Gipper

I often wear my Packers gear into Chicago, doesn't phase me... Given my location, I take Metra from University Park. Although I have ridden the South Shore a few times, I don't really like it.

Great observations! De Pere is a little pricey, I concur. I was at Wolf Lake a few weeks ago--real nice.

A lot of my family is from the Green Bay area (De Pere and Allouez currently), I grew up in the heart of Bears and the Colts country, yet my allegiance stayed true. It was more than obvious AR-12 was off his game due to not playing for a long time, the defense is what really stood out.

IT'S ON!!! "San Dimas High School Football Rules!!!" --Ted Theodore Logan & William S. Preston. Esq. I concur.

I’m also a Packer fan. The Bears were also a victim of their own hype. And, yes, although the Packers do have a great defense, but Aaron and the boys need to step on the gas if they don’t want an 8-8 season. Thing of beauty...

Portage also played one heck of a game as they pasted Lowell. Jeff won, WL is WL again, Penn won big, and Valpo also looked good.

One more thing, sports fans: Purdue was not the only B1G that had their share of troubles as Northwestern lost, Minnesota and Nebraska and didn't exactly slaughter their opponents, and the Ball State-IU game wasn't a blowout...

Me neither--could have been the altitude, could have been the D giving in (which can be ultimately attributed the altitude), and the turnovers didn't help. But FWIW, it's not a one-game season...

well played.

If we would have protected the ball, the outcome would have been much different. The ending was not so great, but the first half was, so Brohm needs to build on that. As I’ve said before, was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If we would have protected the ball, the outcome would have been much different.

Penn 21, LaPorte 6 2nd Portage 7, Lowell 0 1st

I expect Tipton to win big.

No bueno.

Purdue has way too much firepower, especially at receiver. As for Nevada's QB--new guy. Boilers pull away late, 48-21...

Conversely, IHSA nicknames also include the Dolphins, Maroons, Saxons, Trevians, and Wooden Shoes...

A MUST HAVE!!!

A few that were overlooked (and with a little commentary): Avon Orioles (noble bird) Bedford North Lawrence Stars (would have preferred the old Stonecutters handle, but the former is uniques in its own right) Columbus East Olympians (their tackle football squard seems to go for the gold) Greenwood Woodmen (alliteration ats its best) Marion Giants (so much for an iferiority complex) Plainfield Quakers (wait? what? Quakers are opposed to violence--society of friends...)

Play like a champion. Or don't.

We need to, players are human beings, not robots...

Why people can't figure that out is beyond me...

I will never think of Indianapolis as a hick town, but went down on Saturday was low class. I don't care if it was a timing issue or not, you just don't do certain things. Luck was good for the team and it's unfortunate that bad apples are making you guys look like cry babies... Brissett, or maybe now Osweiler can do a few good thing, who knows, but Saturday was next-level ugly.

I'll ponce on that one. It could be the Newton/Lake County line extending eastward to St. Joseph County. Or maybe at US 30 and all the way through Porter County. Nevertheless, it ends at Lake Michigan and the Illinois and Michigan stare lines. "In Central Indiana, we drive Chevy"

Gotcha--good to know there's no risk of contraction...
