I may be in the the minority, but either way, just my opinion: If there is a reasonable chance that B could regain possession and ultimately score to tie or win, then play the snap if you want, assuming both sides of the ball are on the same page and aware of the intent. If my team had the ball and the opposition wanted to fire out and try to get it? Go for it man, I'm not offended. I'm telling the OL to pass pro and and clench the win. That said... yeah, I'd prefer pack up and go home, whichever side of the scoreboard I'm on. I have work tomorrow and I'm probably wanting a strong drink by that point if I'm coaching a bunch of 12-13 yo's. I get the other side of the argument, too. It is traditionally a gentleman's agreement with taking a knee, let's accept the L and move on. And I'm no Schiano/Bucs fanboy either. I just don't see anything for either team to get upset about as long as each side and the officials are all aware of the intent. Otherwise, why is there a distinction of "9 or more points" regarding the victory formation? THAT I get, and 100% agree with. Nine points goes from a 1:100 or 1:1000 chance to... way, WAY bigger odds. Not sure how many zeros there, but probably a lot. That's no longer what I would consider a reasonable chance, and I think that's why the rule is written the way it is. Maybe we can petition the rules committee to make a new rule to completely take the snaps out of the equation: If the offense has ANY more points than the defense, the HC on the offense can throw up a Nixon-esque double peace sign and declare victory without snapping the ball, but only if the defense is unable to stop the game clock from expiring relative to the number of timeouts they have remaining. Sort of like the MLB four finger intentional walk. AND they have to yell "Winner, winner, chicken dinner!" when declaring the sans-snap victory, or the offense is penalized for "failure to declare chicken dinner". Not sure what the penalty for that would be... Seriously though, I get your frustration and I'm not dismissing it. Particularly when it comes to otherwise meaningless games at the MS level. Move it along, mini-Schiano, I gots me some bourbons to drink. 😂

I'm always excited for a game at The Jungle! And we finally have some football weather... double bonus!! Hope everyone stays healthy on both sides and looking forward to a battle. Good luck this evening!

I see what ya did there... lol

GS only lost to Reitz in 20/21 34-48. Reitz rolled GS 21/22 by a kajillion, maybe two kajillion. My son has had some success vs North: lost by decision 12-16 in 2020/21, won by tech fall 15-0 21/22. I don't recall team scores, but pretty sure 20/21 was closer than 21/22. I don't remember scores of either though. I don't recall meeting Memorial. Could be selective memory, though. 😂

Sonofa biscuit eater. I'm always late to the fun stuff.

Dats a lotta 🌽 My role at GS includes ensuring the area just north of the end zone is adequately ballasted by my a** in playoff games held during hurricane season so the turf doesn't fly away. And though I commute to Illinois for work, I live in Haubstadt purely for the convenience of being able to stumble home from Sommerfest every year. The only trick is figuring out which direction to go from the beer garden to find my way... Is it a right just past the lemon shake up stand? Or is it left after the walking tacos? They keep moving these damn things. I am a minority owner of the internet. Our corporate distributions are Handsome, with a capital H. Mostly ad revenue from p*rn sites and cat videos, oddly enough. ^^^THIS is nothing positive added, so feel free to call me out on it. Tho, it may be a waste of keystrokes for you. 😉

I have it on background that GS has been actively recruiting out of state for a new QB1. He probably won't be ready this week, but should be by the time we hit the Mt Vernon/Princeton/Boonville home stretch. The hope is that those three games will get him familiar with the offensive scheme by the time sectionals roll around. Word is that he's not quite the speedy running QB that GS historically has had, but Coach Hart really wanted to get back to that pocket passer type of guy since we had some success with it last couple of years. I did hear something about possibly having some eligibility issues, but I'm sure the GS admin can get that sorted out. #ThinkFastRunFast #FastChad #Homeschooled

Double ouch.

Lol no qualifiers man! Subscribe to the injury report newsletter like the rest of us. 😉

Great album.

Jeez. If you're a stickler, I guess A would be the "right" answer since the play should be shut down. I suppose you could tell the coaches that the head linesman's whistle got clogged up with sunflower seed shells and no one could actually hear him. But yeah, unfair to the offense... plus it is JV, and we all want to get home at some point. 😂 B if you don't want to own up to it, sweep that sucker under the rug. C is probably the best answer for the circumstances. Although the B coach might want to fight you FOR penalizing his team... that might be a first.

This feels like a late winter/early spring thread. Everyone is getting antsy from being cooped up all winter, HS football has been over for months, the state championship games are all talked out, DT has seven parallel contraction threads and is on his ninth "Screw you guys, I'm going home" tour (Eric Cartman voice), and there is absolutely nothing else to talk about. I kid, I kid. But yeah, can't imagine any truth to this. I have zero insight, but it just doesn't make sense.

Ok, now I'm starting to think you're doing it on purpose 😂

Very sorry to hear about this loss. Our thoughts are with Treven's family and friends, and the Springs Valley community.

(Full disclosure: Bears fan here). In real time speed I can 100% see why they called it short. In super-duper slo-mo, I can kinda-almost-sorta see that it probably-likely-plausibly was a score. But I'd concur that if it was called a TD it would have stood. ...probably. lol

I guess it may depend on how the HH defense uses their DBs on run fits, but having one lead the team in tackles can't be a good sign for the overall D performance, right? I don't mean that as a disparaging comment or for bulletin board material. I've just not seen a DB lead in tackles when the front 7/8 are performing as you'd like. I speak from personal experience from roughly two and a half decades ago... and it wasn't a good thing in that instance. Some of us preferred getting PBUs and INTs, not taking on bearded 195# RBs who slobbered at the chance to try to steamroll a baby faced CB. Almost thought about getting one of those giant old school linebacker neck rolls, but I digress. lol That just made me check back a few seasons to look at the HH ppg allowed. It looks like right at 19/game so far in 2022. Last year it was under 10 (excluding the two GS games). 2019 was closer to 6 (excluding the Chatard game), and 2018 was about the same. The 2022 HH offense looks to be throwing up plenty of points and the two losses on paper look to be pretty close... basically less than two scores away from being 5-0. I know it is still early and HH is always dangerous, but that ~20 ppg allowed seems very out of the ordinary. Do you think it is a matter of moving some pieces around or tweaking the scheme some to better fit the players in place? Or is this sort of just an odd year for the D?

I'd say that this may be the most likely scenario.

LMAO I keep forgetting about that song. Kudos to the writers; each line is funnier than the last.

Hrm, well, illegal participation then? 3rd and 1?

Well, let's say some video backs up the IG call (no one including eligible tackle). Would my original assumption of 1-10 fo B on the A 30 be correct? I'm not necessarily claiming the officials made a mistake here, I'm actually questioning whether the B HC declined the penalty because he didn't know he'd get the ball if he accepted. All speculation either way on the discussion between all parties, I'm more curious to know if my understanding of the call would be correct.

This is a middle school thing I recently observed and I can't really recall ever seeing it before. I'm making up most of the details, but the essence is there. Fourth and ten from the A 40, QB is being sacked at the A 30 and blindly flings it to the A35 and there is no eligible receiver within 15 yards. Obviously IG (to this layman at least). Flag come out, signal is IG. I don't know what the discussion was between the B coach and the white hat, but ultimately B takes over 1st and ten at the A 40 (original LOS). Wouldn't an option for the B team be to accept the penalty, mark off ten yards, and take over at the A 30?

Encroachment, 5 yds, 3rd and 1?
