Who's running from who or is it 'whom'? Ashland running from Ironton or is it the other way around? Ironton needs some tougher games to prepare for the playoffs. Ashland is a very worthy opponent, year after year..and it's a HUGE gate
Did Ironton run from Ashland to play Moeller. Now does that even make good sense. Who did Ashland play instead of Ironton Louisville Trinity, I doubt it. Return those contracts on time and you won't have these problems.
You're smarter than this Ray. Could it make good (or any sense at all) to play Moeller instead of Ashland? YES!!!
NO one expected Ironton to beat Moeller. EVERYONE EXPECTS Ironton to defeat Ashland, If you don't, it's considered embarrassing. Give a good account of yourself playing Moeller however (which the Tigers did) even if you get beaten...you'll still get the same amount of respect as if you'd won the game.
Better to be defeated by a team that everyone thinks you have absolutely no chance to defeat rather than lose to someone many people think you should handle in a convincing fashion. Was I saying that was the case? no, just saying, it would be easy to accept that could be the case though
Thanks for letting us know Ashland won't sign our contract...I didn't know you were privy to that..but I'm glad that's out in the open so we can start badgering/taunting Ashland to step up to the desk and sign that contract!
Now that's over..I have a 20+ minute video of Ashland at Ashland after the Ironton game one year. I stayed long after most Ironton fans had gotten to their cars and were on their way home...but I stayed to film. Film what? what were they doing? they are all out on the field and the parents are taking turns photographing the players with the scoreboard still on behind them after they beat them Tigers. That's HOW MUCH they thought of Ironton back then. That it was such a monumental accomplishment to defeat Ironton, they wanted commemorative photographs. I didn't take it as an insult, I took it as a compliment to Ironton's program
Dominating opponents for Ironton to take on in this area? Ashland, Burg, Portsmouth and Russell..thats the way they stack up..
