See?

That’s OK—Brownsburg was down early, too.

Kickoffs are upon us! Good luck to everybody out there!!! Post your scores here. Or don’t. Just don’t post any memes...

Lowell will be chilling—got the ‘Rona...

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind...

With that, some people take thus forum way too seriously. Maybe DT can take just contraction rants elsewhere...

No. Take a joke.

Saw that—got the email from the Tri-Creek School District. Let’s offer up some prayers for this young man and his family.

I think it’s great that girls’ sports are doing well. But to attribute that to the downfall of the traditional big boys is silly.

I’m more concerned about the MAC...

Legendary Bears coaches I can think of: George Halas, Mike Ditka (no way in hell I’m including luminaries such as Marc Trestman and Dave Wannstedt) The Domers? Knute Rockne, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine, Lou Holtz. Sure, you’ll also find Charlie Weis, but ND’s the better gig by far.

I’m sorry he had to take off for whatever his reason was.

That cannot be directly attributed to girls’ sports.

LC and CP do as well. I just feel like he was making a cop out.

Of course we can: add schools like Crete-Monee, Mt. Carmel, and New Trier in Illinois, and Bayport and Catholic Memorial in Wisconsin...

Looks like it’s back! I’m happy for this, but given my doom and gloom outlook on things, I just hope it lasts...

All for it, as those were just a few of my silly ideas. Why not a rematch of the state finals a few years ago? Lowell-East Central. Maybe Andrean vs. Evv. Mater Dei or Penn taking on New Palestine, plenty of options.

I actually want to see more: Merrillville-Center Grove Harrison-Jeffersonville East Noble-Jasper West Lafayette-Vincennes Andrean-Linton Parke Heritage-West Washington

I actually like it. Intersectional things are a good thing in my humble opinion.

A little extra time on a bus, big deal. The season will never go down in history for normalcy.

Splitting hairs?

It’s all good. Although there has been a dearth of Region presence at LOS in recent years (with the exception of Lowell), athletics are (where have I said this be?) very cyclical thing. You could very well see Andrean, Hobart, Merrillville, and Valpo make noise in thus year’s tournament. Beyond that, Crown Point, Hammond Morton, Lake Central, Munster, and Whiting (in addition to many others) have the potential to do something.

1. I don’t really care about Highland all that much. 2. No way they get invites before schools like Hanover and Wheeler 3. Like Highland, I don’t care about Griffith all that much, but I do think their bolting was a bad move. 4. Noll will field a varsity team again. 5. Munster will be back, although it’s a bigger school, athletics are cyclical. 6. Merrillville’s schedule is fine as Hobart and Andrean would finish in the top half of the DAC. 7. I doubt it. The move is just speculation anyway. 8. I don’t know, but will ask him the next time I’m shooting craps at Blue Chip. 9. A little of both. Both are needed. 10. Jury’s still out as NN, Rensselaer, and Wheeler aren’t a murderers row. 11. They shouldn’t, but get an F in overlooking a quality team. 12. Football at EC is just conditioning for basketball. 13. San Dimas High School Football rules.

No kidding, stay on point! It’s unfortunate that this is happening to MC, hopefully they’ll be playing by the time Sectionals roll around.

Better yet, how many will be allowed in?
