I think we can all see that now that the CCC wasn't as strong this year as many of us figured. Glastonbury's performance actually shocked me more than Conard's. Strange league this year. They have two shots left to turn the perception around somewhat on Saturday. Conard? No big deal at all. I think we can all see that now that the CCC wasn’t as strong this year as many of us figured.

Wed, 02 Dec 2009 20:22:04 +0000 http://blog.ctnews.com/hssports/?p=1619#comment-7671 SPB, comment #79 was not an affront to your statement that Conard was "for real." I really appreciate the coverage that you provide and your help in following the season and the playoffs. I definitely do not believe in applying the transitive property to the Nth degree in high school football where so many other factors than skill come into play, but Conard's 10-0 record was seriously lacking a hallmark win to legitimize it amongst the traditional Class L favorites. I think a position of being skeptical until proven otherwise for schools like Conard is fair even if it's unkind.

I actually saw film on Conard. What I didn't grasp was the strength of their offensive line. Strength of schedule should be taken into account, but it's not everything.

Division II CCC vs. arguably the best team in the SCC = Mismatch.

RIDGEFIELD I saw them against a poor Stamford team and a good Staples team. Without a doubt they were one of the worst teams I have seen this year. They can't score. If Ridgefield played West Havens schedule they would have won two games. I;m being polite. Maybe one game.

You said we shouldn't be in and then said we are qualified. I know we are qualified and you should too after that scrimmage. Simsbury1, you completely contradicted yourself.
