A win tonight will calm the masses. I'm not sure I've seen a undefeated football team as scrutinized as this one by former players. It's not wins or losses they're complaining about, yet. It's the product and talent on the field.Originally posted by listen&learn:
I think you'll find that the trouble on Poplar Level, as you describe it, is overstated. Where are you getting the reports of dismay? The Tigers are 2-0. Coach Wolford, to his credit, realized he didn't have an experienced, cohesive staff. He fixed that. They have apparently been much better defensively this year with a (one half) shutout against a Ballard team that scored over 30 last week, and holding a pretty potent Bryan Station offense to 13. If you want to speculate or try to stir the pot, the Tigers could also win the district, beat Manual again, and make the alumni happy. Time will tell. A win at Bowling Green tonight would be a nice place to start. A tall order I know because BG is an outstanding program that's really tough at home. I think you're throwing dirt on the grave prematurely.
Hah man I'm a journalist. We live for this stuff. And yeah I have seen this St.X team in a game (against Ballard before it was called) and practice. And like I said they're not a bad team but in standards of the green and gold they're not held in high regard.Originally posted by listen&learn:
I'm curious...have you seen St. X play? Are the Trinity former players disgruntled because they're 6-8 in their last 14 games? Both of these programs have high expectations. I'm sure the X followers you refer to are former Glaser guys. No one could live up to him in their eyes. Probably some of the same people grumbled about Glaser's offense & thought it was time for a change. They're like wives...never satisfied! Before spreading rumors of Coach Wolford's situation, how about we play a few more games? I don't know if Wolford is the right man for the job or not. I just feel like you're trying to create more drama than necessary.
You're probably right St. X lost some of it allure when Trinity won three straight titles before last year.Originally posted by listen&learn:
I think we're on the same page for the most part. I don't think this is anything new for St. X, though; their status had begun to slip under Coach Glaser. Wolford has been charged with regenerating some of the pride & tradition. That won't happen without bumps & slips. My main point is let's let him have a little time to put his program together before we start implying his demise. The only thing we disagree on is Manual & Male getting all the middle school kids. I think Trinity's roster would belie that statement.
It was the kind of game that makes old guys like me feel alive. I've been lucky to witness several of these over the last few years. Our fans are not known for their manners, but they got up and gave St. X a hand as they left the field.Originally posted by tommy2tone:
This must have been one heck of a football game.
