It is ironic that when Specht was talked to after that game in 2005, and after the game this year he never said a word about it. You are going to get good calls and bad calls from officials no matter where you go. Overall in that game St. X only had 6 penalties to Cathedral's 5 not very much disparity there.
In all honesty Specht probably should have been praising the officials after the game. It was after all the official tha got in the way of Cathedral's QB when he ran into him and fell to a knee. He did have a receiver open in the endzone, and after that they were forced to kick a FG.
If lone reasons to drop a team is because of some officials, that A.) probably won't be doing the game this year and B.) Cathedral had no control over who is officiating in the first place then I say that is poor judgement. Every coach I have ever met or known, knows that you are going to have your good days along with your bad days with the officials. Blaming Cathedral for something that is out of their control however is pure idiotic.
All of that being said I just spoke to the AD and Asst. AD today and they still say that Cincy St. X is on our schedule, but they did not give a date. the only confirmed date I could get was week 1 @ Carmel because we are webcasting that game.
BTW I am a graduate of Cathedral but I webcast football games from all over Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky. Trust me there are good and bad officials in all the states listed one is no better than the other.
