SEOAL: Gallipolis (4-1) @ Logan (1-4)

[pappy1]

The players and coaches put a lot of sweat, lifting and running preparing for this season. There are many students roaming the school halls who could make great contributions to their high school team, but don't have the intestinal fortitude to play football. Consider the sacrifice these young men make to play the sport. Lets consider all of this before badmouthing players/coaches/teams. FANS DO GET SPOILED!! I had this thought last night as I looked at the home fans leaving the game in droves long before the game was over.

[C-Bolt]

Maybe Dale just knew he better get out while the getting was good,but seriously unless he comes back which I suspect he might someday we have to live with the consequences because good coaches don't grow on trees,but with the injuries and still new with learning curves for the players and defensive coaches alike we have to give them a pass for now,I for one am not surprised their losing a bunch of games this year but the amount of points being given up does surprise me somewhat.

[Chieftain]

Part of the truth is most didn't see this coming. I didn't. The senior class is large and has had success over their years in the system as a class. Yet they have little to show for it this year. This class dominated in lower grades.

I suspect when the season is over, a lot of soul searching will take place about both the O & D used because it doesn't fit the abilities of the current players and does not impact the game that their previous success had. Last years team was talented for the O used and played the 5-3 well. This year ? The same O & D doesn't take full advantage of the abilities.

Sooner or later a year like this hits. Too much talent in Logan for this to be an every year occurance. But they need to better evaluate the talent and apply the O & D strategies/ plays to get success from them.

It looks like a losing season for a class that always won, big. Strange.

Wasn't able to make the game but when i heard the final score all I could say was wow! Was told game was close until the second half and Gallia opened the flood gates. Great bounce back from a tough loss for the Big Blue. I think this could be a statement game saying that Gallia will not roll over for anyone and the Young Men in the Devil uniforms will not let past haunt them. I mean come on..How often can a team go to the tank and win. Seriously. That being said this Gallia team has nothing to be ashamed of last week and something to be very proud of this week. I heard that G-Force was wild and crazy once again. Those guys should win the 12th man award this year. It is pretty evident that this Blue Devil Team is ready to fight ad be in the running for another SEOAL crown. Kudos to Coach Eddy and our coaching Staff this year, what a turn around from last year. As long as this team can remember one week at a time I think Gallia fans will be in for a treat this year. A down year obviously for Logan but they never stay down long. One thing was mentioned that Logan has some talent coming up and some young talent that will be forces to be rekoned with. Great Game Blue!!!!

[SSReaper]

Talent goes in cycles. Logan is likely entering a difficult period. Waterboy and others - way to keep it classy. Rats abandoning ship. Need talent and experience to win. Coaching staff is fine. Unless you are willing to pick up a whistle put in 70+ hours a week zip it. You reference Dale knowing what he was doing. He too was on staff and even head coach of teams in the past that were just plain bad.

"Way to keep it classy" ..I'm sorry I forgot this was a formal conversation in the White House with the President..This is a forum for southeastern ohio football.. Shall I call you "sir" and speak in Old English dialog? Would that make it better for you? Must have missed the day in class for the proper protocols here. Jeez. Get off your moral high horse. I will not "zip it" because I have an opinion..as, unfortunately, so do you. Am I going to be the defensive coordinator? No, I'm not but that doesn't mean we can't find a good one somewhere else. Oh, and you don't know me so don't call me a rat abadoning the ship..what do you know? Nothing, so perhaps you should "zip it".

Dazed..Why should be wait for more losing games or seasons to hope the defense will get better...if you have something that isn't working then remove it asap and find something that is..

Let's be honest here...this talk of "nobody would beat the teams we faced in non-league play" is rubbish. We beat them handidly the last few years so why not this year..Yes, we had good players but in reality it was just a handful of them that REALLY stood out but yet we dominated. Losing to Jackson..Gallia..not to take anything away from them..they won but that's like OSU losing to OU.We have talent this year so where's the playmakers? Where/what is the problem with this team that they seem like they haven't a clue what's going on? If it's NOT the players as everyone insists then it's THE COACHING.

