I just don't see how Poland improves by going out and getting pushed around and potentially injured by going up against a team loaded with Division 1 athletes. You know what, I hope Poland schedules Mooney every year in football from here on out. Then we will see what the outcome of the situation is. If losing to Mooney every year makes them a better team and they advance further in the playoffs then i'll put my foot in my mouth and say hey everyone else was right and I was wrong. All those beatings by Mooney really boosted our confidence and got us to the next level. I'm sorry that we do not see eye to eye regarding this matter, but I just don't think losses to perennial powers does anything to better your program. Evidently those losses to Steubenville, Ursuline, and Kettering Alter in years past didn't have the effect that everyone claims "playing the best" does. We can argue all we want, but things won't change. I highly doubt Poland will schedule this game anytime soon so it's silly to have a pissing contest about who should do what. All I know is, that was a very entertaining game last night and Mooney has a darn good team. Once again, nothing but respect for those young men and coaches.....They've really got it all together this year. Best of luck next week against Steubenville!

    As 44Cards stated, that's the difference in the 2 programs (and coaches) Mooney's philosophy is we can't beat you if we don't play you" Poland's is "if we play you we'll probably lose"

    Just look at that game last night, 10,000 fans, and the money went to the state. I remember a few years ago when Mooney was just coming out of their "dark time" and Poland scheduled Alter a parochial school from Dayton, and got beat. Alter brought zero fans, what the heck was that about? crazy

    And what if those 2 '99 teams played, Poland State Champs and Mooney semi-finalists.

    You people just don't get it. You're robbing your kids of the opportunity to compete with the best.

    Entertain this idea: What if you would win?

    Rocket08....I already mentioned that in my post. Everyone talks about how many computer points it would generate IF Poland did win. The same talk arose with Ursuline, Steubenville, etc. However, the past years have proved that Poland hasn't had the firepower or teams to beat these top programs. Poland has had good teams, but not that good. And I guess that's the difference between us and Mooney. You guys are just that much better and not afraid to play anyone. Unfortunately we are not that good, don't have the athletes that you do and therefore need to be intelligent about our scheduling decisions to optimize our season. Listen i'm not a very big fan of complaining or backing down and I know I sound as if i'm belittling Poland's chances, but I just feel that to look at this realistically, it's a matchup that Poland benefits very little from. I agree that it would draw a huge crowd and big gate, which maybe I should consider the importance of that more. A bigger gate would be more money for Poland schools and help to boost the district and maybe draw better athletes. Listen I understand where you're coming from, I just think the accusations are a little harsh toward Poland. There's really not much you or myself can do about it.
