    Poster??

    The last time he was on, RockSoup indicated that he was having a religious reawakening. Other posters who were good and who probably will be back: Ignacio and his brethren at Loyola, a few guys from Nazareth, the CPL representatives, and let us not forget ErieOG, celebrating with the saintly...

    Yes, he is a professional agitator, and he likes to target MC.

    The Unofficial East Side VS Mount Carmel Thread

    Having four quarterbacks of nearly equal skill is not a liability but an asset. Although it is always possible that one will enter the portal for greener pastures.

    Always. Both D & O. You know nothing. I'd be surprised if it hasn't been made. And nothing wrong with having a good backup or two. His mother went there.

    4 MC Players commit this weekend

    I too was expecting MC to meet MS in the semifinals, but the Hawks lost to Oswego in the quarters. I'm not sure that revenge would have been a motivating factor.

    4 MC Players commit this weekend

    4 MC Players commit this weekend

    In '95, they had the ball in a tied game with less than a minute left. They then fumbled the ball away and, on the next play, committed pass interference. The wheels were starting to come off, and everyone could sense it. Yes, the referee made a questionable roughing the kicker call. But as...

    4 MC Players commit this weekend

    In 1990, Carmel beat Wheaton Central, 24-0. JCA took 4A and Althoff Catholic 3A. In '91, the Caravan beat the Tigers again, 21-14. The referee was human, not corrupt. . Also in '91, Providence took 4A and ESL crushed GBN, 48-6. All the games are on YouTube.

    MC going undefeated?

    They had the gritty Don Butkus at QB, the smooth Jason Gasser at receiver, and a two-headed running back in Matt Domer and Draco Smith. Frank Lenti never veered from the vintage veer option, and the offense averaged 39 points a game.
