  1. Imagine whatever you like.
  2. Take a look at this lineup. Photo is as #80 approaches the ball for an onside kick. When he kicked the ball he was still in the neutral zone. K recovered the onside kick. Legal, or not?
  3. I don’t know where you’re getting your information, but I would suggest you find a better source. Sure they can. Now, whether it actually gets reviewed is another question.
  4. Helping the runner is actually a Point of Emphasis this year. Translation: “It’s happening and it’s not being called. Call it!” Another reason is the difference in rules at the different levels. NFHS Rules simply provide “An offensive player shall not push, pull or lift the runner to assist his ­forward progress.” So, yes, you can push the pile. But you can’t push the runner.
  5. There are some instances, often involving player or coach disqualifications, that the IHSAA reviews video. But they have nowhere near the manpower needed to police 160 games every weekend. So, most of the “heinous/irresponsible calls” go unaddressed. And by “heinous/irresponsible calls” I mean those that “I disagree with and go against my team.”
  6. 🤣😂😅 Seriously, Coach Curtis has clearly mellowed. Can’t tell anything from the video. This happened at 8:25 of the 4th period. If either of the coaching staffs would share the Hudl video with the IFOA like they are supposed to, I could look at it and see if there’s anything there. Regardless, there should have been a measurement, if only for “public relations” purposes.
  7. It’s about time. I saw a game in that place. It was so long ago that Alex Rodriguez hit the first home run confirmed by the use of replay. He hit one right down the line and it disappeared into the rafters. That place was a dump then.
  8. I saw them demolish Bremen. Typical John Barron team. Not that big, but physical. They play hard. Run the ball. Play defense. Unspectacular, but it seems to work for them.
  9. Great catch, Mike!
  10. I would think the stadium situation would limit the number of potential buyers.
  11. Players numbered 50-79 are ineligible to catch a forward pass wherever they are lined up.
  12. There are no restrictions on which player can throw a legal forward pass. Any player on offense can do so on any play. The fact that you asked 2 different crews and neither was sure is disappointing. This is pretty fundamental stuff.
  13. OK. Try to keep in mind that accusing an official of being bad at it is one thing. Implying unfairness is quite another.
  14. I believe Pat McAfee was quoted extensively. He’s on ESPN now. Yes, it’s rumors. But he’s on the Mothership now, and can’t just say anything he wants. The whole thing is weird. And whether any of it is true, things seem to be snowballing with the Bears on several fronts.
  15. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss the rumors. Many reporting now that Williams’ home was raided, and while there was no “raid” at Halas Hall, the FBI was there with forensic people looking at Williams’ computer. Sounds like this bizarre story is still unfolding. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/alan-williams-details-are-trickling-out-and-its-horrifying/
  16. Forgot Mike Tomczak. 😂🤣
  17. What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is going on with the Bears? 0-2 and looking really bad, heading to Arrowhead this week. Defensive Coordinator resigns precipitously for “personal reasons.” Rumors of the FBI raiding Halas Hall. QB was quoted as saying the coaches are screwing him up … then he takes it back. Such high hopes, but it merely looks like the dumpster fire has been rekindled.
  18. Yeah, that’s why they’ve won 16 state championships. Because they think like that.
  19. If the crew followed the process for penalty enforcement described in the current Manual, the odds of making this mistake drop precipitously. It’s not difficult.
  20. Eagles stumble at Paul Brown Tiger Stadium agains a very good Massillon team. St. Edward starting QB was out, having been injured the preceding week at Elder. The backup threw 2 TD passes, the last with a minute left in the game, but the 2 pt. try failed, and the Tigers recovered the ensuing onside kick. Key for the Eagles the rest of the way is to hold serve against a very difficult schedule (Ignatius, Moeller, Akron Hoban) and hope the QB is healthy come playoff time. Regardless, it’s a great day to be an Eagle!
  21. Very true. Good crew on that game.
  22. That would explain much.
