Want to play SEOAL teams? Then don't drop out on the league after a couple of years--

[IRONMENFAN]

Ironton does not deserve to play SEOAL teams they dropped us and trust me they will lose more revenue than SEOAL teams.
Jackson and Gallia both travel well do the loss goes to Ironton.

Ironton does travel well but GAHS could replace Ironton with cross river rival Pt Pleasant and gain revenue

Question is why don't they if it's that easy??????????????

[dreamweaver]

well i sure would like to see gallia win this one. I just don't see that even close to happening this year. next year will be a different story.

LOL sorry had to laugh on that one Gallia dropped Ironton in all sports till who knows when. So this is the last year they play hate to see them go but they have to do what is best for the kids and the fans. Who knows in a few years the series my be renewed but as of now there will be no next year.

I hate to see this game come to an end epically when it's one of gallia's biggest gates besides Jackson. I personaly loved playing at the tank as you could hear the fans in the lockerroom above you and also now that my playing days are far behind me I always like the down route 141 with the family. Would to see the Academy end it on a win but dout it will happen. Especially if the play unfudamentaly sound football like we seen against Licking. Which IMO at the third game of the season the coaches should have worked put those problems and fundamentals out by now.

This game will not be the same since the elder statesman of the French City went to the great stadium in the sky.......Tiger fans enjoyed jawing with him and Jottings at the Knights of Columbus before the game and you have no idea how much heat he took at the OBDTF lunches.....and we wont forget the nice tailgate parties he had for the Tiger fans over the years...... he luved coming to the Tank and I think he luved the Tigers about as much as he did the Blue Devils.......

RIP.... GAHS Forever..........

We still luv u Steve Ebert and miss u......

[urban buck]

Ironton with another win. Lewis is getting half the Tiger's yards. Impressive. Unless Gallia can stop him, they are in for a long night.

[seoal83]

I think this will be a really good game. I predict Gallia to play much better then they did this past week. Once again i think this will be a close game. but i see gallia being able to put up at least 20 points in this one and don't really see the defense giving up any more then that. So i will call it. gallia 24 ironton 20. in a game that may not be that close.

Gallia defense is underrated and shows up big in this game. Gallia needs to play with a sense of urgency and basically challenge ironton to out score them if we play that way we will win.

Now of course i make this prediction knowing absolutely nothing about ironton this year. so i am probably totally wrong.

[swamprat]

Ironton always wins this game , but you never know

[fuzzhead]

The SEOAL probably wont exist in 5 years. Quit acting like it's some kind of sacred fraternity. Sheesh.

Says a lot about a 50 year old man's mindset! These are kids playing a game. None of them had a say in the matter.
