2019 Ironton Tigers Outlook

[522Pirate]

As a Pirate fan I too am excited beyond measure for the first game of the season and I for one am pumped about the possible resurgence of the tiger program. I've always enjoyed the atmosphere when these two communities meet for competition. I think it serves for better preparation come playoff time when you've been involved in all out battles beforehand, and seen what you're made of mentally. How you respond when the chips are down and so on... I enjoy talking to my son about the games afterwards and seeing what kind of lessons he may have learned through adversity. CAN NOT WAIT!!

speaking of some local joints for the tiger fans heading N on 93....rowdy's smokehouse you cant go wrong before a football game.....great tailgating atmosphere with great meats to choose from with a baked potato fit for a king.....stockroom 601 (next to the old ponderosa building) you will find great burgers wings etc....arch n eddies is a nice sit down meal with some great tasty food....fries with garlic parmesan on them are mouth watering and filling....the Corner Pub you can get the local favorite of a Jackson County Veal...…of course there's all the food chains of Pizza Hut, KFC and so forth...….if ya want a good samich to head back down the road and eat in the car order a hot ham n cheese sub from Gillespie's across from Wal-Mart heading south on 93 out of town...…delicious...….and make sure you a grab an ice cold can of Ski pop to wash it all down.....look forward to seeing the Ironton faithful in town

My pick would be Arch & Eddie's and then down the street to Michael's for a bubble.
I may have just talked myself in to going now.lol

ooo how I forgot the Bubble....shame on me for that one...…..yes come on up and the last preseason Friday night lights....

Just curious , is the stadium in Portsmouth older than the one in Ironton

From what I’ve always read is your 1-2 touchdowns down before you walk onto Tiger turf .

That’s correct, unless a certain crew from Ironton is working that game, then you’re 3-4 down. JS

I heard that before you step out onto that field in Pasadena, you have already been beaten by 5 touchdowns, showered, dressed & already seated at ya table at Beauty & Essex for the post game meal if the Scioto County Rose Bowl champs are in the building.

I heard that some people are as full of crap as a Christmas turkey. nobody wants a poorly officiated game.

[countywide35]

tiger fans have been the recipient of too many poorly officiated games...….

[kantucky]

Several years back I counted them up during the Lutz's era, excluding playoffs. Even I was surprised how little difference there was in wins at home and wins on the road. It was statistically insignificant. I can't swear to it but I very strongly suspect that the percentage difference was far less than the other schools.

[countywide35]

After watching Ironton versus Jackson tonight. They are definitely the for real deal. They are a solid ball club. #2 is an animal. And they have a kicker that is going to be a weapon for them all year. Good football team. Burg gonna have their hands full next week

[Bobbbbbb]

Ironton will have there hands full too...

[countywide35]

Oooo no doubt. This game is gonna be top notch.

[countywide35]

Burg won’t be coming in an controlling this game start to finish like games in years past. It’s gonna be war a week from tonight.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

I can't wait to see it. I'm very excited.

[Tjhtygeverve]

I can't wait to see it. I'm very excited.
