swm - that sucks too! Now throw in another called back td, call back every 2nd half play over 10 yards, and lose by 1 point and you can see just how ridiculous this was.
Yes "tooth", jealous. If not jealousy then you just hate UHS. Please enlighten us as to which it is. No one would spout venom like you for any other reason. Also, I notice you say it's hilarious to claim the refs played a huge part in Kirtland's "win", but I have a question for you: how many teams would win a game against a good team when they have 3 yes called back? Your answer is going to be hilarious! I think you may be angry because the Irish have beaten your team recently? Maybe even the last several times you played?
Come on people! Stop being jealous of Ursuline's success. They may not have played their best football in the second half, but anybody who was there saw 3 tds called back, every UHS offensive play in the 2nd half of 10 or more yards called back. If you don't think that matters when playing the reigning state champs, you are clueless about sports in general and football in particular. Kirtland wasn't good enough to win on their own, but are good enough that when repeatedly presented with that many opportunities to win, usually will. Every one of those officials should be ashamed. The kids from BOTH teams earned the right to play in that game, and to have a fair chance to win. The game was handed to Kirtland.
chuck you are right! also; let's see if the Vindy lets this just "go away" or if the vindy applies some pressure. This will say a lot, one way or the other whether the vindy has any real journalistic credibility!
joebag- good question RE: the fine gentleman. Always thought that incident just died down too quickly, never heard anything about any of those "gentlemen" being held accountable. briant; I've been around the other private schools (1 of which you say "sucks") quite a bit; so I feel safe in saying that the parents, coaches and EVERYONE else on staff at either one of those schools (UHS, YCS) would have put an immediate halt to the inappropriate activities at Mooney's celebration that night.
Cardswin: You'll no doubt soon notice that Goodcatholic has no response to your request for facts, except to say that your 4% figure above is "inflated". Goodcatholic will eventually come back with some other nonsense in a weak attempt to redirect the discussion and draw attention away from the lack of any type of evidence for his statements.
I feel bad for all of the whiners on this site! You look for any excuse when your team/s don't win. Most of the comments made by the whiners show that they have no idea what they are talking about. The bottom line is this: the vast majority of the kids (and the parents that send them) that go to private schools choose to go when they are very young. That includes the athletes. Athletic tradition is only ONE of the reasons. Look into it for yourselves.
