hwy35tigers Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Not trying to start anything, but they have been outscored 102-7 over the first two weeks. Perennially they have shown much better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perennially they have shown much better? JMO, but the talent there has really dropped off the last few years. Add to that the losses to graduation and young players learning a brand new system (they’ve been in Armstrong’s program their whole lives) and you have a recipe for a thin season. If the new guy is as good as advertised, he will get it turned around, but it might take a year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EazyMoney Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I agree. Corrigan has been to the playoffs 22 straight years, but that streak could be in jeopardy. The district is expected to be pretty competitive after Newton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrigancamden09 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I’m gonna be honest .. I wish we would have never left the wing T... CC has always been known as a ground n pound team .. it’s just what we do , yes you might stop it but guess what we gonna run it right back at you .. ive been watching CC football a very long time and this is the worst I’ve ever seen us look ! Team looks absolutely lost and can’t get nothing going .. they better dig down deep or the streak will end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I’m just stuck in tradition , I love a good ground n pound game .. too much has changed IMO, the bulldog was taken off our helmets that’s been on there my whole life since I’ve been watching.. and all the tradition was painted over in the locker room and weight room..

Years of tradition gone .. I really hate to hear that. I'm real big on tradition too. Isn't Coach Ratliff from CC? You think he'd keep those traditions. He is a good coach, imo. He was here in ND for a while. I liked him. I always felt he was unfairly treated/let go. The kids really seemed to buy in to him and played hard for him. Given a little more time, I believe CC fans will like him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyMoney Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I was surprised to see the blowout loss to Centerville, especially after New Waverly had their way with them in Week 1. I see, at best, a 2-8 or 3-7 kind of year for the Bulldogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diehard Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Our sophomore class is special and CC was the only team to beat those kids in 8th grade. CC has talent. To run the spread you need some big linemen. CC has had smaller 200lb guys instead of the 250lb you need for the spread.....IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the wing T.... we returned the 5 freshman that was on varsity last year , and moved up a jv team that only lost one game.. you don’t go from that to where we are now .. in my opinion we need to get back to the wing T and get back to bulldog football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect example of if you operate the right way you don’t have to have big kids. sure big kids help...but they’d help any offense. A true “spread” and not just a running team in the shotgun is all based on getting rid of the ball quick in the pass game and controlling defenders in gaps in the run game. And then you find the defenders that have double responsibilities and pick on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
