The list put out there was the preliminary list of schedules/divisions made out by the AD's. It was not an opinion, but rather the proposed schedule/divisions. A few adjustments were made to that initial schedule and divisions.
Proposed CCL/ESCC 2021-2022 Divisions
- Thread starter 3OrangeWhips
- Start date
Two standout subs. Gotta go with the homer pick in this duel. Frankie's all day!
No thank you. I’m certain the feeling is mutual with Pats and DePaul.
Why do people keep trying to get Loyola out of the Blue?
I’m trying to promote them to the CCL Black.
Yeah the Black should be Loyola, MC, Rice, Marist, Naz, JC, Rita, and Montini
Loyola has been the best CCL team over the past decade, the Blue is considered the best division of the CCL/ESCC. Take Loyola out of it and you lose some of that mystique, until Loyola is no longer a top 4-5 team in the CCL/ESCC they belong in the Blue, and there is no valid argument for them to be in any other division.
Gas prices and wear and tear on the car driving up there.....
Can’t speak for everyone but I loved when ND and LA would go at it week 2 every year.
I would love to get NND back on the schedule. Good for both schools. I just don’t think pats and DePaul would be competitive.
Me too.
LA has been in a division with the southside powers (plus PC up until recent years) for so long that I, for one, am curious about what it would be like to play schools that draw from the same Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs. That's something that the southside schools have had (for the most part) year in and year out that LA doesn't have. I think it makes for more intense football rivalries (see Marist vs Rice and Rita vs MC).
I think LA vs NDCP is a great example of an awesome football rivalry that should have been but has never really materialized. I wish that Carmel Catholic and Viator were more competitive than they have been in recent years because then I could definitely see a geographic division of LA, NDCP, Carmel Catholic and Viator making sense.
Hopefully one day schools like ND and Carmel and Viator can give Loyola those rivalries. It really is great to have those rivalries with SR & BR & Marist to a degree. Those rivalries exist because both teams in those games have a competitive history against each other and it gives each team a realistic chance to win the games most years. I’m not sure ND, Carmel or Viator stand a chance against Loyola for the foreseeable future.
I can't think of a more intense game than the SR/LA playoff game in 1963 that Rita won with a last second two-point conversion. I wasn't there, and I wasn't a student at either school, but the intensity of that game reverberated through the city like the largest earthquake ever recorded.
Wait.....what?? I knew I liked you
I understand, but you took my words out of context. I said more intense football rivalries and you said more intense football. Two different things, IMO.
If you asked Rita guys who their most intense football rival is, none would say Loyola. If you asked Loyola guys who their most intense football football rival is, none would say Rita. I seriously don't know who that would be right now for Loyola other than perhaps NT. When I was at Loyola, our biggest rival was Gordon. Prior to that, it was probably St. George.
Not only a tent, Montini will bring the speakers and music with them to the Library, I mean Naz.
Hitting Frankies on the way to this game.
What's the date of this game?

What about Maine South? It seemed like an intense rivalry a few years back.
It's not a geographic rival, but it seems LA and Marist are developing a nice rivalry after Marist had some success against the Ramblers with the two wins in 2019.
If you ask the Rita alumni the big game is MC.
If you ask the Rita general student body I think they may say BR.
But if you want to measure the intensity level of hate -
It has to be Marist girls vs Mother McCauley - it can get vicious.....
When I was at LA, we played MC every two years. That was the game we circled on the calendar. No one gave a shit about NT unless it was hockey or lacrosse.
The delicious irony of the poor grammar in this sentence has me positively giddy.
Ha you got me. I changed a word and didn't read it again. But in all seriously @Wassup13 what was meant by the Library comment? Is it that quiet at Naz games?
Not a chance they join. They love their cushy schedule.
Just kidding. Naz fans are loud. I do think Naz has to keep the music down due to their close neighbors but at Montini the music is loud.
Also like to hear the Naz band.
CCL/ESCC realigns its divisions for fall season
Joliet Catholic and Providence will play for the first time since 2015 after the CCL/ESCC mega football conference realigned its divisions for the next two years of play.
