Thank you. I so appreciate it and your post here.

Just got off the phone with my son — he said BR is going to destroy St. Charles North on Saturday.  That is the mentality of the entire BR team.  They don’t give a f***, and think they can destroy every opponent put in front of them.

IHSA playoffs should be aired statewide on cable.  All the way through, not the last couple games.  I shouldn’t have to subscribe to something I won’t touch for another year to watch it.

also, maxpreps shouldn’t be the only place I can get game and team info

They should put a tape on of Fremd around 2017 BR #1 in state and lost round 1 or Barrington 2016 (up 21 starting 4th and lost).  There is a lot of history to Brother Rice not living up to expectations and doing themselves in.  Its kind of a southside tradition hand in hand with the White Sox.   

I think their current guy is different.  We shall see.

SCN is no joke had has as good a football history as BR.

MC and BR can't broadcast for free this week on Youtube because of WCIU and NFHS.  The NFHS broadcasts are worse in most cases than the student run.

Schools offloading to maxpreps is dumb as well.

Yep.  I had to order a month of the NFHS Network to watch some games and the feeds are either great with announcers or absolutely terrible with no announcers.

That's wild.  The first two rounds are free in Indiana and anyone can also broadcast just by asking.  Heck we are calling our Regional Championship tonight.  The exclusivity stuff kicks in next week with Semi-State (final four for each class) and then with State.

I ordered a month of NFHS Network for $14 bucks.  You can then cancel it immediately so you are only charged for a month.  When I went to cancel mine, it offered me a second month for only $1 dollar.  So it isn’t a bad deal ($15 bucks) for the entire playoffs.  The lamest thing ever is that you can only stream from a single device at a time, so I am not able to play two different games at the same time.

Anything can happen, but confidence is a good thing.  Ego is not.  But this BR team is playing hard from start to finish and not taking anything for granted.  They have blown out their first two playoff opponents and have yet to allow a point.

Graduated from there.  Batavia won 42-27, will play winner of Hersey/ St Rita 

Nice.  I went to Fenwick.  Batavia is going to destroy Rita.  There has been zero defense in this Rita @ Hersey game.  56-42 final.

Meanwhile, Mount Carmel dominating as usual…

Agreed, we have lost some big ones. However ... we're gonna find out like you say. Coach Q may be different. We indeed will see. One game at a time. hope we don't overlook St. Chuck North with Downers next week looming.

BR domination.  42-18 final.  Downers Grove North at Brother Rice next week.

whoa ... nice win. glad we get the home game. should be the biggest crowd in rice history unless some of those games at Gately were more as well as some Prep Bowls in soldier field.
