Hey, my team what the State High School Championship in 1982.

What, you don't care??

Exactly....

The Pack won those SB games with luck. Vikes were unlucky. We will get there someday (I hope).

But, at least we have a slight chance this year. At least it is a chance. The Bears and Pack can't say that. So, go kiss those trophies along with your season. And, the Vikes will be better next year.

I said that last year too...and was right.

So, even if I am wrong...I am still .500

That is better than the Packers record this year!

All but Winston Moss (linebackers coach) and Joe Whitt (quality control coach) get the ax. I don't think those coaches were completely to blame for the poor showing on the defense this last season, Thompson has to shoulder some of the blame for not bringing in the right personnel. I suppose though, with a new defensive coordinator, he'd want his own staff.

Snooze - I saw that on the news Monday, was a long list of staff that got the ax. They should improve overall next year, they are in a good spot to do so. How many games did they lose this year by less than 4 points? We have coaching changes, wonder what kind of player changes we'll see...

A lot of those close games we lost in the last minutes mainly because we couldn't get a stop when we needed to.

I heard that Mike Nolan was a candidate for DC but he's primarily a 3-4 guy and we don't have the personnel to run that. You need bigger DE's and I don't think Kampman would hold up. Jenkins might be okay on the other side though. Maybe Thompson's got his eye on someone in free agency. At any rate, I hope they focus more on the defensive side in this years draft, especially the early rounds whatever scheme they end up running. We've got the 9th overall pick plus an extra 3rd rounder from the Jets. Should be interesting!!!

Dom Capers is Green Bays new defensive coordinator.

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/37807024.html

"Though Capers is known for using the 3-4 defense, he also ran a 4-3 in Jacksonville under coach Tom Coughlin and a hybrid 3-4/4-3 under Miami coach Nick Saban and New England coach Bill Belichick. Capers spent the past year as special assistant/secondary under Belichick, but the two did not mesh well and Capers was allowed to pursue other work."

Looks like Mike Trgovac is our new defensive line coach. Here's a little something I found on him (he was with the Packers under Ray Rhodes in 1999.)

"Trgovac served as the defensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles from 1995-1998. In 1998, the Eagles finished third in the NFL in sack percentage and first overall against the pass. Trgovac's 1995 line recorded an NFL-best 42.5 sacks. He spent the 1999 season with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Washington Redskins for two seasons. He helped guide a Redskins defense that ranked fourth in the NFL and first in the NFC in 2000.

Following the 2001 season, Trgovac joined the Carolina Panthers. He was promoted to defensive coordinator for the 2003 season. Since Trgovac joined Carolina in 2002, the Panthers rank fifth in total yards allowed, trailing only Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Denver. They are also sixth in first downs allowed and rushing yards allowed per attempt, ninth in rushing yards allowed per game and 10th in third down efficiency. After turning down a contract offer from the Panthers, Trgovac informed head coach John Fox and general manager Marty Hurney that he was leaving the team."

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
