Oh wait, that's right we heard this same stuff last year didn't we? And how did his predictions turn out last year? Teams were going to be terrified of that defense remember?
You simply astound me! I cannot remember lies & bulls-"t & who said it without research. 50 is not the new 40. 40 is the percent of my brain I left @ my high school job. Lmao!

It will be standing room only, but curious as to a prediction overall.
Ive yet to come upon a schedule for either team. For this year's season.

Will it be played on the hilltop

Or

Down in the flood zone?

Best back in Atlanta, Georgia is a big statement, this boy sounds like the real deal. Ironton game always worries me, it was the game I picked on another thread that I said worried me most, rivalry games in Week 1 anything can happen.

So Burg better be ready to get after it, can't take anyone lightly, but we always prepare well. Looking forward to this one more and more now.
Ironton last year after about midway through the Russell game had numerous key injuries with two key players out for the season. By the time the playoffs came around, the Tigers had four or five with season ending injuries. With the Tigers barely having 30 kids out last season, backups were not there. The playoff game was actually not something many hoped for, but it was not a real shock. Burg is well coached throughout the whole school year. I respect the program. They are doing things right and getting better at their system every year. Sometimes chemistry happens and a team comes together. Ironton has a good group of talented kids who went out this year. Many of whom worked hard in the off season. The winning attitude is there. Now to see how they do when it's game time.
It's cyclical.

From the looks of the kids coming up through Ironton's system, if Ironton finds the way to win this season and next, Ironton will be the team to beat in southern Ohio for a long way to come. There is a ton of talent in the pipeline.

Reason number 4 that Ironton will beat the Burg. Ironton will have too many weapons!!!

Ironton this season will have 7 good running backs this season and three good receivers. Last season, Ironton was barely able to have enough kids to field a first string. This year they have a very good group of experienced skilled players. Most will be changed in and out throughout the ballgames and wont be dead come fourth quarter as they have for the last 6/7 years. This will also make it tougher for any team to key on any one back, as any one of those backs or receivers could be the man on any play.

Ironton is much, much improved in skill positions over last season. Not only with ability, but with numbers. This will benefit the Tigers this season as not one back will be able to be keyed on.

7 RBs? That will save on cramp timeouts. On a different note, Burg knows Irontons playbook. For Burg to not be able to key on anything, they will have to throw a wrench in there somewhere to keep them honest. If not, Burg will tee off. From the looks of the 7 on 7s, which holds little weight, The Burg secondary will be nasty. Not much success throwing the ball. If they can take away what little passing the Tigers have, they will pin their ears back fly to whomever gets the ball. But in the end IBTT, you are where I want to be. Living the dream in Florida.

Wow, 7 stud running backs.

A 7-headed monster backfield.

D1 athletes scattered throughout the field, line and everywhere.

Supersonic 4.4 speed.

This game has the makings of an instant classic.

Don't forget bookend tackles that are 6'7" 335 and the best back in the state.

I'd say Webb is more like 6'5 275 and the other Kidd is about 6'6 310. My guess is that the bigger kid will only play Defense and Webb will play both ways

The heat that first game is usually very hard on those big boys, especially the ones going both ways. One of Ironton's key skill guys dominated the first quarter of play last year but he was gassed and pretty much disappeared after the first quarter.

Burg will be good, but not quite as good as last year.

Ironton will be BETTER than last year, but I still see this as a 14+pt margin....Burg wins.

Yes, my bad I forgot about the bookends, they are going to as I recall stop any defenses from penetrating the middle.

Good point.

Burgs has heard the last 3-4 years that that won't be as good as the previous year and I think the argument could be made that they might have gotten better each year.
