"I'm a man, I'm 40..." --Mike Stoops

Just messing around--a good friend of mine lives in Chesterton. Russtoleum is fine, I just got into it a few years ago with a few of their fans, and since I'm a bitter old man, I can't let go. Don't know the Mishawaka score will be, but I wish all the Region teams not named Morton (kidding--go Govs) luck!!!

I didn't as I ride Metra--the way to really fly... But I can attest to your point, two of my neighbors have kids that go there.

Absolutely not! My train goes right by Mt. Carmel High School in the Chicago where the Caravan were engaged in morning practice, none of them appeared to be dying...

I'll tell you what it means: NOTHING

Merrillville--Public School on I-65--yes I'm that bored today...

Good picks, but...

Uh-oh. You know what that means...

FYI, he is in real estate...

Pretty awesome--is he buying or selling some real estate in Rennseltucky?

Thanks for sharing, and Boiler up! I agree, Philips and Simeon do have the talent, but depth and even coaching are lacking. Crete-Monee and West Lafayette (both a little smaller) hooked up for a home-and-home a few years ago. How about these potential matchups? Penn-Maine South Cathedral-Mt. Carmel Carmel-New Trier Columbus East-Nazareth Academy Fishers-Hinsdale South South Newton-Schurz (sorry, had to get that one in, as an ex-girlfriend of mine went there)

All 3 are great conferences. I read the Chicago papers on my commute into the Loop on a daily basis and see a portion of their sports section cover the local high schools. With that, I can't help but wonder how teams such as Carmel, Fishers, or Homestead would fare in Illinois conferences like the ones of Homewood-Flossmoor, Oak Park, and New Trier...

I think I know where that was from... SN football, just like all sports in God's country, is very cyclical...

you better believe it!!! Start looking for airbnbs in Pasadena...

I concur. In the Northwest Crossroads Conference, Andrean is the lone private school to the 5 others. Do they dominate? No, but they usually are pretty good and Dan Dakich was a Niner...

Should be quite a year. I'm still amazed the Bears were able to get a good coach as I think he is the goods. I also like the Packers hiring LaFleur--they actually get along! I consider myself more obnoxious than a meathead...

Are you at Rib Mountain near Wausau?

Sweet! Enjoy God's country...

Florida in the summer, a little to humid for me, I prefer the UP of Meat Chicken...

I saw that on hammerandrails.com. Much better from a competitive standpoint as he'll most likely be going up against teams such as DeMatha (MD), Oak Hill (VA), and Bishop O'Gorman (Vegas Baby). This is a good thing.

Football in the Region should not disappoint this year.

As my Geno Auriemma remark was not too well received, how about Rodney "why can't we all just get along" King? Just kidding--this is a very slippery slope with no good outcome, or so it seems. I wish everybody a healthy 2019 campaign, and San Dimas High School football indeed does rule...

I get your point, I never meant to come across as an arrogant POS. I wish all you guys well...

Look, I realize a lot of you think a championship is the only thing. It's not. A few good moments on the field, one hell of a victory party, etc. But it ends there as time does not stand still. People move on... ...as I said in an earlier post, I never won a state championship in high school, yet I was cool with it and still am. I'm no longer a football player, yet I'm killing it in my career--that's the real victory! If I trampled on some of your feelings, I would like to expend my most sincere apologies, but I would also like to remind you football is a game, and games should be fun.
