Just because you say so?  LOL

Well, I am pretty close to the program.  So i would know better than you would.  LOL.

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

Hahahahahaha.  Ok

[Sports Freak20]

And every Cathedral person on this board said the same

It is irrelevant to your original question...which team is better.  Sorry, that was your original question.

You asked a question. It was answered. Sorry if you don’t like it. There’s no valid argument to be made that suggest otherwise.

That was the 2020 team.

I’ll revise my comment then.. this team is WAY better than the 2019 team. 2020 was better than the 19’ team, and 2021 is better than the 20’ team. Not even close between the 19’ and 21’ team. 

[CaptainHook]

2019 had 4 FBS seniors  (QB, OL, LB, S) and 2 junior (OL, WR)...I might be missing some.  Just because they didn't win a title doesn't mean they weren't a good team.

Never said they weren’t good… just said they aren’t nearly as good as this team.

Nobody said 2019 wasn’t a good team. You asked if the 2019 team was better than the 2021 team. They weren’t, not by any measure. They weren’t better then the 2020 team either. The 2015 team had a QB commit to Maryland, an OL commit to Alabama, a RB commit to USC, and an OLB commit to Ohio State. That team wasn’t better than this years team and I have zero hesitation stating that.

Just because you dominate a watered down pandemic-year, doesn't necessarily make you the best all time Cathedral team.  C'mon.

What’s your end game here? To get one of us to say New Pal beat the best Cathedral team of all-time (2019). You’re delusional if you think that’s going to happen.

Hah!  Nope.  Just funny the statements you are making about the last two years.  Laughable really (you proved my point with 2015 comparison).

[BTF]

Wasn't there a lot of talk in 2019 how great Cathedral was until they lost to New Pal?

The 2021 team would have beaten the 2015 team by multiple scores. Team was full of great individual talent but doesn’t have anywhere near the depth the 2021 team has. 

[CaptainHook]

From 2010 to 2014 Cathedral won 5 straight state championships and sent at least two of those players to the NFL...we'll check back in a few years, I guess.

They were a good team, who has said otherwise? They weren’t better than either the 2020 or 2021 teams.

I don't have any idea who is better. I just remember in 2019 there was a lot of talk about how good the Irish were.

Cathedral was very good in 2019, again I’m missing where its been said they weren’t??

Nope.  I'm just shocked anybody would compare the last two Cathedral teams to the best all time.  They weren't even the best in the state either year.

Nor were they in 2019 or 2015 teams with four high major recruits, two of them who will be playing on Sunday’s with one already there. Again, what is your freaking end game here? You asked a question, you got the same unanimous answer three different times from three different posters in a matter of five minutes. Don’t like? Well I don’t really give a sh*t. Move on.

Why are you so angry?  End game?  This is a message board.  Relax.

I was talking a McLaurin and Werner...who are you talking about?

[BTF]

I was doing a bit of research on this Cathedral '19, '20, & '21 thing and noticed that Center Grove lost 16 games between 2017 and 2019. Kind of off topic, but interesting.

Ekiyor will be in the NFL next year. Cathedral no doubt had some impressive individual talent (as well as good teams) in the time frame you’ve referenced, but none of those teams were as a deep and/or collectively strong as the last two Cathedral teams. I don’t know why you need to fight it?

I went to Lawrence Central...so I know a bit about Cathedral.  I just find it interesting that anyone would call this team (or last years) the best all time.  Way, way, way too early for that.  C'mon.
