Spring practice should be done away with and even the dead period in the summer. A coach can tell alot about a player thru out the summer weight and conditioning program. The kids should be able to play baseball without it getting in the way of football. Theres no way a football coach can come up with a starting line up during spring practice. Spring practice is fairly new to Ky. football. I don't see where the benefit is when a coach doesn't have a full team to work with in the spring practice.

one state championship in what 22 years all a sudden makes them high caliber, come on!

Yeah I know that. Dale is keeping the tradition going and doing a good job at it.

This is a great rivalry. I hope never to see this rivalry go away.

Dale has built this program by playing high profile and high caliber teams. NCC does not fit in that class. The only people who want to see the this match up is the NCC fans.

It would be a waste of a game to play NCC. The birds won't benefit anything by playing them. I would rather travel to Louisville and see the birds play St. X, Trinity, or a high caliber team like those two. Even if they lose it will only benefit them later on in the season. Dale has done a good job to make his teams better year in and year out by scheduling great football teams to play. If he scheduled NCC he would be doing an injustice to the program.

Don't forget about watering the field down in 96 to try to take away the outside running game.

I agree with you. I think Wing T might me successful for some area teams but they would need some coaches who know how to coach it.

I think NCC needs to find some property in Newport and build themselves a nice facility. Sharing a field and having to go to different fields to play is ridiculous. Some of you NewCath faithfuls and alumni who have some money need to look into this. If NCC is going to be in the playoffs every year they deserve a facility.
