I am hearing that the prognosis for Klaiber is good. He is off crutches after having no weight on his legs for 3 weeks to allow the fracture in his femur heal. The condition he has will eventually require surgery, but could be later in life. With some modified workouts in the gym, no deep squats, etc, he should be able to participate fully this season. Hoping for more good news this week after his follow up appointment.

Was it close to the $7 Million he got at Alabama? I heard it was only $6.5 Million from Ironton.

It was actually $6 million, but they were throwing in a piece of the old bridge, lifetime membership to Tri-State Rehab, then as long as he was coach he could eat Giovannis for free, and Spriggs was throwing in a free keg of Natural Light a week.

Just heard the Ironton vs Burg game got moved to Saturday August 26th. Will be only game in the area. Talk about a big crowd. Might be one of the best attended games in regular season in years at Ironton.

Show up early, pay $5 and stand 4 deep on the fence.
Show up at halftime, get in free and sit wherever you want.

I have to agree with oak. Not visitor friendly and especially not neutral friendly. Ironton could use a bigger set of visitor seats.

I talked to a player and they said it was moved to Saturday. I guess it is obvious money and Ironton attendance has been way down.

Just heard that Ironton had a kid going to some special academic event at a college during the summer. Only a few kids are picked to participate in these type events and the head coach talks him out of it. I am not sure what was said but the kid would miss some physical fitness time and the coach said that he could not hold his spot when he returned. Every time I get to thinking that I believe in this staff they let me down.

I guess the term "student-athlete" is just a lie. If this is true, it is a darn shame. If it were my kid, I would tell him to go anyway and to heck with football.
