    Week VIII CCL Pick 'Em

    I can’t believe I’ve remembered to do this all 8 weeks. Mentioning it pretty much locks in a forgetful Friday next week. Depaul Prep (+40.5) Marist (-21.5) Loyola (-27.5) Mt. Carmel (-34.5) Benet (+35.5) St. Pats (+29.5) Montini (-36.5) Notre Dame (+18.5) Carmel (-42.5) Providence (-41.5) St...

    Mike Ditka RIP

    Sweetness also passed during Packers week. A few days later, a lousy Bears team blocked a FG as time expired to upset a much better Packers squad. Maybe we’ll get some divine intervention this Sunday too.

    Mike Ditka RIP

    My first job ever was at Ditka’s O’Hare, making Home Run Inn pizzas in a little kitchen off the bar. I did the coat check and the gift shop too. And during Bears games, they let me play music during the commercials. I was in high school. He was very nice and to us and generous with his...

    MSL West Whaaaa???

    Wow! I chose Northwestern on TV instead of Palatine @ Schaumburg. All the talk of how “amazing” this teeny little stadium is makes me want to slam my head into a brick wall. I should’ve touched grass tonight. But, but, but…. the students are STANDING! 🙄

    If the Playoffs began this Friday. Class by Class Brackets

    The guy who used to do this every week accounted for that and pulled the 3rd place teams out of the Outlook.

    Week VII CCL Pick 'Em

    Mt. Carmel (-30.5) Brother Rice (-28.5) Carmel (+17.5) Loyola (-27.5) St. Rita (-39.5) Nazareth (-41.5) Montini (-41.5) St. Francis (-35.5) St. Pats (+12.5) Marmion (+28.5) DePaul (+12.5) Benet (+34.5)

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    I think if you recover two onsides, convert two 2-point-conversions, pickup a crucial 3rd-and 20, and then force a punt when it matters, you can’t call it gift-wrapped for Rita. To me, that sounds like a solid 2nd half game plan and excellent execution. Kudos to the Mustangs. Frustrated...

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    I wasn’t there Wassup, and I didn’t hear that he got hurt. My sister and nephew went. She would miss something like that. I stayed home with the fam so I can go out tomorrow night. lol.

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    The Daily Herald covered it, so I’m sure that reporter will post the stats at some point. From the texts I was getting, sounds like it was a whole lot. Lol.

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    I’m with you, Louie. They have a lot of nice players, but they’re not as deep as they were the last two years and the defense is definitely not what it was. Specials have been driving me crazy for five years watching these guys. And the little QC stuff like punting with two minutes left...

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    No magic this time. Thriller in Lombard, and a great comeback by Rita.
  12. Catch-22

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    Down 1 with 3 minutes to go has been Izzy time for the last 2+ seasons. Let’s see if he can do it again. I should’ve walked over an hour ago.
  13. Catch-22

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    My sister in the bleachers and the DH reporter on Twitter both say the Montini D is gassed. Rita recovered 2 consecutive onside kicks. 18-0 run for the Mustangs.
  14. Catch-22

    St. Rita 39 at Montini 38 Final

    I’m definitely a homer Louie, and I’ve attended 3 times this year…. We hold a lot. I’m not there tonight. Listening to the halftime booms from 6 blocks away. But my guess is that we’re probably holding.
