I'll be there. If there's any seats left, I get out of work at 7:30ish in Canton.

Texas is another hotspot for high school football. Most places in the country draw less fans and students to varsity football games than some of the JV games in the hot spots. We might not get a lot of recruits from Texas (although we were getting quite a few from Florida another hot spot), getting good players from Ohio gets their family and friends to the games. They have support. They can go home on holidays and on weekends in the off season.

We need another experienced college head coach. It was the experienced Bowden who rescued the program from the disaster the inexperienced iCoach left us with. We need anopther experienced college head coach to take it from here. How many rookie head coaches have we lived through between the Zips and the Browns over the decades?

We can talk about population all week, but the simple fact is football is THE sport in Ohio high schools, especially northeast Ohio. It's a northeast Ohio hotbed. The best athletes play football in high school. In other parts of the country, that isn't true.

Mike McCarthy is unemployed now.

...a sad ending to a successful coaching career. 175–114–2

How long does Vince Kehres' have left on his contract?

...and this one mercifully ends. Last one out turn out the lights.

At least we're not sitting in the freezing rain watching this.

We've seen more of him than we have seen Kato upright.

Another helmet-to-helmet hit. I'd be happy to never play in an SEC stadium again.

Well that's a new way to screw up...

They're doing their job as SEC homers (I MEAN) refs.

Seriously? The targeting penalty was overturned? Welcome to SECland...

It's not too early to speculate. It's a discussion forum, where we talk about our favorite teams. I'm about 50/50 whether we're looking at new coaches. If it was just injuries, I'd say those are the breaks. But the debacle where players didn't want to be there, not giving a comete effort, lining up on the wrong side of the field. That is a coaching issue and someone has to go...

I think the FUBAR called the Bowling Green game set up the expectations we have now. And for the most part, the Ohio game just backed them up. ...from a team that won the division title and went to a bowl game last season. Blaming the fans or soccer is a bit myopic.

Just got home and started watching the game on DVR. Wish I had read the thread first, would have saved me some indigestion. Somewhere iCoach is snickering.

Well that was 4 hours of my life I'll never get back. This was the first game I made this year because of work and family. It was like going to games in the iCoach era. The running game was sorry, the receivers were unable to pull in footballs placed in their hands (when the receiver and Kato ran the same play) the play calling left me scratching my head, and wore the defense down by not letting them catch a break. Fans were yelling at the refs for bad calls, that's not what stopped the offense. This is not the team I watched earlier in the season. Unacceptable.

Bob has been officially hired by Chris Sabo as part of his recruiting staff.

If this helps clean up the college basketball cesspool, I'm all for it.

Here's a video I "captured" from a local TV show. I recorded it on my phone, so don't expect ,groundbreaking quality!!! http://www.ohiovalleysystem.com/video-1540835004.mp4

One thing a start-up can offer to recruits is early playing time. Potentially a four year starter gig if you're good and nobody better transfers in during your stint.

From my understanding, we're right at the maximum number of scholarships in NCAA baseball.

So he's going to come in and upstage the Zips. D bag...
