JC at USJ...could/should be a great Division II A matchup

Well, it started out like it was going to be a track meet. The best of both teams was on display. The offensive line for USJ was the difference. They ended up totally dominating and there was nothing JCS could do. The last two weeks, USJ has been in a zone with big win over Hardin Co and now dismantling JCS. I'd love to see a USJ and Union City rematch. I believe there would be a different outcome. 

Only thing surprising is the USJ score. I'd have figured that Christian would be in the 14-24 range and that USJ would have won, but I imagined a run over you and eat up the clock scenario in the 28-35 area. Score tells me that USJ was sending a message, and wanted it heard loud and clear.

Players transferring from USJ to JCS after the preseason four years ago. I think if you’re a coach that’s one you never forget.

That was four years ago. Still sensitive over that?

Actually, JCS was at Columbia Academy this year when a torrential storm hit. They were down 10-7 at the half. I watched the game on live stream and have called a couple of games in the Col Ac. booth. 

You should try harder to live up to your handle. Lol

 

 

I was wrong. My apologies

Nursing petty slights for years is what makes high school football rivalries great, Sucker.

Yes, according  to Kublah, a message was being sent loud and clear. On the other hand, should your team and USJ ever play, you guys would want to send a loud message yourselves. Right? Lol

I sort of meant to the rest of the opponents on USJ's schedule, but it could be applied to this game as well. For the question...if you're being literal about the HC leaving, you couldn't be further off...on the other hand, nobody likes losing to a friend!

Doesn't matter. When you are up by 47 points, not one starter should be in the game. 

Agree - that's just wrong.

Just to be clear, I’m not a coach or involved with the program in any way other than being a fan and alumnus. Normally I like to see the younger kids get work in during a blowout, but in this case, I get it. Definitely not going to complain about our team winning by too many points!

I understand your reasoning as a fan for your support of running the score up Thursday night. However, it's not like USJ has never gained a player or two because of a local transfer. Thus, what goes around comes around. If that's the case, we owe you a couple of beatdowns for transfers lost to the Bruins from a few years ago. Maybe we will collect someday. Lord knows we are probably owed some interest on the account. Lol

To say USJ  ran the score up is not entirely accurate.   USJ scored 2 offensive touchdowns in the 2nd half.  They scored defensively on a blocked punt in 2nd half.   Bruins probably ran less than 15 offensive plays total in the 2nd half.    I agree that USJ has not historically subbed late in games when the game is clearly out of hand.   Most parents of players would love to see that.      It doesn't happen very often in any USJ game much less with another Jackson private school.    There are plenty of reasons why, regardless of if those reasons are valid.         I hope these schools continue to play one another for many years to come.

And the year we shut you guys out at your place, we led 35-0 at the half. If we continued to throw the ball, we could have won by 80 easily. Instead, we tried to end the game quickly.  However, It is what it is. USJ won by a huge margin tonight and the starters played the whole game. I'm sure you will win more games this year by wide margins. You're just that good. It is a fair question to ask though. What do you gain by keeping starters in when the game is well at hand?

your team was better coached and was very good that year.   Trinity fumbled twice and threw a rare oski which was the reason score not higher, not because of some charitable contribution.    The hatred of Bruins runs too deep over there to ever think otherwise.