So..Start throwing stones my way now..It amuses me

With what is going on in the White House these days I think southeastern ohio football deserves more respect.

It is sad but yet kinda of amusing to see Logan fans arguing amongst themselves. When they have a stellar year they are all in unity and it is like gang busters if you cross one. Logan is having an unfortunate year this year and instead of trying to look at the positives that the young men do they are fighting amongst themselves. Do you not think your players read this. What do you think this does to their demeanor. When they are having a down year it takes alot of guts to strap up and fight it out for 48 minutes. Everyone will have a down year. Logan Locos put it best last year referring to Gallias down year last year. He said it is just a matter of time before Gallia puts it together and is back on the winning side of things. Logan may be down but they won't be out long. Winning goes in peaks and valleys. But the Support you give your team no matter how they are doing will stand out and speak volumes. One thing is for sure last year we might have went 2-8 but the fans still traveled heavy and we always went in with a wining attitude. I think Logan will be back sooner than later but squawbling amongst yourselves will not solve anything.

[Mighty Mighty Devils]

I tell you from reading the post above from logan fans I can tell they are not happy with the coaching staff well this time last year I was'nt to happy with gallia's either. this year I think they are doing great it takes time for the coach to create the bond and to get them to buy into his or their system of play, workout, attitude.I know a high school career is short an you hate to see it wasted but sometimes it takes a lil bit to get things going the right direction I guess you just have to look at the bigger picture of things and hope for improvment as the year goes forward and thru the summer

[SSReaper]

RE: SSReaper, "You don't know me....."

You should have said, "I don't know what I'm talking about (referring to yourself)." I sincerely hope you are not in a position of influence with young people or worse yet, a parent. Your philosophy of "if something isn't working remove it," sounds sterile and brings instant gratification, but unfortunately human relationships are much more complex than that

Forum: n. pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôr, fr)A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper, a radio or television program, or a website.

Voicing of ideas. Your overdramatic theatrics are un-needed to express a point. I am merely stating my thoughts. This isn't a professional analyst service for Highschool football so I do t think we need to worry about anybody taking my opinion to heart. You have your opinion as do I. I respect yours. I'm not bashing you for having an opinion so try respecting someone elses opinion.
Go enjoy your victory.. You are allowed to have o e over Logan every 5 years or so 8)

[Blackjack]

Give the new coach a chance. Everyones first year record at Logan is usually poor. The program has to be build under his new direction.

Not sure i get the link between class and white house/old english dialouge (whatever that is) but i assume this was you attempt at some sort of wit. Regardless, fell woefully short. The problem i have always had with forums such as this (thanks for defining wasn't quite sure what it meant) is it gives folks like yourself a medium to openly criticize where they have very little if any insight. This while toiling in complete anonymity. An absolute perfect conduit for cowards. If you had something constructive to add i would be fine with it. But to completely blast the coaches is well....cowardly. There is a lot to be said for actually picking up a whitsle and virtually donating your time. You are correct that you have the right to discuss but once you start calling our people individually you have crossed the line.

Echoing gahs4ever, i pray you aren't a parent.

[dazed&confused]

Everyone has a right to an opinion and to express it. If you didnt, your thoughts wouldnt stay on here for long. That is not the issue, and nowhere did I say you weren't entitled to your opinion, except when you told someone else they didnt have a right to express theirs when you told them to "zip it."

Secondly, just because everyone has a right to express an opinion doesnt guarantee that that opinion will be accurate or factual or even fair. You are just like the hundreds of "fans" who show up at games in whatever sport wherever and think they are qualified to make personnel decisions from afar. You accused another poster of "not knowing you," but I sincerely doubt that you are qualified or have all of the information available to form an opinion of the skills and qualifications of the people you think need to be dismissed.

You say you "dont think we need to worry about anybody taking (your) opinion to heart," but already someone else on here and I have taken it to heart and you have no idea who reads this site; ie players and perhaps even the one you are talking about or his family. Ever think of that?

