Moonshine, what makes it really funny is it cost them all 5 bucks to park in there, only to find out they weren't at the ballgame. Shame on Gray Fighting Tiger. The jewel of all playoff stories. I bet you can't find one of them to admit to doing it.

Guy's I hope this is not TRUE but a bullpuppies poster said that Ironton did not want to play them because ironton has a better shot of making the playoff playing only 9 games! Holy Cow!

It is pretty obvious a "BULLPUPPIES POSTER" doesn't have a clue about Ironton's scheduling........the Tigers have made the playoffs many years without Athens on the schedule........

now that is not a slam against the bullpuppies because they are going thru a time frame with great athletes and I am glad to see someone in the southeast on the upswing.......

That still did not answer the question. I need a good reason to give the bullpuppies!

Without being a fly on the wall of either AD I wouldn't know the answer. Could be any one of several things. One being a long term contract that would conflict with future OVC scheduling. I'm sure Ironton would like to continue their long winning streak against Athens. I think it's 16 in a row dating all the way back to 1968 from 1985 when Athens dropped us. I think Ironton's record against Athens all time is 21-6-0.

I need a lot of things but trying to give your Athens buddies a reason for anything Ironton does is not on the top of my wish list.....I think RRR listed a few possiblities and if they really need a good reason we are available about any afternoon for lunch and a beer to discuss why the Tigers are dodging the Puppies..........and in the meantime if u and your doggy friends wear thin on patience I can give them the AD's phone number and he can discuss it with them........but I think u would get a better answer from the folks at lunch............we are a lot more fun and full of knowledge over a dozen wings and a pitcher of Bud Light........... :roll: :roll:

Let me correct one point! Every since 1968 at the old field in Athens when against my Chiefs the officials said the WRONG end of the football was across to goal line and cheated us out of the SEOAL Championship, I strongly dislike all bullpuppies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My god I like your tigers even better!

No, Irontons to far out of the way to get a playoff game.

As for the turf it sounds like its going to look pretty cool.

With there being lower standards to reach the playoffs, I believe there could very well be some opportunity to get some second round games. Ironton has plenty of parking and already is set up for playoff games.

I think it would simply come down to geographics. We all know the state "tries" to find a central location for the 2nd round.

I like the word "TRIES"..........depending on where the teams in the playoffs are located in the 2nd round there are several locations with adequate facilities to host a second-round game in southern Ohio.........

My choices are Portsmouth--Valley--and Ironton {if the turf gets laid}......

Heres the scenarios in which Tigers get a playoff game: 1. Tigers dont make playoffs that way they could host a 2nd round DV or DVII game. 2. Tigers make playoffs, which means only can get a 2 round game of Valley vs Coal Grove if both make it to second round in DVI. 3. KYHSA allows the local Ky teams to play at the Tank since they got turf.
