Re: September 15, 2023 Valley - Wheelersburg

#'s is everything? It would if talent level is equal and you're saying one team simply wore down another. What's the numbers for Portsmouth, Piketon, a DVI Coal Grove team? See numbers aren't everything if you've got the horses to lineup and play a larger team you will compete just Valley isn't the...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Lol. Nice shot taken on the Burg there, comparing them to your "lowly" OVC competition. Truth is, if you didn't have outside transfer help, especially Terry, you lose that game to Burg, badly. Ironton fans are finding fault with their lineman, when they would struggle this year without th...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

True about the line of scrimmage. Burg 2017 team didn’t dominate on the OL, but their DL was a beast. My question is why? It’s not as if SEO hasn’t produced talented linemen. I guess my question is why.. kids are going to Ironton to play for a guy, who obviously can’t get the job done. I mean, don’...

I guess my question is why.. kids are going to Ironton to play for a guy, who obviously can’t get the job done. I mean, don’t these kids parents read SEOPreps? Why in the world would these kids leave their home districts, that are obviously getting the job done, to play at Ironton? Back to topic.. ...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Games are won and lost on the line of scrimmage. All the “big games” mentioned here, were lost on the line of scrimmage. Ironton may have had more talent in most of those games at “skilled” positions but not on the Line of scrimmage. If you go back to I great Ironton teams of the past, 78, 81,82,88...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

You can twist the enrollment #’s all you want but with the number of transfers Ironton has they don’t have a D5 enrollment for Football (more like D3), and if they weren’t very creative in their use of apartments and housing their CB Numbers would represent that. Fact is when Ironton plays teams of...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Thinking IHS was going to walk over CM was silly. West Virginia football may not be at the same level of Ohio football, but WV does produce some really good/great athletes. Plus, CM is still a very large school with such athletes. As for Ironton folding, they are still on path to play for and even ...

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

Kirtland and South Range won because those teams were well coached, had excellent game plans, executed said game plans, and made no mistakes. While Ironton made lots of mistakes, and, in the case of Kirtland, didn’t seem to have any game plan. In these games, Ironton was by far the more talented te...

Re: September 15, 2023 South Point - Ironton

After watching Ironton practice today, I realize they are NOT going to try anyone else at the center position so they will live and die by the bad snap/bad blocking combination. You can’t tell me there aren’t better options at center on the sidelines, even if it happens to be a freshman. Swallow th...

Once the starters are pulled the competitive part is done Joe. lol

Re: The BIG STAGE is KRYPTONITE for Fighting Tigers

If you consider the big stage as being the state championship game you have a valid point. Look at all of the teams the Fighting Tigers beat to get to the championship game, do you consider those games as not being on the big stage? Sounds like it if you are considering the Cabel Midland game as be...
