MDAlum82

This is factually incorrect, sorry. Depth & injuries are always a concern at MD just like they are at all other schools. Numbers do always equal talent, obviously. Certainly, the greater the numbers the more chance there is of a good player to replace a great one but numbers, in and of themselves, do not solve all ills.

Now I know where all those Busch Light cans I find in my yard come from.. 😎 All Hail Strike Force!

Link seems to accurate and now working:

Since I have been unable to actually attend a Mater Dei game this season and have never seen the Miners play, my non-expert, totally un-educated guess is MD 24-14. This is based entirely on my being an MD fan & admitted “homer” so take for as little as it is worth. Best of luck to both teams for a well-played and injury free game and may all fans travel safely. We have all had more than enough to deal with in 2020 already!

Looks like this will be another good game. Both teams are playing some of their best football and have improved over the last 6 games, or so. If I understand correctly, Linton plays on natural grass so field conditions could play a role. Weather is supposed to oblige, with little rain in forecast. So as long as field has not been torn up too much over course of season, playing conditions should not be a factor. Any idea if fans will be allowed or if game will be live-streamed on internet? Would love to be able to "see" this one, even we cannot attend in person.

Rematch btwn Central & Memorial looks to be one of best Sectional Championship games in state this week. Memorial is improving every week and the ghosts of the past might be catching up with the Bears. Hopefully Coultis can dissuade his players from the "selfish" penalties - his words, not mine - that plagued the Bears last year and ended their season earlier than expected. Disappointed to see Evans taunting the Boonville DB as he crossed the goal line last night. Until recently, he seemed able to avoid the more foolish impulses that often got the best of his older brothers. Central has more talent but a lack of discipline could cost them against a team like Memorial. I still like the Bears 31-17 but would not be surprised by an upset here.

Any chance this game will be live-streamed as well as carried on radio?

Yes, I forgot about the annual rush from East Side deaneries to leave 2 time State Champ Memorial to come play at MD...mea culpa

True. Loved how absolutely certain he was that Goebel was running the clock down and would go for it on 4th & 8...only to go quiet when FG team ran onto the field.

NK "homer" radio guy "goes there" with a comment about MD "getting players from all over Evansville" . wth?

Radio coverage is offline....

IMO, this is one of the most over-looked issues, esp. at Semi-State level in 1A, 2A, et al where one team can be forced to travel several hours to play. There are also complications that arise from the tradition of allowing Visiting team to pick game day/night while Home teams typically set start times. There has been a bit of gamesmanship in this regard over the years. Hopefully sites could be found that are reasonably travel neutral and have more equitable seating arrangements than typical high school fields provide, particularly on the Visitor's side. Some sites bring in extra seating but these are usually poor set ups. Turf should be a requirement too, to cope with potential weather issues.

OMG, Reality GID... has it come this this?

This is the second 40+ year streak broken by the Wildcats in 2020. The previous streak, one slightly more dubious, where the Wildcats had not won an SIAC game in over 40 years, went by the wayside earlier in the season with the opening game victory over Memorial

Appreciated the effort but the trio of young men doing the broadcast could use a bit more knowledge about the game of football. Let's just say that talking about "Jasper has the ball at their 52 yd line" was the least of their worries. Congrats to Jasper on a nice victory last night.

Any radio options for game audio?

Thanks for the info. I plan to tune in.

Anyone know if 14 will carry this online as their game of the week? Nothing on 14 website that I have seen so far.

Facebook Link to Mater Dei vs Central tonight: https://www.facebook.com/259338737607826/photos/a.260325880842445/1473513372857017/

If someone can swing me a ticket to see this one live, I can find a unicorn suit...no problem! Should be a great game.

Should be free at their website: tristatehomepage.com Google it and there should be a link. You can also download app from Roku,

MD AD mentioned most Evv area games will be streamed this season...apparently both WFIE & WEHT will carry local games. However, still no details yet on who is covering which games and where they can be found online. If anyone has that info, please post.

Going with Castle, Reitz, WILDCATS in an upset, Tigers & Lincoln.

Can't let my East Side cousin get one up on me...check is in the mail, Tango! Fingers crossed we get to play a little football this Fall!

The IHSAAtv site has been down all morning....yeah. Maybe NOT such a good idea to do an upgrade on THE DAY OF STATE FINALS...smh...
