  1. I'm an outsider looking in at both programs. Both very good. The impression I have is emotion may play a bigger role than anyone thinks. Glaser seems to be a guy that gets caught in the emotion and only realizes it after he is part way down the path. Tough way to keep kids focused and teach them about football, sportsmanship etc. Still, it is obvious, he takes he team to, or near the top every year - not many can claim such consistency. Beatty appears to be mostly business. Flys under the radar, keeping his goal in mind. Someone said earlier he doesn't mind taking things slow at the beginning of the year even if he looses a few on the way. Not a bad strategy with a seemingly limitless talent pool. It hard to argue with T's success, it's equally as hard to argue with X's success, still heads and shoulders above the publics. Without ties allowed - someone has to loose.
  2. Congratulations to Trinity! I wonder now how the steamrolling X does to the other teams really helps them, other than the ratings? It does seem to come down to the X's and O's the last few years with T able to bring it together in the end. X and T (and Highland) are flagship programs in the state. No other programs can match funding and across the board talent. I don't anticipate the playoff participants changing much in the coming years.
  3. I saw in the CJ that Redmon apologized to purple wearing fans. I thought there was no need to apologize but Male was definately off their game. Other than the kick returned for a TD nothing seemed to go right for Male. Congratulations to the Cimsons. Good luck to both teams in the playoffs.
  4. This game seems to be an emotional one for both teams. The last four or five games I saw were pretty close, last years went to Manual. Will emotion get it back for Male or will Manual keep the barrel? It seems like Male is down this year - as is Manual. This year seems like another toss-up. Hopefully the rain will hold off for the evening and the boys can enjoy being in Cardinal Stadium. :banana:Good night for a party.
  5. I'm not sure its sour grapes as much as frustration with the perceptions about Manual and other public school programs. X & T get the talent they want, much more of a complete package than any public school has assembled this year. How many lineman comparible to X's can be found at YPAS? X could easily field two teams that could compete with most 6A schools and probably another in the 3A or 4A area. X has a good team this year and will likely comptete for the title. I know some of the kids on the team and they are good kids! With all they have going for them why do they play like they have a chip on their shoulder? Did the score really need to be 57-0?
  6. What kind of a statement is this? Education is the primary driver. Parents who have spent money on their kids education in grade school are focused on education. Don't kid yourself, the decision on where a boy goes to high school is not made solely by the boy, the parents generally guide the decision. Both Manual and X & T offer quality education. Manual's is 8,000 less per year. If you had the chance for the same product at less cost.........? X has the resoruces this year to win. Manuals chance to win rests on missed opportunity by X. X will need to make a number of serious mistakes to loose this one.
  7. Look, I ate the hot dog without getting ketchup or mustard on my hands.....this time.
  8. Fun thread. As I quickly scanned the Q & A's I didn't see a school that has an interesting nickname. I know the nickname, but not the school, could we reverse order for this one? Nickname School Engineers
  9. This does seem to be a characteristic of this Manual team! It should help them throughout the season.
  10. Good individual play by a number of players, mopre consistancy is needed on both sides of the ball. Too many "big" plays challenged Manual early on
  11. Doug Beaumont is certainly a quality player and quality person, Male was good in 2006, but certianly not the best in the state...... they squeeked by a few teams that year too , which is what good teams do.
  12. A lot of good points are being made. Nothing has said about the factor weather on attendance in the December championships. It might be fun to go to the games, but I'm sure a lot of folks just don't want to sit through hours in extreme cold (without the possibility of a trophy deer) in most cases. I see it less about location and more about weather.
  13. But Ref,.....I didn't think it was a horse collar tackle if he didn't have the ball.....
  14. I agree, although with your AVATAR yours is a very scary reply:scared:
