Way back in the 80s. I am a little surprised the name has stuck. Then again, they’re trying to pull an Ole Miss by ignoring the Old South by replacing Johnny Reb with Sir Newton, a southern gentleman. Good in theory, but almost every farmer in Newton County wears Carhartts. Yes, Riverton Parke would have been quite a jaunt, just as Pioneer and Caston were. Even Winamac and to a certain extent West Central (although they’re in the MWC 2.0) weren’t real close by.

Thanks for the recognition--I've always liked the WRC and would have been happy if SN would have been a member, even in my day. SN, 39-6 NV 28-20 PH 19,14 Stephanie White HS, 23-21 Covington 69-13

Hype will do that to you. Win 8+ games for a couple of years and you think you’re invincible. Hardly the case is most situations… Both IU and Purdue have some serious work to do, but it’s not too late.

Penn State is looking awfully good, too. Michigan should be up there by year’s end. Iowa is another hope from the B1G. I don’t know what to think of Oklahoma, yet their replacement in the XII, Cincinnati could surprise… Oh yeah, and Kentucky knocked off Florida tonight.

I’ve never been a fan of the XII. I liked the Big 8, and maybe they should have merged with the Big Ten instead. But that ship has obviously sailed, so the proverbial “what if’s” have no merit. As for the old SWC, meh. You had UT, A & M, and TCU produce good seasons every now and then, but no long-term stability. Hopefully the new additions coupled with UT and Oklahoma bolting will result in a better league.

As a Boiler fan, I am very excited to see Brady in old gold and black. Purdue’s offense works best with a solid vertical passing game, and all Plummer does is check down it. AOC will be gone and I know very little about Alaimo.

Exactly. A lot of football is to be played beforehand. Good luck to all the teams.

I like it, it’s good to see football north of US 30 re-emerge.

The Lions are 3-3 and Kingsmen are 3-4.

It will be interesting to see what shakes out. Jeff beat Richmond 70-0 tonight and I think Elkhart is having a down year. The Fort Wayne schools should not be overlooked either. I also think the Vikings will bounce back.

So much for a fun one. Are the Pirates ready for CG? Possibly, but let’s see how the do with the likes of Lafayette Jeff and Penn or Elkhart first. Is Valpo’s season over? Clearly not, as this is just one game.

Lowell 28, Highland 14 2nd half

I’ve always felt things were a little off in that area.

Prayers to all. My sister-in-law lives nearby.

Lowell 21, Highland 14 Half South Newton 20, North White 14 Third Stanza

Highland 7, Lowell 6 North White 7, South Newton 6 Both in First Quarter

This will be a fun matchup. I don't really care or let alone know if the Viking, Pirates, or even Brickies, Devils, or 59ers can hang with the juggernauts of metropolitan Indianapolis football. Who really cares? This game is about tonight and tonight only. Not November..

Was. Never. Worried.

Wait a minute!!! Garrett just sacked Fields again…

I’m pretty convinced God hates the Lions.

Are the Browns legit or are the Bears who we thought they were?

Night game tonight on NBC this evening. After a dud vs. New Orleans, AR-12 has seemingly shaken off the rust. The D will need to show up, too.

On. The. Field.
