I couldn't agree more. There should be a thread for each conference. Like you said it draws people in and gets people interested wether there from the conference or not.. I personally feel the Northern Illinois big 12 never gets credit for the strength of their conference. Especially this year which is the last year that they will be together which is quite upsetting.. my kids go to kaneland high school. And I think we have an unbelievably tough schedule. Dekalb, Sycamore, Yorkville, Sterling, Morris and Rochelle. Not to mention in the beginning of the year we played Hinsdale South and Rich Central. we also played Geneva who is generally a tough team but are having a down year this year. When I get time later I will start up that thread. This week is our homecoming and we have DeKalb. We also got picked for the Friday flyover from channel 7... I see we dropped out of the top 10, which is kind of expected. Sterling is a top-notch program and and we needed to not turn it over against them to win. If you ever make it out to Kaneland I'll buy you a pork chop sandwich.. I thinkI think we. The best brats and pork chops sandwich... Thanks and keep up the good work
