Will it ever end with Notre Dame?

Everyone knows about the studies showing Notre Dame is the most overrated program year after year. Tonight even though Georgia trashed them, we still have to watch them play Michigan with a #8 ranking.

4th quarter, 7 minutes left, they just went over 100 yards of offense on the night. Michigan 38-7. The same Michigan that went to OT with Army. The same Michigan that got destroyed by Wisconsin who got demolished by OSU.

get ND off of tv. They don’t deserve the free recruiting all the networks provide them. And If they are still in the top 20 it’s a travesty.

Passing of a Coaching Legend

The coaching fraternity lost another legend. Former long time Chillicothe coach Bob Fairchild has died at the age of 87.
I could fill this website with Coach Fairchild stories, but will leave just this one little known fact.
Prior to the start of Fairchild's senior year at Chillicothe high school, the district made a coaching change. Fairchild loved the coach that moved on and stayed in touch with him through the years.
The new coach struggled and Fairchild's senior year was filled with ever changing line ups and struggles. The team finished 0-6-3 in 1949. I always coached to ask Coach if the struggle of not winning a single game his Senior year stayed with him, and helped him become the hall of fame coach. To this day, Chillicothe has won at least one game or more, ever since that 1949 disappointment
Rest in peace, Coach, You built a program and shaped a generation of football players.

Why don't parents go to games?

A trend I have noticed the past several years is declining and sometimes non-existent parent attendance at football games. In the recent CR scandal, Bill Jackson's mom said she wasn't at the game in Chicago where "Marvin Burkes" played. It is pretty common to see visiting teams with more players and staff on the sidelines than fans in the stands, even when most opponents are an hour or less away.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Brandon Gregory quotes

What’s been surprising during this past few days is the justifications ... the excuses... and explanations for Gregory’s actions.

Other teams cheat, too.

The fight was last year, why should it affect this year’s team?

What’s the big deal — Jackson is on the team.

Coaches push the limits — Bill Belichick was fined for illegally videotaping opponents, and he’s considered the greatest coach ever.

“What the coach did was wrong, even if you feel like you can get away with it,” said Vincent Rucker Sr., whose son is a sophomore in the Ritter football program. “But I just want to say, I played in high school, and I played (youth football). Things that he did, I’ve seen. I’m not trying to make an excuse for him, but I’ve seen things like that. I’ve seen a coach actually go to jail and bail a kid out so he could play in a big game. This was in St. Louis.

“This whole situation is just heartbreaking for the kids.”

Question for the Board!

I would like some feedback on what type of suspension is appropriate for an athlete who has an alcohol/drug infraction. I know there are several different policies on this topic. Personally, I think it should be a 365 day suspension from all extra-curricular activities. What do you guys/gals think?
