There's no fans in the OVC that have a more unique view than the people whose houses border the stadium above the field.
I don't keep detailed records like I do in basketball, but I can't remember the last time Portsmouth won at Gallipolis. I know it's been quite a while. Maybe some GAHS fan has that info. I do know that the Blue Devils hold a rather decided edge in the series.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
I've both played football and marched on that field, rain or shine. It has gotten better in recent years. It's not up to par with most fields in the area, but I wouldn't say it needs to be torn down. Really, I wouldn't even say it needs to be decommissioned.BigChuck wrote: ↑Tue Aug 13, 2019 11:39 amSorry, but that stadium should be torn down.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
The only thing we've done over the past 10 years is use Ironton posters words and thrown them in their faces. That's where "It's only Ashland" came from.YOU'RE TIGER BAIT wrote: ↑Thu Aug 15, 2019 2:52 pm OH I AM RAZZING YOU BACK. AND THE LAKE WHITE THING MADE ME LAUGH.

Look, you guys have a good thing going for you now. That's great. But true humility comes after a big win. But all you guys want to do is bump them gums before the first snap. I hope it's a battle. I hope we meet in the playoffs. We wont shy away. Win or lose we will be better week 2.
Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
What makes me laugh the most is most Ironton fans think that they’ll beat Burg, OVC is in the bag, and they will win a state championship. They went 6-5 last year. Haven’t beat burg since 2012, lost to two OVC teams the last two years. It’s one thing to be optimistic and hopeful for a season. But cmon now.
Yes, they may have great athletes, they may have a young coach who can keep them motivated, they will contend for an OVC title, But.. their coach is a young coach. A lot of experienced coaches in this conference and on their non conference schedule. It’s all about how you put it together each week at the end of the day. I don’t see anyway this team wins a state championship. I may eat my words come week 15. But I doubt it.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
read my posts matt, I don't feel that way at all matt. you know that. the only thing I have stated even remotely close is I said I think gahs, ironton and Portsmouth are likely the 3 frontrunners talent wise. I know the ovc will be a dogfight. and as far as a state championship. I've not seen any discussion of that anywhere. buty I don't get out much. you gotta win week 1 first. and that's weeks away. and I'm excited for you grovers and your new coach.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
That wasn’t directed towards you at all bait. I know how loyal of a fan you are and how honest you’d be good or bad towards your tigers. I haven’t really read many posts in this thread. It’s just what I see on Facebook, hear around town, and hear what people say. Coal Grove and Ironton are so close you hear people say a lot of things. Lol
Also excited for the Grover’s and our new coach as well. I think we’ll be much improved. Even with the losses suffered at skill positions. Entire line returns and one of our leading rushers. Should be a good year.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
Poor ol' bait Boy takes everything personal. Because he has a bazillion posts on here he feels that any post towards Ironton is directed towards him. By the way, I believe that Gallia wins the OVC running the table in that conference. Don't know that they go undefeated on the whole season, but they do in conference.Matt77 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 16, 2019 9:35 am That wasn’t directed towards you at all bait.

Re: OVC FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS THIS YEAR.
I didn't take anything personal chucky. I was simply stating I knew better than to think that way. and it reflected in my posts. nothing has been proven yet. and if it weren't for you burg folk, there would be no activity on ironton topics. so maybe yer lookin in the mirror there slick.
