RockPride Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 ^ St. Xavier's #1 domination is from swimming, and that is more being frutuitous of locale, and the fact that most lakeside swimmers go to X...my father in law went to X (1959) swam for lakeside, and then went to the "real" St. Xavier as he likes to call it...so again, take pride in the swimming, but thank the fact that Trinity wasn't an option 100 years ago.

Diogenes Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 ^ St. Xavier's #1 domination is from swimming, and that is more being frutuitous of locale, and the fact that most lakeside swimmers go to X...my father in law went to X (1959) swam for lakeside, and then went to the "real" St. Xavier as he likes to call it...so again, take pride in the swimming, but thank the fact that Trinity wasn't an option 100 years ago. As was said many years ago in a Presidential debate- "There he goes again". All this chest puffing-then the truth. One guy thought X had only 3 more titles in its history than T. Then we learn it is around 133 to 30 or so. Another guy concedes that X has a higher ACT average, but all T students have to take the test. Turns out that at least 98% of X students go on to college. Another poster wants us to be aware that the National Merit winners were gifted to start with, and X really had little to do with the number of merit scholars. (Of course, turn this around-T gets talented football players and has little to do with developing state titles-and T posters would squeal to high heavens!). Several others want us to be aware that the X athletic dominance was old timey-modern day contests no longer favor X. Oops-the past 15 years has X with about a 47-15 advantage. At long last, RockPride no longer quibbles that X has not dominated even recently-but he informs us that "St. Xavier's #1 domination is from swimming". Well...subtract swimming over the last 15 years and the results- still X with about 32 KHSAA state titles and T with about 15. Now, if you subtracted tennis, wrestling, National Merits...down to football...but then, we have already conceded that Trinity is a football school.

PepRock01 Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 This thread had more than run its course. If you all want to start a thread on football do it here. If you want to compare the schools across the board take it to General Discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
