  I've got an odd feeling that it will be close with Chippewa winning or Rittman winning by 2 tds or more...just a gut feeling though

It's not the responsibility of the respective communities to have to censor themselves regarding their thoughts, feelings, and reflections on the players and teams out of a felt need to coddle those who may or may not read here.
  
  
  
  That's just my takeaway, though. Again, I haven't really been paying attention to that whole part of this.

  Amen brother O-Trap, well said. Although I have a sneaky feeling that wcalfan will see it in a whole different light. Like my daddy always said, "Son you just can't fix stupid!!". Words to live by.

  Parent responsibilty? What planet do you live on?
  
  
  I do see a peed off Waynedale team keeping this weeks game close.

  I'm not trying to argue with wcalfan or anything. Hell, there already seems to be some animosity toward me that I wasn't wanting, so I certainly wouldn't invite more.
  
  I just remember that when I was a player, my coaches made it very clear that I was not to get on JJHuddle.com. My parents knew this, and they did their part to make sure I didn't (this is back in about 1999-2000). I wouldn't have asked that the people on there at the time be silent about me or my team. That's not their job. It was my job to avoid distraction, and it was my coaches' and parents' job to help with that.

You would be the same type of fan that if Coach Z would just stand there and be calm about the game, you would rip him for being too nice and not hard enough on the kids. Also, another post on this forum talks about him breaking the game DVD. Claiming that it shows "disinterest" by the coach. Are you kidding me?
  
  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....coaching YOUTH wrestling??? Come on man! Who are you kidding? Let's see you do it at the high school level. No way!
  
  I KNEW you would say that about Nofsinger. He also had some other pretty good players on those teams but it still takes a great leader to get everyone to buy into the TEAM. You wouldn't believe the egos and parent issues he had to deal with during those years. You wouldn't believe it because you don't see those behind the scenes things. You just show up on Friday nights and that makes you the expert!
  
  You ABSOLUTELY make no sense in your post.
  
  It still boils down to having good players who DO THEIR JOB and play as a TEAM. BOTTOM LINE....NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS ABOUT IT. We didn't have leaders who would do that last year and, I hate to say it, we may not have it again this year. Coach Z can teach and preach it all he wants but the players (and unfortunately the parents) must buy into it.
  
  When you talk about our numbers going down you need to make sure you are giving all of the facts. We only have 38 kids on the roster this year but only 5 of them are freshmen. This class BARELY had enough players last year as 8th graders to even field a team. Is that Z's fault? We have averaged almost 12-15 freshmen a year since he has been coach. We have been able to have a freshmen schedule. Something that didn't happen all the time in the past, even when Seder was coaching. So say that we JUST have 12 freshmen out this year, then we are at 45. That is a pretty good number. Yes, there have been years that Z had over 60 kids but we had NEVER seen those numbers before he became coach, NEVER. Doesn't that say something about him??? Kids must like playing for him AND he is doing the same off-season program now that he did back then when he had those high roster numbers. AGAIN, I ask you...why the difference? It is the type of kids that we have right now walking in our halls. I listened to our AD at the fall parent pre-season meeting say that we have become a soft society and I think he has something there.
  
  Using Orrville as your "extremely good example" is actually an extremely bad example that has no merit whatsoever. Did you notice this past Friday that the Red Riders had 8 penalties for 85 yards and turned the ball over 5 TIMES?!?!?!? How many times did that happen last year???? Is that the coaches fault or the players? Who is actually out there playing the game on the field? Do you think that they practice being disciplined during practice? Do you think that Coach DeVault preaches taking care of the ball? The answer to both of those questions is a resounding YES. It really isn't the nature of the beast. It is because of so called fans like yourself, who don't really have a clue and all you want to do is 2nd guess coaches.
  
  You ask if YOU can do better and your answer was "probably not". You are wrong...the answer is "ABSOLUTELY" NOT!!! Watching you try to coach these kids would be laughable and embarrassing for yourself.
  
  Then my favorite part of your post is when you say...."win or lose and support my Bears!" You call this support? The things you have said on this forum is your idea of support?

  I was going to add the pick six and the sack for a loss, but the more pragmatic side of my personality wouldn't let me.
  
  Speaking of Rittman a big 4RINGZ shout out to the Rittman police officer quoted in today's Daily Record article about the found skeletal remains found in a woods near the edge of town. He said, "if he(the guy who found them) hadn't have been hunting in those woods, we may never have found the bones." With logic like that on the investigation we should expect an arrest before sundown tonight.
  
  The weather looks crappy for Fridays games, I say that forces the bobcats into a slower paced ground game and allows da bears an opportunity to keep it close.

  I think the Dawgs get to 3 wins by seasons end! They are improving, a first time head coach is gonna do nothing but keep improving, and the Dawgs finish the season on the upswing and hopefully on their way back to Dalton Tradition!

  the smithville hiisdale game is calling for rain and alot of wind. how will this effect the game. does hillsdale like to throw the ball alot. if so i think it favors smithville
• BRF

  

  I gotta give Mike Plant some props. A great listen is the WQKT Thursday pre-game show they do. It airs at 6:00 and those guys do a great job of giving commentary of the upcoming games!BRF says Go Bears, btw.
