Ironton - Burg debate

[MrPerfect]

As for the game, I think the Tigers have an excellent advantage. Kaskey really hurts Burg because now Ironton has IMO a better playcaller offensively. Defensively the edge once again goes to the Tigers. Burg’s play calling has been lack luster the past few seasons. I expect the Tigers to run away with this early.

Completely agree with Burg’s play calling. Calling it “lack luster” is kind. It has been a dumpster fire!

As for Kaskey, while at Burg, he fell in love with the pass and gave up on the run too quickly. That may not be a problem given IHS’ talent, but it was an issue at times in Burg.

No doubt IHS has the talent to blow this open. First game always brings surprises so will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Exactly one month away from this game. It will be here before we know it.

Hopefully it will be competitive like last years game. Burg shot themselves in the foot last year with two picks in the endzone. Big plays that turned that game.

Burg must be up to a lotta foot shootin since they are 1 and 9 combined vs Ironton, Jackson, and Prep over the last 3 seasons.

Dumpster fire and superior coaching and culture aint matching up skippy. But this time I agree with you. Being 1 and 9 combined vs Ironton Jackson and Prep over the last 3 seasons is waste bin worthy. The "superior coaching & culture" musta graduated in 2017.

Must have but at least it graduated with a state championship something Ironton hasn't seen in their last 3 trips and each game worse and worse I mean running clocks wow. I mean even if we disregard the 80s championships, Burg is 1-0 with a ring and well Ironton gets worse with every attempt at 0-3 all those great 7-7 teams and South Range flat out embarrassed them with over 300 yards passing, but heck had over 200 rushing I mean at no point in that game did it every look like Ironton ever had a clue much like their first 2 trips. Shame all that "talent" and can't play on the big stage, I would say maybe it is a SEO thing, but heck Burg was able to walk away with a championship on their first try. Pendleton and company going to go down as all smoke and no substance. What's great about this, is this will be my last response to you as I will no longer see your post you made the Foe list you simply offer nothing to any topic knowledge simply isn't there it's why you're just antagonistic poster. I'm just glad you were able to transfer your kid in this year to watch them lose yet again in the playoffs.

Man if my team or whatever was 1 - 9 over the last 3 seasons vs Ironton Jackson & Prep combined, Idk if I would have a whole lot to say. Them boys must be locked in. Thing is you are pressed about it because during football season burg & burg fans kinda feel overlooked because of the spotlight on Ironton. Ironton has gotten the better of them especially the last 6 years or so which about adds up with when the guy that makes middle aged men from anywhere near the lawrence or scioto county line A$$holez PUCKER. took over at Ironton. And he has mostly taken burgs so called "superior coaching & culture" & flat out beat it. He has also consistently beaten teams that have ALSO beat burg. In his tenture as HC he has been to as many state title games as burg has managed in their programs history. Burg fans SHOULD hate him because Ironton has gotten the better of burg in his tenure. But its corny when ya just aint got the heart to admit all the gas and lil exagerated water cooler reasons are just excuses hiding that its really because Pendleton & Ironton have Woodard & burgs number. Just admit it.

Burg was at home on the couch when ya watched Ironton play in those games huh?

[FIDO]

Ironton needs Burg more than Burg needs Ironton. Let Ironton figure out week 1. The big bad tigers can compete with anyone. Prove it!! Burg should drop their a$$ they aren't needed

Ironton was talking about dropping Burg after the 2018 season because of all the ass kickings Burg had been giving them for the last 7-8 games. It was a big time discussion on here. Then along came Pendleton and he was able to bring in kids to help him win because he sure as hell wasn't winning with what was in house at the time.

This might be a rivalry game to Ironton but it sure isn't to Burg. This will become a must win for Ironton now with the brutal schedule they are now going to have to play without any league games. Who they going to play if Burg, Fairland and Portsmouth decide to drop them in the future? Once Pendleton leaves and yes he will leave for a bigger school someday because Ironton isn't getting him what he wants which is titles. Getting these kids scholarships makes him look good but with the way most of them are not staying at the original school they went to or just not playing anymore at all makes him look bad. Hell, he's already went behind everyone's back up there and applied for the Moeller job yet they still welcome him with open arms.

I remember the fans carrying on like it was the end of the world. Lutz retired and the wheels came off. Fans became depressed and they viciously attacked the coaching staff. It happens when the talent pool dries up and you must recruit to compete, transfer or whatever. It certainly isnt home grown. At least the fanbase stopped their hyperventilating, for now.

Some are still posting here.

Now it appears shoe is on the other foot and Wheelersburg has taken a significant step back.

Not for sure I completely agree with this statement given the amount of noise that is made, the fans that are showing up and how the games have been turning out especially the playoff game. I do 100% believe this is a rivalry game for both teams, just having 2 programs of that magnitude so close together, playing year in and year out is going to turn it into one. Look at the amount of post just this game gets, look around in the stands that's the definition of rivalry whether you want to admit it or not.

That comment by a wheelereburg fan for me displays wheelersburgs fans frustration with this rivalry now similar to Irontons frustrations a few years ago. Ironton has dominated this rivalry all time head to head and Ironton is currently getting the better of wheelersburg. I think pirate fans are really starting to feel like they have underperformed because the window they enjoyed when they were a better team was already significantly smaller than the dominance Ironton has enjoyed against the pirates. And now the pirates are playing from underneath yet again. That game will be here in a blink. How do pirate fans feel about week 1?

That is a cold glass of water. I have read a lot of the Ironton and Wheelersburg threads. Pirate fans are really frustrated with their program over this rivalry.

Per above Wheelersburg has a very poor record against Jackson and two of their region 19 rivals. Do you sense similar frustration brewing in the wheelersburg fanbase? I sure do after reading.

There is some level of rivalry, at least in football, but it is not Burg’s top rival nor Ironton’s.

Burg’s will always be West, Ironton’s is Portsmouth; Ashland would be second on Ironton’s list if they still played. Portsmouth would be a big one for Burg along with Waverly.

Burg’s goals are:
- Win SOC
- Host home playoff games
- Win state

Ironton, win or lose in week 1, doesn’t have a significant impact on 2 of those 3, and only some impact on the “host playoff game” since that can be achieved regardless of the win or loss.

[greygoose]

Pendleton and company going to go down as all smoke and no substance.

Good call on the “Foe list” and “Last response.”

Hopefully we can have some better conversations come football season.

Does the foe list automatically block new account names started by blocked users?

Well, unfortunately no but luckily those users aren't smart enough to disguise themselves very well so you can quickly add them as well.

No, but as has been said, you can quickly tell the person despite the name.

[fbnut]

I didn’t think it did…and you’re correct about the “disguise”

I can read the post and tell it’s the same person, then I check the date they joined. I have the same person blocked under about 5 different user names
