Thankfully I don't live in one.
With Reynolds and her mama bears. A real bastion of critical thinking
My man, I hope you are getting professional help because you're next level positive energy thief.
5A is essentially the DSM suburbs. They should really just let the rest of the schools drop down into 4A and let the handful of DSM suburb schools have a round robin circle jerk and then crown a champ at the end of the year similar to how FBS conferences do it.
Bishop Garrigan is an impressive story. They lost their first game of the season against their rival, who did not even make the playoffs, in a game they had no business even being that close in defeat, and then a few weeks later began to dominate everyone they played, and then knocked off two of the top teams in 8-Man in the playoffs in defending state champ Remsen St. Mary's and CAM, Anita.
It's an astounding turnarond in such a short time frame to go from being a young middling team that could fight with similarly-skilled teams but would get beat by the upper eschelon teams with more skill and physicality, to just all of the sudden being able to dominate everyone with no additions to their roster.
It's like if you took Northwestern as they are right now..........and by the end of the year they roll Michigan in the B10 CG, and then Florida State and Georgia in the CFP all by 20 pts.
Nothing to see there.......

As a West Hancock grad I say F BGBishop Garrigan is an impressive story.

You have any idea how they managed to turn things around so quickly within the season?
I haven’t payed attention to them in football since they dropped to 8 man. It does kinda suck not playing them anymore though. We still have our rivalry with Garner but the WH/BG game was always a good one
WD is fine, the parents of every WD athlete is not.

A BIG FU to the iahsaa for their shitty tv package.
You can at least watch the girls stuff. $10 to watch a game. Wtf.

The IHSAA is fighting in court to make the games free, but I get it. They made their own bed with the shitty NBC sports coaches deal years ago when the IGHSAU figured it out a long time ago.
They should merge into one union and everyone at the boys unions should then summarily be fired.
I was wondering. Did a quick check last night at halftime of the women's game but didn't try too hard. So the games are not live streamed any longer for free? That sucks.
Not to mention the shitty money grab with bound. You can't pay at the door anymore, you are forced to buy online and pay an additional service fee of 20%.
Bound: found in Ames Iowa, I'm guessing someone in Boone has close ties. It's a shitty platform to use and navigate.
Not disagreeing with you, but for every person I hear complain about Bound, there's at least one or two that'll tell me, "Oh yeah I like it."............
I also think it's asinine and unnecessary to make Bound this all-encompassing thing where that is the site/app/whatever to purchase tickets, pay for parking etc etc for the sake of being....."modern".....but I think most people are just like, "Alright, f*** it, whatever." because the Union/Association are gonna do whatever they want regardless of public opinion or logic.
Csb, I actually liked QuikStats back in the day, and it took me a bit to get use to the change to Bound.
We are still doing cash entry at all events, but have looked into Bound since many schools are heading there. The crazy part is that for a $6 ticket Bound keeps $0.91 of that. It's a racket for them and I'd imagine some pockets at the state are getting lined.
That's a hilarious thing to say here. Lazy links, lazy assumptions, lazy predictions, assumed facts. All in what aligns and what's comfortable.
It amazes me Heelan is all the way down in 3A. That’s who we beat - Davenport Central- my sophomore year in high school for the big school state championship.here are the game times for the semi-finals, unfortunately there are no free live steams this year

Western Dubuque is a helluva team. 4A should be a good 'un. But in the end, Ol' Doodle, @cigaretteman, and several other regulars here certainly hope to be singing...
My nephew is a junior on the BG Golden Bear FB team and their key to success is largely running a lot of guys in and out, especially on defense which keeps them fairly fresh throughout the game. They’ve been in trouble a few times where they were down at half, including trailing yesterday 20-6 to WMU. But their opponents this season have tended to wilt in the second half (a lot of hands on hips and knees, slow to get up, etc) and Garrigan just keeps the same pace. They out scored WMU 28-0 after halftime yesterday. They have a lot of kids out with decent talent depth so that works very well for them. I think their coaching staff is very good at identifying the adjustments needed at halftime when things aren’t going their way.

I was thinking it had something to do with their defense.
Very few HS teams go from the season they had last year, to what they returned this year and get beat the way they did in the first game.......to completely turning into a different team erasing those weaknesses and being able to not only compete athletically with but best the top teams in the state whe that wasn't even in the Dame universe of a possibility after Week 1.
It's truly like if Minnesota all of the sudden wins out, beating Ohio State and not even in flukey fashion, but truly looks better than them, and then does the same to full strength Michigan, gets invited to the CFP and does the same to Texas or whoever in the semies, and then Georgia/Bama in the Finals.
That is what Garrigan is doing, and it defies all logic that can't simply be explain because "coaching adjustments"..................
F***ing coaching adjustments wouldn't make Iowa's talent on offense be able to rival the '99 Rams.
Just sayin.
I still root for LC because of Doodle!Western Dubuque is a helluva team. 4A should be a good 'un. But in the end, Ol' Doodle, @cigaretteman, and several other regulars here certainly hope to be singing...
No. Two of my buddies from HS have kids on the team. I'm from Dubuque. Grew up on a farm in that is close to WD.
