That perfectly sums your GID posting history.

But moving along, I prefer this thread stay open. 

Eh, I'll take top 4...

Bet if enough of us pulled our weight you'd get knocked down a peg or two. I'll do my due diligence.

You are trying too hard…no one is laughing.

I impressed Temptation you had your own thread created for you and now you have your own GID troll following you around.

Tickets are bought and the forecast, so far, is for dry weather!

Irish by 4 TD’s. Sorry this Irish team is light years ahead of the team from 3 years ago. 

How would you compare them to the 2019 team?

A lot better. 
 

A lot of Cathedral’s starting D played a bunch as sophomores on the 2019 team.

I believe we are tremendously better than 2019.

DC is good - Stevens is an excellent dual-threat player and they have a couple of threats to go to the house on every play - but Cathedral is otherworldly right now. 

Stevens is out for the year.

Really?  Interesting.

 

I watched Cathedral play in the slop at Arlington in first round.  Not sure I agree.  However, field conditions make it hard to have a good evaluation.

I would say they are 10-14 points better than last years team.. maybe even a field goal better than that.

That was the 2020 team.

Well, against Terre Haute North the starters played a quarter and a half as it was a 56-0.

2020 and 2021 team are both significantly better than the 2019 team. The 2022 class has 40+ seniors and many of them contributing this year contributed as sophomores.

I realize we have hindsight with the 2019 team...but that was a very good team.  QB is walk on at FBS school, LB is at an FBS school, safety could be at FBS school, went Ivy League, as did the RB.  OL at an FBS school.  And this current group of seniors were freshman.  The TE played a lot.

2019 was a good team. They’re nowhere close to being as good as the 2020 and 2021 teams however. Offensively the 2020 team is as good as any Cathedral team I’ve seen, likewise with this years team defensively. A lot of the guys on the 2019 team played on the 2020 and 2022 team.

That's typical. When you have a really good team that *should* win, but are facing a quality opponent, you give the opponent a lot of respect and have cautious optimism. 

Right now, Cathedral is at least 2-3 TDs better than anyone in 5A except maybe Valpo. 

Stevens got hurt against Mooresville—didn’t appear that bad at the time, but I’m pretty certain it ended up being a season-ender.

meh....I'd say 2020 5A was pretty watered down.  No way 2020 team is best all time offensively.  No way.

I’m talking about best all-time at Cathedral. They put a hurting on a ton of non-5A schools in the regular season.

No, I understand.  I meant there is no way that is the best all-time offensive team at Cathedral.  I listed the 2019 players that went FBS...am I missing someone from 2020 team?

Doesn't matter.  The 2020 and 2021 teams are way better than the 2019 team period.

Where the players went is really irrelevant. The 2020 Cathedral team owns just about every offensive single season record in school history.
