Re: Region contenders

It doesn't hurt. I appreciate your thorough and persistent arguments. Andrean does get some good players. "Poaching" is a harsh word when families make a decision to send their kids there. Just like they can choose where to live. Let's start shaming people for living in Valpo too while we are at it!...

Re: Region contenders

CB4, you're just hating. Denying that Andrean has tradition or a solid program from something outside of kids transferring to play there. Kids go there for lots of reasons. Kids go there for genuine academic reasons, or because of family / friends. They're not a bunch of defectors that abandon thei...

Re: Region contenders

Mason, McCormack and St. Germain have all done objectively better than their predecessor / follower. They each turned their program from a sub .400 to a .600 winning program with multiple title game appearances. I would say that they all, and esp. Mason, have had plenty of studs and used their coach...

Re: Region contenders

Rising tuition, school getting older, changing interest in Catholic education. It's not all great in terms of enrollment. You make a valid point. But you are dead wrong about them not being a football program that is built from the ground up. They care and it shows.

Re: Region contenders

Tradition never graduates is the biggest load of crap I ever heard. It never graduates because it moves in every year. When's the last time they fielded a freshman team for football. Don't tell me they're building a solid program from ground up. Didn't a LC kid move in for his senior year to play Q...

Re: Andrean @ Hobart

Scrimmages and week 6 are 2 different things. Most teams get better over time. With the short summer, teams didn't have as much time to prepare, especially offense. Andrean was not in sync in the Valpo scrimmage. That being said, valparaiso's line is huge, on both sides of the ball. So they probably...
