Logan Football League Talk

Why move? Its fun picking on inbred rednecks.

Hey, I resemble that remark !

Locos

1. That's a very "loose" resurrection of the Central Ohio League. At the risk of sounding like a curmudgeon, however, that is nothing like the old COL. The COL I think is so dead in its legacy and history, and their former members are a couple conference re-affiliations removed, that trying to make a conference of that brand is a very confusing idea to many while also being a downright bad one. (In fact, I think you may made some Chillicothe alumni in the process).

For us old curmudgeons, here is a roster of the teams that were once in the Central Ohio League. For some reason, I want to say Portsmouth was a member of the COL for a short while back in the 60's after they left the Greater Ohio League (GOL). The COL was a premier league in Ohio in the early 70's.:

Talk about travel time

[Omega]

Talk about travel time

Of course up until 1973, gas was $0.34 or so a gallon.

[noreply66]

what time were some of these kids getting HOME at night or next morning?

[formerfcfan]

Noreply,

I can think of two very horrendous former affiliation drives. Lancaster to Fremont Ross & Lima Senior to Warren County.

[noreply66]

Sounds like a overnight

[GoBucks1047]

Well Jackson to the SCOL is possible again even though the SCOL was originally not interested in them. It will be interesting to see that happens throughout the next month.

[Poo Bear]

If Jackson and Logan are accepted they need to go and start a new tradition with new rivalries

[GoBucks1047]

It'd still be nice to see Jackson and Logan play annually if both are accepted into separate leagues. Keep a little bit of tradition from the SEOAL going, but new tradition and rivalries are good too.

I think they need to play too.

Definitely agree.

How about Jackson vs. Logan in Week 1 every year?

[noreply66]

sounds good

[TRENCHFOOT]

Sounds real good to me as well.

Since they won't be playing for league titles against each other they can play for a traveling trophy.

The IronChief trophy...

That's actually a great idea, I don't know if week 1 will work with Jackson playing Wellston in week 1, but maybe Logan can play Lancaster or Athens Week 1 and have Logan and Jackson play week 2

Cool thought O&B. Good idea.

[dazed&confused]

OK but lets wait until Logan gets an official invite to the LCL and accepts.

That would be nice IMO to play Lancaster again too. I know some didn't like it but I did, and know a few others that did as well. Either way works for me though.
