This does not include transfers. Illini have 5 or 6 transfers coming in again this year. Transfers were big last year so hopefully the guys this year make a difference like last year. There are also a few guys coming off injury who can make a big impact. Doesn't change the fact they're dead last. N...

Standings with 1 game remaining

Washington 11-2
Pekin 10-3
Morton 9-4
Metamora 8-5
Limestone 6-7
East Peoria 5-8
Canton 2-11
Dunlap 1-12

Believe Wash is 10-2 with 2 games remaining (Canton on Tuesday, EP next Friday)

Bernstein is saying that they forced him out. The bonus might have been his “please go away” bonus. Would not be surprising. Pretty pathetic if there is truth to the allegation he ignored the warnings he got from his staff and AD about Auston Robertson. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/coll...

IMO, which really is that, Metamora should go outside and get someone who will change the whole dynamics of the team. After 32 years if I were a fan I just might want to see something else. However I also am inclined to believe that the administration will not go outside the district to name the ne...

Thoughts?

Bad officiating regardless, at some point the chirping has to stop. It apparently didn't. Bad image for the school(s) and the IHSA. Embarrassment comes to mind

Did I see correctly? Morton scored 15 in one game? Yikes

It always happens, recruiting is real and happens all the time. i have no dog in this fight, but is it actual "recruiting" or just player movement? i ask because there's a difference. It always happens, recruiting is real and happens all the time. i have no dog in this fight, but is it actual "recr...

Despite what we sometimes think, the coaching in the league is pretty darn good. The opposition has a year + of game film on Nagy play calling. It's also pretty obvious that Nagy has stressed the importance of MT staying in the pocket and the result he has taken away the very thing that MT did well....

Pekin gets Thorton Harvey in first round. Whoever wins that one will go home in second round after meeting up with Nazareth from La Grange. I know a little about Nazareth - they have an incredible QB who is JJ McCarthy. He's going to Michigan next year - some incredible video of him I believe McCar...

I don't know what to think of the game against KC. While they have some dynamite play-makers, the Chiefs have some key players either out, or significantly hobbled. This is the type of game McCarthy led teams typically dirtied their pants. On the road, slight favorite. Past history it has been a rec...

Recall EP Maniac....

Think that was the name. Oh my

A Hicks put on IR today. Big, big loss

Fire Kirby Smart ? His team lost today to a 20 pt dog....at home no less. I'm sure Georgia fans are saying some of this but it sets the program back YEARS...unless one has someone one who can come in win em all. Doesn't happen

and...... Wisky seems to be pretty good

Can’t believe Illinois is within 3. Looked liked it was going to be a 50 blowout early. I am Not normally a "fire the coach!" single game , knee j**k reaction type of guy, but if Illinois comes back from 28-0 to win this game then Harbaugh should be the "former Michigan head coach" when the plane t...

Tough to compete in the East

Umps zone is flavor of the month. Super inconsistent

Somewhat agree but many of the bullpen walks were, walks. Can't do that. 2 to 1 game took 4hours. Brutal. Just brutal

Boy Redbird, I don't know. Eli is not that much of an upgrade (a little I agree) and plus he would have to learn a whole new system...interesting thought but if the Bears did something like that, in my opinion the QB would have to be a better QB than Eli at this stage... I agree it is tricky. My th...

I wasn't able to attend the Washington-Belleville (West) game the other night. Sounds like quite the game/finish. Can someone who was at game, fill me/us in how a team who could not score a point in 6 quarters(shutout against Sycamore game 1), somehow score 30+ in next 2? What the heck did they do d...

Well one QB today who did worse than Trubisky was Jameis Winston - 46 QB rating, 1 TD and 3 INT....Baker Mayfield wasn't so hot either - 64 QB rating, also 1 TD and 3 INT, which is funny because Mayfield had ripped Trubisky a few weeks ago for not being a good QB.... I may have been sleeping but I ...

The big unknown for all of us(the general fan who doesn't understand it) is salary cap. Trubisky is in 3rd year of rookie contract and will be looking to get "paid" after this year, if he even has a marginally good year. Can you hear what Dak Prescott is talking number wise?. Having said that, Mitch...
