I wish I'd seen this before the game.

Not a Giants fan personally but rooting for this guy who I had the pleasure of coaching in youth football. Had 4 tackles last night for the Giants...

Playing a season in the spring makes no sense to me. What happens at the conclusion of the season? You head straight into summer conditioning/practices and then into a fall season with pretty much no break?

I'll be in New Britain for Hand-St Joe's. Bring your rain gear!

Yeah several games over the next couple of weeks will sort the playoff picture a lot.

Ridgefield @ Greenwich Saturday 4pm.

IMHO - a couple of points to make - 1. There is no "preseason." Teams scrimmage but it's basically a practice that tries to simulate game conditions. However coaches are not treating it like a game completely as they are trying to work on things within their own organization. It's not a game...

Behold, The Day's Top 10 state coaches’ poll: 1. Hand (7-0, 11 first-place votes); 2. St. Joseph (7-0, two first-place votes); 3. Darien (7-0); 4. Newtown (7-0); 5. Greenwich (6-1); 6. Bloomfield (7-0); 7. Southington (6-1); 8. Ansonia (7-0); 9. Sheehan (6-0); and, making its season debut, 10...

It will sort itself out. Sheehan gets North Haven and Cheshire. Cheshire gets Sheehan and Southington. If they respectively make the playoffs Sheehan could see Bloomfield & Ansonia. Cheshire could get Darien/Newtown/Greenwich. I'm sure the polls will reflect those results.

I was at Ridgefield-New Canaan. Ridgefield looks legit. They played a great game.

High school football player of the year watch list: The case for six preseason candidates Courant doesn't really venture into Fairfield County so take it for what it's worth.

Yeah Gametime covered this today. No details but he is off the program.

I'm looking forward to a couple of early season games - 9/20 Southington @ Darien 10/11 Newtown @ Shelton

Best park for coasters IMO is Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH

Gametime poll is the media poll. The Day is the coaches poll. The Courant "poll" I think is just one guy at the Courant. Gametime poll will probably be out on the Tuesday prior to the opening week.
