After Friday night we will have swept the decade!! 10 in a row!!!

I look for the Buckeyes to come out fired up and looking to finish off strong!!! The Buckeyes won't overlook V.C., but they need to be careful because the Vikes have nothing to lose and everything to gain if they knock off the Buckeyes!!!

Week 9 is over boys! Lets get ready for week 10!

NY--49
VC--18

[Dundas]

Good luck to the Vikings...Cant wait to make it over to Boston Field...one of the nicest fields in SEO!

[TrojanXplosion]

Sit with some nice Buckeye fans last night. Good people. Here's hoping the Buckeyes beat the Vikings!

[Neutron Man]

This could be bad news for NY, win or lose your playoff chances are in jeopardy. The last game isnt a quality win. 1 secondary win and caldwell burg and LU creeping up!

But all they can do is go in and win and see. Personally I'd like to see NY and Burg get in and not LU and caldwell. Hope it turns out!

[questionmark]

NY should be ok...
That's if
1.) They Win vs. VC
2.) Athens wins vs. Wahama
3.) Liberty U or Wheelersburg lose

I still think if NY and Athens both win...it should be enough to keep them in the Top 8 ...

If not, they still share the TVC-OHiO Crown with Athens, and will have had a great (8-2) football season ...

Good Luck to NY!

[A-Town Big Dog]

N-Y wins this one then has to hope for some help to make the playoffs if the numbers that Joe Eitel are showing are correct and I'm pretty sure they are. Looks like N-Y must win and have 2 of 3 behind them lose to safely make the playoffs. Just take care of your business Buckeyes and let the numbers fall where they may.

goodluck bucks take care of week 10..

Although NY is the favorite and should win this one going away on paper...i dont think it will be a shutout. VC's special teams play has been very good this year with a couple punt returns for touchdowns. VC has also managed a few long touchdown plays via pass and run this year. The Vikings managed 2 touchdowns in the slop at Alex last weekend(one long drive, one 98 yd run) and i feel like on the turf at NY they should at least manage a touchdown or two. The Vikings have nothing to lose in this one and im sue will throw everythingbut the kitchen sink at NY. It could possibly be the last game for the current coaching staff as well...i look for a somewhat competitive game for the first half...then NY should wear down the Viking defense which will probably be on the field for a good portion of the game. Good luck Vikings

[buckeyeguy]

ny has not gave up a special teams touchdown this year, go bucks

[Dundas]

Thats all well and good...im just saying that i dont think it will be a shutout...

[buckeyeguy]

wow we have a different opinion

[Dundas]

Yes we do..lol ...wanna bet a ski on it? haha

[NY BUCKS]

I will take that bet.IF vinton kicks the ball to arnold.

[Dundas]

Ill bet a ski that VC has a number on the board....not that they will run one back..although it could happen with grillo...hes great in the open field! But i wouldnt put something as prestegious as a Ski on it...lol

[noreply66]

nelsonville/York big time

we got a good shot if athens wins it will help us alot we will stay #7 or move to #8 lets see whats happins

[boilermaker]

It wont be long and the Vikings will get payback on the TVC in another sport.

[Orange and Brown]

I don't think we will shut VC out. I think we will score a lot of points on them but they will score a couple of TD's!!!!! They will come out fired up and ready to play.
