As an loyal fan of Catholic leauge football I was very disappointed watching mt. Carmel running up the score on another private school,I understand mr.lenti is no longer there but I don't ever remember him stepping that low in a game.im sure that I'm not the only one that feels this way.
Conratulations to mt.carmel,on their long trad ion of winning state championships,BUT
- Thread starter wasdo
- Start date
Agree with that Wasdo, but Coach Lynch will have to live with it, not the MC players or the MC fans. After seeing how they demolished Naz and being a CCL/ESCC fan, I now think Mount Carmel is the best team in the State of Illinois. Let the battle begin!
I'm glad this is finally being brought up..
They could have beaten anyone last night, including ESL and LWE.
Maybe this will take us away from all the harping and carping about the last TD, a running example of OCD if there ever was one.

I actually had the same feeling with ESL and PR. Game was in the bag late Q4 and ESL was still all gas no brakes, put it in reverse and run them over again.
Nazareth should have played Defense and not allowed mount Carmel to score then........ stop whining
If I can recall correctly, and I CAN, wasn’t PR the last to score after ESL put in their second string DBs???
OHHHH!!!!! OKAY!!!!! ESL put in their 2nd string defense in their last defensive stance which lead to a late PR touchdown. Then, ESL went into victory formation on their last drive with a little over a minute left. But somehow you’re trying to drag ESL into this????
Feeling kinda “participation trophy-ish”????
Agreed...How does ESL get brought up in this?
Totally agree with you. Esl played with class. Obviously coached to play that way. There’s no way they should be lumped with Mt. Carmel’s action.
BOOM BOWIE!
I’m not gonna address this here.
This guy who seems to be reasonable addressed it in a manor that is not only superior to my bull in china shop manor, but presents the obvious in a way that only a real jag could disagree with him.
My way is way too sophomoric... but it is honest

Admittedly, I may be reading more into your intro than you may have intended with your words, but I’ll ask for clarity anyhow. Would it have been okay to run the score up on a public school? Please don’t shoot me for my misinterpretation if that is the case.
@wasdo I think Naz got their revenge when #50 cheap shotted Odeluga knocking him to the ground and then #45 stood over him and gave him fake chest compressions. Your not proud of MC, you use this board to bash Lenti being replaced. That’s your right but don’t insult these kids with a fake congratulations so you could use it as a springboard. There is 4 pages of this matter being discussed on the soon to be flushed MC/Naz thread
Never acceptable, regardless public or private.
Mr. Lenti’s bar is set as low as it goes with the way he left MC, airing the schools and programs dirty laundry and still crying about it in interviews this year. Even went as far to dis MC’s new stadium earlier this season....
MC played great yesterday but a stretch on saying they would have beat ESL and LWE- totally two different teams- with strong O Lines
You cant.put Naz after MC with that performace.last night. I would drop them way down and consider getting Rochester up there.
1 bad performance against a better team in unfavorable conditions doesnt define a season.
I totally agree that the hit and “cpr” were unacceptable but I think it is fair to point out the player who was hit took a late hit on a Naz player earlier. An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind, so retaliation is just as bad as instigating but I think it’s worth pointing out what may have caused it. It’s a bit foggy but here’s the link. And if I’m misidentifying anyone I sincerely apologize. The first link is the late hit you mentioned and the one below is the other
Can you post a link to the interviews where he disses MC’s new stadium? I’d be interested to hear that

It was an interview on barstool sports in August/September this year. I love Frank, he coached me and my brother, graduated from MC with my late father, but he has taken it too far.
I know for a fact that someone reached out to him because alums that he coached wanted him to come to a small gathering at the school with former players of his at the stadium and school. This would've had nothing to do with the school and just was going to be a thanks and former teams get together. He told the organizer NO but in much harsher terms. I'm really disappointed in that
Fyi, here's the interview when he belittles the new MC stadium. The funny thing is my dad helped lay the grass on that field when it initially became a practice field in 1988. I dumped some of my father's ashes there before the BrRice game in the end zone by the tracks on the west end zone.

He calls the stadium a “practice field with extended seating” or something like that.
And in the back where the player couldn’t see/protect themselves. Heat of the jersey can get to us all, no matter the experience level someone is playing at. Doesn’t make it right, but can be used as a teaching moment for these young men as they move forward. Learn from it and be better.
I can feel how torn you are between your loyalty and love for Frank and the school. I just finished the watching the interview and saw Frank as a humble man in a humble house giving us his honest thoughts. I did not hear him bashing the school or the students and his other co worker teachers. He obviously has lingering feelings towards the administration but I commend him for his restraint. Regarding the discussion about the field, there was no bashing, he stated that it was his practice field that had additional seating and a press box installed. Again, not a disrespectful statement.
I also gather he’s a serious man who doesn’t sugarcoat things, as evidenced when he spoke about McNabb and McGrew. He chose McGrew but in a way that was not disrespectful to McNabb. Interesting about him discussing the veer and what coaching is meant to be. An experienced leader of men and a winner is what I got out of the interview.
