Week 12 : #8 (8-3) Portsmouth @ #1 (10-1) Ironton

They are kids. Kids do dumb crap, regardless where they are from.

Yep, this is a rivalry I expect stuff like this to happen. I’m sure both teams could do a lot worse things. lol

Old saying goes: "They talk a good fight, but ya gotta fight too."

Couple weeks back all t shirts and no fight.

There was a fight, a kid for Portsmouth got ejected

[Tjhtygeverve]

Let’s Go Big I.

Time to return to clean & confident play.

I feel like the successful 9-1 difficult schedule campaign was, BUT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN, a Plateau & the team got stuck on that high.

Time TO SNAP OUT OF IT & Play like a D5 THREAT!!!

Wonder if those portsmouth kids will be flashing those F#*k Ironton shirts before this game like the last one.

That's a failed troll, why would a bunch of kids from Pedro, Coal Grove, Kentucky and West Virginia care about Ironton. Our kids have got to do better.

[VetteMan]

I really think that the Tigers will just be a little too much for the Trojans in this second round matchup. Hope that both teams have an injury free game.

That absolutely was a failed troll on those kids parts, lol. Mid 3rd quarter one was throwing his helmet on the sideline, and the other two on the bench sucking air.

Right after kickoff trojans lose all that bravado lol.

Portsmouth will do the same thing everyone else has tried: keeping their offense off the field and chewing up clock. Regardless of the week 10 score, it’s a completely different scenario in the playoffs.

Does Ironton win? I believe that they do. Could it be a larger margin of victory than week 10? Maybe. Ironton needs to focus on the turnover battle and keeping things tight on offense. Slow down Heiland on defense and Ironton may very well win this game in the same fashion as Week 10.

There are probably some things Portsmouth could do but I’m not sure there is enough to close the gap. Ironton has too much speed on defense and the 30 to 40 yard breakaway runs against other teams end up being 7 or 8 yards against Ironton. We had some success with the pass but when a team that hasn’t thrown much all year tries to pass it all over the field it usually leads to turnovers. If we just play a clean game and keep composure I’ll be happy no matter where the chips fall.

God I hope so, I wonder where I can get one? Seems to have hurt your feelings baby boy

May as well. Chirping and posturing is the only thing they do well.

Where is the mute button? Lol the only chirping I've heard/seen is from you my friend. Getting me a shirt just for you!

[Beergogglebluez]

I don’t expect a big score. I think ironton gets a nice lead and pulls starters to rest for the prep/ Columbus academy winner.

Very likely. Starters should be done by halftime.

[XandOs]

Ironton will prepare to play a full game. It’s a rivalry game and you never know how games will play out. I think Portsmouth is better than score indicated first time but I also think Ironton can play better as well as they had multiple TDs called back and penalty flags themselves.

I expect a much cleaner game the 2nd go around.

[greygoose]

Ironton just wants to get out of this one healthy I'm sure, not a lot is going to change in 2 weeks from a 50-0 game.

[RollCoal]

I’d like to see Portsmouth compete. But unfortunately I think it’s another run away for Ironton

[Ohio1979]

Excited for this one. I expect us to come out rolling.

God forbid Portsmouth scores and you’re going to stage a walkout, maybe protest in the OU parking lot
