Late 80's teams. Jeff Weber is old.
Ok. Maybe it was '89 team that beat Moeller. He was a good safety for Elder.

So much so, that pboy (Omar) was devastated that his son didn't go to Elder. I think he typed "Weber" 6,895 times in the Elder forum over the years.Ok. Maybe it was '89 team that beat Moeller. He was a good safety for Elder.

Correct. Elder 1988 team was first GCL team to beat Moe in 17 years or something like that. And then beat Moe again in playoffs before Jonny Mattress Vikings were too much. Elder 1989 was undefeated until first round playoff loss to Moe.Correction. It was the Elder '88 team that beat Moeller for the first time ending Moeller's GCL win streak of many years. Elder's '89 team also beat Moeller winning GCL back to back years. Both teams lost in playoffs though. '88 to Princeton and '89 to Moeller I think.
Was Coach Hilvert a member of the 88 Elder Team? Looks like Moeller the team to beat in GCL and possibly the State this yr.Correct.

I was coaching at Lourdes and remember him, his teams would beat all the westside teams by 50 and they all would then cry.Coach Webs wasn't the most welcome ex-westsider due to his coaching "philosophy" at IHM.
Haha - yep! In football and basketball.I was coaching at Lourdes and remember him, his teams would beat all the westside teams by 50 and they all would then cry.
Yes GBMDon't know what's been most disappointing this year, the play of the o-line, the front 6 on d, the punting, or the coaching.
Yes Hilvert graduated in 1989. He played on 88 Elder team.Was Coach Hilvert a member of the 88 Elder Team? Looks like Moeller the team to beat in GCL and possibly the State this yr.
why do you care? you can get your tube sock out and enjoy the victory.Kicking a FG down 28 in the 4th qtr at the 12 yard line? That’s terrible.
Why do you care about teams other than Oak Hills? It was a stupid decision, that made zero sense.why do you care? you can get your tube sock out and enjoy the victory.

I think it's a shame that your HC emphasized player mistakes in the post game interview. Having seen a majority of the Bombers games I would point the finger at the HC, OC and DC. Special teams are not that impressive as well. It would seem to me that the entire coaching staff would have made the necessary adjustments coming out of week one to at least cut down on the number of fixable errors and coach the kids up for crying out loud.

It’s what losers do. As is blaming player mistakes in an absolute beatdown that showed zero adjustments.Kicking a FG down 28 in the 4th qtr at the 12 yard line? That’s terrible.
He’s not my HC.I think it's a shame that your HC emphasized player mistakes in the post game interview. Having seen a majority of the Bombers games I would point the finger at the HC, OC and DC.

I didn't see what actually happened there, but he looked to be in an awful amount of pain.That was painful to watch on most every front!
My heart goes out to MCCLATCHEY.
Following his being walked off the field and heading towards the Elder Locker room he left on a gurney. He looked to still be in pain with someone supporting his right arm. Whatever the injury be, upper arm, shoulder or collarbone; X has lost him for weeks and you have to think possibly the year.I didn't see what actually happened there, but he looked to be in an awful amount of pain.
I agree. I mentioned a couple weeks ago things didn't seem right and that changes could be coming. I think it's the right move, but also wasn't a fan of how he called it out in the interview. But I think it's necessary. It will be tough to right the ship this year, but will pay dividends down the line.I think it's a shame that your HC emphasized player mistakes in the post game interview.

Yikes, that is a shame. An upper body injury that requires a gurney is probably a season ender.Following his being walked off the field and heading towards the Elder Locker room he left on a gurney.

Damn Shame!
He could have phrased it better, and remember he was asked specifically about the QB switch. The coaching in all facets has been poor this season, with two wins left on the table, and huge flops following each. If it continues, I'd expect coordinator changes in the off-season, I can't see Specht being that tolerant. Reminds me of the 2018 season, which I think may have been the last year Specht was the OC. If he's the ST coordinator this year maybe it's a sign that he can't handle juggling both.I agree. I mentioned a couple weeks ago things didn't seem right and that changes could be coming.

Players have to execute at the end of it all. You can have world class coaching but if players aren't executing its a wrap.I think it's a shame that your HC emphasized player mistakes in the post game interview.

So it sounds like it's a development issue. Like with last years seniors when they were demolishing teams why were other guys not getting reps until the last possible minutes? Even this year there have been opportunities to get back ups in to get some real work, but they would keep all the starters in. Did they starters need more work or what was the logic?I think you are putting too much on the coaching. The 2020 team had several all-decade seniors and a very strong junior class. The 2021 team had that class as seniors but they were not deep. Any injury subs struggled. This senior class has very little playing experience and seems to be missing a couple game changers. Pretty sure Specht can still win if he has OL pancakes, DL absorbing double teams, and skilled players faster than the other team.
It has been a long time but I remember Elder running back an onside kick for a td vs XX obviously got drilled!! They looked softer than Omar the Dbag!! First time in a long long time that Elder Special Teams has played significantly better than their opponent. Kudos to the Elder Players, they clearly came to play and have been improving week to week.
2008. X also had a snap over the punter's head that ended in a safety in that game.It has been a long time but I remember Elder running back an onside kick for a td vs X
