I too hope he can turn the program around. A big step would be getting the community to show that football matters and invest in a turf field at Hatchet Hollow.

This topic has been beaten more than a clubhouse garbage can in Minute Maid Park.

As much as I like to believe otherwise, I just don't see Memorial being 8-1. We have a lot of holes to fill and while I think we can, it will take some time and we'll take some lumps along the way. Being 5-4 or 4-5 wouldn't really surprise me..

Well, Bosse and Harrison were the 7th & 8th place teams in the SIAC compared to Mt. Vernon and Boonville being 2nd and 3rd in the Big 8. We played both Jasper and Boonville and I would not characterize either as being "far more" physical than anyone in the SIAC except Harrison.

I would say that is accurate based on what I know about parochial school pay on this side of the Ohio river.

I'm guessing a public school teaching/coaching job would pay more than a Catholic school teaching/job...

Marian has picked up several good players from down here recently. It's a shame UE can't look past the current dumpster fires that its D1 men's and women's basketball programs have become and start up a D3 football program again. It would be fun to see these kids play locally on Saturdays.
