    Remember. This came out with 3 regular season games and the playoffs remaining.

    Putting a dome on top of Soldier Field is like putting the wrong cover on a Tupperware container.
    A dome on Soldier Field? Wonder if that would keep the Bears there.

    Is there any question that football is the king of high school sports? Huge crowds everywhere with huge student turnouts. Friday Night Lights are back

    The final race day and the final race at Arlington. Hit the trifecta. Nice way to end it.

    Sitting in my garage having a beer and a cigar celebrating the end of a wild and crazy high school sports season. In the last 19 weeks and two days I covered 85 live sporting events and 16 different sports. Thanks to all the AD’s, coaches and especially the players. It was fun.

    For those of us who cover high school football, Cary-Grove is far from underrated. They have won 4 state titles and finished 2nd twice since 2009. Two of those state titles came with wins over East St. Louis including a ESL team that featured Luther Burden.
    I’ve long been on the record that Cary-Grove as a program is the most underrated wagon in IHSA football. Just always sturdy as can be. Hoping it’s a year Pats can catch em though after a great win last week

    After watching Maine South and Loyola I am totally convinced that if Oles is healthy @PHS_Football wins a state title.

    Tomorrow my son @ViatorLion10 begins his dream when he starts med school. My thoughts and prayers are with you son. I know it has been a long journey. But the real work starts now. The world needs people like you. I know that your dedication will assist those who need it.

    Break out the cigars. There is a doctor in the house.
