So a couple high end high school football games this weekend with Jay Condon.

Miss Contact Football is off after a big win this past weekend and overtime 33-32 over Upper Iowa and homecoming football up at Curly Stadium.

again to get professor mr billis bro good morning bill how's it going down in your neck of the woods in a beautiful bright area

another good weekend lots of nfl football and uh... to see what i thought for a little bit about hl training camps and uh... they really start last week so uh... things are i guess winter's coming because uh... and hl training camps have started and hockey season is really just a couple weeks away

and sad news to build on your way to try was officially eliminated from playoff contention

They really faltered down the stretch.

You mentioned NFL football.

The lines are one-in-one.

The Packers are one-in-one.

A lot of injuries this past week in a football game.

Dad knows a Washington.

Elbow was sideways.

Like I said, for years, frail quarterbacks don't last in the NFL.

Caleb Williams at the Bears, a hamstring injury.

That's gonna be, that's not as bad as they thought it was.

But before I get to the training camps, Bill, what's the move down there in Detroit about the Detroit Lions with, again, their Achilles heel to last four or five years has been their defensive backfield.

And let's face it, they were doomed last week no matter who played Buffalo, and Buffalo's season opener up their new stadium was in tough.

And the Lions defense, they gotta tighten up that back end, don't they?

I think some of the excitement is kind of waved after the Buffalo game, but still optimism.

They played the Jets this weekend here in Detroit, so it'll come back.

As you said, the Tigers are done.

This weekend, they're celebrating Brulander and hoping he's going to finally pitch a game this summer.

I'm disappointed he didn't pitch more this year.

Well, I don't know who's disappointed.

I know I'm not, because everybody knew this was just the token signing.

He's been with three, four games in the last three, four years.

He's at the Under the Road.

Neat love story, great way to end your career.

But people who thought he was going to contribute this year, I mean, it was nice.

He gets to go full circle, but people are thinking that he was a commander and be a difference maker.

I mean, that's got a face reality and good for Hall of Famer and good for Detroit to give him a cat.

exit to start second to last game in a season.

Well, Bill Hockey training camp is underway.

Detroit with the interim GM was in Hork Hop.

The Larkin, the dark rainy cloud hangs over the team.

He's still not reporting on specified injury.

But training camp, Bill, Red Wings, especially, I know they used to be at Traverse City for many years.

They pulled the plug on that a couple years ago.

I was unaware, Bill, to you, Tommy, last week that they had training camp at one point.

One of my favorite ice rinks, the Polner and Sue St.

Marie.

Tell us about that little

stint.

uh... the uh... train camps uh... started this uh... last week uh... uh... and the uh... uh... the red rings are back at little feces arena they nearly they've been at uh... trevor city for thirty years but they've returned to their old their old spot uh... uh... home play and really that's the trend now uh... all the uh... teams are back at their home rinks uh... you know they may go out for a day or two someplace but they're back at their home rinks uh...

The rookies and some prospects reported and hit the prospects tournament at Little Caesars last weekend or a couple weekends ago.

Four teams came in, played a few games.

preseason now the uh... actually the first uh... preseason game for the Redlands was last night they played Columbus uh... and another interesting game last night was the uh... craft pockyville game they played in Canada they're not held in the u.s.

anymore remember a few years ago when it was in Calumet but uh...

last night's game was in three rivers, Quebec, Montreal versus Ottawa.

So the training camps are a little different than the old days.

In the old days, the hockey players had second jobs in the off season and the summer was time for rest.

And training camps were just to bring back the old team and have a good time, just kind of getting shape of that.

They were told to bring golf clubs and they reconnect.

They had head games.

But as mentioned, the Red Wings were held their training camp every September since 1997, except for the COVID year, so it's almost 30 years.

But as I said, the Red Wings actually held their training camp in Sioux, Michigan for 11 years.

1948 to 1958 at the Polar Stadium.

The players would stay at the Iroquois Hotel, which since then torn down, is across the street from today's Ojibwe Hotel, right close to the Sue Locks.

The Red Wings, kind of like the Polar Stadium, was a great arena.

