@dmcarnevale @louis_pullano @985TheSportsHub @ZoandBertrand In 2021, CM beat Hendricken 55-28. In 2022, CM beat LaSalle 47-7 and Hendricken 48-6.

@dmcarnevale @louis_pullano @985TheSportsHub @ZoandBertrand Rhode Island only has 42 football teams total and 4 of them are privates. Tall order to apply the Jersey model or any model to RI.

@FrankMadden4004 @MrLogic2026 @TimeBobby3 @985TheSportsHub @ZoandBertrand 2019 was the last time CM was in D1 4 football.

@_Boerman_ @FrankMadden4004 @MrLogic2026 @TimeBobby3 @985TheSportsHub @ZoandBertrand Last private school with football in WMass was Cathedral (PF predecessor). Last few years of that program they were lucky to have 15 kids suit up for Thanksgiving. TFN, no plans 4 football at PF.

@crooks__ @Drunk_Schefter @985TheSportsHub @ZoandBertrand CM plays D2 because they opted up to D2. They were originally placed in D4 in the first alignment of the current state format and D3 in the most recent. Next realignment comes up for 2027. This is not a defense of CM. Is what it is.

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@CoachDalicandro @Andy_Villamarzo @On3Richie @AlecCr12 @UConnOn3 Not defending CM but they opted up to D2 after having been placed in D4 and D3 in previous alignments. Re-alignment comes up again for 2027. We'll see what happens if CM is slotted for D3 again if there is a Super 8. Again, not a defense of CM. Is what it is.

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@_TomDowney @newftbj Football realignment in 2027. It's possible CM could be slotted 4 D3 like the current realignment and choose to stay in D3 for that realignment period instead of opting up.

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@DuganRyan8 @newftbj Football realignment is up in 2027. What if CM is slotted for D3 (with the Super 8) and chooses to stay there for that realignment period? Do you take a page out of CT and add a Success In Tournament formula for schools of choice like the privates?

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@JC1702021 @AlexAgrellaRB Not every private school could play D1 or D2.

@RadioFreeTom Cloud cover looks identical in both pics.

@BHallWrites @AlexAgrellaRB In last 2 meetings, CM outscored Hendricken 103-34.

@RadioFreeTom More like Peter from The Family Guy.

@DannyHolg AFAIK, he does that for a living. I don't. I based my opinion on info I got from the MIAA website and Arbiter. The same info anybody interested in this stuff can look up. And again, it's just my opinion. You're welcome to disagree. Happy Easter.

@AlexAgrellaRB Do you know for sure that Springfield Central would buy in to the Super 8 model? Do you have someone from the school on the record as saying yes?

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@AlexAgrellaRB I did see the video and if you go through with the Private 8 bracket, you're just going to see the same 3 schools (X, SJP, CM) dominate year to year in that bracket, just like in the Catholic Conference. The other schools would have no chance.

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@FarinellaMark @CoachKopcso Some coaches want an all-Catholic football bracket but the problem with that is you only have 18 of those schools in all of MIAA Football. Of the 18, 10 play in Divisions 5-8. And of the 10, only half made the playoffs in 2025.

[Bob Slugoski @bobspost96]

@newftbj I don't know how you can justify an all-Catholic bracket when more than half of the Catholic privates in MIAA Football play at a Division 5 thru 8 level; and only half of those teams were playoff-bound in 2025.
