[Neutron Man]

classic

Ugh this week is taking too long!! Side note. It's going to be cold Friday night! Hahah

I have tried hitting the Fast forward button. My batteries must be dead. >>>

I've been saying thesame thing!

Ridgewood finds out "The Burgs the Word." Pirates win 35-14.

[schmittie32]

Ridge wood used to run a lot of jet sweeps and fullback dives, then try to throw over the top or to the flats. I wonder if anyone has seen them play this year? They were a well coached disciplined team in the past.

If I remember correctly from watching them a few years ago, Ridgewood runs an offensive similar to Minford (lots of misdirection, jet sweeps) but they throw in a little option as well.

Coldwater will test them forsure!!

While I am rooting for Burg to go all the way and represent Southern Ohio well...Coldwater will destroy Burg. End of story.

I PROMISE you "if" Burg Plays Coldwater, it will NOT be a blowout. Burg will put up a HUGE fight. May lose, but not be destroyed!

[wobycat]

Burg isn't even in the place where they play coldwater. And is this observation based on how you feel, or have you seen both teams play live?

Oh geez, thanks for letting us know. I think Burg may have a different perspective than yours. Burg will give it every ounce of every effort that they have. If Coldwater proves to be the better team, which they may, Burg will congratulate them and wish them well. End of story.

He has not seen anything he needs to put his hands on his shoulders and give a quick pull

POP out comes his head and he can finally see the light.

I've watched Burg play 5 times this year (Ironton, Jackson, Minford, Valley and Ironton in the playoffs) and I watched Coldwater twice on TV. Burg will play hard and give it everything they got but Coldwater is on an entirely different level. I'm hoping Coldwater gets tripped up before Burg has to play them because I'd like to see a SOC team win a state title but if Burg has to play Coldwater it will be a 3-5 TD spread IMHO...but of course I could always be wrong.

I agree 100%. We may lose but if we meet in guarantee we will give them a game

[piratepride86]

I am confused if someone else beats coldwater would that not be a tougher team to play ?????

[Mad-Dogg]

Just throwing this out there.

Cal Preps:

[piratepride86]

Yea throw that out there WAY out there...
Lets go pirates.
How about that fight song dog.

only 1 team has held Burg to less than 20 and that was the 1st game of the season
the next was 28 and that was a D-3
Dont know where they get their stats...

[BurgGrad6]

All this luke-warm water talk makes me excited! If and when we play them we will win 28-14!

YAWN

What do you think cpt. Obvious?

Welllllll........ Obviously I believe that burg will win any matchup placed before them this season. As I told you before the season started grad06 this team would better than last year overall and probably be the best team seen at burg in the last couple decades. Unless you have been around these young men and seen the drive, determination and focus that they have you don't understand. That's ok tho, others doubts and misperceptions are what feed the fire that keeps this team rolling. I hate to look ahead because our team hasn't looked ahead. They are living in the moment and loving it! But..... Obviously when we play Coldwater we will be the underdogs...... But only to those who are ignorant of the things I just spoke about obviously!!!!! Burg rolls thru the region and shocks the so-called experts with the state title this year!! And that is obviously my honest opinion!
P.S. Big thx to all the veterans out there past and present, without you guys n gals we wouldn't be able to get on here and spout our rhetoric OBVIOUSLY!!
