    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    I'm going on what I've heard, which truthfully isn't a great way to judge and for what it's worth, I didn't have any issues with how they played at La Salle Friday. La Salle, on the other hand ... :ROFLMAO: Hopefully you're right and he's not following in those Highlands footsteps because...

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    If that's how it happened, that's fair. I don't like out coach acting like that. I'm sure there is more nuance to it considering Moeller's recent foray into not being very sportsmanlike in the old Highlands mold.

    This is pretty good.

    Elder Enrollment Strategy

    I guess it's more the presentation. "A westside institution for more than 100 years" is a pretty good thing to be able to say. But maybe do a little more than put the words on a purple background. Show me ... don't tell me.

    All this is true. But for all it costs, it’s pretty weak messaging.

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    Dale Mueller is the biggest d b a g coach I’ve ever seen coaching a football team. That checks out. I thought Pat M was super irritated with his team’s play. He walked over the Moe and shook hands. Or maybe he cussed them out and stormed off … but I know he went over there.

    Yep. Hopefully those boys get a second chance because they can definitely beat CovCath.

    Your freshman team is led in a sense by two guys who played on a terrible 1-8 team last year. I agree with 1965.

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    Yeah, I think Moeller is the favorite in DI for sure. That QB is a beast and just doesn’t seem to make many mistakes. On the other hand, I have no idea how that same sideline pass can be wide open the entire game. The front seven for LS is strong and does play hard. I do think they’ll compete...

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    I haven’t heard of the no-fly zone in like five years. It’s a little weird to gloat over some 15-18-year-olds playing a bad football game. With the exception of the likely teen in this thread who is very optimistic and loves his team, we’re all pretty realistic and rational about what we’re...

    LS offense just doesn’t work.

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    Why so bitter? "Little brother?" lol In fact, The Boy is deciding whether to use his second excused shadow day at Bacon or Elder. Probably Bacon since he's loathed Elder since kindergarten. We'll probably attend an open house there as well. My ex-wife and I know X and Moeller are absolutely...

    I feel like the games I’ve seen against them over the years, A LOT of kids, even on their rationally sized teams, spend the whole game on the sideline. That’s been the case a lot more than I would like throughout the years watching my kid’s games. I think the GCYL probably needs a playing time...

    Week 6: (5-0) Lasalle vs (4-1) Moeller

    It’s been an interesting 10 years, but a lot of the alumni rage was irrational. Not to say it was all great, but there has been a lot of hyperbole and silliness since Luebbe was fired. I didn’t agree with how the basketball situation went down at all, but I do have faith in the president and...

    Threatened is a weird way to put it. There is a lot around the league I’ve seen over the years that disappoint me. That’s a better word. Anyway, hopefully what you’ve posted is accurate. It’s awfully convenient how that has all worked out. I will say, at least they don’t have 50-man teams like...

    I guess when you're dealing with fourth graders, there is a not-zero chance one set of schools can be that bad and the other set that good. The one third-grade team is also 5-0. Reserves are the same way, but less discrepancy between results.

    Looking at the schedule for this weekend to see some friends kids play at Jude and I noticed this: CovCath has TWO all-fourth grade teams and an all third-grade team at the pony level. One fourth is 4-1 and the other is 0-5 having been outscored 24-0, 20-0, 36-8, 8-0 and 34-0. Yep, I'm sure...

    2024 Elder Freshman Football

    They were very, very bad last year, but they did win a game in 2023 and won a few over the years with the grade-school classes of 2024 and 2025 together. In fact, they were generally around .500 before varsity. Thank goodness for the Class of 2025. :) Glad to see a couple guys from that team...
