I absolutely love this idea!

My point is, teach them how to have fun the right way.

Perhaps because we’re trying to teach kids fundamentals … including the fundamentals of good sportsmanship and an attitude that focuses on team rather than individuals, since we know that likely none of those kids is ever going to make a living playing football.

Thought you would want to know. Ohio State has offered 2 of St. Ed’s offensive lineman in the class of 2024. They’re twins! How cool is that? Guess they’ll have a pretty good O-line coming back next year. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio-state-football-recruiting/2023/01/136883/the-hurry-up-ohio-state-offers-in-state-offensive-linemen-and-twin-brothers-deontae-and-devontae As always, it’s a great day to be an Eagle!

Actually, it wasn’t. Single digit wind velocity all day. https://www.localconditions.com/weather-buffalo-new-york/14201/past.php

The way the Bengals came out against Buffalo, I think KC is going to have to score 4 TDs to have a chance to win. And with Mahomes hobbled, I don’t see that happening. Of course, they say whether is the great equalizer. Forecast is for game time temps in the teens, but only moderate winds. Without wind to bother Burrow, they may end up curb stomping the Chiefs if they get out in front early.

Looks like Cincy is about to open up a can on the Bills.

I certainly ran my share of gassers in the old days. And I confess there were a couple of times my stomach turned inside out. But this is different. One of these kids was hospitalized with Rhabdomyolysis, which occurs when the breakdown of damaged muscle tissue releases waste products into the bloodstream, overwhelming the kidneys. It’s potentially fatal.

The “barrier” starts at the state line, not Indianapolis. 10-1.1 Out-of-State Contest Limitations Member Schools may only participate in an out-of-state Contest if: a. the site or venue of a Contest is within (300) miles from the Indiana State line;

They need a true #1 WR. That’s a lot to ask of someone they get in the draft.

I was there, too.

Let the auction begin. https://www.chicagobearshq.com/bears-football/story/bears-news-report-colts-ready-to-offer-massive-package-for-1-overall-pick-20202 Colts ready to offer massive package for #1 overall pick The Chicago Bears are officially on the clock, holding the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL draft. This will be an ongoing conversation for the next several months as the Bears hold the keys to the entire draft. Having the No.1 pick gives them plenty of options as it allows them to draft whoever they want to draft without the chances of them being off the board later. The Bears will also be in a great position to trade down in the draft to acquire more picks and pieces. That is the consensus right now, as the top two players in this year's class are QBs which the Bears don't need. However, several teams behind them need a QB, and most of them will attempt to trade with the Bears to take a QB No.1. One of those teams has already made it public that they want a QB and are willing to do whatever it takes to get one. That team is the Indianapolis Colts, who could become the Bears first of many trade partners in the coming weeks. Ever since Andrew Luck retired more than five seasons ago, the Colts have had a revolving door at the QB position, and it hasn't gone well for them. Apart from Phillip Rivers two years ago, the Colts have struggled with QB play as Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, Sam Ehlinger, and Nick Foles are just a few of the guys who have taken snaps under center the last two years. That is not going to get it done in the NFL, and the Colts know that hence why they want to make a move to get a No. 1 QB. According to recent reports from David Kaplan, the Colts are not only looking to move up in the draft, but they are expected to offer the Bears a massive trade package that circles around the No. 1 pick and several players. “The Colts reportedly are ready to put a deal together that would include WR Michael Pittman, potentially another player, and a bevy of draft picks," Kaplan said recently. Getting into Pittman for a little bit and what he would bring to the table. At just 25 years old, Pittman is about to enter his prime as a player and would have an excellent opportunity to be a legitimate No.1 with the Bears. Despite the Colts finishing in the bottom third of the league in passing the last few years, Pittman continues to be a rising star as he has had two great seasons. After coming away with more than 1000 yards in 2021, Pittman fell short of that in 2022, but did have to battle through some injuries. However, he delivered a career-high 99 receptions in the Colts’ “X” receiver role and finished tied for the seventh-most contested catches in the league (15). For an offense that has struggled to pass the ball as much as the Colts have, that is impressive, and that alone could help Justin Fields and his overall passing game. A second-round pick in 2020 out of USC, Pittman has all the intangibles to be a No. 1 WR in this league, and with a better QB, could become just that. With Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool as the only WRs under contract for next year, Pittman would make that room a much deeper room while giving the Bears a weapon they haven't had since Allen Robinson during his first three years in Chicago. At 6-4 and 223 pounds, Pittman would give the Bears the size at WR that they are looking for while also bringing above-average speed with him. He has a proven track record of high-volume receiving production, averaging 94 receptions per season in his last two seasons in Indianapolis. That is more than anyone else on this roster. Along with Pittman, the Bears would get the No. 4 pick, which also benefits them. It would allow them to draft Will Anderson Jr or Jalen Carter, and both would be enormous gains for the defense. You can also expect the Colts second-round pick, #35, and a future second-round pick coming to Chicago, as the Bears will have a jumpstart on rebuilding this team quicker.

