A good friend of mine talked to the special teams coach for St. X after the game and said that Steve Specht was livid because Highlands told them to be on the field early b/c of the televised game and they subsequently had to wait an extra 15 minutes b/c the Bluebirds used a stall tactic. Steve said he knew they would pull that kind of stuff but came out early anyway. Highlands eventually made their way out of the locker room and the coach blamed that on why ST. XAVIER came out flat for the start of the game. The coach also mentioned the fact that they came out with an entirely different offensive scheme as well. They also claimed the field goal was good. Gotta love the excuses. Go Bombers!

I have total respect for Coach Specht and think he is a class act. It certainly wasn't a 15 minute wait before X took the field. Let's be real. I can completely understand that there may be a timing discrepancy with all the TV stuff but I believe both teams delt with the TV stuff just fine.

Don't discredit a great coach like Coach Specht by laying out there stuff that a friend of a friend of a friend that is the assistant coach to the water boy said.:biggrin:
