Wow! Impressive.

Here ya go. I will bite.

 

St. X follows their own set of guidelines when it comes to athletics. St. Xavier the school comes 1st. There would be no Football team if there wasn't a school 1st. That is Tiger mentality. A student of Trinity told me this. He said Trinity is better because you can go to St. X and get expelled for whatever reason and Trinity will take you. He then said St. X wont take you if Trinity expels you..... 1 instance of fundamental difference.

St. Xavier has a placement exam to get into school. Trinity does as well but St. X actually turns kids away that do not score well enough. St. Xavier does not offer classes to accommodate students that are not in certain levels of classes. Trinity does offer classes for kids that have learning issues and therefore can accept kids with scores that St. X can not take in for academic reason. St. X will not accept a student they feel will not have the ability to graduate with the curriculum standards to make it to college.

If a student graduates from St. Xavier the student will have met the prerequisites to be accepted into college.

Donald Brooks is at a Prep school because according to him he is not academically stable to be in a 4 year college that is why he had no offers.

just an example.

James Quick and Jason Hatcher...yes they made it to college but their freshman year of college they get busted and Hatcher is suspended for the 1st 2 games this year for unspecific rule violations....just another black eye to football

There are bad apples everywhere St. X does their best to eliminate them!

 

I will say this. I would love to have all the best of the best athletes at St. X. It will never happen because of academic standards. St. X is a lot like Notre Dame and Stanford. The lower level academic athlete can not attend there. St. X is not a football factory. They are a factory of Students and Student Athletes.

 

NOW am I jealous to not win every year? Am I upset?

I will say this. I want to win and win we will. We win in swimming golf tennis wrestling baseball ect......Football we are successful. have we won recently? we have competed and we will get over the hump soon very soon! Heck St. X had Male on the ropes in the play offs a couple of seasons ago. St. X beat Trinity last season and just couldnt beat them in the playoffs.

I am a X Man and I want a X Man leading my programs. I want X Men playing for St. X. That would be Men that want to be X Men not just come to a school to play football. I want a higher standard! That is what I want and have at St. X.

 

last thing does anyone recall the incident with the wrestler at St. X in 2014. Lampey I think was his name. He was suspended for the wrestling regional and therefore couldnt wrestle in state where he was a 3 time state champion and a lock to win his 4th. That suspension probly cost St. X a state Championship. The kid had tobacco in his backpack.....Could that have been overlooked....yes! but it wasnt and I amm proud to say it wasnt. I want to be a part of a school that holds kids to a higher standard. That is St. X in a nutshell in my eyes.

 

I am not mad at all I am just passionate about St. X!

 

I support Coach Wolford, Coach Glaser or whomever the school deems to be the leader of the football team.

This is a very interesting score.

Comparative scores mean nothing....but this one raised my brow.

Funny as it may sound....I feel confident we'll be ok in the rematch.

I could not be more upset about our effort and lack of discipline tonight. I know we will right the ship....but these young men, and something special in front of them, and completely poo pooed the bed......on to PRP....we'll see Male later, and it will be fine.

They will win every game they play this year.

Not a chance.

St. X is a great place to watch a game as well. I enjoyed everything about the stadium and atmosphere when I went there for the last BG/St. X game.

If you sit on the home side.

Tonight I cooked a filet oscar, with some pan seared scallops with browned pancetta and truffle oil, sides of hash brown casserole and roasted broccolini....

I love this team. They are one unit. And they play fast and hard. Jailen Reed is a punisher, that's probably my favorite part. He truly finishes every run as if it was his last....this "could" be a special year. We'll see....

I loved the Hooters Thursday night gatherings....huge fellowship opportunity...

Not seen the offense expect for a few highlights, but would imagine either A) QB position is not performing well, or B) too much East and West, instead of North and South.

Seriously seeking info here. Why do they need different athletes to run power, counter, zone and some RPO's?

They are running a true spread offense now. Much like Oregon, extremely high tempo, trying to utilize the entire field.

St. X doesn't have the athletes to run their current offense, but they will someday.....regardless, they win this one big....

31-7

^ well, I think we're leaps and bounds better, this year, than last.

Wow...you guys think we surrender only 7 points against 3 SEC linemen. I love the confidence and I hope you're right.

 

Looking forward to the trip, spending time with all the T fans/parents...and some good grub with the BBQ cowboy!

If those lineman are going to Vandy and UK.....heck yeah.

I saw a very, very solid defense Friday, they looked very athletic, sharp, and focused. If they maintain that stance, 14 points will be enough to win almost any game.

It is Brentwood Academy

BTW, Ensworth has some extremely classy fans and students.....I saw nothing out of line. The vuvuzelas are extremely annoying.

I will also add that while I know the passing game will improve, I don't find 9-25 very encouraging.

I don't know what yo predict....but I know I was at practice this week, and it was extremely intense......they are laser focused. Doesn't mean anything....but it means they know they are 0-2 against them...

I'm of the mindset to just do it. If someone is footing the bill....you think that JCPS would pay the money to undo it.

Ask for forgiveness.

I could list all sort of restaurants and the dishes you should get....

Bistro 1860 - anything (Michael is bananas right now)

Roux - SheCrab soup

Volare - SeaBass

Basa - Shaking Beef

Seviche - mofongo (doesn't always have)(tuna ceviche is incredible)

Mussel and Burger - short rib nachos, Argentinian burger, Curried Mussels

Cena - Porterhouse

Marketplace - Philly (serious)

I could go on and on.....

Hearing an aberration...but we'll see. They had to hire a company to help with the last schedule.....if the return isn't enough...they may stick to this format short term.

Anyone can request information about applicants for a coaching or, I believe, teaching job through the Freedom of Information Act. BGP could post the names of every coach that applied for every job in Kentucky if they wanted to.

Except from private institutions....

What a Trinity centered world we live in. Trinty fans "close" to the situation. That have "solid" source. That know more of the truth than a guy who lives IN Bentonville and is such a big fan of his team he researched a KY website to learn about a potential coach.

If you knew the two people you were talking about, and their "closeness" to the situation, you may feel differently. You may not....doesn't really matter to me, much, either way.
