Some Random Thoughts to Chew on....

Observations:

 

Trinity - Congrats on #17. Can anyone stop these guys??? Maybe they should play up in class, try the CUSA.....

 

Male - Still producing great talent ie. Beaumont. Congrats on the Mr. Football award, well deserved. Still need to figure out how to play defense against a very offensive minded opponent....

 

St. X - In all reality, season was below standard and expectations. Need a way to utilize all of the offensive weapons. May have to take several steps at one time for the changes to be effective....

 

 

Manual - Keep pluging away....

 

Disappointments:

 

St. X - Major underachieving season. I think one needs to be positive as much as possible, yet lets call it like it is.....

 

PRP - What happened to the breakout year for this program???

 

 

Surprises:

 

Henry Clay - Nice run in playoffs...

 

Ryle - Even nicer run in playoffs. Congrats on a fine season. Now, go build upon that success.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Crystal Ball for 2007..... No significant changes....will result in very similar conclusions to this past season. Makes for an interesting off season from many perspectives.

 

 

 

Let the chewn begin....:laugh:

Wow, that gloom and doom stuff really wears on me. Didn't you hear at the banquet from Ox that life is about the "journey"? What did you expect from this year? Was X picked number 1 by any poll? We won the games that we were expected to win, we lost the games that we should of lost to better teams. End of story. We ended up (IMHO) as the 3rd best team among all teams in Kentucky( apologies to Cov Cath and to Henry Clay but IMHO) I am not settling for the results achieved but take a step back and look at the returning letterman- Zoeller, Finch, Kuiper, Simmons, Brown, Gahm, Smith, Carpenter, Jones, Heuser, Coombs, Allgier, Showalter, Hildt, and Foy. Add in the injured players of Hall, Nazr, Knotts, Devine, Rayome, and Brinkman who missed a lot of time due to major breaks and injuries. What other program would sit the junior starter at QB on Senior night so the senior starter would play? X will be okay in 2007.

 

I gotta say the 2006 surprise was Central.Ryle- What a run . What about Manual or even Iroquios with their limited resources. They are the team that exposed Male's defense first.

 

Disapointments- PRP won every game they were supposed to except Manual.

I think I was surprised that Scott County didn't go further.

^ Jimmyref not trying to start trouble here, just an honest discussion. I had high expectations for this season as I do for all seasons.... After the in 05, I thought that 06 would be a very focused and determined team. Given the talent returning at the skill positions and comments of speed galore... Well, we just could not get it done in the big games. I thought we may have been overhyped.... I watched a lot of the games this year and I will say that the 1 - 2 punch of Anderson and Finch really never materialize to the point that the defense never know who was going to run the ball. If I recall correctly, it was very rare to see both in the game at the same time.... This is the point I make in utilizing all the offensive weapons. If you have 5 weapons, but em on the field at the same time, utilize the speed, force the defense to cover all and then throw in some creative play calling..... Now that is scary. But it never happened. I hope we had a learning experience this season from a player and coaching perspective. I never saw the team play with emotion and enthusiasm (like they really wanted to win...) vs. Trinity, Male and Male. I have watched X football for 30 years and this team did not have emotion and was not successful in generating it on the field. Looking forward to 2007 and the new stadium. It will be interesting.

Does anyone know who will take Jamie Brown's spot on the coaching staff?

 

The "legendary" Coach Brown is now a graduate assistant at Michigan. He was a great guy and very knowledgeable about football (and spoke well of his one meeting with LSURock). I do not know his replacement.

Jamie is a really nice guy. I wish him lots of luck at that school up north. He provided a very informative and unique perspective on "how things work" at X.

 

Prior to the start of the season X added a defensive coach that played at UofL (I think). I can't recall his name but his hiring was much celebrated, how did he work out and will he be back next season? Any chance Will Wolford takes over coaching O-line?

The coach you are talking about is Rashard Harris. This young man is a very bright and promising young coach,and the kids loved him. As far as Wolford I don't know.

I disagree about St.X being #3 when all was said and done. They had a pretty good team this year but I think that Henry Clay was a better team than the Tigers this year.

I saw the Semifinal between Trinity and Henry Clay and I would agree with you that in head to head competition (playoff time), HC probably would have beaten X. Eventhough HC spotted Trinity 28 points to start the game, HC played pretty good after that. Gave up some big plays to Petrino scrambling. It takes a special team and effort to win a semifinal on the road. I did not see anything from X that led me to believe that they had what it takes to build the lead and / or come from behind to win.....