It had artificial ice, had pretty good train service to Canada, and at the time there were six teams, and really all the players were from Canada.

That's good hockey fans in, in some Michigan as they still do.

I know you've, uh, the Polar Stadium, great arena.

You know, you've broadcast and visited the Polar many times and a little history.

It opened in 1939 and, uh, had artificial ice, right?

From old me.

It's a major, major renovations a few years ago.

Uh, you probably are aware of his name back there.

Sophie Poehler.

She died in 1938 at 88.

She had a dairy farm.

The family had a dairy farm and property investment in Michigan and Florida, but they had no children.

In her will, she said $70,000 would be given to the city or home for the elderly or a community center.

And the community center ended up being a Poehler Stadium.

As you know, it's the host to Blue Devils.

The two Indians had a senior hockey team in the fifties there.

They had some junior hockey there.

They're still playing some junior hockey in the Northern Ontario League.

And Lake Superior State College played there for 10 years when they started the program in 1966.

I actually was a student at Lake Spear State College in 1966.

When the program started with Ron Mason, I actually worked on a design funny cartoon about the drunken sailor and actually made a paper mache head of the drunken sailor.

that appeared in a few games in that 66-67 season.

And lots of concerts at the Polar Stadium over the years, so Gordon Lightwood did some in the late 60s.

Actually, Super Michigan was known in the 50s and 60s as Hockey Town USA, before kind of Detroit is kind of the hockey town.

It was pretty good years for the Red Wings when they were in Sioux, Michigan.

They actually won four Stanley Cups, 1950, 52, 54, and 55, and lost in the finals a couple of times.

Um, and then in 59, they moved their training camp back to Detroit.

Um, and then for a number of years before they moved to Traverse City, they, they had the camps in, you know, they would change around, but they, they were in Portier in one summer.

They were in Kalamazoo, they're in Flint.

Um, they, they were at the Kobo Hall in Detroit.

Uh,

one summer too so it's uh and the the order of the wings at the time was Norris and uh and so the James Norris Center at Lake Spear State University is a complex and the arena is the taffier taffierable arena so it's uh lots of links uh with uh Norris to uh to michigan and soap

kind of an interesting story, but the cutback on the number of preseason games, the new collective bargaining agreement has put in certain restrictions, but this year the Red Wings only play four preseason games, said last night was the first one, and the regular season starts in...

For the Red Wings, on October the 2nd, they're home against the Rangers.

And actually, the NHL starts next Tuesday is when the NHL season actually starts.

So winter is coming.

In the old days, spring training, or the full camps didn't start until mid to late October.

The season was much shorter, but came across fun stuff.

as the recent the old camps and but today the players come in they're pretty good shape they're ready to play there's not many openings on the team and lots of assistance you look back in the early camps when the Red Wings there's only the one coach and they would actually play several preseason games at neutral sites now now most everybody is just playing in the home arena I think there's only a couple of

teams that have got some neutral site games this year.

So the NHL training camp has changed.

It's quite different, Jimmy, but kind of fun stories.

Look back to Sue Michigan and the Polar Stadium.

Well, Bill, you mentioned the Sue Blue Devils.

I know they pull out of the Polar.

I want to say six, seven years ago, they got stuck in some political battle.

Because the Polar, as we know, is city-owned, but the local casino offered to host the Sioux Blue Devils Games, which basically, which is at the time, left.

And the casino offered Sioux High School, I think, $3,000 or $4,000 a year for their sports department if they moved out.

I know that kind of was a little ripple effect, because the city didn't really care for that.

They were one of their bigger vendors, so they were a little bit of both the Polar.

Oh, Bill, just in about a minute or so,

with the NHL post-COVID changing their preseason itinerary is that the main reason the Red Wings pulled out of Traverse City you think or is there some other reason that happened?

I think really what's happening now is that the teams are pretty well set and then they can use all the training facilities at their at their own arena.

And I think that's what's happened to all of them now, is that rather than load everybody up and head off someplace else, they can use all their training facilities, their medical help, equipment stuff, it probably gets down to a cost.

