2024 Football

I understand the X-Moe rivalry, but I will reiterate again the dominance Moe has had for 5+ years.

Since 2000, 3 volleyball state titles, 1 baseball state title, I can't even count the number of final four and finals appearances over that span. They haven't lost a game in the GCL in the rolling year in the big 3 sports. Football GCL champs 3 years in a row, baseball GCL champs 3 years in a row, soccer two years in a row.

Literally, the ONLY school that cannot be second-guessed right now in Cincinnati is Moeller. I'm sure they would have loved to get over that final hump in a couple of these state finals games, but they have been and continue to kill it on the athletic fields. Domination.
You for forgot track, GCL champs two years in a row….
 
Five years ago, Moe decided to follow the LaSalle football blueprint, minus the State Titles. Hire youth football coaches to recruit inner city, maximize vouchers to full extent, and subsidize or offer free tuition to some of the best athletes around Cincy. It doesn't limit the success of Crusaders athletics, but it's comical Moe fans can't admit or acknowledge this common practice on Montgomery Rd. It's OK to admit, it's not a secret.

Whether this is true or not, the athletes Moe is assembling/producing year after year is certainly impressive.

Says the guy that's been calling them cheaters and casting holier than thou and incorrect accusations their way for over a decade.

They're just doing it better. It's time to just admit that, that would be respected at least. I know you Elder guys have a tough time accepting the truth.

When you broaden your horizons, all kinds of people are attracted, athletes included. Moe has better band members now too. Better students. Better leaders. Better ambassadors. These are all the result of casting a broader reach.

It's not Moe's fault other schools won't evolve into better versions of themselves.

Just because you repeat the lies over and again doesn't make it true.

I've been here for years (and unlike you, I don't change my screen name repeatedly) so go ahead and share any posts of me calling Moe cheaters.

I'll be waiting.

Staying on topic, the athletes Moe is assembling/producing year after year is certainly impressive.

Those are all facts!

You are beyond delusional, and you know it.

You are 100% part of the crowd that says Elder has been held back because of what others are "doing", instead of coming clean and saying it's actually their own fault they aren't as competitive.

You will also never admit that Moeller is 100% doing it better, even though it is blatantly obvious. Yeah, let me guess "it runs in cycles" - I've got news for you, Elder isn't cycling back to where they were without changes in their approach.
 
It took me 10 seconds to find this and it says it all. Your passive aggressive approach to Elder being the holiest place on earth is well documented and equally nauseating. You will stop at nothing to throw in these consistent insinuations of cheating, and then back track like the front runner you are. You never left high school, and literally still "hate" X and Moe like you did as an immature 16 year old wanting to fight them after a football game. You are also likely part of the "connected" crew of friends of the AD, admin and connected former players/alums that all spew this "everyone is cheating" narrative so they don't have to change and ensure everything remains exactly the same in their favor forever. You claim you want more outside talent, yet the actions of you and yours are exactly the reasons why outsiders won't give Elder a second look - they know it's all fixed for Johnny Elder and his boys because there are so many fans and parents like you. Nauseating.

I would also agree with Trey that Purple Reign loves advertising anything negative or demeaning against a school competing against Elder for enrollment, he has done it countless times. Him and his holy buddies have been doing it for years, the funniest was when he shamed the Cov Cath kid years ago before getting the facts.
He is probably in the front row at church right now telling everyone how holy he is

Back to actual FOOTBALL NEWS: Congratulations to Moeller QB Matt Ponatowski for being named the Ohio All-State D1 offensive player of the year- well earned! I counted about a dozen players from region 4 who made first team All-State with about 30 or so in 2nd/3rd teams and Hon Mentions- congrats to all!

So all of that gibberish to say you couldn't find any posts of me calling Moe cheaters?🤣🤣🤣

The history doesn't go back far. It's obvious what you are on here, you've been called out for it for years. Just another example of you denying the reality that sits right in front of your face. And I posted something from another poster basically saying you do it all the time, because well, you do it all the time.

And you still will not admit that Moe is simply just doing it better. It's part of that chronic Elder homer fan inferiority complex. The 90s and 00s are over. Elder fans REFUSE to give Moe credit because it's exactly where they want to be, they just refuse to admit it. Inferiority 101.

Wouldn't want your buddies seeing you giving Moe credit, they might ostracize you from the circle. Then you'll find yourself sitting by yourself at freshman games like @Omar waiting for the next round of "studs" to underachieve because people like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Fairly certain you should just stop responding to this one, because you've been owned. Again.

Yeah, I'm pretty certain the best tuba player at Moe didn't get the Mr. Ohio Free Tuition deal and Moe's band instructor wasn't solely hired on staff to recruit the inner cities best percussionist. ;)

Who on Moellers roster is from the inner city? You're a clown who for some weird reason likes to fabricate stories.

Moe's always been an athletic powerhouse in the GCL, Cincy, and in Ohio. The recent admit fetish of Moe doing it better is slightly odd considering the decades and decades (showing my age here) of athletic success on Montgomery Rd. When you say Moeller, most individuals immediately connect the Crusaders with a rich athletic tradition. Guess you are looking for a congrats and a pat on the back, so there ya go!
 
So you saying there isn't Hilltop players currently at Moe or been youth football coaches hired for Freshman Football? Yes or No guru? :oops:
There have almost always been a couple of kids in Moellers program that played youth football for Hilltop. It's never been a significant amount and there are no coaches from Hilltop. You are trying to paint a picture that somehow Moeller has some kind of relationship with a youth not even middle school program that is feeding them "inner city" kids and it's not true.
Now if you want to discuss St. X actually building and funding a grade school with the sole intention of building a pipeline of underprivileged kids to come to St. X for free we can do that. Or are you going to make the claim none of those kids will be athletes.

Denial - not just a river in Egypt. 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Hold on, so listing players wasn't really necessary. ;) Also, I mentioned inner-city youth coaches, not specifically Hilltop being hired at Moe.

Discuss away, but St. X isn't building or funding the Xavier Jesuit Academy. As both Jesuit institutions, I'm certain a connection has been made and a strong relationship established.

I wasn't comparing X vs Moe - I was just saying that it's kind of crazy for anyone to be giving Moe s**t recently (last 3-4 years) because they've pretty much dominated the GCL and the city in many sports.

And yes, they get a broad range of kids because they've targeted a broad range of kids. That's all allowed and encouraged now. Moe can recruit students from wherever they want. And stop saying "they just pay kids to come" - wouldn't it be nice if it was that easy. Truly changing your approach and investing in it takes guts, leadership and competence. You don't get these results just by waving some money in front of a couple football players, cmon.

Waiving money and free tuition doesn't hurt (two Mr. Ohio's), cmon!

Moe's consistent success in baseball and basketball is nothing new. As for football, Crusaders had a rough patch, but took the LaSalle blueprint, made it their own, and on a solid run.

Soccer, volleyball, track? They are top tier in almost every sport. Even the harshest critic HAS TO tip their cap and admit they're doing ALOT of things right.

They also seem to be doing just fine financially, and have years of investments in growth coming as well. Outside of some mad illegal ponzi scheme they have cooked up that hasn't crashed and burned yet, just give them their due. They earned it.

For a fan base that claims winning is not important, these dudes are awfully consumed with Moeller Curb stomping the Bombers in every sport. Maybe St. X could work with the GCL and propose to not keep score in all future GCL sporting events? I guess 1600 students from all over the city, and 100M endowment makes it difficult to compete? WDT, all you do is cry.
