    Very true, but their lack of experience in a really big game may add to the history of slipping up in a big game this year. Time will tell...

    I call the following, "the Red Rum Model". It is full of assumptions, so please don't create any perceived disrespect to your team as none is intended.

    "RR" Model Rankings
    1A-Norwayne
    1B-Hillsdale
    2A-Smithville
    2B-Waynedale


    WCAL as I see it: 4 possible championship contenders remain. (NOR, HILLS, SMV, WD)
    The above are all operating under the assumption of 4-0 conference records.......that is beating nwn, dal, ritt & chip.

    The championship chase begins Fri 9/23 with Waynedale hosting Smithville. The loser is basically out of it as they still must face the big 2 (Nor,Hills) with a conference loss.

    Sept 30 is a really big week as the contenders all face off. Waynedale at Norwayne / Smithville at Hillsdale.
    I'm guessing someone will be officially eliminated after the dust clears on this week. Probably Waynedale or Smithville.

    Oct 7-Hillsdale travels to Waynedale. Probable end of tough 3 weeks for Bears and title hopes. Possible stumbling block for Falcons or even their own Waterloo.

    Oct 14- Week of chest beating and stat padding.

    Oct 21- If the Smithies are still in the hunt, a visit by the Bobcats will be a huge game and chance to reclaim old glory. I see the final nail in a big green coffin.

    Oct 28- The BIG one! Wild, Wonderful Crestvirginia, Ohio....Hillsdale at Norwayne. 2 highly talented and motivated teams battle for the trophy and bragging rights. Hillsdales post season hopes will probably be on the line and Norwayne will be jacked up for the biggest home game since hosting Smithville in a battle of the unbeatens in the early 90s. I'd tell you what happens....but what fun would that be?


    note: a brief history of Red Rum predictions-
    The sun will rise in the east on Monday Sept 19, 2011.......Nailed it. Spot on.....I am Nostradamus.
    Bucyrus will win some games for Hillsdale........................well, maybe not.
    Rittman will spank Mapleton..........................................I blame Billy boy Dennis, that friggin team wrecker!!!!

    Really good analysis Red Rum

    OQB, I aggree with you....but the last couple years, the seniors this year for Hillsdale have been involved in some really big games and done pretty well. One game at a time and I think that the title chase will be exciting for the "top" four in the leauge.

    Absolutely, like I said I'm not saying they can't run the table because they most certainly can. History just doesn't look like it. I agree with your other point as well, these senior classes for both schools have played in the playoffs and know what it takes.
  • THE4RINGZ
    Norwayne got some valuable play off experience last season, here's to hoping that can pay off in the big games this season.
  • Bobcat3
    All this talk about undefeated and what history says....Norwayne has to take it one game at a time, they can't look past Rittman...got to get prepared.....GO CATS. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

    That might be the smartest thing you have ever posted.
  • Bobcat
    Im with Bobcat3 on this. One game at a time. I am amazed with all of this talk about Norwayne. We've won 4 games and even The Daily Record has got us playing Orrville in the playoffs. Rittman this week then we'll worry about next week. I hope the Cats dont get caught up in all of this BS.

    Good to see some good, down to earth posting! Norwayne is absolutely LOADED....and your sophomore class has been successful at every level.

    My hope is that My Bears can manage to hang with Smithville.....its the start of a BIG 3 week run followed by Hillsdale and Norwayne. Hopefully we can get that win back from last year against Norwayne....Give Hillsdale a reminder about throwing deep when you are up 35 in the 4th....but 1st and foremost.....just beat Smithville...by +1

    Edit: i would take any margin of victory...but just 1 is fine
  • OQB
    I second that intelligent post comment beast! These are high school kids that can perform many different ways on any given night. Take one game at a time, don't take anyone lightly, and see where the chips fall after the week 10 game. I would love to finally see an Orrville WCAL matchup....but both teams have tons of football to be played and have to show up each week with one goal in mind.

    Not sure here, Hillsdale won last year 36-14, some one was still playing ball in the 4th. How do you score just one?