So they don't have to be traveling all over the place and bringing everyone and stay in different spots.

So that, I think that's what's happened.

And we're taking everybody that way now.

The medical and the training facilities available at their own home rinks or or their You know one in there in the same city of right has changed so much now and the red wings have a You know, they've got their practice rink and then the main rink at the little Caesar So it's a pretty impressive facility at the little Caesar for the red wings

And it makes sense to like you mentioned for all the above reasons you got everything right in your back pocket

And although that was a huge loss for the Traverse City economy, they spent two, three weeks there, and I know people just love going from up here.

I know a lot of people go down and just watch that for the diehard Red Wing fans.

But you know, at this day and age, everyone wants to be, and it makes more sense, like you mentioned, even NFL training camps, not long ago, a lot of teams would go to different states and have training camps, but now everything's right in-house.

But things definitely change over the years with

with that whole dynamic.

What do you see in the Red Wing this year, Bill?

Obviously, Goal 10 is still an issue.

Obviously, they didn't... What I've seen, they didn't get much in the free-agent market, the lame duck GM all summer.

Defensively, Cider is a bona fide number one.

I don't know what they have after him.

A lot of Red Wing fans and a lot of hockey people think this franchise is somewhat in turmoil.

Do you agree with those type of people, Bill, or do you see this in a different light?

Because there's a lot of conflicting reports.

What actually is going on inside that room?

It's really tough with this Dylan Larkin situation and how all that ended up.

And then either we're getting promoted or whatever you call it.

Yeah.

A lot of unknowns and say they didn't pick up much in the

free agent stuff.

Their Grand Rapids team has played well, so maybe they get a few guys to move up from Grand Rapids and fit in, but it's hard to say.

I see hockey news has got them going to be tough for the Red Wings to make playoffs this year, but you never know.

The puck does funny things in the game, and the season goes on.

Somebody else may jump up and things just fall into place.

So the NHL now is so many changes and free agency and the compact schedule and it's hard to say who makes the playoffs and who doesn't.

Well Bill, that's for sure.

There's usually one or two uninvited guests in the usual suspects like Sean Beligian would say and I know a lot of pre-nausicators have the right finish in the bottom league.

But again, the whole season ago, and every now and again, sometimes people surprise us.

Well, Bill, we're up against it.

We'll get you back next Tuesday.

I'm sure you're going to have some more neat history for us, correct?

We'll find out some for us, Jimmy.

We've got some good stories.

I just uncovered players that headed the side between baseball and hockey.

And they

went for baseball.

So we've got a couple of good stories on that, Joe.

the end of the baseball season.

It's kind of a good story to share with you next week.

Well, perfect.

Then we'll get our baseball picks coming up too.

I'm going as a play officer about a week and a half away.

Well, Bill, thanks a million as usual.

Been very fun and informative.

I know a lot.

I love hearing stories about the Polar Arena.

That's one of my favorite venues.

Obviously that concessions down in the basement.

That's what was going in there alone.

Bill attacking next Tuesday.

Sound good?

That sounds good, Jimmy.

You have a great week.

Enjoy the Copper Country.

Winter's starting to get ready for winter up there.

Oh yeah, we can see signs right in our own backyards right now.

We'll be back this Thursday.

Captain Lew, Captain Lew Gamer will join us.

Lew will have his usual light-hearted perspective in the sports world.

We're going to send it back to Sam in the morning.

Thanks, Sam.

Riverdale

coach Jesse Kinney is our guest on WRCO.

Jesse, how's the team been playing this year?

You know, we've had a great start to the year.

We already have Eclipse our record from last year.

I think we were 15 and 20 and we have 15 wins currently, which was a big goal for the girls with the end game of hitting 20 wins.

So they they've been focused.

It's been flying already, but they're they're playing well.

They're growing and it's been a lot of fun so far.

But you have good numbers for the program come out this year.

Actually, our numbers are down a little bit this year.

Every class, I feel like your incoming class ebbs and flows, and we're senior heavy this year with seven.

But next year, I think the freshman class coming in is a little bit bigger.

