2009 Outlook:

Coming Soon!

Good Luck Chiefs!!!

[keeping it real]

Will they keep Angle at the DE spot if he's your starting QB?????? I see pat playing the DB spot instead of the DE spot.

[loganlocos]

keeping it real -

I don't think anyone but the coaches know for sure what they plan, but my guess is that Pat will see a much more limited role on defense no matter what position he plays. He is too good to see NO time at defense, but I think he will be used similar to Joey Conrad who played end and safety, but only in BIG games and during BIG series.

I'm sure the coaches will have roles figured out for a ton of people. There will be a lot of talent on the sidelines.

Being the QB I hope they won't have to use him

[Orange and Brown]

GO CHEIFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Logan opens the 2008 season as the odds on favorite to repeat as SEOAL Champs. An outstanding non-league schedule is greeted with a brand new stadium, where , unfortunately, they'll lose a close opener to Lancaster ,again, before ripping off a long winning streak .

Logan should not only win the SEOAL, but play-offs are also a strong probability . A 9-1 record is possible. That, given the strength of schedule, means Logan may host a playoff game at the new stadium this year. And an opening win could be in the cards.

Go Chiefs !!

[1987chieftains]

I hope not paladin. It would but great to see our Chiefs snap the losing steak against the Wind bags from the north .
A new stadium, A new era.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

GREAT READ LOCOS.

BUT LOGAN = LITTLE FISH IN BIG POND. WILL RULE THE SEOAL THIS YEAR. COUNT ON IT.

[DRIFTER]

Tiger Bait, your kidding, right? Logan has two brutal games to get through. First the Sheridan scrimmage, and Lancaster. We get through those two games with no injuries and I feel very good about a great season and playoff run.

[3morethan2]

Logan should go undefeated this year with the talent they have coming back....and also after they beat lancaster they should go undefeated and win league and make a deep run in the playoffs...and does anyone have anything on hamilton township?......GO CHIEFFSSSSS 5 PETTEE BABBYYY WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tigercannon71]

I got a question did that big tackle you guys had get any college offers?

[loganlocos]

TC -

Alex Wallace is going to Tiffin University to play football.

[1987chieftains]

THE TEAM IS LOOKING GOOD!! BIG AND FAST!!

[Tigercannon71]

Thanks Locos. Boy I guess Im still rooting against Logan with him at Tiffin. He'll be playing against my alma matre Walsh University.

[dazed&confused]

I still say this year's O-line will be better than last. 4 starters returning and they are bigger and faster this time around. I know they lost a lot of key people last year but this is the best Logan team man-for-man since 2000. Those boys in the junior class just don't know how to lose.
