WEEK 8: GIRARD ( 5-2 ) AT CAMPBELL MEMORIAL ( 6-1 )

• cmhs_pride

  Sonny I have been wondering!!! I say nothing because I do not want to jinx us.
  
  Fellas, we do need to pack this stadium. The turnouts have been decent this year for the most part. But we are not yet where we once were. We need about a thousand more per game to average what we "Averaged" in the regular season. The post season........good luck in trying to beat what we accomplish there. If you do not know what I mean...watch the Mooney game from 86'....wait for the camera to pan the crowd.....and the only word out of your mouth will be WOW when you see the 6,000 plus wearing red and black waiving the towels.
  
  I will also call us out for something else. Are we at a Library convention or something at these games. I mean we are a joke when it comes to cheering. Me included. Fourth and four...our defense looking to make a stop and you could hear a pin drop on our side. No lie. All the guys around me agree. There needs to be more yelling, more cheering, more people showing support for the kids on the field. This game is HUGE against a former foe who we need no introduction to let me tell you. It's time fellas. It's time to make a statement right now on TV in front of this Valley that we can and will take you down. Not next week.....Not next year....RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

  CONSTANT PRESSURE, PRESSURE, PRESSURE ON THE QB. key to this game. they will not run the ball effectively. they will pass all day and we need to knock the qb down constantly. that will win this game
• soupcitysoldier

  by the way campbell moved up to no. 4 in the region...picked up a ton of secondary points. with a win this week we will be in great position, considering the top teams still have competitive games left and some even against eachother.

  All we have to do is win this week and things will fall into place. We have to take care of our own business before worrying about which teams are ahead of us and which are behind us. If we beat Girard, we're in great shape.

  I was over there on jj and not a single person there thinks we have a chance with the superior girard team. well like i preach we didn't get to be 6-1 by stinking up the field. Campbell needs to take care of Knapik field. This is the big one men. We all need to stand behind them like we never did. Bring a Trumpet and someone learn how to play the charge theme! This is why there will never be another Archie!

  ATTENTION: finally some truth will be spoken on this forum. cmhspride please inform icbm that he is a snake just like every other person from girard. heres the truth regard landon smith. THE EJECTION WAS NEVER CALLED INTO THE STATE BY THE OFFICIAL!!! girard got the official on the phone saturday and went over the ruling and convinced the old poor ref he made the wrong call...and the ref agreed that it was the wrong call and never turned in the ejection. this is why icbm was claiming on a SATURDAY that the kid will play. The state has no idea of the ejection. clever girard clever. it wouldnt be as clever if it wasnt printed in the VINDICATOR!!! so girard and cochran are trying a sly move, putting it out there that everything is cleared up and the kids gonna play hoping no one from campbell will say anything. or the comment that was made from cochran..."campbell people are too stupid to double check this with the state." nice girard real nice. well guys heres a dose of reality for you. if its not turned into the state the referee faces severe punishment and will not be allowed to work any games the rest of the regular season and will get last dibs on playoff crews. girard will have to forfeit the game against campbell if smith plays...and if inproprieties are discovered with tampering with the ref not to call the ejection in they may have to forfeit the niles game also. so please go back and tell honest icbm that girards plan is revealed and tell cochran we arent that stupid. im sure the ejection will be called in first thing tomorrow morning...id hate for the first person to call in the ejection to ohsaa be the superintendent of campbell city schools. thank you and goodnight...what else would expect from girard. i knew something was fishy when the ruling was made on a saturday at 5. who was in the office on a weekend to make a ruling on the appeal? lol dont be so gullible guys...the state should be making a ruling soon.
• sonnyblack

  Wow, what can you say to that?
• soupcitysoldier

  and dont tell me no one from campbell should call it into ohsaa...because girard would do it to us in a split second. dont be fools guys...cochran and girard are trying to make fools out of us all. if your ejected you have to sit one game. no ifs ands or buts about it .
• soupcitysoldier

  614-267-2502....ohsaa. please take time to call their offices tomorrow and inform them of this violation. will someone please fax a copy of the vindicator article stating that landon smith was ejected also 614-267-1677 (fax number). thanks guys.
• cmhs_pride

  You know what I dont give a damn if the kid plays or not. If I am a Red Devil football player I say put his butt right across from me and let him taunt my ass.
  
