Did someone write this for you? Kubacki? Or eaglemercenary?I feel I know this St Edward team at least enough to comment. I don't see another 48-6 ending. The anticipated rain and colder conditions should produce a closer outcome. And that's regardless of any talent considerations.
Ignatius (the Evil Empire) has improved since back to back loses to St Edward and Moeller. If I had to provide a margin, I'd say St Edward should win by 10-15. Can Ignatius win? Sure. We're talking about young kids that are influenced by emotion, excitement, and the storybook tale of Coach Kyle's impending retirement. Those are great motivators.
St. Edward has the superior talent and is the superior program. That said, this isn't as big a rivalry game to St Edward players as the alumni and supporters of both programs think. Is this a big rivalry? Sure, but I could argue a lot of these St Edward players feel Hoban is their true rival. I sensed a lot of St Edward players got way more satisfaction out of beating Hoban this year than beating Ignatius.
St Edward players view this as business. Its another game. They know they have to stop #7, #25, #10. #12, #9 and #14, and if they don't, they will lose. The emotion of Ignatius won't play on St Edward. It will help Ignatius, but it won't rattle St Edward.
Ignatius has to find an answer for #47 and #34 on the St Edward DL and deal with the huge St Edward OL. If they don't they will lose. No one talks about #77 Ricky Wolverton on St Edward (the center) but he may be the most productive lineman of the bunch. And the big three #71, #74 and #76 are all back next year.
I wish Coach Kyle the best win or lose, but as a St Edward alumnus, I'm glad we wont have to face him moving forward. He ruined a lot of Saturday nights for me!
I now believe we are getting an OT nailbiterSt Ed's is a lock by 20.
Multiple years Ed’s has had the better team on paper yet Coach Kyle has had a better scheme and pulled out an upset. Don’t be over confident and let’s see how the game plays out.Ignatius might have improved but squeezing by cle hts is not an accomplishment, Ed’s beat Hoban and Moe to end the season. They have blown the doors of the first 2 playoffs opponents. If anything Ed’s has improved even more. The young studs they have keep gaining valuable playing time.
only chance Ignatius has in this game is if Ed’s turns the ball over multiple times and completely botches everything. Multiple pick 6 / Fumbles , punt return / kick off returns.
that being said I don’t ever remember an eagles team being unprepared by Lambardo. It might not be a running clock but it’s gonna be a 2 plus score win.
couldn’t have wrote it any better whipping Kyle twice in a year , sending him into retirement.
You are a fool troll. It wasn't the winning by 1 pt you nitwit, it was how the second half was played, including energy and playcalling while posting 28 unanswered to tie and outscoring 36-7.Ignatius might have improved but squeezing by cle hts is not an accomplishment, Ed’s beat Hoban and Moe to end the season.

Come back with that same energy when the wildcats get running clocked again. Can’t waitYou are a fool troll. It wasn't the winning by 1 pt you nitwit, it was how the second half was played, including energy and playcalling while posting 28 unanswered to tie and outscoring 36-7.
I know, you despise Kyle. If I was owned for many years by 1 guy, I guess I would too. But to be a complete canoe, good lord man
This game will be closer this time around. While Ed's should win, this remains a rivalry game. Ed's will look to shorten the game by controlling the clock with the running game. The Cats will dare the Eagles to throw the ball with extra athletes in the box. Special teams could play a big role as well. Field position can change an outcome.No, the talent gap is too wide. (But the Ignatius kids will leave it all out there)
I'm around here win or lose. You would know that, but you are new here.Come back with that same energy when the wildcats get running clocked again. Can’t wait
I enjoy the rivalry in ALL sports. There are ebbs and flows in most sports. Boys from my neighborhood, over a few decades, attend the two schools about equally. Coached many boys in CYO who went on to do good athletic things at St. Ed's. We lost to St. Ed's in football four years in a row when I was in high school. The sun kept coming up regardless.I'm around here win or lose. You would know that, but you are new here.
Funny only been around for 10 plus years sorry I don’t live my life on a hs forum.I'm around here win or lose. You would know that, but you are new here.
Being on occasionally, I sure don't live my life here. Ask my wife, family and law firm clients. I appreciate the concern though, it's admirable. You sure don't act how most of the alumni and students do between these 2 schools.Funny only been around for 10 plus years sorry I don’t live my life on a hs forum.
Law firm clients …… this is exactly the reason I can’t stand Ignatius alumni , the white collar better than you mentality persists .Being on occasionally, I sure don't live my life here.

I'm biased. 5 min to bwick stadium for me and takes an eternity to get out of Alabama, I mean strongsvilleI like Euclid for the venue. Good spots to eat/drink beforehand. Intimate stadium (no track) and it'll be filled up. I'd rather have the game be at a full stadium compared to 70% of Byers (which was my estimate for the regular season game).
Not a long drive for anyone off of 90, even on the west side (longer to get to Brunswick for me).
Eds is clearly the favorite, but if the line was over 20 I'd stay far away. I'm thinking a 24-10 or 24-17 kind of game.
@ CatAlum:Did someone write this for you? Kubacki? Or eaglemercenary?
Back in the Gibby days, I‘d put more credence in your knowing the mindset. Now? Aren’t you’re just a guy standing up at the top of Lakewood Stadium on game night, hangin’ out at The Public House the rest of the week?
