OT: Apology from the CC students

Thanks.  Well spoken high schooler. I think everyone knows it isn't "CC" writing the letter, rather it is probably just some grumpy fart.

-Chet

As a graduate of a rival school, thank you for this letter, but I still hope you lose every hockey game of eternity. 

...that no one here assumed it was actually from a Catholic Central student, or that even if it was, it was a loner seeking attention. The more it was read, the more it seemed like one of the random assholes that wants to look like something while sitting in mommy's basement. Unfortunately, they did this at your expense and at the same  time disparaged what is in fact a pretty damn good school in Cass Tech. 

Nobody wins there. I know people who are alums of both schools and I know they are all better than that. It's sad that the "sore losers" of the world also have broadband. 

WE BEAT OHIO!...... Enough said

But it is appreciated nonetheless.

As a couple others have said, I don't think anyone thought this actually came from a CC'er - or at least one that can claim to be representative of CC as a whole. Well said, though. 

Does someone at Cass Tech have the letter in their possession? Can someone clearly identify the signature? If they ID the perp, will he/she be held accountable?

Wilcher posted the letter on Facebook but took it down soon after.

I saw the letter last night on the twitters and was incensed.  Never did I assume it was a CC student or family member, rather some old crumudgeon living a sad lonely life.

Cass Tech doesn't deserve to be the subject of such a hateful words but the good folks of CC don't deserve to be blamed for the actions of some miserable parasite.

My dad AND step dad were high school classmates* at the old CC so I know it produces good character men. 

*and best friends.  Not so much anymore.  lolz

...and to this day Cass Tech's 116-115 3OT victory over CC in the '98 state regional final at Fordson is the best sporting event I've ever seen in person.  I think Chris Young had something like 44/20 in that game. Cass Tech's stud was D. Bryant.

Anyway, congrats to Cass Tech on their state title, and hopefully this nonsense blows over.  Obviously whoever sent that letter is an ignorant zero, but c'mon, Wilcher's gotta have a little more common sense than that.  Be above that crap.

This whole thing is sad.  It would not surprise me if this letter were written by a white man, a black man, in Detroit or in the suburbs.  People do some strange things.  Let's move on.

Yeah, sure. No Shamrock could have written it. You guys still haven't figured out that Shamrocks are GREEN!



/s... BIGTIME!



Seriously though, way to stand up for your school. Between the repeated trouncings, I remembered CC students as generally sportsmanlike and gentlemanly (if misguided regarding the actual location of their school when being named in print). It would surprise me if a student or alum wrote it, too. I'm with the board in chalking it up to some curmudgeonly crank. Good on ya for standing up for your classmates and what is right.

I put a post on this thread that offended several people. It is clear to me after reading the comments that I took far too narrow a view and my post was insensitive to how offended people were by that awful letter. That is my fault and I am truly sorry. I was trying to defend CC, lost perspective and came off verry poorly. And Shirtless - no I did not write that letter nor do I think like the author. I regrett that my post caused you to think that about me.



I am very sorry that I hijacked this thread.

A class move none-the-less.

My Grandfather was a Shamrock eons ago. If anyone pulled something like this back in the day, they would have had to step in the boxing ring with Father French. Aparently that's a no win situation...

CLASSY post! You are a example of why I continue to frequent this board over the years...GO BLUE!