So this year, we're only running two teams, but we anticipate that changing in the future here real soon.

As you look at your team, who are the leaders this year?

You know, that's the best thing.

We have so many kids that are stepping up at different times.

We just played in New Lisbon this last weekend.

Um, everybody did not play great all of the time, but enough people to care their roles and their jobs to cover each other that we were able to come out and be four and all after the weekend.

So, uh, that's the glory of this squad is that we're just kind of like deep across the board and everybody just.

They, they're the best teammates for each other.

If they lack anything, they lack self confidence, but by golly, they all will build everybody else up around them.

And they think that their teammate next to them can win the match for them at any given time.

So it's been, it's been fantastic that they all have just really, it's a solid group of 10 that they just, they show up and as long as eight of them are on, we're good.

How's the JV team done this year?

They've been doing pretty well as well.

They are a small group.

There's only eight of them.

But they've been battling.

I want to say they're right at 500.

But they did just also win the New Lisbon Tournament this weekend.

So both of our squads came out with championships this weekend.

And they went four and all, or three and all, I think, to win it.

But there's four freshmen there and then four sophomores.

And it's good.

I mean, numbers are small, but they are mighty and they are quality.

We'll be back with more in a moment from WRCO Sports.

Yippee!

Well, that's a load off my bucket list

that bands pumping well solutions because running water beats running to the store for bottled Riverdale coach Jesse Kinney is our guest Jesse as you look at tonight What do you know about Iowa Grant?

So we've seen them once so we know they're scrappy We know that they're a little bit taller than you know some of our other conference opponents that we see And we know that we look at

what they've done and they've been taking teams, you know, son of more, they've been taking extra sets and they're not, they're not losing in three while they may not be winning, but they're, they're challenging.

So we expect a full on dog fight tonight for revenge for beating them at their place earlier this season.

Um, and that's, and that's great coming in because we also have Darlington this week that we need to prepare for to try to maintain being in the top three in the conference.

So is Darlington the best team or if not who?

No, they are not.

The top right now is still going to be Cuba.

We are sitting right around with Cuba at the top and mineral point right behind them.

And after that, you know, it's going to be a little bit of a toss-up between who's going

to

be on each night.

And we did lose to Cuba, but if we can end up in the top four of this conference here moving into October, we will have another chance at them at our place or the conference quad, which is what everybody wants because

We, we battled with Cuba, but we know we can play them better and just getting that victory means a whole lot more, even if it's after the seeding for the state tournament.

It's just that's a moral victory that I know the girls are after.

What division will Riverdale be in when the WIA playoffs start in October?

So we will be in four with most of our conference.

So we will, we're in our sectional with

I think Cuba's with us, Fenimore's with us, and Mineral Point, which is great because this is the year that we're trying to build and be ready for that, but we also don't want all the attention and we love to just fly under the radar.

So if we can just maintain where we can get that high enough speed to have a couple home games, but we definitely don't want to be viewed as the top dog in the conference, although we know that we can definitely play with everybody in our conference.

And again, looking at the team, how many seniors do you have this year?

I have seven seniors, two sophomores, or seven seniors, one junior and two sophomores.

So it's a very elderly team and experienced, but they're a whole lot of fun.

And I'm hoping that this just builds and carries into our younger kids as they continue to come up.

What do you have to improve on the most here if you're going to make that move at the end of the year?

You know, it's always it's so silly and it's the thing they've done the longest but if we can pass and stay in system Then I really feel like there's teams will struggle to stop us offensively.

We're a pretty dynamic offensive a team where all of the hitters we have any given night we might have Four people or five people with five kills apiece and it's hard to stop an offense when everybody can kind of get in there and get their get their kills but

it's our passing and it has gotten better and we've been very focused and very intentional with what we need to do and we have the ability to pass.

It's just keeping that mental game strong to do it when after you make an error, that error recovery time, but it's getting better.

And if that's our biggest problem, we're in a good spot.

Excellent.

We look forward to seeing the Chiefs tonight.

Good luck to you and the team, Jesse.

Thank

you.
