" I think what Justin meant was the post-season, and I am in agreement with him. "

" To indygrad: Leave the conference and go where? You would have no choice but to become independent and then getting enough games for a nine game schedule is a nightmare. You obviously understand nothing about the administrative side of high school sports. "

" looking at the less than impressive records of the majority of Big12 (11) teams, saying that BHS has one of the best defenses in the Big 12 isn't really much of a statement. There are only four maybe five teams in the Big12 (11) that are playoff caliber. Of those NCHS, I believe won pretty handily. In games against other playoff caliber teams BHS struggled to beat West and Centennial. If holding 2-6 and 0-8 teams to seven points means BHS has a great defence then I guess they have a great defense. "

" bloomington has the ability and the players to go very deep in the play off's. but really the one thing stopping them from domintating is the offensive line. if they can establish an offensive line and stick with down field blocks they can open a whole nother ball game down the road. it seems to me from watching that they have more trouble run blocking than pass blocking. if they can sustane blocks downfield look for them to cause trouble in the playoff's. but their defense on the other hand......hands down is one of the best defense's in the big 12. good game to both teams last night! "

" I posted this over at the NCHS site. Don't you BHS and West fans feel its time to leave the Big 12(11) Conference. 75% of the teams offer little more than a scrimmage. The only loses that B/N teams have are to each other and occasionally Centennial. How do the teams get playoff ready when they play teams that offer no competition. With 11 conference teams there is no opportunity to schedule quality non-conference opponents. Scrap the Big 12, call it the Big Three occasionally Big Four and the once in a while the Big 5. "

" why would they play in the offseason? obviously a west graduate talking that nonsense. "

" Had West not fumbled, they would have won the game hands down. BHS only scored on those key fumbles, and I can guarantee that if we see them in the off-season, West will win. One more thing, note how BHS never was able to get a decent drive going. "

" CmonCoach needs a serious reality check. Despite the closeness of the game between BHS & NCWHS, how many teams in high school football could dominate the first half of a football game against a state-ranked opponent based on the following facts: "We had guys out of position. We had a quarterback who hadn’t taken a snap in five weeks and we were without our best running back". What other excuse(s) are you looking for? Those seem pretty valid to me. Here's another one for you: Did you notice our starting long-snapper and center weren't playing in the game either? Hats off to West for playing through team adversity. Hats off to BHS for making a comeback. "

" "We had guys out of position. We had a quarterback who hadn’t taken a snap in five weeks and we were without our best running back". Um coach, we looked awesome with that first 21 points. From the stands, the 1st half it looked like none of those things were a factor. How did we get turned around after halftime? We hung in there with NCHS, we blasted BHS the first half. We need a different excuse then those. To BHS, great game. The team who wanted it more came out on top. To both schools, it was a pleasure to watch. I love highschool football, your keeping it real!!

" Go ironmen "

" Darrelyn Dunn is the best sophomore in the state "

" Way to go Bloomington Raiders! You came out after halftime and showed great heart and determination. You made us proud to be Purple Raiders. "
