Mid-Week Thoughts and Questions

Wednesdays are always a little quiet on the blog so I thought I would throw some thoughts and questions out there.

Should we even cover the schools whose coaches choose not to participate in the blog?

Readership of the blog is at an all time high. Thanks for your continued support.

We have a special guest for our week 5 picks video that will air later tonight.

Big game for Riverview this week.

Does anyone know why Monroe and Bedford are playing on Saturday this week?

We do have plans to expand the blog next season.

Any thoughts on the best overall players in the coverage area?

I think Bedford, Carlson, Flat Rock, Huron, Ida, and Riverview are in the playoffs. Not sure about the rest.

Is the Downriver League down overall?

Beyond Hudson, is anyone in the LCAA that good?

Does anyone know how much football officials make?

Sometimes I feel like I now officially have a second job. It’s okay, I enjoy it for the most part.

If I appear to be a little whiny today, I’m just imitating some of our anonymous commenters lately.

The playoff models are out. Check out www.snooze2you.com

Thoughts on Michigan @ Purdue or Notre Dame @ Michigan State?

Forward down the field!

  • They stopped the play and took away a completion I believe. I'm just wondering what happened. It seemed like to mess up by the refs.

  • The idadvertant whistle in the 4th quarter on the cmpletd pass for Jefferson was really bad on their last drive against AP with about 7 min left. Total game changer and feel bad for Jefferson. Turns into a 3rd and out and Jefferson punts. Sad when officials change the game. No doubt Jeffrson should have won.

    Chris and Gary.... Did you guys see or hear about this? I couldn't believe it when I saw it.

  • Let's think about for a second, how many teams in the state wish they could sniff the success CC has had over the last 50 years. Or the last 10 years. Or the last 5 years.

    From time to time ALL programs have down years. As a CC guy, I'll take the very few we have had and be grateful for all the great ones.

    The kids are practicing hard and playing hard. It's all you can ask.

  • I have followed CC football for a long time. I had my own kids and grandkids play in the program. I initially posted anonymous about some of our players and coaches. I feel I made honest assessments of them including the qb's. since running the T CC has had a qb that could either run fast or throw well in play action. At both levels now it's struggle. Teams that have given them trouble over the years have had qb's that were either fast , could throw or both. Even when they made it to the state finals. Physical play is a major part of the T system. If you don't have it for four quarters you struggle. This was true last year, this year, 2002, and 2011. That said you just don't throw out your system year in year out, that's what losing programs do. But you do have to find the right players to play in your system. CC looks like they are struggling to find those player at all levels. So I will apologize if the truth told hurts feelings. But it is an honest opinion of what shows on the failed. To my critics point, it does go far beyond the qb situation. Coaches should be accountable as well. PW an ok win. But they play a weak schedule. Milan was close early but when they decided to be physical CC folded, Riverview totally out played out boys, and Flatrock was an even match and I will leave it at that. Hopefully the kids keep playing hard and gain experience.

  • The Airport Jets have played with heart and determination this season. No reason to take that way from any team. Good luck to all the teams this Friday .

  • I agree, Doug does a good job with the TCC but you guys offer so much more than just scores and stats. It would be nice to hear your thoughts and insight to whiteford and summerfield.

  • Good point on the weather. Could be a good weeekend for upsets. Some of the smaller, well conditioned teams could pull one off.

  • Yep no need for negativity. Just enjoy and let your sons enjoy the last few year most will ever get playing football! Still wondering how enjoyable 80plus degree football is going to be tonight and tomorrow? But I will be there watching sons making memories.
