He was a pretty good player at Northern Illinois on any surface. Set several school records and was a multi-year starter. Had a cup of coffee in the NFL, as I recall.

It’s like penalties in a football game. Over time, it all evens out.

Not in the last decade, and I don’t know about the “best QB,” but I saw Warren’s Desmond Tardy put a 300 yd. rushing game on Penn in the 2003 5A championship game. Thought I’d never see a QB performance like that again. And I didn’t … for almost 3 yrs. Then came the 2006 Regional at New Prairie. The absolute worst field conditions I’ve ever seen — and I once lost a shoe in the mud at a college game. Torrents of freezing rain, and then the temperature dropped 20 degrees, creating a bog with frozen ruts. Could barely stand upright on the field, except for one guy. The Norwell QB — a guy named Chandler Harnish — dominated the field that night. I have no idea how many yards rushing he had, or how many TDs, but Norwell won 49-20. How he did it on that field, I’ll never know. We checked his cleats — twice. Never saw anything like it before or since.

I think it was Jefferson who said: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

They are a textbook example of the benefits of continuity in the coaching staff.

42-7 over the past 4 seasons. That’s a pretty tough jury.

Hadn’t planned on it. But if you like …

Yep. We’re going for the sweep.

Notre Dame Men’s Lacrosse begins the defense of last year’s national championship. After winning the ACC regular season and tournament titles, and finishing the regular season ranked #1, the defending champs enter the NCAA tournament as the #1 overall seed. Duke is seeded #2. The Irish have beaten Duke the last 5 times they have played.

The transfer portal comes to high school.

Correct.

That’s an interesting take: retroactive decriminalization.

There are both federal and state laws that criminalize illegal gambling. There are many people in jail for breaking these laws. Should all the people who have illegal gambling offenses be released just because many forms of gaming are now legal?

How about gambling crimes?

I say this was the inevitable result of the NCAA’s stupid policies over the years — which have been replaced by NIL & the transfer portal. This is like a state legalizing cannabis. Do you let the people out of jail who broke the law when it was illegal? Do you automatically expunge their convictions?

You have to admit, suggesting - even tongue in cheek - that a rich donor ran the coach off isn’t exactly flattering the program.

I remember the Graham kid from Warren just laying somebody out on a kick return. Could not believe that kid got up from that one.

Ouch!

Interesting that you chose that example as a possibility.

By the end of the game, I’m not sure Penn even had 15 able-bodied players left on either defense or special teams.

Always entertaining when the Catholics turn on one another. 😂

No argument from me on that.

What were you doing under the upright?

Winter is coming. 🥶

Depends on what’s being used to stir it. 💩
