Before Crossbones starts his weekly or weakly attempt at minimizing his beloved Raiders YTD accomplishments let’s keep in mind the home field parking lot advantage the Brook has taking on LWE at home this Friday. I don’t know how the Griffins can overcome this new look field in Bolingbrook. There you go...first of the sand bags are filled.
Sandbaggers Bowl Game

Yeah I think East should wear their all Black uniforms. We are visitors and need all the help we can get. Bones what say you?
Lol ref2
I am sure they were already thinking about what color they should wear. In all honesty I think this game will be tight and a struggle for East as the visitor. I am not sold on East’s d-line. They look very ordinary vs past years. I think East is still trying to find that true “leader” on the Defense. I think East will be get better as the season progresses but they are very young and with every game they gain experience and will improve by playoff time.
I see a 24-21 win for East but it will be a very good game.
What if this game ends 50-48 (winner does not matter).
Will it be dismissed as OK football?
It would be a fun entertaining football game but lack good defenses. This is HS football I get it and really in the grand scheme of things a W is what matters. All I am trying to say if you give up that many points it does show an area of weakness. Maybe they can fix the weakness maybe not? Who knows it’s HS football.

Well if that’s the case they should wear their black pants and blue jerseys? Lol
Unless that is also against the rules. If they wear all white, well that’s a huge dis-advantage .
Not fair. I say it moves the Griffins to underdog status. Playing away and having to play as a glow in the dark team on a black field gives the home team at least a 10 point advantage.
There were parking issues? The only time I ever had an issue with parking was opening night in 2004 against Lockport. Had to park in the neighborhood and walk over.
Was that the 06 playoff game? Yes these games used to be extremely competitive and entertaining. Now on the other hand I understand what a Proviso West or Stagg feels like when they have an unavoidable beating on the horizon. I'm just hoping we get through it in good health for week 5.
This could be “The Best of Bones” year... ranking right up there with the infamous “running of the Elephants game” to pull out a victory for LWE. I think you are setting the table nicely Crossbones. The Brook is good.period. I agree with the health side for all participants. 2 Brook injuries come to mind in this series. Health is key.
East up 10-3 at half. U is at the game but I think a Saturday delay broadcast. Brook playing well and has recovered two Griffin fumbles. East gets the ball to start the third. Field is not growing on me...reminds me of a 80’s black and gold Toyota.
Congrats. Not a sandbagger though. I said our D is better but offense is worse. AJ was everything you all needed him to be. I felt we had him down a few times and he just breaks the tackle.
McLaurin is a beast though. Good luck the rest of the way and hope your guys heal up for HF next week.
You'll probably not have to see it again with districts coming.
This was a decent game. Both teams will need to work on the offense to hoist the trophy at the end of the season though.
So far buddy I haven’t seen a team that doesn’t have some major issues so far....not a good year here I feel so far
