I'm not sure the size of Scecina in that time span, but Cathedral's enrollment was down in the early 1970's and when the Brothers of Holy Cross left, Cathedral was scheduled to close until RV Welch and some other lay people saved it and moved it to its present location in 1976. It also changed from all male to co-ed at that time. Even now the male enrollment is much lower than when I attended Cathedral in the late 50's and early 60's. We had more than 900 young men when I went to Cathedral.
When the playoffs were begun in 1973, Cathedral "opted" to play up. They played at the top level and made it to the finals in 1973 and 1976, losing both games.
And I sure enjoy the "love" temptation has for my irish.π
Thanks, Bob, I try to keep up with what's happening in Ohio, but I've not done so this year. I'll be rooting for St. Eddies for sure. And I wouldn't mind Cathedral getting another crack at them sometime.
The high school rule for a touchback is the ball placed at the 20 yard line. Next level, pro and college the ball would be placed at the 25. There is no fair catch rule in high school football. The ball is placed at the spot the receiver catches it.
I fibbed. I was actually recruited to Cathedral in 1957 as a student. Had to take an entrance exam back then, even though I was a legacy. My brother also was a Cathedral graduate. I guess they still have to pass an exam for admittance?
This game was Taylor made. Jonathon Taylor as about 180 yards rushing some more receiving yards and a franchise record 5 TS's today. He did not sell tickets or popcorn today however.
The entire school is recruited, all 1062 of 'em. That's how a private school fills their classrooms. It was that way in the early 1960's when I was recruited to Cathedral.
Michigan is still getting praised even though they lost to Michigan State and probably will lose to tOSU. I think the only way Michigan wins next week is if Harbaugh retires midweek.βΊοΈ His record in the series is not good. I don't see how Michigan beats tOSU. But even if Michigan magically beats the Buckeyes, then Ohio State has two losses.
Oregon has two losses after getting blown out yesterday at Utah and either Georgia or Alabama is going to lose and if it's 'Bama that'll have two losses. Cincinnati and Notre Dame both have a chance. Notre Dame needs to beat a bad Stanford team on the road next week.
I'd still like to see the Irish not make the playoff and get a nice warm site bowl game.