Finally, I have NEVER had a victory over Logan since that is reserved for players and coaches, and they dont need your permission to beat Logan, but you err again in saying we "are allowed to have one over Logan every 5 years or so." This was actually the third one since 2002 (2002, 2003, 2010) so it's not exactly like an appearance of Haley's Comet or something. And also you may have forgotten our three straight SEOAL football championships 2002, 03, 04 in that incredible Logan run of dominance (and no that is not sarcasm). I have the utmost respect for Logan.

So forgiv e me if I use my rights to an opinion to reiterate that you dont know what you are talking about.

I thought I was the whipping boy here. GAHS 4ever, the vast majority of Logan fans are behind the boys and the coaches. Are we disappointed? Sure, but the most disappointed are the players and coaches. They have put the time and effort in and don't have a lot to show for it. I'm sure if they knew of a magic button to push, they would be all over it. Logan will be OK. Their will be growth and learning. I don't know how many more wins Logan will have to show for it this year but I think you will see effort on the part of the team to put forth their best foot. Congratulations to the Blue Devils. Have one heck of a finish and represent the SEOAL well in the playoffs. Chieftain Nation will get back to you next year.

[loganlocos]

Wow, this thread has gone to hell in a hand basket.

The reality is, 2010 will be a very disappointing season for all of Chieftain Nation. But make no mistake, NO ONE will be more disappointed than the 23 seniors and the 5 Varsity Coaches (not to mention the lower level coaches who help on Fridays, scout on Fridays, etc.).

Sure, I'm disppointed, d&c is disappointed, SSReaper is disappointed, etc.

I don't think talent is the problem with this football team.

I don't think that coaching is the problem with this football team.

I don't think "Heart" or "Work ethic" is the problem with this football team.

All of these things are PROBLEMS with the team. Logan is talented, but inexperienced. The staff are good coaches, but are doing new jobs have new responsibilities, and are having to work with kids who don't have the experience. Finally, I think our kids and coaches have put plenty of work in, but do they understand HOW much and HOW HARD previous teams have worked? Those teams, no matter how talented, didn't just SHOW UP with purple uniforms on and win football games.

I think I knew along that the potential was there for Logan to really struggle. Although there are 23 seniors, they lost a class that had over 20 a year ago. Throw that in with a new head coach and a staff with new responsibilities and you have a potential for struggles.

Let's not forget that this team has battled more injuries than the last two years and there is no doubt this team doesn't have the DEPTH of the last two.

So, for those who want to throw the staff under the bus, let me point out that Dale Amyx started 2-8 his first season and didn't win more than 6 game until his 5th season. In the 5 seasons prior to Amyx taking over, Logan had won 9 games 3 times and 7 games twice.

Before you blame the staff, lets keep that in mind. Give them a few years to do their thing before throwing stones.

Just one man's opinion.

[jottings]

Same here, 4-Ever. It was a pleasure to work with Craig, Spencer, Ron and when we arrived at the stadium, we were greeted by Keith Myers. Chiefs will recover. Ups and downs by various teams is what has made the SEOAL a solid league for more than 80 years.

still dont believe what i am seeing every week with logan!! can a program be THAT empty in cupboard?? can a school that big actually have that poor a class come through?? playing who they play..

It is not "this class". This class did extremely well in the lower grades as has been pointed out. Every coach does things differently and these kids have ALL new coaches in every area. Not only do the kids have to adjust to the coaches, the coaches have to adjust to this group of athletics. They do not have the same talents and should not be compared to last year's team, but they do have talent as proven in prior grades. The coaches just need to capitalize on that talent.

[1987chieftains]

over time as the amex era pass away coach wolfe will input more of his style. and further away from dale's style. this is not a bad thing. the kids will start to adjust to it as they did when he took over the offense. i think we'll start to see less hand clapping at the players then they screw up and more sterness. all in time he only into his 7th week of the season.
