State Games postponed??
- Thread starter Saints7078
- Start date
If you want a game tomorrow, send them another 4 hours south. And play in Carbondale. Yes, I know what I am saying. But that would be the only way. Macomb to the Wisconsin state line is supposed to get hammered.
You would think with all the Catholic Schools and young Catholic students who attend Mass regularly -) Why not just do it on Sunday starting at Noon when snow is done. Just go to early service. Hate for those young men to miss Mass.
Actually, ESL's conference won't let the games be played.
Hey they finally figured out a way to keep ESL from winning 6A.
Per IHSa website
Due to the Winter Storm Warning issued by the National Weather Service for Central Illinois, including the Bloomington-Normal area—calling for 5 to 12 inches of heavy snow, strong winds, hazardous roads, and potentially impossible travel—the IHSA has postponed all Saturday Football State Championship games (Classes 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A). This storm is expected to create dangerous conditions on roads, bridges, and overpasses, with the potential for power outages. The safety of student-athletes, coaches, officials, and spectators remains our highest priority.

November 21, 2015 it snowed 7 inches in the greater Chicago land area with total snow accumulation of 11.2 inches measured at O'Hare. There was no cancellation or postponement of the CG vs Glenbard West game. The game was played in those conditions and rightfully so (look it up on youtube). Nobody then cared about travel, potential power outages, or strong winds. Now official statements hide behind the guise of safety. Safety, safety, safety, has become the new tool of social conformity because its a point that can't be argued against. If you say anything then the reply is "well don't you care about being safe". Just like my car, yeah, sure it would be safer with a roll cage, a hans device, and a fire suit. At some point "safety" is overkill and that's just what we are seeing here. Time to go bubble wrap my kids and lather them up with purell.
They got his meds right!Touchette……. @MC63 didn’t realize you that have a humorous bone in your body.
You mean a humerus bone? Sorry,, tooo chap a joke.Touchette……. @MC63 didn’t realize you that have a humorous bone in your body.
A cold Stella and a Payday.
That’s why I posted the George Carlin video, if you want “to be safe, and go home!” Go play baseball. I’ll certainly bet the over on People being out shopping in these hazardous conditions tomorrow. Perhaps JD should close the state at midnight to keep everyone safe from themselves!
Payday!! I said Clark bar the other day… my bad.
Sweet and salty Payday with a crisp, cool pilsner = GREAT combo!
Any keyboard warrior tough guys want to rent a bus tomorrow and drive I-55 and video document your journey on here? Yeah didn't think so. Sit down and shut up. IHSA makes a decision based on player and fans safety and you're ripping them apart. There's more to life than your little precious Saturday being messed up. They'll replay the games in a few days. Does it suck? Yes. Is it the right call? Yes. So stupid this is even a debate on here.
Not judging either way, but are you a bottle guy or do you go all out with a chilled chalice?
Guess you don’t remember semis in 2015, I’ll send video of my drive tomorrow on I57. I also drove to Stowe VT last weekend to ski so I guess I’m not afraid of snow and ice.
Let me make this perfectly clear for you...my best friend's kid was going to be on one of those busses tomorrow to cover the game for his school paper. Good for you that you are not afraid of snow and ice. I was worried about him because I actually care about kids and others personal safety. Not sure what the weird flex is for you on this topic by saying that you're so tough by driving in snow. Try it on a school bus full of kids. LIke I said this shouldn't even be a debate.
As if that's the only risky thing anyone you care for (twice removed) will do tomorrow. Illogical.
Yeah it's soft to try and make sure there isn't a major fatal accident on a highway. You got me tough guy...I'm so soft.
I have heard that based on the amount of catholic schools that are scheduled to play as well as Jordan Lynch inflammatory comments…. That the teams all might be awarded a state title abs the games might not be rescheduled!!!!
Off topic love Stowe. Amazing skiing. Always try and grab a Vermonter at Harrison’s when I’m there.
This will piss some of you off but next Saturday is the CCL schools entrance exam and I'm sure the school reps would need to be there for that.
