Daily Dose: Feb. 23 - State!

I have a question - why are the most important IHSA state events so far down south? I know, I know, the charm of "going to state" is getting on the bus, staying in a hotel, etc etc.

Who knows, maybe the IHSA has tried to bring football and basketball up north and they can't find the right fit, but wouldn't it be sweet to see state football at Soldier Field (which may happen once they wise up and put FieldTurf in there), or even Northwestern.

I'd love to see hoops at the United Center...I've even heard good things about the new Sears complex out in Hoffman Estates...
