Seeing those stats and the number of turnovers Bryan Station had puts a damper on this score. If Bryan Station doesn't have all those turnovers plus allowing an onside kick recovery, this looks more like a 21-7 type of matchup.

 

 

and if someone’s aunt had other apparatus (not taking into account today’s society), she’d be their uncle.

Trinity had a large part in those FIVE turnovers.  

1-0

lots of work to do.

Lexington football is what it is.  Onward and upward.

I hate how their fans act. I never had to play against the school, but I’ve been around the fans enough times to know how insane they behave in moments like this.

Do you not think that we shouldn’t win this game?   
 

I would.  You’re not involved with the program.

Continue to hate, we’ll deal with it for now, then do what we have to do.

From the outside looking in, it was an extremely lazy hire. 

It was.  I couldn’t understand it……

I want him gone tonight…

It’s so much more than the results on the field.  Any single person in the program will tell you, it’s a disaster in that locker room and beyond.  
 

we can’t take this much longer.

Trinity’s offense is remarkably vanilla. 

I’m in love with our coaching. 

Any time you wonder why a decision was made, you can rest assured it's all about $$$$$.

To add a little to this.  While I think Cobb is a decent coach, I have heard some serious rumblings of some back stabbing, and some disarray in the locker room at Trinity.  

Once that starts, it's massively difficult to get rid of.

We did just hire, who I believe to be, the very best possible Freshman Head Coach.  That will pay huge huge huge dividends for multiple reasons.

Can we just start the running clocks now?

I sure wish we'd go back to 4 classes.

Then why ain't you winning this year?

I feel that is obvious.

is it not?

It's  all about the "Jimmys and the Joes".

Not really.  We’ve won titles with lesser talent, and we’ve won with elite talent.  It just is more impressive when we have the elite talent.

2012 Trinity may be the best team ever, in the state.

Isn't it a little soon to be drawing conclusions on Cobb as a head coach? I get that the standard at Trinity is different, but after losing the senior laden lineup of 2020, I thought a year or two to reload was a reasonable expectation. If I were a Trinity fan, I wouldn't lose sleep over losing the out of state games, as long as they're winning all  of the in-state games. I'm content to ride out this year and see what happens in 2023. Then again, I'm not one of you.

As far as St. Xavier having the momentum right now, I feel inclined to give more credit to their GOAT coach for finally being the right guy for the job. Obviously, Trinity losing its GOAT plays a factor there, but I can't lay this on Cobb.... yet.

Who is X’s GOAT coach?

we have a few. 

NLTanker is right.  It really isn't a knock on Cobb as a coach.  He is very solid.  I would argue that he is an elite defensive coordinator.  However, being the head coach at our program, comes with it, a lot.  You have decades of brothership, you have a trophy case full of trophies.  You have EXPECTATIONS.  I know the schedule is brutal, but it's been a tough schedule for decades.  Losing seasons are unacceptable.  We are looking down the barrel of a second losing season.  Allowing for X to have the momentum, and not putting fear into our opponents.

Obviously, I hope that Cobb succeeds.  I really really do.  Currently nothing is showing me that the dominance will be back anytime soon.  Not only did we lose last week, we got dominated.  That simply doesn't happen.  Sadly, it won't be the last time, this season, that it happens.

We're in the Kragthorpe Era of Trinity football.

This is a sad sad fact...  At least Brad was a good QB for us.

X rolls....starting to feel like a back 2 back X run.  When was the last time they did that?

I need to see more out of Trinity's offense before I have any confidence in a W.  I have seen nothing that leads me to feel we have anything that resembles some of our offenses of the last 23 years.

This game went almost EXACTLY as I thought it would play out.  We have ZERO offense, and it is a massive problem.  More losses on the way.

This one calls for Aubrey. 

fine…. Rocks by 50.  We found our offense this week!!!!  😅😅

I can’t make a pick in this game.  Why?  Would I go head or heart?  Are they one the same page?  Not sure.

Here’s what I’ll say.  If it’s low scoring, Rocks win.  
 

if not, it won’t be pretty.

no shame in either result.  It’s Game 2.

Happy with the win….but that’s in the rear view mirror now.  Offensively we have extensive work to do.  We are missing that explosiveness that we are accustomed to.

I love our defense, but this will not be the offense of old.  That’s going to take some getting used to, and it will hurt us in a couple of games this season.

Areas that stuck out to me:

protection

route running

North / south running

passing

Alas, it’s just week 1, and it was a W.  So I’m happy.

Question:  How does Ballard have one & no one else in JCPS?

Ballard has a brand new stadium.  Their last one was condemned....

 

I have only hearsay to report.  This team is still very very young, with a lot of key parts to replace. They have the talent, but now the rubber meets the road.  The defense looks to be stout.  Can they win this tough road opener?  I'm not sure.  But I do know that they're up for the challenge.  I'm just not sure that's enough in a Week 1 scenario.  However, it poses a great learning opportunity.  I look for a close battle, that will point towards a successful 2022 campaign.
