Back from obscurity. A few good games tonight:
Frontier Vs. Irvington Prep Academy--are they Falcons so hard up for a win they had to schedule this one? 33-6
North Newton Vs. West Central--will the winless Spartans tally a W this season? Not tonight, 47-6
North White Vs. Wes-Del--NW a decent team, but why the long bus ride for the visitor? 41-12
South Newton Vs. Tri-County--my Rebels have come back from near contraction, by always a good game with the Cavs, 38-20.

Wonder if it'd be something like Harrison and McCutcheon joining up with THN/THS and perhaps toss in a couple of others like West Lafayette and Lebanon. Harrison had THS on the schedule for a couple of years along with Westfield before trading for West Lafayette and Plainfield.
Wouldn't be ideal for the bigger schools, but it's not like the NCC was doing all that much for Harrison anyway ... outside of Jeff. Could probably still schedule Jeff as an out-of-conference team. Maybe look at playing one or more of the Catholic schools too as out-of-conference. Chatard has played Harrison on its undercards for a few years. They could replace Tech on their schedule with Harrison. Maybe add in Brebeuf who could replace Tri-West or Marian with Harrison. Brebeuf already plays THN and THS and has also played Harrison on undercards. Of course, you'd have to convince WL to bolt the HC, but stranger things have happened ... and West Lafayette already plays McCutcheon and Harrison on their out-of-conference schedule.
Again, not a great solution for Harrison/McCutcheon, but right now they are without a conference and if THN/THS are also out looking, the Island of Misfit Toys might end up being better than possibly getting split or staying independent for several years.
Swell moniker! I do like the idea of the Boone, Tippecanoe, and Vigo conference menagerie. Could West Vigo be involved?

I'm not sure if ND's independence has much bearing. If they were to join a conference, they would probably not have a stranglehold on it. Big Ten? Nope. SEC? No way in hell. ACC? Most doubtful, as they are very top-heavy with Clemson, Florida State, Miami, and North Carolina with others such as Virginia Tech and Wake Forest showing flashes of brilliance. Possibly the Big 12, but I'm rather doubtful with their new lineup, especially BYU and Utah.
Them Mormons are mean.

Tough game for the Beinchos with an H (even my spell check objects). I admire them, however, for keeping in in-state. Irish big, 44-16.

This summer flew by! Played lots of golf, drank even more beer, accrued many frequent flyer miles--and here we are. Should be a great weekend. Lowell & Crown Point should be a fun game, but who am I kidding? CP, and I could really care less about their ranking, (whatever it is) will most likely maul the Red Devils. Then again, RDP has a pretty good scrimmage against Merrillville last weekend, so you never know. As for my South Newton Rebels, they will be after their third straight winning season, and host Lake Station. Plenty of more great games across the great state of ours, although some feel the need to cross state lines to find opponents (big head scratcher there) Good luck to everyone!!!

I've never been a fan of local teams playing prep schools, the risk of injury is greatly exacerbated. And I don't think IMG has a goat to steal...

No, which is another reason why I'm not outraged about Harbaugh's "violations."
Maybe it even shows Michigan is willing to finally "play ball."
The SEC/Dabo are whining about NIL and all of the money surrounding college football because everyone can now legally do what they've been doing for decades under the table.
You mean the SEC has been less that honorable?!?

It’s solely based on what will drive eyeballs to TV sets.
Indeed. I also hear Arizona is close to joining the Big XII. Too bad, because those are one of the PAC-12 schools I would have liked to the in the B1G, Tucson is a great place and U of A is an awesome school. Especially basketball wise, I know football drives the bus, but there are also many sports that will also be heading west.

Still baffled why cal and Stanford arent above oregon Washington. Is solely based on football program strength?
They're in the mix, too, but the Huskies and Ducks (Nike U.) are bigger fish.
-
Although they were not added yet, the Big Ten conference will be scouting the Universities or Oregon and Washington for membership. Although this would destroy the PAC-12 as we know it, our league would only grow stronger. If you can stand the hippies and homeless people (in addition to some whacked out people), bot Eugene and Seattle are great places to see games. Sure, UO has that abysmal basketball court, but their football stadium is rather nice.

Now in addition to football and baseball, now the women's volleyball program is involved with hazing allegations.
Trend of reality? Trend of something else??
Ugly all around. We either have smart dumb kids or dumb smart kids.

SEC: So Everybody Cheats. I'm not excusing Harbaugh's lying (as it is indeed a breaking of the 10 Holy Commandments), but it's not like Jimmy Pants handed over the keys to BMWs, Ferraris, and other high-end luxury cars which is rampant at many schools only to have the new drivers get busted for traffic violations...even someone lost their life! The U-M recruit may have had a case of indigestion...

Does it really matter? Sure, winning is nice and all, but the clear majority of high school football players will not play beyond this level.

I still am flummoxed by this turf thing. Sure it looks good, etc., but turf toe and other injuries that can be attributed to it are very real...

I've always thought highly of him and hope he wins the case. The B1G would be a perfect league if we could somehow get P. J. Fleck out of Minnesota and prevent Michigan State from hiring Urban Meyer. Insert your own Dick Allen comment...
