The Bulldogs can't seem to get their act together.

That’s too bad. Don’t think it would make a difference. I look for this game too get out of hand.

Why has Athens’ HC been allowed to keep his job, besides the fact that he was Joe Burrow’s OC? What success or even ability to be somewhat competitive can you point to with him as head coach?

I hear what you’re saying. I do believe he shared TVC championship his first year. His first year was actually pretty solid with close games against Jackson(31-26) and Waverly(30-27) who both had pretty dang good seasons and got housed by WV state runner up Parkersburg south as well as a loss In week 10 to NY.
Year 2 was Covid and then they have had 3 very small classes come through in a row. Went back and looked and they had the following…2020-6SR, 2021-8SR, 2022 5SR and 2023 had 4SR. Even this year they have 2 returning SR letterman and the rest are JR’s and below. Numbers haven’t been great so these underclassman have been through a gauntlet as a lot got playing time as freshman….One would think they would be better off for it as this year goes on and into next year but we shall see.
On another note it’s not like athens is a traditional good football team.
