I guess this can be a two conversation between RRR and me but if anyone else wants to jump in, I'd love to hear it.

 

I never in my wildest dreams thought these two teams would be a combined 0-5 heading into this contest. The goodnews is that SOMEONE is going to have a win after Friday.

 

So RowdyRed, what say you? Thoughts? Opinions? Did you watch us on ESPN on Sunday? Do my Cards stand a chance against the mighty, mighty Crimsons?

I think if Manual comes away from this game healthy and keeps it close a lot will have to be said for how tough the Rams are. I would love to see a clean sweep for the Ky boys over OH, but I just don't see it happen.

Sorry CardinalsFan I didn't catch the game on TV. From what I can tell from the scores is that we similar issues in getting TD's.

 

In the first game against Highlands I could point to mistakes that stumbled Manual up. It was somewhat to be expected as our QB had missed some practice due to injury and we had to replace so many players.

 

Then they play reasonably well on O against Fern Creek. But I had no idea Fern Creek had so much talent on there own offense. FERN CREEK HAS A BETTER OFFENSE THAN TRINITY OR HIGHLANDS, look out for them this season. We lost a close game to a team that no one realized was going to be so good.

 

Against Trinity we moved the ball but simply didn't punch it in. It hurts Manual that they have no kicking game. I feel like if we had put up three points here or there and the 4th qtr score starts at 13-6 instead of 13-0 I feel like we might of had a little more confidence to stop the game from getting away.

 

The unfortunate fact of all this is that I don't feel like Manual plays bad football, but they don't have the athletes to give us any kind of extra edge. We're not getting 70yrd td's because our rb was able to break through a tackle and speed down the sideline. We are lacking in studs on this team and it has hurt us in these big games.

 

If Colerain is as physically talented as many have mentioned this game might get out of hand. If we can play with Colerain on the line then the game could be competitive. If thier defense can get penetration up the middle then our entire offense can be stopped before it starts, this to me is the key, if Colerain defensive line dominates our oline than this game will be joke.

 

Right now I'm at 50/50 on attending it will depend on when I can get out of work. If I don't get out til after 5:00 I may not make the drive. But if you have any parking tips or suggestions CardinalsFan, I wouldn't mind seeing them.

Colerain 28-7, losing in close games to two very good teams Colerain is still the 3rd best team in Cincy.

Colerain too much for Manual.

Wouldn't it have been nice if this game was on Saturday? Kidding...

 

Parking won't be an issue. The stadium is at the high school and parking is plentiful either on campus or just across the street at the Post Office/Home Depot. If you're super nice and commit to coming, I'd love to meet you and you can have my parking spot at my parents house which is a 5 minute walk from the school.

Thanks CF and I appreciate the offer.

 

It wouldn't have bothered me to have the game on Sat but I don't know the reasons for not changing it, which could be legitimate (like the coaches might have had other plans for Sat or the administation didn't approve of it for "who knows why"). But it is what it is.

 

I sent you a pm reply and a followup I hope they help.

Colerain 50

Manual 20

This one gets ugly. Colerain 45 Manual 10.

This one gets ugly. Colerain 45 Manual 10.

 

Extremely ugly. Colerain 56 Manual 0

Appreciate the love from the St. Xavier fans on the board but I have to say you guys are way off on our point output. We have scored 1 TD in two games. We aren't going to be dropping 45, 50 or even 56 on anybody. It might take us 3 games to score that amount.

 

My breakdown later in the week. Keep the input coming.

 

Anyone know the Manual defenders I should keep an eye out for this Friday?

Cards are literally fighting for their playoff lives... Colerain by 3 TD's.

Colerain 34-21.

Colerain 34-21.

Not to be pretentious...but we didn't give up 21 points to Elder or St. Xavier....we aren't going to give up 21 points to Manual.
