The Colts roll into Butler with this stingy fast defense. Last year we tamed the bears 42-13. I expect pretty similar results this year. I do however think Butler has improved, but will it be enough?

Nice field!

 

Thank you. We are pretty proud of it.

I say DeSales wins but probably tighter than last week against Fairdale.

Through a Varsity, JV & Freshman scrimmage, one varsity game and one JV game, DeSales has not been scored on. That will end Friday, but I don't expect Butler to put more than one score on the board. However, I think our offense is still a work in progress. I'm taking the Colts 13-7. Here's a picture of the opening night crowd.

Very nice looking field. I hope we can play there someday.

Well, lets not put that off for a cpl of years. Lets go ahead and do it this year. What do you say?

^ This Cardinal fan is up for it!

The four hour trip the morning after Thanksgiving was a tough drive last year, but it beat NOT making the trip!!!

just curious, after years of never having a home game at their own field, why did they wear the visitor/away White jerseys for their first Home game?

DeSales usually wears white for home games. Most college teams wear white on the road, but many NFL teams wear white at home. I don't know if there is a particular reason why.

DeSales over the past few years, during the hot months, will wear white at home, when they are given first chance. When the weather cools they will go back to Brown, or on special occasions Orange.
