No SIAC coaches will dread going to either place. We will see what tune JHS fans are whistling about their new coach after his first couple years. If he stays that long.

Need a better argument than being better than the three teans listed. Can name several teams that could have been added that would finish above those three teams.i have been an SIAC person for fourty years and I stick to my previous statement. I will give that the judgement is still out on Lincolns new coach but I really see Jaspers sucess going downhill with their new coaching hire.

Sorry but As far as football goes I dont think the additions to either confrrance makes either one of them any stronger than they are now but I think I would rather be in the situation where I could do some flex scheduling.

Thats where coaching ability should come into play. Also they need to drop out the sectional because with this thinking they will never compete there either since 80% of the teams will be from the SIAC. Coach not thinking of his kids just thinking of his win/loss record.

Can anyone come up with a good reason to play football at a school that does not care about the post season?

Sorry but I find itvhard to believe Coach Ward had nothing to do with this decision.

Why are there no Bville people on here defending their football program? Think I may know

We are on the same page. This makes Bville look so bad.

Sounds like Bville based there whole decision on football because thry cant hang with the SIAC. I really thought they were going in the right direction when they hired their new coach a couple years but I was wrong. They are going backwards instead of trying to get better. Good luck in the PAC and I am glad you didnt join the SIAC. We want teams that know the can win. That article made Bville football program look really bad. Just my opinion.

I rest my case. If this wasnt their plan all along they would have joined the big boys. Hope it works out for them. Cant respect a program that doesnt look to better themselves.

With these scheduling possibilities it looks to me like Coach Hart is not afraid to play a tough schedule. That can only make the program stronger. So you have a 3a school wanting to play 5 and 6a teams and a 4a school wanting to play 2 and 3a schools. Will never make sence to me.

If I sm counting right that would leave them with one more opening correct?

Football has to be broke down as big and small division doesnt it? If so I think the new PAC would be better for the teams that want to make their selves better come tourney time. We will see by how the teams schedule their non divisonal games.

Who is the 13th team?

Just my obsevation but the last two times Jasper played Reitz in the Bowl their crowd was not very impressive. Both were sectional games.

Bottom line easier scheduling for the AD in all sports. Football no scheduling headachs, baseball/softball playing each team twice already 18 games scheduled, basketball will be the toughest but at least 9 games already set. Other sports not sure how big the schedule is but two less opponents to have to find now. This is not a knock on the SIAC’s AD’s, I think they do a great job but it does take some of the preasure off if them. That all being said I would still rather play in a conferance where I have no flexibility in my football schedule.

Once again if you think the SIAC went looking for Lincoln your crazy. Jasper needed another team to join with them when they were turned down and Lincoln was the team they called and they turned in the psperwork first. Once again I am a football guy all the way snd I can care less about the other sports but I actually think if the PAC does not require crossover games GS and HH will be in a better place with being able to schedule tougher teams if they choose where neither Jasper or Lincoln will make Reitz, Castle etc better

What I was hearing was no crossover games if you didnt want to. Example why would 1A TellCity and 2A South Spencer schedule 4A Boonville or even power house HH and GS.

Would much rather be able to schedule three tough non conference games than have a schedule of teams you already know everything about and are mediocore at best.

Enough about whos going where, whos staying put in the future. Lets start talking about 2019. Who wins 2019 SIAC, PAC snd the Big 8 for the last time?

Dont believe Jasper is the question here they were a no brainer. Think this has turned into more the debate between Lincoln and GS

Not sure I would agree wit that statement but that is what is good about this forum. I stiil dont think the SIAC is a great conference overall but it is a good conference. I would have rather seen it stay at 8

SIAC didnt need Lincoln, Jasper did. Jasper was not getting in without another team. I would be willing to bet that Jasper made the phone call to Lincoln initially not the SIAC.

Thanks, you abd Zi woukd get along good. I just want to see teams do what they can to get better
