Ever hear of the "rubber chicken tour"? Well, Colerain Head Coach Tom Bolden sure does. It started last night with a trip to Montgomery Inn for the first annual Greater Miami Conference Preview Dinner held at Montgomery Inn in Montgomery.

Colerain Football gets Pre-Season Love

UPDATED 8/3, 2:35 PM

And you thought the BCS rankings system was crazy! The changing of the calendar to August means football two-a-days start as well as the insanity that is National High School Football Pre-Season rankings. That's right...ranking 14,000+ HS football teams before anyone has played so much as a scrimmage. Fun for conversation, if nothing else.

To that end, a couple of national publications have given the Cardinals some pre-season attention.

First off, RivalsHigh.com, mostly known for their recruiting prowess, has ranked Colerain #50 in the nation in their Pre-Season RivalsHigh 100. You can see the write-up RivalsHigh 100: Teams 50-46.

Secondly, released today was the PrepNation.com National Prep Poll by Jamie DeMoney. This one is a bit more generous to the Cardinals as Colerain checks in at #30.

Thirdly, how about ESPN? Well, they released theirs as well and the Cardinals check in at #48. You can see that list HERE.

Next, Maxpreps.com released their poll a few weeks back and they have the Cardinals checking in at #20. To view their poll click here.

Lastly, CalPreps.com won't be releasing their full poll until August 19th, but they have released their top teams. They have the Cardinals ranked #1 in Ohio and #12 nationally. To view their breakdown on the Cardinals, click here.

Any way you cut it, a lot of expectations are on a team that finished 8-2 and out of the playoffs last year. No doubt, the young men are hungry and deeply desire the chance at redemption in 2010.

WeAreColerain.com is happy to kick off full coverage of Colerain Football LIVE on Friday August 20 when the Cardinals host Moeller in the final scrimmage before the opener on Saturday August 28 at Nippert against Northmont. Be sure in tune in for the most up-to-date info on this years Colerain Cardinal football squad.