  I get you on what you are saying, I honestly do, and quite Frankly i will be honest. Girards Head Coach can go fly a kite in hell for all I care. Never cared for him and his cocky mouth when we were in High School and you know what...I didnt care for his stupid father either. Hows that for honesty. They are directly responsible for the beginning of our demise in the MVC. Are you old enough to remember the 87' game? Trust me.....I would not put it past that guy for one second. So please do not think I am gullible or naive when it comes to these people.
  
  My point is this.....put the punk on the field and beat him. He wants to act like an idiot out there, Knock his head off. Plain and simple.
• BigDean1

  

  OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• reddevil90

  

  GIVE PRIDE A HEEEELLLLLLLL YEAHHHH!!!! THIS IS TUNING INTO A SLOBBER KNOCKER.....
  
  My question is why would they take a shot at forfeiting a game. Cause if they do and get caught they can say we still beat them and they get our points. well i say beat them and then let them forfeit there game and make them look like idiots. cause if we do and he played illegally i for one want to win this game and tell them you guys need to use a ineligible player to try and beat us.
  
  With Smith Campbell 35 girard 14
  without smith Campbell 35 girard 14
  I hope this is not true Soup cause if it i have lost all respect for Girard or any fans that knew this and acted like it didn't happen. Its wrong and down right damn Sneaky. If its True.
• soupcity99

  Wow sounds like someone stirred up cmhs pride!!!
• Ohio

  

  You do not have to come out and call the kid a punk in any means he is only a kid. IMO i would not want anyone throwing any excuses why they won or lost. Skevo hurts campbell him being out and wish he was able to play that has to be dis hearting to a young man as a senior watching his brothers on the team play and him having to sit out. So much hostility going on about this game and yes Girard is known for their sneaky ways as mostly everyone from the area should know. I cannot wait to watch this game at 10 when i get home. If anyone can post updates throughout the game it will be greatly appreciated.
• soupcity99

  the story is on vindy.com and it states that the ejection was called into the ohsaa. Sound pretty confusing to me but realistically who cares who plays or not. If we tackle and cover we win no matter who is on the field friday night. Here is the link

  Ohio i will try to post the updates on my phone. Like i said Campbell still wins 35 to 14. I don't care who plays or who gets ejected lol. We are Red Devil Pride sitting right here. We have to Believe in them they are going to win this game. I know they have the kids on the team to hang with anyone including Salem. we let the game get out of our hands in the second half. Give Salem credit. But they only had one player we had to worry about. And now we have one player to worry about again. he is no tootheman and we have speed to keep him at bay. I'm confident about that. they will not make the same mistake twice. Plus girard is weak in the running department. they will pass on almost every down
• sonnyblack

  I just read, according to the vindy online, that the suspension was rescinded. It states the story will be in todays edition.
• cmhs_pride

  Ohio, let me explain something. My real name is not Dr. Phil or Montell Williams. I actually work with kids from all over the valley and love every minute of it. Great kids from all over. Young...teenagers...even some college athletes. Boys, girls, whatever. Been doing it now for 8 years. Very rarely I cross paths with kids who are 7 or 8 years old and really have a hard time behaving themselves. I get that. A quick sit down and an understanding of what you expect from them and off you go. Little kids are hilarious, curious and amazing to watch grow up. Have one of my own.
  
  He's a little nut already and he is not even ten months yet. Saying all that let me say this now. With different kids and different genders/ ages you have to watch how you handle them when discipline comes into play. I am a strong advocate of that. Let me tell you now what else i am a strong advocate of. Telling 17 year old boys exactly what they are acting like when they do stupid things that cost their team or themselves when at that age...THEY KNOW BETTER. So excuse me if i am not looking out for his inner child. Oh dear. I hope I haven't scarred him for life. Give me a break. This bologna anymore with some people and their going on talk shows because they called it like it is with a teenager is beyond ridiculous and the exact reason we are where we are with our kids today. He is 17 my man. He is old enough to choose his college he will play at and in less than a year he can vote for the president of the U.S.A. He is also old enough to drive a vehicle out on the same roads you and i are on. How's that for only being "a kid"? He has been in the endzone 100 times over his football playing life. ACT LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE. But NOOOOOOOOO, he wants to be Deion Sanders/ T.O./ Ocho Cinco. Well then.....you want to act like that at that age....then I will call you what you are....A punk. What part do you not understand?
  
