[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

OH SNAP, THAT JUST HAPPENED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELL PLAYED FAN.

[Noitall]

BURG IS SO GREAT WHY NOT SCHEDULE A BIG BOY HERE. BISHOP HARTLEY, OR SOMEONE THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HELP IN THE PLAYOFFS. IRONTON USE TO SCHEDULE AT LEAST 2 BIG ONES NOT JUST BEAT UP TEAMS THEY ARE CAPABLE OF BEATING.

Yeah ,then when your great coach gets run out of town and all them players quit coming to play for us all and. You start getting pounded , You all can join the OVC to try to pick up a couple wins and talk about yesteryear

[Noitall]

It is games like these that put the Pirates behind the 8 ball heading into week 14.

Who you gonna play that gets you 30 points better to beat coldwater?

No one from the OVC. That's for sure.

I agree , the soc will prepare them

[Mad-Dogg]

Burg by 7...............................touchdowns

We can't do anything about our conference. We can however drop a few teams. I know we pick up Watterson next year. That will be a great improvement to the strength of schedule.

Burg by alot

[callie15]

People want Burg to play bigger schools why? I think they wanr them to get beat to make themselves feel better. The Burg is a small div 5 school why play bigger school to risk injurys like Hartley did a few years ago did in the playoffs. Play the soc schools, play who'll play you and let them come up to your level or cry when you get run over.

[Firebreather]

Fisher kid is a nice player but having said that, this one is a laugher. Burg by however many they want.

You play a better schedule to make yourself better to better prepare yourself for the types of teams you will see if you make a long playoff run. Better teams will expose weakness that you might be able to correct before its 1 and done. teaches you not to panic in close games. running clocks in the second half don't help you much

Plus the speed of the game is totally different. Playing weak slow teams like we did Friday breeds a comfort level and decision making at that speed. Then when you see a real team with speed it can be a shock to your system.

If you have prepared and played against faster and better teams you yourself will be faster and better.

Fisher is good and #1 is really good. In fact they may be the two best players on the field. Quarterback is good too. They just have little outside of that and definitely no depth.

[yabbadabbadoo]

Everyone keeps saying Burg needs to upgrade the schedule. Who they gonna play?


With the Burg being in Southern Ohio, any decent team will be at best 2-2.5 hours away. Even though Burg has a great following those years they played in Martin's Ferry and St. Clairsville from what I heard not a lot of Burg fans in the stands. That is close to a 4 hour drive and unless you have a kid playing or cheering, that is a stretch to go watch a HS football game.

Burg played Johnson Central, KY a few years back and lost to them but for some reason that was only a 1 game deal. JC left with some key injuries that cost them there game the next week, so maybe that is why they haven't played since. Who knows!!!!


Watterson next year will be a good upgrade. They are usually D3 to D4 so should be a great matchup.

You found the answer. Burg should keep scheduling the CCL whenever possible. They have more open weeks than the SOC II teams do.

[jager1979]

Does faitland not have any fans on here? I seen the film of the game against west. Fairland looks like they have good size and fast athletes.

Bg6 you get ur scouting report from IBTT

LMAO no. I seen their film. I don't think this game will be close by any means. But, fairland does look to have a couple quick athletes and some decent size linemen

[Jolly P(irate)]

That RB looks like a bruiser too. Lol. They do have some athletes on the field. The offense they run looks to be very predictable and simple. Spread formation with traps, screens, bubbles and hitches. They try to go short and make something happen afterward. I didn't see much of a verticle attack. Defense looks pretty good on the run, but pass coverage is wide open. I look for Burg to extend the field and drop some bombs come Friday night.

[TrojanXplosion]

#2 receiver for Wheelersburg is a giant! I don't see anyone matching his size in the secondary, anywhere. Wheelersburg blew me away Friday night with all of the speed and playmakers. This team is dangerous and a treat to watch.

[TrojanXplosion]

Something else I would like to add, a lot of animosity towards the Pirates for being so good. What the hell? Instead of be upset, look at the great bar they have set. Portsmouth, Wheelersburg, and Ironton all three used to run the show around here. Wheelersburg has taken it a million steps forward with the constant success and deep playoff runs, especially recently. Let's not be mad the Pirates are this loaded. What if this entire area worked as hard as the Pirates? Our local teams would all benefit and we'd gain even more respect from the big bad north come playoff time.
