  I figured Massillon either had a copyright in the Tigers or sent a goon squad down and threatened the poor folks in Mansfield back in the day

  ^^ Thanks for the picture. During my run at lunch today we ran by the stadium, and they were still working on something towards the top of the scoreboard. Glad it's finished!
• Old Rider

  

  RR1...did u get my check I sent you? I want my boy playing both ways tonight!
• ridernation

  Can I please have your correct address my last check was returned non-deliverable and my son only got to play on 1 kickoff squad or was that JV?
• Old Rider

  

  ^^^ Just make checks payable to RedRiderSportsBlog and he will see to it that any athlete whom parents feel are getting a raw deal on playing time..will get just that...playing time!:rolleyes:
• OQB

  

  Scoreboard looks great now that it is FINALLY completed! lol Thanks again go to the donor!
• 5knots

  

  That is very nice on top of the scoreboard. Thank you to the donor(s) I hope you are satisfied as well. If you have any other extra bank I would appreciate it if you would send it to the blog in my kids name. He wants more playing time as well and I have three kids in college!!!!

  I think I heard this or saw it in a Senior program, but it was derived from a poem. Need some help from BRF to confirm this.

  I'd call Triway and Northwest winning tonight an upset if it happens.
  
  Lex has Clear Fork....Should be a win for Lex, but you never know with them.
  
  Triway or NW winning would be a nice bonus of computer points. If both win, we get an additional .95 points which would be huge among the top 4 in our region.

  Northwest is very capable of a win against New Philly. With the Indians speed they should control the Quakers young offense and move the ball on them. I see a NW win.
  Lex and Clear Fork will be a good tight game either could win, mistakes will decide.
  Triway vs Tuslaw,.............. well if you can't beat Fairless in football it looks like a really long season of few points from them. Come on Pitman get them going

  If you saw that in a program, then I MIGHT put some stock into it (since we're talking about money talks and bull sh** walks lately ).
  
  I know some people that would know the answer, but they have dropped off the face of the earth as far as posting. One was Malabar10 and the other was coacheswife (she was the wife of the former Coach Smith). Speaking of Smith, another good source for this Tyger business would have been Smitty. Maybe Rocky would know.

  Mansfield 21, Orrville 14
  
  OUCH! So much for Orrville running away with the league title!
• ridernation

  I must have gone to the wrong game I saw Senior play Orrville same score though
• GoJPM!

  

  The OCC really stinks this year.....OMG....smh....lmao
  
  Clear Fork, supposed to be a down year for them, every week there is a game they can't win but do, like tonight against BJ's overrated bunch over at Lexington.
  
  
  Madison is 4-1. Think West Holmes is too.
  
  CF and WH are tied for first in the conference. No one picked either of them to contend for the title this year.
  
  
  And Ashland, my oh my, what happened tonight in the 4th quarter? Friend went to that game with West Holmes and said it was a total and complete meltdown in the fourth. He said it was very "painful" to watch in the 4th.
  
  
  Said early this week that it would come down to Orrville and Ashland. Well, pretty sure it won't now. Maybe Orrville can rebound but how many games has Ashland lit it up only to get lit up worse by their opponents? Smh....
  
  Wonder if any OCC team will qualify for the state playoffs this year????
• Red Rider Nation

  Our coaching staff is an absolute embarassment to high school football. Im sick and tired of it. Whats it going to take for a change? A very talented team that wont make the playoffs? Well stay tuned because thats whats about to happen. THis is the most uninspired Orrville team I have ever seen. Again Lichti makes mistakeS AND NOBODY SAYS ANYTHING TO HIM. Thats not coaching. I noticed Kyle Simmons in the booth upstairs. WHy isnt he on the field helping Lichti with decision making. Penalties, turnovers, more penalties, more turnovers. Unacceptable!!! THose kids that get those penalties should be yanked out of the game as soon as possible and get their head straight rather we leave them in to make more stupid penalties. Anyone want to argue with me about Matt Davis playing offense again? Well you shouldnt because when Mason is in the backfield we are predictable. I love Masons game but he cant do it by himself and needs to learn how to hold on to the football. He is good for one fumble per game. WHoever is calling our plays should take a page from Mansfields book as they mix it up a bit. Oh not Orrville, we call about 3 plays and guess what? Against good teams you arent fooling anyone. A bigger embarrasment may be the Orrville band. THey show up as the game is starting and you cant even hear them play. They should be playing late in the game when the game gets close to get the fans and players into it but that must be too much to ask. Heck I will coach the football team and direct the band at the same time and do better than these jokers!!! It wouldnt be that hard!! Red Rider tradition is gone as long as Devault is our coach because the things that made Orrville football what they are do not exist anymore. Get me a new coach please!
• ECOLace

  Not so confident that Orrville could beat Ursuline then eh?