  As far as Girard goes.....plain and simple.....If I am a Campbell football player....I say bring the whole damn team. Bring the whole town as well. And put the "young" man out there at Wideout all night. And if he wants to dance out there go right ahead. Dance away. And then dance right into my sites when you get the chance......and god be with you, because nobody else will be. But that's just me. I am tired of cockiness and arrogance being allowed because..."they are just kids". Save it.
• cmhs_pride

  Believe it or not I am calm, . lol. Can you tell how often I deal with the poor kid syndrome when basically all I want one time is for the kid to say " You know what, my dad is great, my mom is great, I 'm just a moron sometimes."
• QuakerOats

  "But that's just me. I am tired of cockiness and arrogance being allowed because..."they are just kids". Save it. "
  
  Thank you!!!!
  
  And ................ Go Campbell!!!
• soupcitysoldier

  such a fishy story...but im moving on. girards a bunch of cheaters...but at least they realize they need to cheat to beat us. SHUT THEM UP! LETS GO DEVILS!!!! POUND THEM FROM START TO FINISH! were better than them dont let smith touch the ball...come out with a chip on your shoulder...reddevil90 if you can...can you copy and paste the predicted scores on jjhuddle on campbells page on facebook? i want these guys to have some extra motivation for this game...no ones giving us a chance. i know the boys are all over facebook all the time.
• reddevil90

  

  Soup I'm on it bro. I am all for this cause they are so confident and they are saying Campbell is good but not good enough to win with Girard. they are mistaken us for last years team. There is this thing they keep talking about the 86 or 87 game I'm not sure i follow. Something happen and i was young and don't remember that game. I was probably checking out the cheerleaders back then being 14 years old and all. or i might not been at the game. but it sounds like we did something or did they. cause they claim that there kids know about there tradition more then our devils know about ours? cause we have coaches that went to struthers? well our head coaches father was a great Campbell football player under Knapik. and he knows about campbell's tradition. and I'm sure they watched some old films of our great teams. I don't care anymore its war time. I smell a AAC championship. and its about time we get ours! Its way overdue don't you agree. Bring the Fire devils. Us fans need to put a fire under these kids and let them know we are hard core devils fans. I love my Devils more then i love my Beloved browns.
• cmhs_pride

  The 1987 Campbell/ Girard football game is one of the most disgusting events I have ever attended. I was a senior and that was one of the ugliest scenes I have ever witnessed in High School football. Unfortunately we all acted like "PUNKS" that night after one of the worst displays of refereeing I have ever seen in my life. First down and 55 yards to go. That is all I am going to say. Ironically the QB for Girard is now their head coach. The girard staff, players and fans on that night showed some of the worst displays of sportsmanship in the world. I regret giving in and retaliating like an idiot. Bad night. Rather forget it.
• sonnyblack

  Pride, I thought it was 1st and 60. Anyway, letsgodevils- gotta crank that volume on the triple h entrance music come friday night brother. This game definitely has a feel from the 80's thats for sure. Time to shine Devils, this is what you worked so hard for, go out there and "smack em".
• oldschoolreddev

  Good luck red devils. This is what its all about. Two old rivals playing for a share of the league crown, playing the defending champion. It doesn't get any better than that.
  
  Seniors, this is the opportunity that you have been waiting for. Don't let it slip away.
  
  If girard needs to use what happened 23 years ago, then I believe that coach cochran has some serious doubts about his teams chances of winning. The game and everything at stake is more than enough.
  
  I can't wait for Friday. Good luck to the coaches and kids this week. Leave it all on the field.
