Week 12: WOOD BURG

[Raycharles]

Last time Burg played there it was grass and Tony Lewis was the coach.

Been a long time.

If Burg sells more presale tickets would they get the home side then?

That’s not how that works higher seed gets home side.

[greygoose]

Home side, visitor side it honestly doesn't matter, the casual fan is going to sit wherever they can find a seat and away from those FREAKIN milk jugs of Burg. SHEEEEESH

I’m noticing where ever we go the team were playing has milk jugs. Now, it’s not nearly what burg has, but it’s kinda nice. Imitation is the fondest form of flattery

LOL, yeah but there's 1 thing I discovered I hate worse. As I sat on the home side of the Johnnies and Burg couple years ago, it's when you sit right next to someone with a COW BELL, what the heck man like I wanted to listen to that. Those guys were going nuts one dude was staring at me just yelling and ringing that bell, reminded me of Putty on Seinfield, I had to tell him dude I'm here to watch a good game not cheering for anyone in particular. He's like oh you're not here for Burg, wow.

Actually I think it is the top team on the bracket, which is usually the higher seed.

[Raycharles]

The best is Burg people constantly think everyone copies what they do. Ridgewood copies Burgs offense. That confuses me I don’t think Ridgewood runs a 10th of the amount of formations that the Burg runs. There’s 2892 of them.

That’s funny. People hate burg supporters. Well, hate is a strong word, but you know what I mean. We can be arrogant .

This is going to be fun, you heading to Jackson or Lancaster Saturday?

Agreed. Just because our offenses look similar, they’re not.

Honestly not for sure yet, Ironton I think beats the Aces so I can catch them the following week. Comes down which game I think is better Waverly and BC in a shootout or Burg and Ridgewood which I think will be another really good game. A lot of times I break it down to 2 games and let my son decide.

[portsmouth_98]

Is 159 the best way to get there?

Wow. Rational thinking. That’s refreshing. Hope to see ya there, but if not, understand.

[Jack Sparrow]

Is 159 the best way to get there?

Yes. 159 to 22 to 37

[packers80]

Ok, it's set, Lancaster. I bet if ohsaa said the boys had to play in a gravel parking lot the fans would be there sitting on tops of their cars with the headlights on. That's the beauty of high school football in the buckeye. Great programs with hard nosed players and passionate fan bases. Good luck to both and safe travels.

Well said. Good Luck Burg Nation

[NoPain23]

I really thought burg would turn the corner this post season, after struggling with Minford again, I think they’ll get destroyed by Wood

[Ed Ott]

Good luck Wheelersburg

[14U]

Is 159 the best way to get there?

Yes, runs right into Lancaster and goes thru it

[4thgoal]

I was at Lancaster a few weeks ago and honestly 22 is a better route than 159. Less deer and more miles on 4 lane roads.

Hopefully Lancaster brings in more restroom trailers....the one they had won’t handle a football crowd.

Yep. I do not recommend traveling on 159 at night when the better alternative of 22 exists. 159 has very low visibility, and the hillsides and wooded areas hang much closer to the road than on 22.

[14U]

Let me ask Wood posters this. Have you all played against a back like Burg has in Matthews??

If he gets a little in front of the defender he is gone


I’d be really happy with Hamilton twp. Almost all 4 lane. Hate that drive to Logan and or NY

They just played against Parker, forget already. Besides the key to that entire offense is Horsely, look no farther than the first few games of the year to see that, even the drive where he was out against Waverly, offense went backwards. He's what makes that offense work, it takes him, Matthews, and Ruby to make it run it's not simply Matthews back there, they tried that week 1 and it didn't go well.

IMO he’s better than Parker. I’m sure you’ll go ape because I said that but that’s just my opinion

I think they are the same but both have their own ways of getting it done. Parker didn’t have the team around him like Mathews does.

Where do you get on 22 for the people down south? Circleville ?

Yeah if you're not going to take 159 out which is the preferred route you'd have to wait till Circleville.
