If you do make it to Tech Friday, please come by and enjoy the Cathedral tailgate!

I disagree, USC is very ordinary.

Good choice for comeback of the year!

I'm mixed on this one. I feel that it's OK for coaches to move around so maybe it should be OK for the players too. I do agree that this is creating a real wild scene.

I agree Bob. Rival or not they should have taken USC to the woodshed! It seems they played a prevent defense, especially in the 2nd half. It seemed they just wanted to coast at times. I sure was glad to see Markese have a big game. I talked to his dad recently and he said he's be ready for this one. He needs to get the rock on a regular basis, imo.

Markese is a very smart young man but evidently not smart enough for Notre Dame. It was not his choice to forgo his commitment to the Irish. Everything has ended up well and Markese should have a very successful career at USC. He was awesome last night for sure. I sure hope he stays healthy during his college career.

JV score: Cathedral 27, Brebeuf Jesuit 0

This should be a better game this year. It was quite one sided last season. I sure hope the weather is better than last week!

I would have settled for that! It was low 40's, raining hard and windy as all get out at Brebeuf last night! And it was a swirling wing!

Does anyone have any information on Camden Jordan's injury? I sure hope it's not severe! I realize it's hard to get information on such things now, I just want to know if he's gonna be OK.

It was brutal on the northside of Indy. Rain, swirling winds and falling temperatures made it difficult to play and equally difficult to watch. It was like playoff type weather x2. Hard frost here on the westside of Indy this morning.

Cathedral 21, Brebeuf Jesuit 7. Thank God for Field Turf! (it's good this one wasn't played at Arlington)

It was wet, windy and cold tonight and Cathedral persevered 21-7 over Brebeuf Jesuit with two late TD's. Believe me it was miserable in the stands tonight, and equally as bad on the field. It was hard for the players to hold onto the ball. The weather forecast called for rain ending about 7 or 8PM but it rained most of this game, sometimes as hard as it rained all day. The swirling wind was blustery too. More on this one when my fingers thaw.

I'm go with a 3-5-3 defense and spread offense. A dual threat QB makes the spread even better.

Strap on your rain gear and come watch the Irish play tonight! Oh and wear some warm clothes too.

Yep! I saw him play at Butler Bowl against Carmel and Mark Herman. That was a big game!

Thanks for that information. There's not much parking at Brebeuf so there's probably not enough room for our entourage.

I've seen a lot of great ones in my 60+ years of watching Indiana high school football, but the best running back I've ever seen is Cathedral's Otis Shannon. His 489 yards rushing against Cincinnati LaSalle was incredible alone. He had great instincts.

I'm speaking of the traffic situation. I live on the westside of Indy, near Ben Davis, and sometimes it takes me an hour to get to Tech on some Friday nights. It's even tougher coming from the south on most Friday nights. Our roads were built for 1970's traffic and are now overcrowded.

See you at the tailgate Friday, rain or shine!

I hope the Center Grove crowd is massive at Tech next Friday!

It'll be interesting to see how CG travels to play Cathedral, at Tech, in the regular season finale. It is a tough drive from and to Center Grove on any Friday night.
