The Oracle

We can lose this. We'll find a way.

Pssssst, Colonels, Noon is prolly gonna run the ball. Maybe try to tackle him.

Yeah, I didn't really want to beat Highlands tonight anyway.

If my coach's brother, who also happened to be one of the team's biggest fans, had died the week of my biggest rivalry game, I would be out to bust some heads come kickoff time and play some inspired football on my coach's behalf. The Colonels are not out to bust heads or play inspired football. Disappointing. Sincerely.

Is it a battle if neither offense is playing football?

I would go with "lackluster." Or "uninspired" maybe.

These look like two football teams that are very much not excited to play each other.

Oh good, they're carrying out that cute little tree trunk.

Dixie definitely has more talent on the field than CCH. No argument from me on that one. Coach Brossart calls the same 3 or 4 pass plays and the same 3 or 4 running plays and thats his entire game plan, or lack thereof. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. As a football program and as a school, Dixie is historically very accepting of mediocrity. I can only assume they all have Bengals and Reds season tickets too.

Wow, in the 14 minutes between the post you quoted and your own post, you were able to check with every single Beechwood parent to see whether or not they had said that? Color me impressed!

7on7 isn't a scrimmage. It's a glorified "hey let's toss the football in the yard". CCH and SK played in a real-game simulation scrimmage for 3 quarters. If you wanna talk about 7on7 you might as well start talking about times in the forty for RBs, and legpress/benchpress/clean weights for linemen.

Haha, don't a lot of TD's come about from missed tackles?

PLEASE can we stick with Agee at quarterback?

He consistently runs backward before cutting it up field. That play he went backward 3 yards before running forward.

That went poorly.

Without question.

Same. It seemed like a given to me.

They do. But once Rohlmann gets gassed after playing both ways and being their offensive go to I don't know what their game plan with be.

Our offense sure knows how to stall once we get on the other side of the field.

Could ACTUALLY be for academic reasons? (Shocking premise, I know.) Maybe as an undersized freshman he wanted another year to develop physically? Maybe he was bummed because he wanted to play QB and BW had their starting QB repeat his senior year and mess up the pecking order underneath?

All CCH. I think we use this game to work on airing it out and giving Adam some more pass attempts. Colonels by 4 touchdowns.

Sister Effie was a slave driver when it came to vocab tests.

Football hasn't changed. The Covington Catholic faithful don't feel there's a disconnect with the direction the football program is going. It's going in a great direction. The basketball program has changed. There are some people within the basketball crowd at CCH that gripe about it for sure. At this point most of those folks' kids have made their way into other schools. It is what it is. Over the years I've found many or even most basketball parents to be tempestuous at best, and the degree to which the AAU circuit drives the game on many levels has only made that worse. So I guess I'm not phased when I hear basketball parents who are griping. This thread made me laugh though. Highlands fans and CCH fans love to try to magnify perceived issues at each others schools. Or make them up completely.

Is CCH playing without Mason or Benke tonight?

Ay-ay-aye, I remember way too many of those GCL losses. Can we bury that list?
