Can anyone clarify the pass inf call just before half that gave X a fg. Did that ref way down field call it on the def player in the end zone.

It should have been defensive holding or illegal contact (after 5 yards).....you can't call pass interference before the ball is even thrown.

With that being said, the at DBS were holding, grabbing, making contact all night. Many went uncalled.

Please don't start the bad call cryfest. The zebras kept x in the game as long as they could.

Once again, no one has yet to see me make an excuse in fact I've admitted more than once T is a better team and played a better game. I was commenting on your post but I will refrain from speaking in regards to anymore of your posts. Good day sir.

Holding would have still given X a 1st down , and X's kickers is pretty good so whether it was holding or pass interference is irrelevant.

 

I'm about 99% sure that illegal contact is an NFL rule.

You have got to be kidding, right?

:no::scared:

Did anyone else notice Wolford giving Beatty a HUG after the game? This had to be the first in series history! Also, why did St X stick around and actually line up for the awarding of the Shillelagh? Motivational ploy by the new staff? Very odd behavior.

 

I noticed this as well. I wonder if Beatty broke out in hives after the hug. :lol2:

As far as X sticking around for the presentation, something I don't recall ever seeing but didn't take it as anything but as a show of respect. Remember, Wolford and Glaser are two different people. IMO...I like to see when teams can lose (and or win) with class. Hmmmm...

maybe some on here can learn how to do this. Oh wait....that would mean hell froze over! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I think X may have stayed out on the field because the Marines presented the Rivalry Series MVP awards to both teams and the Hibernians brought the whoopin stick out right after. It would have been disrespectful to leave and I commend X for not leaving.

I have never seen a game "tied" at 20-17 before.

Will was gracious in defeat, that was a new twist to the rivalry.

Walker better get well so the excuse monster can be put to sleep next time.

If a JCPS school wants to win state this is the year. T is very average and X is nothing close to the hype.

Trinity is "average" how? Not the super team of the last 3 years. There's a few senior starters, one genuine superstar, one very good player, a developing O line and some brutal linebackers, but small compared to every team played so far. They gave up 30-50 lbs a man to the X line. I would say that is about average for a team with dedicated players. But how do you rate the coaching? "Average"? I remember 2006 when Male was supposed to dominate Trinity in the quarterfinal. When the Rocks prevailed 38-34, making up a ten-point deficit in a few minutes then keeping Male from scoring 5 times inside the ten in the last minute, the "experts" ruled that Male had the better players but Trinity was the better team. I loved that team but I finally had to face facts and defer to the experts. Funny thing, when the Litkenhous came out the week after Trinity's 2006 win against Male, Male was STILL ranked #1 in the state and Trinity #2. That's deep. There are so many championships Trinity pulled off that they had no business winning: in 1994 against Shaun Alexander's Boone County team, against X in 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2008. Maybe this year the coaching will carry them again. Stay tuned.

Talk about class, the postgame hugs and hat pats were great. I wish there were a youtube of that. The players on both sides have, as far as I remember, always paid each other respect, but on Friday it just seemed to have been taken to a new level by X. I hope if they turn the tables on us, we can display that same sportsmanship.
