I agree totally with J.J. about playing Southern. I have been a Blue Devil fan for over 50 years. Southern has been our biggest rival for many many years. This is a big in state rivalry that should be continued. I remember in the 60's and early 70's when the whole Southern roster was made up of Connecticut players. Friday night, about half of their players still come from Connecticut. The coverage by the Hartford Courant of any other team other than UConn is an absolute joke! Until this year, even the New Britain Herald which is only two miles down the rode from Central was virtually non-existant on its football coverage. The areas high schools bot better coverage. This year, at least Matt Straub is making a good attempt to provide newspaper coverage. Central sport fans do a pretty good job of "preaching to the choir." Not enough! Get on the phone or email these sports writers and editors directly and complain........I do! Guess what? I never hear from any of them because I'm only one person and they think I'm nuts. However, if all of you who read and write on this forum do this then maybe something will happen. Fire up!

How about posting their contact info and we can get a constructive email campaign. (not flaming) Matt Straub feels like the only ally on the newspaper side.
