Gotcha.

Yep, Bucky has his fair share of big uglies, he'd be lost in the shuffle.

good luck!

Just win, baby. The Bears are in for a major letdown as they're buying into they undue hype given them. Detroit is a dumpster fire, but they would love to play the spoiler. I've never been sold on Cousins at Minnesota.

Mark Herrmann, Mike Phipps, Bob Griese (although he did go to Rex Mundi in Evansville, a private school part of the Catholica Juggernaut) Even non-Boilers such as Jay Cutler, Blair & Gunner KIel.

He does care about the game, I'll give him that.

you may have just invoked DT's wrath, my good brother...

Admittedly, the Wagon Wheel is fine cuisine, but it pales in comparison to the Good Table on the west end of Kentland... Indeed!

The thumbs down, which is something this warrior will wear as a badge of honour. It's a sport people, a game if you will, and games should be fun. This has gone tragically awry...

Whatever.

Been thinking about this whole contraction/280 madness. I just don’t get it. As populations grow, more schools will be needed, and the kids will need something to do. Not just the 75 on the team, we’re talking about the support staff, cheerleaders, band, and most importantly fans. Come to the games and hang out with your friends or make new ones. Football is a great thing and to place so many restrictions on it is next-level stupid.

I'm not mean, either. But when getting people engaged in conversation, one should not always hope for similar attitudes. Dissent is commonplace. Some pretty wild things have been proposed and thinking everyone will embrace them is silly.

Lowell v. Penn Rensselaer v. Linton-Stockton West Lafayette v. Vincennes Chatard v. Andrean Homestead v. Center Grove

Not really the scientific method, but I digress. A good friend of mine went there, it's a very good area. Not very affluent, just a lot of great farmland and people.

Your last statement couldn't be any more correct. Athletics are circular at many schools, especially the smaller ones. In certain years, there could be a bunch of great players (along with a well-seasoned {hi, Lysander} coach), whereas the pickings could be quite slim in other years, but things always do work out. Sure, I'm not about to book a room at the JW Marriott for when SN makes it to the Luke, but there will always be football in the cornfields on Friday nights...

Yep.

It was all in fun, and a little silly (admittedly), but could have legs...

Breathing room achieved. Then again, the Hawks are now leading the West, so the Packers could up playing the 49ers sooner than later...

Great matchup! I'd rather see things like this than teams going out of state. In a way, a format like ESPN's bracket buster could be fun: pair up schools nowhere close to each other. Lafayette Jeff-Bloomington South, New Pal-Homestead, Lowell-Chatard, even a Contraction Classic of South Newton-Elwood. And if anyone has the temerity to a suggest neutral site, my hand will penetrate the screen a slap said suggester silly...

I guess you're a Carmel...or a South Newton. Then again, I did make the move to Lowell a few years ago and from what I hear, the Devils field a decent squad. Not really affluent, not at all private, they just enjoy the game without the political musings as it should be. Not one for the success factor, never has been.

Not everyone gets a trophy. It’s not the triumph, but the struggle.

Good luck!!!
