Was anyone able to watch games last week from outside the stadiums?  I'm wondering if I'll get ran off, trying to watch from the sidewalks at Northside.

Would you call this a traditional Dwenger team that seems to have multiple backs rather then the one big time running back?

 

Definitely by committee. The leading rusher has just over 500 yards. Two guys could easily be over 1,000 yards this season, but that isn't how they are being used.

Dwenger 14, Snider 7. Half

Since Jaylon has already been said, I'm gonna go with Vaughn Dunbar.

So, should we average the two?

In regards to Dwenger, I would say yes. Below Valpo, above Harrison. I don't know much about DC.

Dare I say they are now inflated?

Well, they are no more relevant today than they were Thursday....

Too bad a good performance by Homestead on the field is overshadowed by an absolutely disgusting display by their student section. I hope some of them in the pics and vids are over 18.

And the staring center, at least 2 more O linemen, and the second leading rusher (700+ yards). And last year's leading rushing is spending most his time at LB so far this year. 

Lots of new faces have to step up.

Dwenger had huge losses to graduation last year, on O and D. Not a huge number, but a huge impact. We will see where they are Friday.

Too early, the lot is still full from school and other practices. Get there between 4:35 and 4:45 and you should be good.

Clay is probably 1 mile away from the Michigan state line, and Howe has got to be pretty close to that as well.  Does Howe have a football team?

Howe closed at the end of last school year. They stopped playing football 5 years ago or so.

Overall it was great. The atmosphere was electric. Maybe a little too much so as the Saints took about a quarter and a half to settle in. 

Everything seems to be functional, but there is still a little work to do. Construction fences are still up, and I'm not sure but it didn't look like the walkway to the visitors side is finished. 

I thought parking would be tight, and it was. I was lucky to find one campus at 6:10. It looked like the elementary school was full and I could see people parking at the strip mall. I don't know if the strip mall is "approved" parking or how full it was. It's going to be crazy when Homestead shows up.

I've heard that temporary seating will be set up on the visitors side. It will be needed for Homestead and Carroll.

@Rodney Please stop.

@NLCTigerFan07 You are correct. I meant Valpo; I had Warsaw on the brain while typing. Thanks for the tagging instructions.

So, I'm trying to understand why Valpo moved down to 5A after having enough success points to stay in 6A after winning regional??

I'm pretty sure they were 6A based on enrollment. When it looked like Snider was in 5A this year, Warsaw was the smallest 6A school, except for Columbus East. So when Snider went back up, Valpo went down.

I think he already explained where the chirping came from, if you missed it...scroll up. 

OK. Seems like a pretty low bar for a 6 month old chirp. lol

No one's underestimating anyone,  well except maybe Dwenger underestimating every 5A team in the north with all their chirping.   And there was no underestimating in 2015 either, the more talented team won that day.  That was probably Snider's best team. 

What chirping? The Saints aren't thinking about anyone outside the SAC for the next 2 months.