Absolutely. Cathedral played a home & home with St. Edward a few years ago, if memory serves. Right, @PHJIrish?

Nothing a timely “suicide” won’t fix.

Wonder if the owners are already working with a developer? I bet they are.

Lakefront real estate = $$$$$$$

I assumed something like that. I understand violation of an organizational policy. But a crime?

I have just one question: What’s a “computer access crime?” https://www.totalprosports.com/ncaa/police-search-home-office-michigan-matt-weiss/ REPORT: Major Scandal Erupts After Police Conduct Search At Office & Home Of Michigan Football Coach A Michigan football coach has been placed on leave due to a police investigation into a “report of computer access crimes” at Schembechler Hall in December. Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss has been away from the team and is not helping on the recruiting trail this offseason, per college football insider Pete Thamel of ESPN. Weiss released a statement to ESPN in response to this ongoing investigation: “I am aware of the ongoing investigation by the University of Michigan Police Department and fully cooperating with investigators. I look forward to the matter being resolved. Out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, I will not have any further comment.” The 39-year-old just finished his second season as an assistant under head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Wolverines have earned College Football Playoff berths in each of his two seasons with the program.

It seems the new rule maintains the 300 mi. rule for Indiana schools traveling out of state, but removes any geographic restrictions on out of state schools coming to Indiana. Here’s the new rule: RULE 10 – INTERSTATE CONTESTS AND PRACTICES REQUIRING SPECIAL ATTENTION 10-1 Contest Limitations 10-1.1 Out-of-State Contest Limitations Member Schools may only participate in an out-of-state Contest if: a. the site or venue of a Contest is within (300) miles from the Indiana State line; b. the Contest is against a school that is a member of a state athletic association; and c. the event is sanctioned as needed by the IHSAA through the NFHS sanctioning process (rules 10-1.3 and 10.1.4) 10-1.2 In-State Contest Limitations Out-of-state schools who participate against an IHSAA Member School in a Contest in Indiana must: a. be a member of their state’s athletic association; b. be in “good-standing” with their state’s athletic association; and c. the event be sanctioned as needed by the IHSAA through the NFHS sanctioning process (rules 10-1.3 and 10-1.4).

I hope so, too. But this specific game would have been permissible under the old rules.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Russ Radtke actually coached a game at Portage. To my recollection, he accepted the job, but then it fell apart and he went to Knox.

To amplify, not only did he play their #1 WR, Mike Williams, deep into a meaningless game last week - with the result that he was injured and out for this game - but he also was ahead 27-7 at halftime yesterday, and they threw 22 passes on 29 snaps in the 2nd half. They lost on the last play of the game, which never would have happened if they’d run some clock in the 2nd half. I heard someone describe it as “coaching malpractice.”

If I were the Chargers’ coach, I wouldn’t send my laundry out.

You never know. Georgia’s situation is the result of an egregious missed call on the play that decided one of their state championship games. Indiana had something like that happen about 15 years ago. I wonder if it happened now whether an interest in replay might be part of the fallout.
