Game played last night...Thursday. 6A #2 Manual defeats #5 Butler.

Wow... if Butler can score 35 on the Crimson, Trinity might score 70.

Butler not getting much respect on BGP despite being ranked #5. Why is that?

Butler was ranked #4 on BG Preps ahead of St X. That is a lot of respect.

Amen!

I should have been more clear. The site itself is giving respect but it seems the posters aren't. That is what I was referring to. Why don't the posters on BGP give Butler any respect despite their high ranking.

I think the problem with Butler being given little respect by the posters is because their recent football records have not been very stellar. Once a team is stereotyped as good or bad, it is very hard to change it's image. St. X. and Butler are two excellent examples. The Tigers have no where near the talent as they have had in past years, yet many still consider them #2 to Trinity. In Butler's case, the talent, experience, depth and coaching have greatly improved, but they are still viewed by many as a walk-over team.

They lost to a horrible Male team. (newest member to theguru's "pot stirring team").

 

Nice post OX.
