The Tigers remain undefeated after an defensive battles against Mater Dei. Central came up big and blanked Reitz, making a statement.

When is the last time MD was only a 1 point favorite over North and Harrison the favorite over Reitz?

I heard today Memorial kicked some players off due to code of conduct violation.  Any info on this?

His post starts off with "I heard today" and your question is when did you hear this? Do you want to know the exact time of day or can he just round to the nearest hour.

Typical referee's sense of humor.  I believe the original poster was simply implying that he doubted the authenticity of the rumor.

Public source?

I think this is just an unfounded  rumor because if we have, our coach wasn't aware of it when I talked to him after seeing these posts on my way back from the Colts game in Nashville yesterday afternoon.  We do have a random screening policy that all students are subject to as a condition of enrollment and the first random tests of the 2019-2020 school year were Friday.  As background, my sophomore son was selected last year in the spring and the email we received notifying us that our son was randomly selected also said it would take 2 weeks before we were notified of the results.  My recollection is that it didn't take that long, but it was a week or so before we learned the results were negative.  I believe Mater Dei has the same policy.  I'm curious though, do any other SIAC schools have a similar random screening policy?  

[tango]

I'll take...

North, Central, Reitz and Memorial. 

I expect the North / MD game to be the best game of the week in the SIAC.

What is the consequence of a positive test?

[Screagle]

even though these are done randomly with confidentiality the code of conduct applies. Nicotine is included in the test.

I believe the 1st offense is sitting 20% of the season (which I'm not sure how they calculate when it applies to other extra-curricular activities).   I can't remember if 2nd offense is 1 year or 1 season.  3rd offense is death by honey and fire ants.  The policy is stupid because it is not applied consistently across all schools in the conference.  Plus,  kid who does nothing at at school can't be punished because there is nothing to take away.

Yeah...that doesn't seem fair.

North vs MD.  Team with better night vision wins. Going from midfield towards the locker rooms is like playing sandlot after dark.

Good.  I thought it was just me last week.

Final Scores 

24-14 Memorial over Bosse 

45-27, Mater Dei over North 

49-6, Reitz over Harrison 

38-7, Central over Castle 

Any thoughts of the games? Memorial struggled offensively the whole night against Bosse, but Bosse did fight one hell of a game. 2 tough games for Memorial coming up the next 2 weeks, at Reitz and playing Central home. 

[Evansville50]

Able to watch Memorial the last two weeks.  Well coached club, but they just don’t have the horses this year. Central will win by 14 plus. North RB might be the most explosive player in city.  Bosse should take applications for a new offensive line coach. How is Harrison so incompetent? Large student body, athletes, no excuse for what they have become. Considering what they were under Coach Marsh. Just a down year over all in the SIAC. Maybe MD, and Gipson Southern can make a run.

Gibson, not Gipson.  And what does them moaking a run have to do with the SIAC?  Just wondering.

And large student body?  At 1250 only Bosse and Central have a smaller enrollment than Harrison in the SIAC, of the public schools.

Central’s is relatively close Memorial and MD are around half. They compete almost every year at the top. I don’t know exact numbers, I’m sure you will let me know since you are the grammar/ typo police. No excuse for Harrison to be this bad year after year.

MD is around 500 and Memorial is 600.