    Close....switch the last "a" with the "u" then add another "s" on the end. A much more fitting description of yourself

    55-8 Norwayne.........What bank should I take this to?
    .......cause I think it bounced


    Speaking of Northwestern.....
    They aren't the best 0-4 team in Ohio, but they're also not the worst. Their schedule has been rough....Black River, Crestview & Norwayne all 4-0 and Mogadore at 2-2. This is the week where victory is possible. From what I hear, the QBs are all banged up and a new youth movement might be implemented at that position this week (just a rumor)
    I'm also told some of the young guys are starting to get their varsity feet under them......Syd?....what's the word?
    Pride is the only thing on the line this week for both NWN and DOY. This game will show who has more.

    in conclusion.....
    to all the 1 game at a time guys......
    Thats the Locker room........THIS IS THE INTERNET!!!!!!......there's a thread dedicated to boobs on here for heavens sake.:D

    Looking at future games, predicting outcomes and goofing on bad predictions make this thread entertaining.
    except for Paul....who lives in his own special world.

    "Favorite" is a relative term. They might be someone's favorite, but there is no objective "favorite."

    Even still, I don't think anyone is counting them out. I know that, to this point, I've been one of their schedule's biggest skeptics, but this is definitely a good team. You won't have a single team in the league, Norwayne included, that will overlook them.
    THE4RINGZ;905245 wrote:This years Bears v. Smithies game is what makes WCAL football so great.

    I haven't used this word in years, but it's an apt one for games such as these: SLOBBERKNOCKER!

    I'm really bummed that I'm not going to make it to that game. :mad:
    footballnut;905497 wrote:I have seen Norwayne play. I need to get to the Hillsdale/Smithville game. When do they play and where? I dont want to hurt Beasts feelings but I think those are the two that will challenge Norwayne. Waynedale can change all of that with a win this weekend however.

    Smithville and Hillsdale play a week from Friday in Jeromesville. I'm going to travel down from North Akron to see that game. Sounds like a lot of Huddlers are going. Should have a shindig or at least overload a section.

    I'm excited for this!
    footballnut;905563 wrote:It looks like I'm off to Hillsdale a week from Friday. Hopefully I get to see a good one. I'd love to see Hillsdale and norwayne match up undefeated, last game of the year.

    I agree with OQB. It's seems rare for a team to make it through the WCAL unscathed.

    Oh yeah. There have been SO many shared titles recently, including that damn 3-way title in '04 between Waynedale, Dalton, and Smithville.
    Paul;905673 wrote:Ok footballnut repeat after me " NORWAYNE, NORWAYNE, NORWAYNE". Do that a couple hundard times and maybe you will get it. Bobcat stalk!

    Did you escape from somewhere or something? Norwayne is good, but nobody rolls this conference. I'm hoping that you're talking like this because you're a high school kid full of spirit (cheerleader?).

    That was actually one of the biggest fears when Smithville was so good. Eventually, it happened. The guys started thinking that teams were just going to lay down for them. They forgot that being at the top of the pile means that everyone has a sight on beating you.
    Go Falcons;906161 wrote:How do you score just one?
    Jerk answer: Forfeit. The technical score of a forfeit is 1-0.

    Not that that helps with your actual situation, as the teams were playing each other, but you score one point if the other team forfeits. ;)

    OK wise guy...I was in Manhattan so I didnt see the game....I just know what YOU and others told me...

    1. Up 28-0?28-7?? 30-7??? IDK..But you threw the deep ball....???? NICE!!!!

    2. You were complaining because you were up 36-7? 36-14? and Coach Williams called off the dogs.....but Bears didnt....it obvious that there were no dogs to call off...look in the archives...I'll bet you can find me with a band reference....a 1 win team...eventually a 2 win team...dont usually take their starters off the field....BECAUSE THEY CANT WIN WITH THE STARTERS...so lets put the JV's in.....Cmon man.... REALLY???

    More of a family event conflict on my wife's side. She's from Medina. They don't care about HS football out that way.

    I'm game...........when the fallout from last week dies down and the fallout was significant....

    My gf told me....and I paraphrase, leaving out the curse words...."rolling in drunk, broke and belligerent the NEXT DAY is not condusive to a healthy relationship."

    So....no more benders (or football games, or fun of any sort) for awhile.

    I disagree with your gf. Sometimes me drinking heavily is the only thing that keeps my relationship healthy. And you can cite me as a reference in your next discussion on said topic with your lady friend. You are welcome.
