Calipari tweets team info all the time and keeps his fanbase informed. Seems to be working out pretty well for him. I see absolutely nothing wrong with it and actually applaud him for it. It appears you don't have to play a national schedule to get nationally ranked after all.

Coach Wallace has been tweeting rankings every since he started tweeting. He's proud of his program and I see nothing wrong with it. The Purples are head and shoulders the best team in KY this year, so why not publicize your program and school?!?

 

Good luck to the Purples the rest of the way!!

I am not seeing much difference here. Two point advantage to BG. Maxpreps has BG a 3 point favorite over T. That looks about right. Is that "head and shoulders the best"?

I think it is really cool that a head coach embraces and shares so much about his football program.

How dare me to question Trinity's dominance by suggesting another team might be quite a bit better than them. What was I thinking...:ohbrother:

You were thinking I am a X fan and this thread is the perfect opportunity to...

Tweeting about "national" rankings is not something Trinity staffers participate in.:sssh:

 

Not this year.

 

 

In all seriousness, I think BG is just a smidgen better than T this time around, but until they play it's all water cooler talk.

And if I am talking around the water cooler you best believe I am putting some #purplekoolaid in it.

BG dominated the game from start to finish and Trinity dominated the 4th quarter. Oh and X didn't have Walker against Trinity. But whatever.

Many that critique the two games point out the prescence and absence of walker as the ultimate barometer. T struggled and X didn't have walker, Bg didn't and walker played. That's where people conclude their opinions.

I agree. I think it's great.

I don't know if it is common practice elsewhere, but I love the media notes they release every week. Has the two deep depth chart, some factoids about the previous game, the season at-large, etc. Even injury statuses on players (which I understand some would be more reluctant about).

Can you support your answer?

 

The question is, can you support yours? I say no you can't. BG MAY very well be the best football team in KY this year...head and shoulders? Nope, THAT cannot be said.

All fair and honest...but we did not "struggle", I've been to hundreds of games, and this one was never in doubt.

Struggled to dominate. T dominated the fourth quarter I give you that, but it was a see-saw game until the 4th.

I have seen both teams, in person, and have stats from their common opponent. I also saw the Lexington Catholic game versus BG where the Purples almost had a running clock. I think comparing the two game scores without actually seeing the games leaves a lot out of the "eye test".

 

Why BG?

Trinity and X not only had(have) no answer for Nefarious Fant and also Tisdale as a receiver, and broke contain on Hayes and Pillow many times. Tisdale had an 80 yard slant pass that got called back. T Dbs have shown improvement over the year from Ensworth to last week but BG's passing game is much better. To give a comparison to T fans, Fant is James Quick, Tisdale is Daylen Dawkins, and while I love(d) Travis Wright, he cannot run like Devin Hayes, giving another offensive option. With the game winding down, the BG offense ran the ball 7 straight times and ate up 4 minutes of clock and it was game over. The BG defense isn't as good as Ryan White and Jason Hatcher, but they are pretty good. St Xavier marched into the red zone 7 times against BG but came away with only 4 scores. What I saw was a defense that made plays when they had to.

 

In Trinity's favor:

X played BG coming off a very short week ( Sunday-Friday)

X played without McCormick and Purcell late in the game.

Reggie can make plays against anyone! Brooks can run well both inside and outside.

 

IMVHO, Trinity doubles Fant and holds him to 5 catches and 60 yards. Tisdale scores 4 times( 2 at Slot, 2 at RB) against single coverage and Hayes runs another one in as BG wins 35-28.
