Very shallow win for Male. Kids played a good tough game, that kind of play is sad. Coach Redman obviously practiced and perfected that. I am embarrased for Male. Saw the video on Youtube, sad for a game that is anticipated all over the State, a great rivalry with great respect.

Don't be embarrassed for Male. They dominated the game!

SO Male runs an illegal play and it is coach Nichols fault:rolleyes:

Unlike probably every other school in the area Manual can match, and in many cases exceed, academic success with X and T. Manual is arguably the best suited school to make a challenge to X and T.

 

As it is right now I think the state of local (Louisville) football is in a very particular crossroads. X and T are skyrocketing and the most successful public program to challenge them, Male, is taking a turn in the wrong direction. I don't want to sound like I've already nailed the casket shut on Male, I do think Manual needs to take Male's place. If Manual (or any other public school) cannot challenge X or T I think we will see separation in the next ten years, and I don't see that being good at all.

 

Manual needs to take steps like these to grow the program to BIG level (we don't want to lose any more Bernard Jackson's or Jordan Whitings out of our weight rooms). I believe they need to do it NOW, or it will be to late and there will be no catching X or T. So as we said before it is a gamble and they could quite possibly go 5-5 or worse (I predict 7-3), but I think it is a gamble they have to take.

 

 

Its a good thing you are not nailing the casket shut on Male, because when it comes to High School football there are always alot of up and down cycles. In the last couple of years yes Male has lost to the Crimson's but that does not mean they are taking a turn in the wrong direction. This year Male has all of their O-line back as well as an abundance of returning starters at key positions, including a QB who took them to the 6A State semi-final last year. The dawgs will be back and Manual is not ready to take their place. As far as the up and down cycles look what Manual loses from last year, quite a bit i think. As far as academics Lou. Male is right there with Manual.

Male is not what they were some years ago, that tells me they are on the down-slide. Manual was down this year as well, no question about that, but compare the two programs in the 90's and the difference was huge compared to what it is today.

 

"As far as academics Lou. Male is right there with Manual" Its D_O_G_S no dawgs.:lol:

 

 

For those interested on the illegal play.
